Exclusive: Jordan proposes exiling 3,000 Hamas members from Gaza to end Israel's war

Jordan is proposing a plan to exile 3,000 members of Hamas and its military wing from the Gaza Strip in an effort to end the ongoing Israeli war, Middle East Eye has learned.

According to American and Palestinian sources briefed on the Jordanian proposal, those to be exiled would include both military and civilian leaders and members of Hamas.

The plan also calls for the disarmament of Hamas and other resistance factions in Gaza, according to a scheduled timeline.

This would end Hamas's rule in the war-battered strip and allow the Palestinian Authority (PA) to assume control.

MEE contacted the Jordanian foreign ministry but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
