Like President Donald Trump’s meetings these days, talks with King Abdullah II of Jordan on Tuesday revolves around the president’s mind.
A week after the Gaza Strip to overcome a new plan to overcome the Gaza Strip and re -develop a “Middle Eastern Rowera”, Trump intends to talk to his remote plan in fact –
Trump said, “I’m talking about starting building, and I think I can deal with Jordan. I think I can deal with Egypt.
In this case, the deal he is imagining will apparently accept millions of new Palestinian refugees in Jordan and Egypt – on their constant objections – so Trump can clean the debris from the Gaza Strip, Mediterranean With the sight of the glass you can build a new tower and “invite the world. People” to go in.
As a lease, Trump is adding billions of dollars to Jordan and Egypt every year in US aid, without which these countries may face financial problems.
“Yeah, maybe, of course not?” Trump responded at the Oval Office on Monday evening when he was asked if he would receive US aid to Jordan and Egypt. “If they don’t do so, I will stop understanding help, yes.”
Nevertheless, Cairo and Oman are not without taking advantage of their own: both keep their security policies closely with Washington, and last year, both have played their role in protecting Israel, when Jordan Held to shoot the barrage of Iranian missiles. Israel. Even some US officials worry to force Egypt and Jordan to accept new Palestinian refugees, even if this is possible, two trusted security partners can seriously destabilize.
“I think he will take it, and I think other countries will take,” Trump said a day before meeting Abdullah. “Their hearts are good.”
With Abdullah, this week, along with Washington’s Egyptian officials, the question is whether Trump’s proposal for disturbing raids is serious, or is it a mere alternative plan to bring peace and stability to the area. One point is the beginning.
Some Trump officials have proposed the latter, even if they are cautious to insist that the president does not bullfing when discussing his brave idea.
“If you do not like his plan, come to the table with his plan,” Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, said on Sunday. Since Trump’s comments.
US officials said, at its root, Trump’s advice was intended to encourage the implementation of the issue he has seen as Morbund, no other nations offer a reasonable solution for the construction of the area. There are those who have been abolished by the Israeli bombing after Hamas’s October. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks.
Nevertheless, it is debatable that in Trump’s mind, there is a difference between a serious proposal and negotiation tactic. At a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he did not say anything about the Gaza plan a week since he first called it out loud, showing that it was a There is nothing but the most essential strategy, even if the statements of some of their top officials have suggested.
In fact, in the days before the arrival of Abdullah, Trump did nothing to soften what many people in the region have for: that Palestinians who leave Gaza under their plan. Will not be allowed to come.
“No, they won’t,” Trump was asked in an interview on Fox News when he was asked if Palestinians would have the right to return to Gaza? “Because their accommodation will be much better. Better – In other words, I’m talking about making a permanent place for them.
Trump is leaning on Jordan and Egypt
So far, Trump finds this in search of this “permanent place” in Jordan and Egypt, though leaders of the two countries rapidly rejected the project last week.
Egypt, which is worried about a Palestinian arrival that destabilizes its Sena region, said Sunday that it was a “Emergency” Arab League summit in Cairo on February 28 in the Palestinian issue ” Will ask for new and dangerous developments “to discuss.
In Jordan, where a large part of the population is of the Palestinian race, this issue is especially resonance. The country absorbed other waves of Palestinian refugees, which began during the war in 1948, which led to Israel.
In 1970, armed Palestinian factions tried to control the country with King Abdullah’s father Hussein, a short but violent conflict called “Black September”. The memories of the incident have not ended after more than 50 years, at least not by the current king of the country, as this country has a critical settlement balance between its Palestinian and ancestral Jordanian population.
At a moment when the popular dissatisfaction with the king is increasing, the question of how the question of moving forward can be an existence, for both Abdullah and his US -based geopolitics.
An unstable Jordan will cause deep trouble for both the United States and Israel. Already, some opposition figures in Jordan have demanded the kingdom to turn their attention to the United States and China, Russia or the wealthy Arab states.
That complicates Trump’s plan to move more than a million Palestinian refugees. Nevertheless, yet, he has not acknowledged these difficulties, instead of being able to discuss some viable solutions.
“I have a feeling that despite their saying, I realize that the king and the general in Jordan – the president – but that the general in Egypt will open his heart and give us the kind of land that we have to get. It is necessary.
The Tuesday meeting will not be the first conversation between Trump and Abdullah about accepting more Palestinian refugees.
“I told him, ‘I would love to take the most of you because I am now watching the whole of Gaza, and it’s a mess.” Last month
At that time, Trump did not publicly disclose his new plan to take the belt’s “long -term ownership”. Before the announcement of the president from the East Rome, Trump’s officials did not circulate their plan with Jordan or Egyptian officials.
And when Trump had been discussing his views with the assistants for several days, before he was not written before Netanyahu, along with Netanyahu, before being published in his remarks.
An Arab government official who asked to be anonymous because of the sensitivity of the matter, told CNN that it was not yet clear if the United States had worked fully through details of Trump’s plan. The official said that the Arab officials would discuss the matter with the Trump administration and propose ideas about the future of Gaza, which would not include expelling its Palestinians.
It is unclear how Trump can reconcile with his view.
