Jordan is ready to receive 2000 sick Gaza children for medical treatment, as the healthcare system in the coastal enclave has been devastated, Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan announced on Wednesday.

Hassan reaffirmed Jordan’s clear and unwavering position that there should be no resettlement nor displacement of Palestinians.

No solutions to the Palestinian issue should come at Jordan’s expense, Hassan said during a parliamentary session.

Jordan would not act unilaterally on matters concerning the future of Palestine and the region, he added.

He said that the country was working with Arab nations, alongside Egypt and Palestinians, to formulate a unified and clear Arab position on Gaza’s reconstruction.

Hassan’s remarks came a day after Jordanian King Abdullah II rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during his visit to Washington.
