Former US President Donald Trump has warned that he could halt aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refuse to accept displaced Palestinians. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump responded to a question on the matter, saying, “Yes. Why not? If they do not accept the Palestinians, I would probably cut off aid.”
Trump has repeatedly pushed for the relocation of Gazans to neighboring countries, stating that Gaza is beyond repair and proposing alternative housing in other regions. His plan, which has been rejected by Jordan, Egypt, and Arab nations, has drawn widespread criticism. Despite opposition, Trump continues to advocate for resettlement, insisting that Palestinians should not return to Gaza.
