WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a call Monday with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, the State Department says, with the call coming two days after a suggestion by President Donald Trump that Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from Gaza.
“The secretary and King Abdullah discussed implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, the release of hostages, and creating a pathway for security and stability in the region,” the State Department says in a statement. Trump’s weekend remarks are not mentioned in the statement.
