AI Summary:
Jordan’s King Abdullah II has become the first Arab leader to meet Donald Trump in the White House since the United States president’s second term began on January 20. Jordan and the US have historically had strong ties, but Trump has repeatedly pressured Abdullaha and his government to accept displaced Palestinians from war-torn Gaza. The US, meanwhile, has said it would “take over” and “own” a Gaza emptied of its residents. Israel has already killed more than 61,700 Palestinians since 2023. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has since echoed Trump’s threats. He warned that his military would recommence its bombing campaign in Gaza. Abdullah said he would do what was best for his country. He said Arab states would come up with their own plan for Gaza. Some observers believe Trump’s Gaza plan is a negotiating tactic. Trump described Gaza as potentially becoming a “diamond” in the Middle East. Critics say his vision for Gaza seems divorced from the politics of the region. On Tuesday, Trump once again emphasised that Palestinians would not want to stay in Gaza, seemingly ignoring their attachment to their land.
