US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a call with Jordan’s King Abdullah, the State Department said, with the call coming two days after a suggestion by President Donald Trump that Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from Gaza, according to Reuters.
“The Secretary and King Abdullah discussed implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, the release of hostages, and creating a pathway for security and stability in the region,” the State Department said in a statement. Trump’s weekend remarks were not mentioned in the statement.
