NNA - Jordan's King Abdullah II on Wednesday rejected "any attempts" to take control of the Palestinian territories and displace its people, hours after President Donald Trump announced a proposal for the United States to "take over" the Gaza Strip.

The monarch, in a meeting with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, urged efforts "to stop settlement activities and reject any attempts to annex lands and displace Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, stressing the need to establish the Palestinians on their land", a statement said. -- AFP
