In a recent diplomatic engagement, both the European Union (EU) and Jordan have reiterated their firm stance against the displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank.

This unified position was a key topic during discussions in Brussels last week, emphasizing the need for stability and humanitarian consideration in the region, a diplomatic source said Wednesday.

Strong Diplomatic Ties and Humanitarian Concerns

The meeting underscored the deep diplomatic ties between the EU and Jordan, particularly regarding the sensitive issue of Palestinian displacement.

Both parties expressed their commitment to preventing any forced migration of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, recognizing the severe humanitarian and political consequences such actions could entail.

Collective Punishment and International Response

EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell last week addressed the issue of “collective punishment” of Palestinians, condemning such actions and advocating for dialogue and peaceful resolutions. This stance aligns with Jordan’s long-standing position on the Palestinian issue, further solidifying the alliance between the two entities, the source noted.

Broader Regional Issues

The discussions extended to other pressing regional matters, including the situation in Syria and the Israeli Occupation’s measures against the Palestinians.
