Several angry Palestinian and Jordanian local protests broke out to protest the deal for what it holds of the many dangerous political escalations within the region. Many questions rose on how to deal and stop president trump’s plan.

As an early and a first reaction to the plan, Minister of foreign and expatriate affairs, Mr. Ayman Al Safadi, has confirmed the consistency of the Jordanian political position on the Palestinian right’s affair and the Palestinian cause which is based on a “two-state solution” and building the foundation of an independent Palestinian state on the boundaries of the 4th of June agreements with eastern Jerusalem as its capital.

M.r Al Safadi warned of the dangerous escalations of any mono Israeli- decisions that aims to create new realities, such as consuming Palestinian lands and further expanding Israeli-settlements on Palestinian turfs in the west bank, and violating holy sites in eastern Jerusalem.

Majeed Asfour, a political analyst, has said that the deal is considered since its inception for the many contradictions it holds, based on Netanyahu and Trump’s plans specifically in regards of Jerusalem, the Palestinian state and the Palestinian refugees’ files.

Asfour confirms the illegitimacy of such a deal, as it annihilated all previous international decisions and agreements, and he expects that the deal will not pass, and its similar to any previous conspiracies against the Palestinian people’s cause.



In addition, “Abla Abu Olba” the general secretary of “Hashd” political part has warned of the severe effects of this deal on the Palestinian cause and the region in general as it serves Israel’s agenda to establish “greater historical Israel” map.

“Abu Olba” has also explained to “Ammannet” that it erases any rights the Palestinian have to return to their homes, and what the deal’s implications resulting in the localization of Palestinians in Jordan and the rest of the neighboring countries.

Furthermore, the consultation committee meeting of the Jordanian senate led by the senate’s speaker, Mr. Faisal Al Fayez, has consulted regarding the “deal of the century” announcement and that any future peace agreements must guarantee the consistent rights of the Palestinian people to establish their own state on Palestinian soil and on the boundaries of the 4th of June peace agreement of 1967, otherwise they would be stagnant and random and would only result in feuds and violence in the region.

Accordingly, the speaker of the Jordanian house of commons, has strongly denounced trump’s plan, calling it “mono and biased towards the Israeli part” in which it included the full US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the consumption of the valley’s territory to Israeli lands.

The Palestine parliamentary committee has also denounced the deal and called out the Arab nations to stand together in a unified front in support of the Palestinian’s rights of establishing their own state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The head of the committee, Mr. Yehya Al Soud, has described what the deal holds as “disappointing” and considering the United states as an accomplice to the Israeli occupation, and it must comply to the international and UN decisions in regards of the legitimacy of the Palestinian people’s cause.
