President Donald Trump said on Tuesday at a gathering with King Abdullah II of Jordan that he intended not to "buy" the Gaza Strip but to "have" it, and that any of the inhabitants would be resettled to Jordan. Abdullah announced an alternate plan for arabian leaders, but promised to welcome 2,000 sick children from Gaza.
– There's nothing to buy. This is Gaza, this is simply a war area. We're gonna take him, we're gonna hold him, we're gonna caregiver him. said Trump at the beginning of the gathering with Abdullah II in the White home Oval Office.
Trump one more time assured that his plan to annex the territory and resettle nearly 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip was very supportive, he besides dispelled concerns about the opposition of residents, accusations of cultural cleansing planning or possible destabilisation of the region.
– We'll decision them to a beautiful place where they'll have fresh homes where they can live safely, where they'll have doctors and medical care and all that stuff. And I think it's gonna be great. said the president of the United States.
When asked about the assessment of these statements, the king of Jordan consistently refused to answer directly, announcing that he was going to present with Egypt and another arabian countries a different plan for the future of Gaza soon. Indago on the anticipation of making the "land parcel" available to Palestinians, he replied that he had to take care of his own country's interests. However, he promised to welcome 2,000 Palestinian children with cancer and another diseases and announced that he would work with another countries, including Europe, to look after further children from Gaza. Trump expressed surprise at Abdullah's declaration concerning children, claiming it was “music for his ears”.
W Jordan already has millions of refugees from Palestine and their descendants, and, according to the fresh York Times, the adoption of a wave of fresh refugees could undermine the stableness of the state and lead to the overthrow of the king. Despite this, Trump stated that he felt Jordan would supply the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip with a place to live and that he was 99 percent certain Egypt would do so, even though the authorities of the country rejected his proposal.
Trump besides reiterated his ultimatum at Hamas, threatening that if by Saturday they would not release all the hostages “the hell will break loose”. He besides speculated that Hamas had deferred the planned release of the prisoners due to the fact that they were in dire condition. He compared those released during the last circular of prisoner exchange to those who survived the Holocaust.
Nor did the president of the United States clearly answer the question whether he could warrant that Israel was not annexing the West Bank of Jordan. He simply replied that "this will work very well" and the situation would be resolved "automatically". However, he did not find what he meant by that.
Abdullah II is the 3rd leader adopted by Trump in the White home in his second word and the first leader of the arabian state to whom he has spoken since the announcements of the 'take-up' of the Gaza Strip.
