In a controversial move, Donald Trump has reiterated his intention for the U.S. to assume control over Gaza and permanently relocate its residents. This stance, proclaimed during a meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah, has sparked widespread condemnation from Washington's Arab allies, Jordan included.
King Abdullah, without openly opposing or supporting the plan, highlighted the potential threats such a move poses, including the spread of radicalism and regional chaos. The king indicated that Arab nations will present counterproposals to ensure broader regional stability.
