    President Donald Trump spoke with King Abdullah II of Jordan, discussing regional peace, security, and stability, and thanking him for his longstanding friendship. Later, Trump told reporters that he proposed to King Abdullah that Jordan and Egypt should accept more Palestinians from Gaza, as the area is in 'a real mess' and 'a demolition site.' He suggested relocating up to 1.5 million people from Gaza to neighboring countries, potentially to 'just clean out that whole thing and say, you know, it's over.' Trump plans to discuss this proposal with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi the following day, suggesting the relocation could be temporary or long-term. He expressed a desire to involve Arab nations in building housing in different locations for displaced Palestinians, where they can 'live in peace for a change.'
