Trump invites Jordan’s Abdullah to White House while pushing him to take in Gazans
[IsraelTimes] As US president repeatedly touts plan to ‘clean out’ Gaza, urges Jordan and Egypt to take in displaced Palestinians, kingdom has joined other Arab states in flatly rejecting idea

Jordan’s King Abdullah II has accepted an invitation to visit the White House and meet US President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
later this month, the Jordanian royal palace said on Sunday.

It will be their first in-person meeting since Trump returned to the White House and began floating the idea to "clean out" the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip and resettle Gazooks elsewhere, proposing Egypt and Jordan. Both states have flatly rejected any such proposal, as have others in the region, despite Trump’s insisting, "They will do it."

Trump said last week he had spoken with Abdullah, and had told the king, "I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people."

When asked if this was a temporary or long-term suggestion, Trump said: "Could be either."

"You’re talking about probably a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing. You know, over the centuries it’s had many, many conflicts, that site. And I don’t know, something has to happen," Trump said, in remarks to news hounds on Air Force One.

During meetings with European officials in Brussels on Wednesday, King Abdullah reiterated "Jordan’s unwavering opinion on the necessity of establishing Paleostinians on their land and gaining their legitimate rights, in accordance with the two-state solution."

Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi similarly said on Monday that "any discussion on an alternate homeland [for the Paleostinians]... is rejected."

On Saturday, top diplomats from Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
, and Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
rejected any forcible displacement of Paleostinians during a meeting in Cairo.

"We affirm our rejection of [any attempts] to compromise Paleostinians’ unalienable rights, whether through settlement activities, or evictions or annex of land or through vacating the land from its owners... in any form or under any circumstances or justifications," the countries said in a joint statement.

Trump on Saturday spoke with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi for the first time since making the controversial remarks.

Neither of the countries’ read-outs of the phone call made any mention of the matter, speaking only about the ceasefire-hostage release deal between Israel and the Hamas
..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
terror group, and the general goal of peace in the region.

HAMAS: JORDAN ’SOUGHT DEPORTATION’ OF AHLAM AL-TAMIMI
Separately, Hamas’s al-Aqsa TV reported on Sunday that Jordan had "sought the deportation" of infamous Paleostinian terrorist Ahlam al-Tamimi.
…she and her cousin-husband Nazir al-Tamimi are members of the infamous al-Tamimi clan from the village of Nabi Salih near Ramallah in the West Bank that has for several generations waged war, both kinetic and propaganda as opportunity and individual temperament require, against Israel’s Jews. Dear Ahlam regularly worked as a scout and escape driver for Hamas, then moved in front of a TV camera to report on the exciting events she had just been involved in. Possibly Nizar is also a Hamasnik, but other relatives belong to Fatah or the PLO in general, so there are lots of possibilities. Nizar was deported to Qatar the last time Donald Trump was president…
The short message on Telegram, citing "sources," did not include any further information.

Advocates for terror victims’ rights have long sought Tamimi’s extradition from Jordan to the United States for her role in the murder of two US citizens in the 2001 suicide kaboom of the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem, which killed 16 Israeli civilians, including seven children and a pregnant woman.

She has been living in Jordan since her release from Israeli prison in 2011, when she was among the 1,027 prisoners released in exchange for the release by Hamas of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

In 2022, Interpol dropped a warrant for Tamimi’s arrest, but the US still offers a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to her arrest or conviction.

Jordan reportedly warns it could extradite Sbarro bombing mastermind to US for trial
[IsraelTimes] In reversal, Amman said to give Hamas one day to find Ahlam Tamimi another home or it will send her stateside, where she is wanted over 2001 attack that killed 16, including 2 Americans.
