Hamas praises Jordan and Egypt for their repeated rejections of US President Donald Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and displace its population to the two neighboring countries.
The terror group says in a statement that the Jordanian and Egyptian positions “confirm that there is an Arab plan to reconstruct Gaza without displacing its people.”
Earlier today, the Egyptian foreign ministry announced its plans for a “comprehensive vision for the reconstruction” of the Gaza Strip that ensures Palestinians remain on their land.
The ministry’s statement came a day after Trump floated halting aid to Egypt and Jordan if they refuse to cooperate with his proposal.
During a meeting with Trump in Washington on Tuesday, Jordan’s King Abdullah II confirmed that Egypt would present a plan that Arab leaders would discuss at coming talks. He also said that his country would take in 2,000 sick children from Gaza.
Egypt announced earlier this week it would hold an “emergency Arab summit” on February 27 addressing Trump’s plan.
