Jordan voiced its "firm and unwavering" rejection of President Trump's suggestion that most Palestinians in Gaza could be relocated to neighboring nations.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Egypt and Jordan take in Palestinians from the war-ravaged Gaza Strip is being met with a hard “no” from at least one of the two U.S. allies along with the Palestinians themselves, who fear Israel would never allow them to return.

President Trump said he told King Abdullah II of Jordan during a phone call Saturday that he would like Jordan and Egypt to take in more Palestinians from Gaza, an idea that is likely to reignite debate about the future of nearly two million Palestinians.
