In a meeting on February 11, 2025, President Trump pushed Jordan's King Abdullah to accept Palestinians from Gaza under a U.S. resettlement plan. Despite hosting 2 million Palestinians already, Jordan opposed due to stability concerns and Palestinian rights. Trump hinted at withholding aid but eased after Abdullah's limited compromise. The tensions highlight risks to Gaza ceasefire and the two-state solution.
King Abdullah II of Jordan firmly rejected President Trump's plan to relocate Gaza's population. Highlighting Jordan's commitment to a two-state solution, Abdullah opposed forced displacement while offering humanitarian aid for sick Palestinian children. The proposal led to regional tensions, protests, and international criticism, with UN's Guterres warning against ethnic cleansing.
