Jordan’s King Abdullah II said he reiterated Tuesday during a meeting with President Donald Trump his country and the region's "steadfast opposition" to the president's plan to resettle millions of Palestinians out of Gaza.

Already unlikely, the prospects for creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel could vanish altogether if the United States takes over Gaza and displaces the population, as President Trump proposes.

The push by Trump has turbocharged a reckoning over Jordan’s reliance on U.S. aid and revived existential questions over the country’s identity.
