Trump says he could halt aid to Jordan, Egypt if they don’t take Gazans
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSpeaking to reporters in the Oval Office, US President Donald Trump says he could “conceivably” withhold aid to Jordan and Egypt if they don’t take Palestinian refugees he envisions being relocated from Gaza.
The threat comes after Egypt rejected earlier Monday “any compromise” that would infringe on Palestinians’ rights, in a statement issued after Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with his US counterpart in Washington.
Jordan has similarly rejected the proposal.
A freeze on aid to either country could imperil US-brokered peace agreements with Israel.
