Jordan’s King Abdullah II is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on February 11, the Jordanian royal palace announced. The meeting comes amid heightened tensions following Trump’s recent suggestion that Palestinians from Gaza should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt.
According to the palace’s statement, the king received a formal invitation from Trump last week and will discuss key regional issues during his visit.
Trump’s comments, made last week, referred to Gaza as a “demolition site” after more than 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas, which has left much of the enclave’s 2.3 million residents displaced. His remarks sparked backlash, with critics condemning the suggestion as tantamount to ethnic cleansing.
Jordan has strongly opposed any forced displacement of Palestinians. Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi reaffirmed the country’s stance on January 26, declaring that Jordan’s position against Palestinian resettlement is “firm and unwavering.”
Jordan is already home to millions of Palestinians, and tens of thousands more reside in Egypt. Both countries, along with other Arab nations, have rejected any proposal that would see Palestinians from Gaza relocated outside their homeland.

I’m wondering ; Why are they being rejected by the countires that are the same crap as they are ??? Would one mafye group reject members of a other mafya group ?
I assume their oposition Is only to press out $$$$$ from Trump. He is travelling to the white house to hear the exact sum of cash he will be receiving for each Palestinian thug.
Big talker Trump just made every Palestinian on earth essentially an American citizen, cause if you can force others to take them them definitely you will take them yourself
