President Donald Trump reiterated his proposal to relocate Palestinians in Gaza and redevelop the land into premium housing during a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan. Despite objections from Arab leaders, Trump maintained his stance that Palestinians should be moved to third countries, including Jordan, to bring stability to the region.
Trump emphasized the potential for stability in the Middle East with the United States taking control of the land in Gaza. King Abdullah II expressed discomfort with the plan but suggested that alternate proposals from Egypt and other Arab countries would be considered.
While Trump did not explicitly threaten to cut aid to Jordan if they rejected the plan, he indicated that financial incentives were not necessary to garner support. He emphasized the positive relationship between the U.S. and Jordan and expressed confidence in finding a mutually beneficial solution.
As discussions continue, both leaders acknowledged the need for a comprehensive approach that considers the interests of all parties involved. Trump's determination to move forward with the plan was evident, despite reservations from some regional leaders.
