President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Gaza’s Palestinians relocate to Jordan and Egypt on a “short term or long term” basis has been dismissed as diplomatically “unprecedented.”
The critics are wrong.
Jordan is a majority Palestinian state ruled by an ethnic Hashemite monarchy of fewer than 100 people. If Palestinians have a “right of return,” it’s to Jordan. Palestinians in the West Bank/Judea & Samaria and Gaza were Jordanian and remain so, despite the Hashemite Kingdom’s abandonment of them.
Jordan and Egypt oppose assuming responsibility for the Palestinians. “They will,” says President Trump. He is right — both historically and legally. Jordan’s own nationality law confirms that Palestinians are legally Jordanian. According to Jordanian Nationality Law No. (6) of 1954: "Anyone who held Palestinian nationality before May 15, 1948, and habitually resided in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan between December 20, 1949, and February 16, 1954, is considered a Jordanian citizen."
In 1951, Jordan’s Hashemite regime declared sovereignty over Palestinian territories designated for Arabs under the U.N. Partition Plan. The Jericho Conference formalized this, with Palestinians recognizing the Hashemites as "Kings of Palestine." Consequently, every resident of Gaza was considered a Jordanian citizen between 1949 and 1954. By rejecting Trump’s proposal, the Hashemite regime violates international law, which prohibits rendering individuals stateless or denying them entry into their own country.
Jordan occupies 78% of British Mandate Palestine. The British installed the Hashemites as rulers until 1946. In 1949, Jordan revoked Palestinians' British Palestinian passports and replaced them with Jordanian passports. Most Gazans are refugees from areas previously controlled by Jordan’s Hashemite regime, making them Jordanian citizens by ancestry with the right to return.
Like many post-colonial Arab states, Jordan is an artificial entity. It lacked its own passport until 1949, relying instead on British-issued Palestinian passports.

There is about $500 billion in fossil fuels off the coast of Gaza.
At about two million Gazans, that’s about $250,000 each.
They’re not going to leave that to others.
Prime Mediterranean land is valuable too.
My suggestion.....
Move the UN to Gaza. Put Trump’s park of patriot statues on the vacated land. UN can show the world what great peacekeepers they are.

Yeah, but there is nothing to eat and nowhere to live. The place is a moonscape.
“Palestinians express shock and defiance at Trump plan”
Who didn’t anticipate that? That’s the hill they will unfortunately die on, literally. I suspect it’s going to happen now that the peace deal broke down between Hamas and Israel. The fighting will start right back up, and the rest of GAZA will be rubble. After it’s rubble, nobody will want to repair it because of the risk. People will have to be displaced.
You mean the Paris we knew in the 20th century.
The Paris we know today was created by globalists destabilizing half the world and orchestrating the invasion of Europe by Middle Easterners and Africans.
