Jordan's King Abdullah said on Wednesday he rejected any attempts to annex land and displace Palestinians after a shock proposal by President Donald Trump that the U.S. take over Gaza, an issue that strikes a raw nerve in the kingdom.

President Donald Trump insisted Egypt and Jordan will take in Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, dismissing the countries’ refusal to accept people from the war-shattered territory.

President Trump declared today that Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip have “no alternative” but to leave the enclave because of the devastation wrought there by Israel in its war with Hamas. Trump suggested that Jordan and Egypt should take in the Palestinians.
