Jordan's King rejects Trump proposal to displace Palestinians from Gaza [View all]

(BBC) King Abdullah of Jordan has rejected Donald Trump's plan to resettle Palestinians in the kingdom.

Following a meeting with Trump at the White House on Tuesday, Abdullah wrote on X that Jordan remained "steadfast" against "the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. This is the unified Arab position."

It was the first meeting between the pair since Trump announced his proposal to take over Gaza and move its population of two million Palestinians to other countries in the region, including Jordan.

Earlier this week, Trump suggested he could withhold aid to Jordan and Egypt unless they agreed to take in those Palestinians from Gaza. Jordan, a key US ally in the Middle East, is already home to millions of Palestinians.
