Jordan says King Abdullah accepts Trump’s invite to White House on February 11
Jordan's King Abdullah II will meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House on February 11, 2025. This visit follows an invitation from President Trump amidst ongoing tensions regarding the Palestinian situation in Gaza. The meeting is expected to address recent suggestions by Trump concerning the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza to Jordan and Egypt.
President Trump's proposal has sparked controversy, being criticized as akin to ethnic cleansing, as it comes after prolonged Israeli bombardments have left many Gazans homeless. Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi quickly rejected the idea, emphasizing the country's steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians. This stance is particularly pertinent given that Jordan already hosts millions of Palestinians, highlighting the challenges and sensitivities surrounding any potential changes to the region's demographic composition.
