King Abdullah’s statement came following a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, where the leaders discussed a range of regional and international issues.
“That is a red line because I think that is the plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground. No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt,” King Abdullah stated, emphasizing the need to handle the humanitarian crisis within the territories currently hosting Palestinian refugees.
The King’s remarks underscore Jordan’s longstanding commitment to the welfare and rights of Palestinian refugees. The region has witnessed complex and enduring conflicts, resulting in numerous refugees seeking shelter and aid in neighbouring countries, including Jordan.
This statement comes amidst ongoing global efforts to address the challenges in the Palestinian territories, with a focus on promoting stability, peace, and the well-being of the affected populations. The King’s warning serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing the Palestinian refugee crisis in a manner consistent with international principles and norms while respecting the sovereignty and stability of nations in the region.
