During a meeting at the White House, President Trump proposed an audacious plan to clear Gaza's residents for redevelopment as a tourist area. King Abdullah of Jordan, who attended the meeting, opposed the idea of displacing Gazans but expressed willingness to accept a limited number of sick children. The discussion raised concerns over humanitarian issues in Gaza and highlighted tensions regarding U.S. aid to Jordan and Egypt. Abdullah emphasized Jordan's unified stance against Palestinian displacement and noted Trump's potential to foster stability in the region.
I reiterated Jordan's steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. This is the unified Arab position.
He suggested he wouldn't withhold U.S. aid to Jordan or Egypt if they don't agree to dramatically increase the number of people from Gaza they take in.
I finally see somebody that can take us across the finish line to bring stability, peace and prosperity to all of us in the region.
Abdullah made no substantive comments on Trump's plan to clear out Gaza but expressed Jordan's willingness to accept ill children from the region.
