Immediate neighbours of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank respectively, they suffer dramatic direct economic, political and social impact which is adding to pre-existing vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan has a majority population of Palestinian origin, Egypt has a deep historical relationship with the Gaza Strip which was under the administration of Cairo until the Israeli occupation in 1967. Among other economic woes, Egypt is confronted with a steep reduction of income from the Suez Canal due to the Yemeni Houthi's war against commercial shipping in the Red Sea in the name of assistance to Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Cairo and Amman were worried by US president Donald Trump's remarks who seemed to favour Palestinian migration from the Gaza Strip to other countries, especially Egypt and Jordan. In the beginning of March, Egypt presented her own Gaza reconstruction plan, endorsed by the League of the Arab States. Support came recently from French President Emmanuel Macron at a summit with the leaders of Egypt and Jordan in Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>The panel will discuss the effect and impact of the Gaza war on the MENA region, Egypt and Jordan in particular, and the possible Arab path forward. What role for Europe in this scenario?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amr Adly<\/strong> is an associate professor in the department of political science at The American University in Cairo (AUC).
