JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet at the White House on Tuesday next week.

A meeting confirmed by the governments of each leader, will take place amid a six-week ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas militant group in Gaza.

"There will be one working meeting on February 4 and further details will be delivered soon," US officials said.

Previously Trump proposed to move Gazans. Trump believes Jordan and Egypt will support the proposal to relocate Palestinians in Gaza, although the two countries are crudely refusing to consider the move.

"They will. They will. They will. They will, okay? We do a lot for them, and they will," said President Trump.

Meanwhile, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordanian King Abdullah rejected any form of forced transfer of Palestinians, days after US President Donald Trump suggested that Arab countries accept Palestinians from the war-torn Gaza Strip.

"Regarding what is said about the transfer of Palestinians, it will never be tolerated or allowed because of its impact on Egypt's national security," President El-Sisi told a news conference on Wednesday, quoted by Al Jazeera.

"Deportation or transfer of Palestinians is an injustice we cannot do," he stressed.

Moments later, Jordanian King Abdullah II said Palestinians should stay on their land.
