Khirbet Samra is among the last Palestinian Bedouin communities in the West Bank’s eastern flank. State-backed settlers are driving them out.
The leaders of Gulf Arab states are expected to strategize with their Egyptian and Jordanian counterparts Friday in an effort to counter President Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to redevelop the Gaza Strip. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/21/world/arab-states-trump-gaza-plan-counter/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #israelhamaswar #donaldtrump #gaza #palestinians #egypt #jordan #saudiarabia #qatar #unitedarabemirates
"What we just saw, that wasn't diplomacy. That was a live-streamed humiliation. There sat King Abdullah of Jordan - stiff, blinking like a man who had just walked into an ambush.
For decades Arab regimes have survived by silencing dissent, by crushing revolts, by bribing their people into submission. But there is no price that can be paid, no force that can be summoned, to suppress the explosion that would come from a second Nakba." - Soumaya Ghannoushi, British Tunisian Middle East analyst

U.S. President Donald Trump backed off his threat to withhold aid for Jordan after King Abdullah II agreed during a White House meeting to accept 2,000 ill children from Gaza. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/12/world/politics/trump-aid-jordan-gaza-children/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #donaldtrump #us #jordan #kingabdullahii #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas
#Trump had threatened to "conceivably" withhold aid from #Jordan and #Egypt if the two Arab states did not comply with his controversial proposal, which has since sparked outrage among Palestinians and Arab countries in the region.

King Abdullah has said he rejected any moves to annex land and displace #Palestinians.
“The masks are off. Trump and Israel have turned the planet into real estate”
by Hamid Dabashi in Middle East Eye
“Trump’s idea of expelling Palestinians from Gaza and conquering their homeland for Israel is the most revolutionary idea of all time. He is just too stupid to understand what he is suggesting”
…#SaudiArabia has flatly rejected #Trump's #Gaza plan, as have many world leaders.
#Jordan's King Abdullah plans to tell Trump during their planned February 11 meeting in Washington that the proposal is a recipe for #radicalism that will spread #chaos through the #MiddleEast ‘ jeopardize the kingdom's peace with #Israel….
Earlier Sun, #Israel President Isaac Herzog said #Trump was set to meet w/ #Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el #Sisi & possibly #SaudiArabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman #MBS….
The comments, delivered in an interview w/ #FauxNews, came in response to a question about Trump's recent proposal to take over & develop #Gaza.
Herzog did not say when or where the meetings would take place, nor did he discuss their potential content. He also noted Trump is due to meet w/ #Jordan's King Abdullah….
#Liberals only register the pretend empathetic speech and don't direct to actual actions. Same with #Trump, who says bad things, & liberals go: "See, It's happening! I bet you wished to have voted for #KamalaHarris now, huh?"
Even if #DonaldTrump does it, which he won't as #Egypt, #Jordan & #SaudiArabia won't allow it & make sure, do you c***ts know how you got #America to this point?
‘Worst nightmare’: Egypt and Jordan put in impossible bind by Trump Gaza plan | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian

Trump has been meeting with wanted was criminal Netanyahu this week, after these me we meetings Trump unexpectedly suggested the idea of deploying US troops to Gaza to directly assist Israel in displacing Palestinians into neighboring countries.
This idea has been widely condemned by Arab countries and even Israel is beginning to down play as pledges mount from Jordan to join the war if the US becomes involved in the ground.
@TucsonSentinel Any ethnic cleansing #Trump intends to do in #Gaza he will need to do forcibly because Palestinians are not going to voluntarily exile themselves into #Egypt or #jordan
Also note that both Trump and #Netanyahu are silent on the possibility of the Gaza Palestinians being removed into #Israel proper, something that accords with their racist and primitive views of nationhood.
