Tens of thousands of Jordanians lined the streets from the airport to the royal palace in Amman upon the King’s return from Washington, expressing solidarity with his stance against displacing Palestinians from Gaza.
The crowds held portraits of King Abdullah with slogans such as “With you, Our Leader” and “Jordan stands firm under your leadership,” waving Jordanian flags and wearing the red-and-white Jordanian keffiyeh, while others wore the black-and-white Palestinian keffiyeh in a “display of unity.”
Banners reading “Jordan for Jordanians, Palestine for Palestinians” and “No to the displacement of our Palestinian brothers” were also raised, alongside a map of Jordan painted in national colors, with the words “We stand with the King” beneath it.
