King Abdullah to meet with Trump at the White House

(MENAFN) On Sunday, it was announced that Jordan’s King Abdullah II will visit the United States to meet with President Donald trump at the White House on February 11. The royal court stated that the visit comes at the invitation of the US president, though it provided no additional details regarding the discussions expected to take place.

The timing of King Abdullah’s visit follows comments made by Trump the previous weekend, where he suggested that Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt. Trump described Gaza as a "demolition site" after Israel’s recent war. This proposal was quickly rejected by both Jordan and Egypt, who firmly opposed the idea of displacing Palestinians from Gaza.

At a six-nation Arab ministerial meeting in Cairo on Saturday, the Arab nations strongly rejected the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and reiterated their calls for the implementation of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The meeting highlighted the need for a resolution to the ongoing tensions in the region.

Last week, King Abdullah spoke with President Trump by phone, during which he emphasized the crucial role of the US in ensuring peace and stability throughout the Middle East. The call reaffirmed Jordan’s commitment to collaborating with the United States on regional security and diplomatic efforts.
