Arab foreign ministers rejected US President Donald Trump’s call for Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza, issuing a joint statement rejecting any attempt to strip Palestinians of their rights, whether through settlements, evictions, annexation, or forced displacement. Foreign ministers and government officials from Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Palestinian Authority, and the Arab League — who met in Cairo yesterday — said they were willing to work with the Trump administration toward comprehensive Middle East peace founded on a two-state solution “in a manner that ensures the Palestinians remain on their land.” The story also got ink in Reuters | AP | CBS.
