Jordan's King Abdullah II has once again rejected any mass displacement of Palestinians after meeting with President Donald Trump, who has called for the Gaza Strip's roughly 2 million residents to be removed from the war-ravaged territory.

The U.S. president has repeatedly asked the two Mideast allies to take in two million Palestinians from Gaza. Both Egypt and Jordan have been trying to offer Mr. Trump help in other ways.

Trump will hold meetings and a cordial lunch for Abdullah as he tries to get his support for the glitzy redevelopment plan and perhaps even accept some of the Palestinians who would be displaced.
