President Donald Trump is set to meet with King Abdullah II of Jordan on February 11, according to a White House and Jordanian government official.
The White House said the meeting was requested by King Abdullah.
Last month, Trump indicated that he had spoken with the King of Jordan about the potential construction of housing and the relocation of more than 1 million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries.
“I told him that I would like you to take more because I’m looking at all of Gaza right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.
However, a key group of Arab countries said they “firmly” reject any attempts to resettle or expel Palestinians from Gaza. The foreign ministers of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt issued a statement on Saturday, saying they hope to work with Trump toward a two-state solution in the Middle East.
