Jordan strongly condemned Israel's approval of a new agency aimed at facilitating the displacement of Palestinians under the pretense of "voluntary departure" from the Gaza Strip, calling the move an act of "forcible displacement crimes."
In a statement on Sunday, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry expressed its vehement opposition to the establishment of the agency, asserting that it is part of Israel’s broader efforts to displace Palestinians from their land. The ministry also criticized Israel's approval of the separation of 13 illegal settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank, effectively formalizing them as colonies.
“These actions are part of practices amounting to the forcible displacement of Palestinians from their occupied land,” the statement said, condemning Israel’s ongoing violations of international law and UN resolutions, particularly UN Security Council Resolution 2334.
Jordan urged the international community to “assume its legal and moral responsibilities” by pressuring Israel to halt its actions in Gaza and the West Bank, while emphasizing the right of Palestinians to establish an independent state.
The creation of the agency was approved by Israel’s security cabinet following a proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump, despite strong opposition from regional and international actors, including Egypt, Jordan, other Arab nations, European states, and various international organizations.
Since January 25, Trump has pushed for the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan—plans that have been firmly rejected by both nations.
Israeli attacks on Gaza have escalated since last Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of 674 Palestinians and injuring 1,233, with many of the casualties being women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The violence marks a significant violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which Israel failed to fully implement after the first phase ended in early March. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resisted proceeding with the second phase under pressure from far-right members of his government.
