A proposal has been made to establish safe zones within Gaza, which would include humanitarian corridors.
King Abdullah II of Jordan said during his visit to Berlin Tuesday that allowing Palestinian refugees into his country or Egypt would be a"red line."NYC doctor reportedly fired over pro-Hamas social media postKing Abdullah II of Jordan shut down the prospect of allowing Palestinian refugees fleeing northern Gaza into his country or Egypt, calling it a “red line” — amid a diplomatic campaign to establish safe zones within the besieged enclave.
“That is a red line, because I think that is the plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground,” Abdullah added, As part of international diplomatic efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians trapped inside Gaza, a bipartisan group of US Congress members has called on Egypt to establish and maintain safe zones in the southern part of the narrow enclave that is home to more than 2 million people.During a whirlwind tour of Arab nations last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke out in support of creating “safe zones” in Gaza.
“The whole region is on the brink of falling into the abyss,” Abdullah said. “All our efforts are needed to make sure we don’t get there.”“We have a common goal to prevent a conflagration in the region,” the chancellor said. “I once again expressly warn Hezbollah and Iran not to intervene in this conflict.”
King Abdullah will also separately hold a summit with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
