Trump's Controversial Proposal for Palestinian Resettlement in Jordan and Egypt

President Trump's suggestion for resettling Palestinians raises questions on U.S. policy in the region.


In an unexpected move, President Trump proposed that Jordan and Egypt take in displaced Palestinians from Gaza, a suggestion that has drawn mixed reactions and ignited fears among Palestinians about being uprooted from their homeland.

On January 26, 2025, President Trump remarked on the urgency of addressing the situation in Gaza, likening it to a “demolition site.” He stated that he had discussed the matter with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and intended to reach out to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to encourage both nations to accept more Palestinians. "You're talking about probably a million and a half people," Trump noted, emphasizing the pressing need for a solution to the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Critics of Trump’s plan argue that it aligns with far-right Israeli proposals suggesting the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza to other neighboring countries, which many see as exacerbating the already fraught Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hamas, the ruling militant group in Gaza, quickly condemned Trump’s comments, asserting that Palestinians have endured significant trauma and loss, and that they will not accept any proposals perceived as aiming to displace them further. Basem Naim, a Hamas official, stated that their focus is on remaining in their homeland in the face of destruction.

The discourse surrounding Trump’s remarks raises critical questions about U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, especially related to the rights and status of Palestinians. As the situation in Gaza continues to evolve, the international community observes how this proposal could influence the dynamics of the region.

In summary, Trump's controversial suggestion for Jordan and Egypt to accept more Palestinians from Gaza has drawn sharp criticism and underscored the complexities of U.S. involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with significant implications for the future of Palestinian identity and sovereignty.
