President Donald Trump is hosting Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the White House on Tuesday as he escalates pressure on the Arab nation to take in refugees from Gaza — perhaps permanently — as part of his audacious plan to remake the Middle East.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II offered, after meeting with Trump, to take in thousands of Palestinian children from Gaza.

The visit is happening at a perilous moment for the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza. Hamas, accusing Israel of violating the truce, has said it is pausing future releases of hostages and Trump has called for Israel to resume fighting if all those remaining in captivity are not freed by this weekend.
