Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman received on Wednesday a phone call from King Abdullah II of Jordan.

During the call, the two leaders discussed regional developments and exchanged views on the latest developments and efforts being made to address them so as to achieve security and stability.

King Abdullah welcomed the consistent and supportive positions taken by Saudi Arabia with regard to the rights of the Palestinian people.

King rejects any attempts to displace Palestinians

In a related development, King Abdullah said on Wednesday he rejected any attempts to annex land and displace Palestinians. "His Majesty King Abdullah II stresses the need to put a stop to Israeli settlement expansion, expressing rejection of any attempts to annex land and displace the Palestinians," the Jordanian royal court said in a post on X platform.

The King’s remarks came after U.S. President Trump said on Tuesday the United States would take over Gaza after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere and develop it economically, an idea that elicited widespread international condemnation.

While receiving Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, King Abdullah affirmed full Jordanian support for the Palestinians.
