(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – In a development with far-reaching consequences, major Arab nations have said “no” to President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians, raising critical questions about the stability of the Middle East.

This coalition of countries emphasized a two-state solution as crucial for peace, countering Trump’s idea that many view as destabilizing.
Arab nations, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, backed by the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League, rejected any suggestion of moving Palestinians from Gaza.
Trump envisioned relocating up to 1.5 million people, describing the area as “literally a demolition site” due to the ongoing conflict.
The joint Arab statement emphasized that Trump’s plan might destabilize the region, expanding the Middle East conflict while undermining peace efforts.
Instead, the Arab nations are reinforcing their stand on a two-state solution, highlighting its necessity for lasting peace.
The Cairo meeting of Arab leaders underscored collective support for Palestinian rights and the importance of territorial integrity.
The idea of uprooting Palestinians to Egypt or Jordan was firmly opposed.
“The solution to this issue is the two-state solution. It is the establishment of a Palestinian state,” stated Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, denouncing displacement ideas.
Arab nations also raised concerns about regional economic consequences and potential risks.
Jordan already hosts over 2 million Palestinians, and Egypt fears security implications on its border.
With historical precedents of displacement during the 1948 war, the notion of mass relocation evokes profound unease.
“We affirm our rejection of [any attempts] to compromise Palestinians’ unalienable rights, whether through settlement activities, or evictions or annex of land or through vacating the land from its owners . . . in any form or under any circumstances or justifications,” reads the joint statement, cited by The New York Post.
Regional concerns are intensified by the possibility that Israel may not allow returns if Palestinians leave.
Israel’s recent suspension of the UN Relief and Works Agency’s operations further complicates the humanitarian situation.
The Arab nations welcomed the recent Qatar and Egypt-mediated cease-fire and hostage release agreement between Israel and Hamas as a positive, albeit temporary, step toward peace.
As the Cairo meeting highlighted, reaching a lasting solution is urgent.
Arab nations stressed the necessity for international collaboration to reconstruct Gaza and ensure Palestinians’ continued presence on their land, advocating for a lasting two-state solution.
Top diplomats from Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar rejected any forcible displacement of Palestinians during a meeting in Cairo on Saturday, according to a joint statement.
