Jordan’s King opposes Palestinian relocation in meeting with Trump

King Abdullah of Jordan has expressed his opposition to the relocation of Palestinians in his country during a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, February 12, France Press reported that King Abdullah told Trump at the White House that he opposed the U.S. takeover of Gaza.

On Tuesday, Trump met with King Abdullah II of Jordan at the White House. Together with the Jordanian king, he made it clear that he would not back down from his idea of relocating the people of Gaza.

Trump has asked Jordan and Egypt to accept the residents of Gaza. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and other Arab countries have opposed this plan. The idea has also sparked anger across the Arab world.

Once again at the White House, Trump confirmed, “We will take it, we will keep it, we will cherish it. Ultimately, we will develop it and create many jobs for the people of the Middle East.”

The Jordanian king emphasized that his country accepts around 2,000 sick children from Gaza but does not agree with Trump’s plan to control Gaza.

Before the meeting with King Abdullah, U.S. President Trump had stated that Washington would cut its aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refused to accept the resettlement of Palestinians in their countries.

It is important to note that both Jordan and Egypt are long-time allies of the United States in the region.

This diplomatic exchange highlights ongoing tensions over the Palestinian issue, as well as the strategic relationships between the U.S., Jordan, and Egypt.
