Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has expressed his rejection of the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza during a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Jordan. Abbas warned that such displacement would constitute a "second Nakba" and called for the immediate establishment of humanitarian corridors to prevent a humanitarian disaster.
