“President Trump said on Monday that he could cut aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refused his demand to permanently take in most Palestinians from Gaza, substantially increasing the pressure on key allies in the region to back his audacious proposal to relocate the entire population of the territory in order to redevelop it,” the New York Times reports.
Said Trump: “If they don’t agree, I would conceivably withhold aid.”
“Both Jordan and Egypt have rejected any suggestion that Palestinians be relocated to their countries.”
