JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump met with Jordanian King Abdullah amid Trump's ideas on rebuilding Gaza and threats to cut aid to the US allied Arab state if the country refuses to re-immate Palestinians.
Trump's proposal, submitted last week, for the US to take over Gaza, move its shaken population and turn war-torn territory into a Central East Riviera from the Arab world.
The concept has created new complexities in sensitive regional dynamics, including a fragile ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Hamas on Monday said they would stop releasing Israeli hostages from Gaza until further notice. Hamas said Israel violated the agreement to end the attack that had hit Gaza.
Trump then proposed a ceasefire cancellation if Hamas did not release all remaining hostages on October 7, 2023, by the weekend.
King Abdullah said he rejected any actions to annex land and displace Palestinians.
As reported by Reuters on Tuesday, February 11, King Abdullah is expected to tell Trump the move could trigger radicalism, spread chaos in the region, jeopardize peace with Israel and threaten the country's survival.
Meanwhile, Trump has changed some aspects of his initial proposal and doubled other aspects.
He has expressed his patience with Arab leaders who think the idea cannot be carried out.
"I think he will accept" refugees, Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday in front of King Abdullah.
When asked if he would hold back aid from Jordan and Egypt if they refused, Trump said: "Yes, maybe, of course, why not if they disagree, I might hold back help."
