US Secretary of State Antony Blinken assures Jordan’s King Abdullah that Washington opposes the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, before he departed Amman for Doha.
The palace says that the king had raised Jordan’s concerns over displacement in the meeting.
Speaking to Abdullah, Blinken “stressed US opposition to forcible displacement of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza and the critical need to protect Palestinian civilians in the West Bank from extremist settler violence,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says in a statement.
