In their first encounter since the US president suggested that the people of Gaza be relocated to Jordan, King Abdullah of Jordan is anticipated to fiercely oppose Donald Trump at the White House today.
Jordan, a crucial partner of the United States, has been balancing its diplomatic and military relations with domestic support for the Palestinians.
Trump’s ideas for the peace in Gaza are straining those fault lines, which were already put to the test during the war.
Expanding on his call for the relocation of Gazans to Jordan and Egypt, he told a news host that they would not be allowed to return home, a proposal that would be illegal under international law if implemented.
