Trump Pressures Jordan and Egypt on Gaza Resettlement Plans

In a series of high-stakes discussions, President Trump is intensifying pressure on Jordan and Egypt regarding his controversial Gaza resettlement plan. During an impending meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Trump has suggested he may cut U.S. aid if both countries refuse to accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza. This proposal has sparked concern in Jordan, which is home to millions of Palestinians and fears that accepting displaced Gazans could exacerbate tensions and destabilize the region. As King Abdullah prepares for his visit to Washington, he is confronted with a delicate balancing act, trying to resist U.S. pressure while addressing the potential implications for Jordanian security and the ongoing Palestinian conflict. Meanwhile, Egypt is also facing its own diplomatic challenges, with threats to reconsider its peace agreement with Israel should U.S. aid be compromised. The backdrop of these discussions highlights the escalating tensions surrounding Gaza and the complexities of Middle Eastern geopolitics.
