U.S. President Donald Trump urged Jordan’s King Abdullah to take in displaced Palestinians as part of his proposal for the U.S. to take control of Gaza, despite firm opposition from the Jordanian leader. Speaking at the White House, Trump defended his vision of transforming Gaza into a prosperous economic hub, calling it the "Riviera of the Middle East."
Trump’s proposal, which prevents Palestinians from returning to their homes, has sparked outrage in the Arab world. He suggested Jordan and Egypt would ultimately agree to house displaced residents, citing their reliance on U.S. aid. "I believe we'll have a parcel of land in Jordan and Egypt," Trump stated, dismissing claims that he was using financial assistance as leverage.
King Abdullah, standing firm, emphasized Jordan’s opposition to Palestinian displacement and stressed that rebuilding Gaza should be the priority. His comments reflected a unified Arab stance against forced relocation. Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi later reiterated that an Egypt-led Arab plan aims to rebuild Gaza without displacing its people.
Jordan, home to over 2 million Palestinian refugees, faces heightened pressure due to Trump’s 90-day aid freeze, affecting its $1.45 billion in annual U.S. assistance. While Jordan has agreed to treat 2,000 sick children from Gaza, it remains against any broader relocation efforts.
Trump’s plan has also complicated Israel’s fragile ceasefire with Hamas. Hamas recently halted hostage releases, accusing Israel of violating agreements. Trump warned that if Hamas fails to release all hostages by Saturday, "all bets are off," hinting at potential escalation.
A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 74% of Americans oppose the U.S. taking control of Gaza. Even among Republicans, opinions are divided, with 55% against and 43% in favor.
