U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Jordan's King Abdullah on Monday, focusing on Gaza's fragile ceasefire, hostages, and regional stability. This discussion followed President Donald Trump's suggestion that Jordan and Egypt should accept more Palestinians from Gaza, a proposal that drew swift backlash.
Trump, speaking Saturday, proposed relocating Palestinians from the war-torn Gaza Strip, where Israel's military response to an October 7 Hamas attack has caused mass casualties and displacement. Trump’s comments reignited Palestinian fears of forced expulsion, with Jordan and Egypt rejecting the idea, citing concerns over sovereignty and regional security. When asked whether the plan was temporary or permanent, Trump responded, "Could be either."
The State Department emphasized Jordan's role in supporting humanitarian aid through the Jordan Corridor while thanking King Abdullah for facilitating ceasefire efforts. Trump's controversial remarks were notably absent from the department's official statement.
The ongoing conflict, triggered by Hamas militants killing 1,200 Israelis and taking 250 hostages, has escalated into one of the region's deadliest episodes. Israel’s subsequent offensive has reportedly killed over 47,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry. Israel denies accusations of genocide and war crimes, asserting its actions target Hamas militants.
The fragile ceasefire offers temporary respite, but the path to lasting security and stability remains uncertain.
