NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich came out and questioned Jordan’s refusal to take Palestinian refugees from Gaza, a few days after Egypt declared that it would do the same.

Jordan’s King Abdullah recently announced in a news conference after a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin that the humanitarian situation should be dealt with inside Gaza and the West Bank.

"That is a red line because I think that is the plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground. No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt," King Abdullah said as reported by Reuters.

Pavlich took to X (formerly Twitter) and questioned the refusal of these nations for not taking any refugees from Gaza.

The 35-year-old Fox News journalist shared a screenshot of a news clipping on her X profile which spoke about King Abdullah’s decision to not allow any Gaza refugees in Egypt or Jordan.

Pavlich posted it on her profile and wrote, “Interesting. Egypt now Jordan. Why? Why won’t they accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza? It isn’t to “remain steadfast and present on their land”.”

The Fox News journalist pointed out Jordan and Egypt’s policy to keep their land protected from this crisis by not opening their borders to the Gaza refugees.

She stated that despite the Palestinian Arabs being in peril at the moment, the nations surrounding them are unwilling to bring the conflict into their country by opening their gates, her questions implying that there is a reason behind it that the countries are not revealing.

Fox News' Katie Pavlich says Hamas is behind an air strike on Gaza Hospital

After an unfortunate and saddening missile strike at a hospital in the city of Gaza took the lives of 500 Palestinian civilians, many flocked to blame the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) for it.

However, Pavlich asserted that it wasn’t the IDF but Hamas who bombed their own hospital and killed Palestinian civilians.

Responding to Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s tweet, Pavlich wrote, “Hamas just bombed their own hospital, full of Palestinians, after a rocket full of shrapnel and fired at Israel fell short (which happens 40 % of the time). Now you know what Israel goes through, where is your condemnation?”

She later posted another tweet, correcting her stance, calling it “Islamic Jihad.”

She wrote, “Correction to this tweet: It was Islamic Jihad.”

For people questioning the role of the IDF behind the air strike at Gaza Hospital, Pavlich stated that one doesn’t need an “IDF statement” to determine that Hamas was behind the attack. 

She tweeted, “You don't need the IDF statement (though helpful w/ distinction between Hamas & PIJ) to prove the hospital in Gaza was hit by a rocket from inside the Gaza Strip, not an Israeli airstrike. The timing, video of the rocket, the sound, the kind of explosion, etc. were enough.”
