Israel - Hamas War : Jordan's King rejects any Israeli plan to occupy parts of Gaza
Jordan's king Abdullah has rejected any Israeli intentions to seize areas of Gaza or establish security zones within the enclave, citing Israel's refusal of Palestinians' "legitimate rights" as the fundamental cause of the conflict, according to official media. The monarch was cited as addressing top leaders at the royal palace that there could be "no military or security solution" to the dispute between israel and the Palestinians.
He stated that israel should not separate the war-torn enclave of Gaza from the rest of the Palestinian Territories. The king warned the MPs that the "root of the crisis was Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and its denial of legitimate rights to Palestinians." "The solution starts from there and any other path is doomed to failure and more of a cycle of violence and destruction," he added. According to Abdullah, he has long warned about Israeli transgressions in the West Bank, with which jordan shares a, and that Jewish settler attacks on Palestinian people might "expand the conflict" and push the area "to the abyss."
Jordan is home to a huge number of Palestinian refugees and their descendants who worry that israel would remove them in large numbers from the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where Israeli settler assaults on Palestinian residents have increased since Hamas's Oct. 7 onslaught on southern Israel.
This month, Abdullah stated that resuming discussions on an independent Palestinian state alongside israel was the best way to achieve long-term peace. Negotiations for a "two-state solution" of Palestinian independence in Israeli-occupied areas have been stalled for almost a decade, thanks to US mediation.
