After King Abdullah II of Jordan left the White House on Tuesday with the impression he was open to President Donald Trump’s idea to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians, the king took to X to say he had instead categorically rejected the idea in private with Trump.

“I reiterated Jordan’s steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank,” Abdullah wrote. “This is the unified Arab position. Rebuilding Gaza without displacing the Palestinians and addressing the dire humanitarian situation should be the priority for all.”

Trump said in the Oval Office before the private meeting that other countries, like Indonesia, might take Palestinians in. “There’s a lot of countries with big hearts, and this gentleman is at the top of the list,” he said pointing at Abdullah, not knowing what he was about to hear.

How about America take them in? Oh that's right... Heartless.

There's also the times they tried to overthrow the governments of the places that took them in, one of which was Jordan fyi
