Jordanian King Abdullah II told President Trump on Tuesday that his nation will take in 2,000 sick children from the Gaza Strip — as Trump predicted that Jordan and Egypt would each set aside a “parcel of land” for Palestinians to live ahead of a US takeover of the enclave.

Trump, hosting his counterpart in the Oval Office, applauded the king’s plan to rehome about 0.1% of the roughly 2 million Palestinians in war-torn Gaza — as Egyptian and Jordanian leaders prepare for urgent talks in Saudi Arabia at the initiative of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Jordanian King Abdullah II offered Tuesday to take in 2,000 sick children from Gaza.

The president, 78, insisted he remains committed to American dominance of the coastal region, under a plan which he said had the approval of neighboring nations.

“One of the things that we can do right away is take 2,000 children that are either cancer children or in a very ill state to Jordan as quickly as possible,” the king said — one week after Trump shockingly said the US would secure Gaza and convert it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

Abdullah’s government previously rejected Trump’s plan to deport Gazans to his country and to Egypt, and the monarch said Tuesday that after taking in the children, he would “then wait for, I think, the Egyptians to present their plan on how we can work with the president.”

Cairo also has rejected Trump’s plan to empty Gaza’s population — with Trump saying many Palestinians wouldn’t want to ever return to their homeland — but the president has continued to demand that Israel’s Arab neighbors relent and go along with the plan.

Trump told Abdullah, 63, that “what you just said about the 2,000 is fantastic. It’s so beautiful. It’s music to my ears.”

The president also said he believes Amman and Cairo will set aside living space for Gaza refugees — saying he was “99%” certain they would do so.
President Trump said he continues to expect Jordan to take many more Gazans to clear the way for his plan for US ownership of the territory.

“We’re going to be able to work something out. And I know we’ll be able to work something also with, I believe, not 100%, but 99% we’re going to work out something with Egypt,” he said.

“It’s going to be where we ultimately choose as a group. And I believe we’ll have a parcel of land in Jordan. I believe we’ll have a parcel of land in Egypt.

We may have someplace else, but I think when we finish our talks, we’ll have a place where they’re going to live very happily and very safely,” he said.
Gaza “could be a diamond,” Trump added.

“It’s fronting on the sea. It’s going to be a great economic development job. It’s going to put people to work, a lot of people to work. And those people are all going to be from the Middle East,” he said.

Abdullah II said he would wait for an Egyptian counterproposal before commenting further on
Trump previously floated Israel handing over control of the region after clearing out the population and any remaining Hamas terrorists after 16 months of fighting, and he confirmed Tuesday that he believes the US would not have to pay for the territory.

“We’re not going to buy anything. We’re going to have it. We’re going to keep it,” Trump said in the Oval Office.

“And we’re going to make sure that there’s going to be peace and there’s not going to be any problem, and nobody’s going to question it.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been supportive of Trump’s vision for taking over Gaza.

Trump initially said last week he’d be willing to dispatch US troops to secure Gaza before later saying he would not, and has emphasized that he expects wealthy regional nations to put up funds for reconstruction.

After agreeing at the white house to take in 20,000 kids, he then got home and hopped on Twitter to spew this garbage. And you take that kind of a person serious?

Delulu lol. You steal people's homeland and say there will be peace. Even if it takes a million years, there will never be peace. Those people that are forced out will become freedom fighters against US/Israel

Jordan is taking the first 2,000, it's already unfolding, bro.

I was anticipating African leaders would run away with the title of undisputed royal spinelessness but the Arab leaders eventually took home the crown. How do you explain this?, this was excessively fast!. A few days ago, Arab leaders were belching out fire at Trump over his idea of relocating Palestinians. It was a mere bluster, all sizzle no steak. Their reputation went up as high as it quickly came crashing down.
Take a look at them, they looked like a drenched cuckold with hands on their crotches while Trump takes the lead like an Alpha. What in the name of seven hell are they thinking?.. Within a couple of hours, Trump recanted from " displacing Palestinians and taking over Gaza" to " relocating Palestinians and rebuilding Gaza". Such inconsistency is laced with an ulterior motive.
This is a potential repeat of Nakba, when hundreds of thousands fled or were driven from their homes before and during the war that followed the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
Many of those refugees ended up in Gaza, where they and their descendants make up three quarters of the population. Another 900,000 registered refugees live in the West Bank, while an estimated 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Israel recently withdrew its troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005, though it retained control of its shared border, airspace and shoreline, giving it effective control of the movement of people and goods.
This is going to happen again and all of these Arab leaders are not going to be able to do anything about it, not even Saudi Arabia who poses not only as being a weak leader but a pliable one at that. As soon as Trump was sworn in, the Saudi Prince pledged a $600billion worth of investment to Trump over the next four years.. Could such a country ever look Trump in the eyes?.
While the King of Jordan is still waiting for Cairo to make a decision, Cairo has presented a rebuilding plan without displacement to Trump, meanwhile, Trump was very confident that Cairo is going to 99% provide a space to accommodate the displaced Palestinians.
February 25, is the next Arab Summit, we look forward with keen interests what they come up with but personally, I'd take whatever they say as a mere political statement and I am predicting that Trump will tear the paper into shred and have them come around to sign on the paper prepared in the White House.

SalamRushdie:
Only Egypt matters in that plan from what I see , maybe Gaza should be allowed to be. Part of Egypt instead and guarantees from Egypt it would prevent attacks from Gaza to Isreal

Putindbutt:
All of them matters, they share borders with Gaza. In fact, Lebanon too matters.
