Since the second term of the United States president began on January 20, King Abdullah II has become the first Arab leader to meet Donald Trump at the White House.
Sitting with Trump on Tuesday put Abdullah in a critical situation.
Although Jordan and the United States had historically strong ties, Trump has repeatedly pressured Abdullah and his government to accept Palestinians from war -torn Gaza, where Israel has attacked the military since October 2023. –
Meanwhile, the United States has said that it will “take power” by evacuating its inhabitants and “its” by itself “, a proposal critic said would be equivalent to ethnic cleansing.
Trump once again said on Tuesday, “This is not a complicated thing.” “The United States is under the control of this piece of land – which is a large piece of land – you will find stability in the Middle East for the first time.”
Both Jordan and its ally Egypt have forcibly refused to accept the homeless Palestinians.
Abdullah’s meeting came as a recent ceasefire in Gaza. Israel has threatened – behind Trump’s remarks – to resume the bombing on Saturday if the Palestinian group Hamas does not release all the pilgrims until Saturday.
But Abdullah refrained from contradicting Trump during his meeting, and instead identified the future plan from Egypt.
Here are some of the important ways to meet the meeting between Abdullah and Trump.
Trump doubles on the Gaza Tech -over Plan (again)
Inside the Oval Office, journalists asked Trump about his comments that the United States would occupy Gaza and that the Palestinians living there would be moved elsewhere, which has no right to return.
He was directly in his response, seemingly deaf in some questions. Yes, the United States will control Gaza and rebuild it. Yes, Palestinians who have been living there for generations – many of them are already refugees from Israel – Jordan and Egypt will move to the “parcel of earth”.
“We’re going to take it. We’re going to catch it. We are going to care about it. Without details, Trump said,” We are finally getting to get it where a lot for the Middle East people. Jobs are about to arise.
Trump also doubled his threats that if Hamas leaders do not release Israeli detainees in the enclave in the next four days, the ceasefire with Israel will end.
“I don’t think they will personally make a deadline,” Trump said. “They want to play a hard man. We will see how hard they are.
He added that he would not accept a slow timeline: “They either take them out until 12 o’clock on Saturday or all stakes are closed.”
Trump announced this deadline a day earlier, apparently in a cuff comment with reporters.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has then echoed Trump’s threats, and warned that his army – which had killed more than 61,700 Palestinians before 2023 – if Israeli was not released. If it is done, its bombing campaign will begin.
It seems that Trump at least in front of Abdullah and the cameras, was at risk that he was at risk that if he was not willing to plan his Gaza displaced, aid from Jordan and Egypt could be stopped. Is
“I don’t need to threaten it,” Trump said. “I am sure we are beyond that.”
Abdullah diplomatic, but says that Arab states have their plan for Gaza
While meeting with Trump, the Jordanian king was facing a difficult task: How did he go to repeat his country’s opposition to his country against the Gaza plan without knowing the president for tolerance for disagreement?
Finally, Abdullah chose to avoid speaking too much in front of the media, and when he did so, his language was cautious, precise and designed to avoid crime.
When asked if Jordan would take Gaza to the displaced Palestinians, the Jordanian leader said he would do “best” work for his country.
In social media posts after the meeting, he said that Jordan was “steadfast” in Gaza and the West Bank against the displacement of Palestinians.
He added that Arab states will come with their plan for Gaza, which will be presented after finalization. He also flattened Trump: “I eventually see someone who can take us to the last line to bring us all the stability, peace and prosperity in the region.”
Following the meeting, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safdi also said that Gaza is an Arab project to rebuild his people without displacement of his people.
Some observers believe that Trump’s Gaza plan is a negotiation tactic, and that Arab states will be exposed to counter -fuffer.
Trump focuses on real estate, not a Palestinian concentration linked to land
The US President, of course, has its roots in the real estate business.
Most of Trump’s money comes from the real estate empire he inherited from his father, and then hosted a reality TV show in addition to granting his family’s name to an unknown product as well as a reality TV show –
Some of these properties are informed, however, when they described their Gaza project on Tuesday, they used it in this language.
“I have taken a huge career in real estate,” Trump told old memories. ” “When you have done, when you are president, you can do better for people.”
Trump described Gaza as a “diamond” in the Middle East. However, when he was asked on Tuesday if he would consider the purchase of Gaza as part of his occupation plan, Trump was rejected.
“We’re not going to buy. Trump said there is nothing to buy.” We will have Gaza. There is no reason to buy. This is Gaza. This is a war -torn area.
Critics say their vision about Gaza – re -developed from hotels, offices and “Raera” environment – is divorced by the politics of the region. Despite the decades -long Israeli occupation, Palestinians have long been under pressure to force the rest of their land.
On Tuesday, Trump once again emphasized that the Palestinians would not want to live in Gaza, apparently ignoring his commitment to his land.
This nationalism was recently seen when hundreds of thousands of homeless Palestinians used a ceasefire to return to northern Gaza, even if most of their houses were destroyed by Israel. Most of them hiking.
His message was a simple: that he would not be discharged again.
