Haaretz: To Counter Trump’s Threats To Expel Palestinians From Gaza, Arab States Must Take Initiative – Jordan And Egypt May Soon Find Themselves In A Head-On Collision With U.s. President
Jordan and Egypt’s economic and military reliance on the U.S., combined with the new president’s unpredictability, will make it difficult for them to resist pressure to take in Palestinian refugees from Gaza – unless they present alternatives of their own
Jordan and Egypt may soon find themselves in a head-on collision with U.S. President Donald Trump after Trump’s repeated suggestion that they take in displaced Palestinian refugees from Gaza. Trump has insisted that the two countries “will do so” and suggested that this was because the U.S. “do[es] a lot for them,” touching on a highly sensitive point.
Officially, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi and Jordanian King Abdullah have rejected Trump’s proposal outright and opposed any relocation or expulsion of Gazans.
On Saturday, their position was endorsed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, which issued a joint statement together with the Palestinian Authority rejecting Trump’s idea.
Egypt is raising concerns about the potential implications for its national security, particularly in the Sinai Peninsula, and says such a plan would require a repositioning of its military – something that would also have implications for Israel…
Officials in both Cairo and Amman are open about their concerns, saying their leaders have been left little room to maneuver because of the sensitive timing and public nature of Trump’s proposal. Public opinion in both countries is sharply opposed to such an initiative. But sanctions or extensive cuts to aid by the U.S. could pose a genuine threat to essential systems in both countries…
The source adds that Egypt is dependent on aid from Washington and needs access to the World Bank, in which the U.S. wields significant power. “As long as there is no alternative plan, it won’t be easy to withstand the pressure if Trump insists on implementing his plan,” the source says.
