Trump's bid to move Palestinians an 'existential threat' to Jordan
Donald Trump's proposal to move Palestinians out of Gaza and have the US take control has sparked major concerns in Jordan, which sees it as an existential threat. Jordanian officials and analysts warn that such a move would destabilize the country, alter its demographics, and undermine its sovereignty. King Abdullah II has firmly rejected the plan ahead of his upcoming meeting with Trump. Despite Jordan’s reliance on US aid, lawmakers insist they will not compromise their national identity or accept forced displacement of Palestinians.
