9:00 pm
tells the people that there was an upper. busy where they saw the people from yesterday. so these people are, so i don't want to do too. and then we do another 2 and another week, and then we do 4 and 3 weeks. now say you have a mouse by saturday at 12 o'clock, or full bets are off or would you still consider withholding age of those countries if they don't accept your plan to accept to say that because we've had such a good relationship and we were doing so well, just in the short time that we've been talking, i mean the king just made a statement. i didn't ask him to do this about literally saving 2000 young children from the gaza strip. we didn't know about that. you didn't know about that and nobody did except for the king and his son. i assume he told your son. right. and i just thought it was great. now i think we'll do something i have that threatened with money we do. we contribute
9:01 pm
a lot of money to georgia had to egypt by the way, a lot develop. but i don't have to threaten that. i don't think, i think we're above that. i do believe we're about this sort of the other places. yeah. and we have other countries that want to get involved. we have a lot of people are wondering if there's a great sense of wanting to help the palestinians. they really, there's a lot of good countries that the people that roll those countries with big hearts at this gentleman is at the top. i don't want to leave how you can afford oh, they're going to be. they're going to be very happy wouldn't be part of the response will be from the multitude of countries our, the international. i know that you can and wants to step in. and again,
9:02 pm
it will probably have to look to the health of the united states to make sure that the co god, which is the cleaning agency on these very side, makes us as efficient as possible. because 2000 k is the best way to get to the best buy headquarters and get them straight to our institutions. i also believe that quite a few countries would also probably like to take some of those kids that have been treated in now. so yes, and that's right, they should have been done by the, by the administration. but you know, they didn't do anything. they didn't know what they were doing. so they should have it done by the, by the administration. this should have never happened because act over 7th would have never happened. if our president 0 chance of happened and you wouldn't have had that whole mess with the middle east got blown up. and you wouldn't have had ukraine and russia fighting that would have never happened. and by the way, we're making good progress there. i think i really think we're making some very good progress would buy. and today you just said, we're not going to buy god is not going to have to buy have guys that we don't have
9:03 pm
to buy it. there's nothing divide. we will have no reason to buy. there is nothing to buy, it's guys. it says, it's a war torn area, we're going to take it. we're going to hold it, we're going to cherish it. we're going to get it going eventually, where a lot of jobs are going to be created for the people in the middle east. it's. it's got to be for the people in the middle east, but i think it can be a dime and it can be an absolute tremendous asset for the middle east. and you're gonna have peace. it's going to bring peace in the middle. east gods are the way it is right now. every 10 years you're gonna have the same thing happening. i've watched it so long for the death and destruction of guys that civilization has been wiped out. and you guys know it's going to be a tremendous thing. is it's frontier going to see it's going to be a great economic development javascript quick people to work. a lot of people to work at those people are all going to be from the release and the follow up with
9:04 pm
one on that for king of the can you clarify against or how do you feel about the us taking guys as the president? again, this is something that we will be coming to to the united states with somebody that would like to talk about later up to discuss. so these options in terms of us i've had a great career in real estate. you know, when you've done what i've done in the last number of years, including the 4 years that we should have been doing something else, frankly, because people see that for sure. but when you've done what i've done, you can just do more good for people. when you're president, when you're president, we can do things is this is all things that should have been done, but actually things that shouldn't have had to be done. a guys absolutely would've
9:05 pm
been it would have been so great, a divided ministration would have sort of this. but actually in all fairness to them, they was they should have never let it happen. it did happen. and because of the fact that they let this happen, this catastrophe of october 7th, something like this becomes practical and very real meaning to develop and, and then all of the things that i've talked about with respect to the guys a strip. if you didn't have the october 7th catastrophe and it was a horrible catastrophe, then probably you wouldn't be talking about that. but the, the only thing i can say is, this is going to bring stability and peace to the middle east. and ultimately, when it's developed, which will be in quite a while from now, this one of the things come down. but when it's developed, it's going to bring tremendous numbers of jobs to the middle east and including the people the of that's just the piece to the middle east. there are even though you
9:06 pm
say that everything is going to be beautiful, everything is gonna be lovely. they're not going to want to go back there, but if the people want to go back and feel like it is the right to do that, you haven't said will there be any type of repercussions or anything that we don't think that's going to happen. we think it's going to be the people are going to be very happy. thrilled a lot of those people that you're talking about. i'm going to end up maybe living there and maybe work in there, but it will be in a different form. we have had tremendous support for this project, and we think that the biggest asset of the project is going to bring peace ultimately to the middle east. the behind us one on the campaign here in the united states. what do you say? well, you know, if you look at a michigan where we have a large area of population,
9:07 pm
as you know, i was just telling the key that we won as you know, i want the population. now when i started off, i was late and when i finished a few months later, we started campaigning in michigan. and when i finished, we wanted to buy a tremendous amount by 30 points. so my relationship with the era population has been fantastic and, and my relationship with the middle east is very good, very good with all the countries, just about all of us. actually, let's say i would say all the countries and they all want to do something and they want to see peace in the middle east. so all the stores you hear about the middle east, not really wanting peace that they want war. they want this, they want to go a certain place. let me tell you, the stories are false. they want to have peace. i know i'm older and well they want to have peace. they want to have a good life, like other people and will bring this will be a big factor in bringing peace to the middle east. thank you very much of the,
9:08 pm
the. okay, so there you have a donald trump meeting with the king of jordan king on the law who is currently at the white house. as you can see, these comments being made just a little earlier on. here's what trump has to say, how the simians will live safely in another location. that is not god. so according to president trumpet, he says that he thinks there will be parcels of land in jordan. and egypt were, palestinians will live according to him and king of the in response that say that airbus will come to the united states with a response to trump's guys. apply that plan, of course is to expel palestinians from gaza. jordan's king also saying that he was asked about taking in palestinians as president trump has been suggesting over the past week or so. a king of the said that we have to keep in mind how do we make this work that isn't everyone's best interest once again,
9:09 pm
trump doubling down on his plan saying we're going to take gaza, but we will run. it's very properly, but we're not going to bias. he also says he was asked about the ceasefire currently in place and gaza. he said that he does nothing come us will make the saturday deadline for the release of the hostages from gaza. and he said that in response of hum us, how must must have all hostages out by saturday or according to him, all bets are off. and one final thing on the occupied westbank trump sides. he was asked rather about is really onyx ation of the occupied westbank saying that's going to work out according to him. alan fisher standing before by for us joining us from just outside the white house. so alan, a lot of comments made in the past 15 minutes or so by president trump, and he was really a doubling down on the us taking you over guys on the palestinians leaving and
9:10 pm
that was a fairly fair somebody of what he said during. but let's think about what was said in all of that. he talked about how the people and guys have been living in hell, and many of the been dying every day. what he didn't say, of course, was the reason for that was the war that was launched by these really is more than 50 months ago and has continued and cost the lives of more than 40000 of those in the gaza strip. and we're also wasn't said was by king of deluxe, he didn't say the comes plans, a great plan. this is something that we can work on. what he did see is that out of countries being led by egypt, in this case, a going to come forward with a plan and they will work with the united states. they didn't say they would accept what the united states would say. a king of dula is very smart and very savvy and he knew he was not going to get on well, if he suddenly student front a r, sat beside the view as president, i criticized his plan. he knows that would never work. he knows that donald trump
9:11 pm
is driven by ego to some extent. and so what was not said was, was interesting as well. what is clear is that donald trump believes that somehow this is a real estate deal that the idea of a 2 state solution no longer exists. that he feels that gaza is probably unrealistic to be developed. the international developers will come in and do that and change the face of what many people have for centuries called home. and he believes that if you give the palestinians a few homes, a few jobs and a few offices, then they won't give up. is that what data god does their best, right? kalonde and guys. so while it may seem in donald trump squads, this is something very easy that can be fixed. you're talking about centuries of heritage here and it wouldn't easily be fixed that i think king abdulla sitting next to donald trump is a weight of that. they will bring forward
9:12 pm
a plan and look for us to for one other thing. what donald trump said that had been a lot of support for his plan. he didn't say we have that support to come from because there's been overwhelming international criticism of what donald trump is suggesting here. and alan, just on the point that he made about the ceasefire in gaza, saying that if all hostages are not, are not out by saturday, then quote all bets are off. what do we read into that said when he's talking about that, the captives here that are in israel and gaza, excuse me, any clarity on whether he's referring to all the hostages that are currently in gaza or, or the 3 that were supposed to release to be released on saturday, but and as always with donald trump, there is a great deal of clarity. he speaks and very broad brush strokes. what is interesting is that on monday he was sick, it was his idea that if, if it was him, if the, the kept those when released by 12 o'clock on saturday, then that would be house to pay. and benjamin netanyahu highs in the last few hours,
9:13 pm
said that the hostages, the captives must be released by 12 o'clock on saturday. that's essentially because he knows he is donald trump support for this. and there are many in the middle east who would suggest the benjamin netanyahu is being hoping that somehow he could force i'm us not to follow through that for he could start moving forward with his plans and guys and continue effectively to try and push more. and more at people in guys, a more and more palestinians. i use a video, it's all very complex. it's, it's hard not to, to, to go into a great deal of detail here. but donald trump paints these broad, russ stokes, and hopes you will take out of it what you will. it also means that people will take care of it what they want. and in this case, it seems that he is saying, there will be all hell to pay quite what role the us would play and not isn't entirely clear. other thing given benjamin netanyahu a green light to do whatever he wants to do in the gaza strip. what about
9:14 pm
the occupied westbank because he was asked about that as well, allen, and here's what he said. he said quote, that's going to work out when reporters ask them about is really onyx ation of the occupied westbank. what are we to read into those comments? hello. all right, can i tell you the i got a text during the that the, as it was being played out, and i'll just do that from someone who is an expert in the middle east. and they said, when donald trump mean comment, tell me you don't know what's happening in the west bank without seeing it. he felt that donald trump wasn't fully informed about what was being proposed for the way spike. he said he talked about it, but it wasn't entirely clear exactly what was going on there. of course, the idea is that the israelis will onyx the west bank. he, in an interview, donald trump, in an interview with time magazine at the end of last year said that the, the might not be a 2 state solution in the middle east. and what is interesting is that his pick for
9:15 pm
you in a buster, at least the find out when she was going through a confirmation community. she was asked specifically, do you agree with the comments of smoke which other far right, is really politicians, is that israel has a quote biblical right? a to the way spike, to which she replied very simply, yes. and at the time we flag that off without disease, suggesting that that may be an indication that there is a change in policy, a change in us government policy about their position on the west spike. and the donald trump. me, well, support is really onyx ation of the way spike given. he said that is all going to work. i didn't say that he was against that exception. it leaves a lot more questions than answers. but it certainly suggests either donald trump is aware of what is going on in the way spike, or what adversity is really is want to do in the west bank. donald trump will give them a green light. okay, i'll and thank you so much for that. alan fish a reporting for us from just outside the white house will cross over to the middle
9:16 pm
east. i'm to, i'm on bringing home the central it's a honda you are joining us from jordan because the is really government in the palestinian authority have bound delta 0 from reporting in israel as well as from the occupied west bank. but we do want to talk about jordan and the trip of king of deluxe. currently at the white house, we were just listening to him and president trump speak. what do you make off of the tone that he was striking? well, look, good. certainly going to be a tense meeting after the 2 had sat down in the oval office and taken questions from press both the american and the jordanian press corps. and if you'll recall there, there was a reporter who as donald trump, that this is this ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people. the people in the middle east are calling about that they are against it. and he of course, deflected those questions by saying what he's been saying this entire time that the palestinians are going to quote, love,
9:17 pm
where they're going to live without acknowledging whatsoever the palestinians are tied to their land. but this is a conflict that is tied to the land. it's not a religious holy war. it's about the land that was occupied by is really forces several decades ago. but it's interesting that king of the didn't exactly gave it his direct response like he has been over the last several weeks. because as we heard by our colleague alan fisher at the white house, who knows, it wouldn't be wise to do that in front of donald trump in front of the cameras. but the position of jordan has been quite clear that danza is going to remain palestinian land. the palestinians are not going to leave there. of course he did say that jordan would receive up to 2000 and children for medical evacuations. those who are unable to receive cancer treatment and any other life saving care. and that's because the health system in gaza has been decimated and completely destroyed by is really attacks over the 15 months of fighting. and there was also no sort of reference as to why gaza has become an area of rubble ruins that
9:18 pm
president trump describes as hell. that's because of his really bombardment that was assisted with american weapons over the 15 month conflict, which here in jordan, you have to remember that this is a society that is incredibly pro palestinian and pro the palestinian cause and rejects any sort of notion to displace palestinians off of their land as they have been over the last century. so while this meeting is going to happen behind closed doors, it's going to be interesting to see what happens next to because in the last several hours, there been addiction officials speaking anonymously. after the king had arrived to washington to the united states for his trip, they said that egypt flat out rejects any sort of notion of displacing the palestinian people and ethnically cleansed in gaza. and that they are willing to give up any sort of aid as a result that they get from the americans. but in jordan, it's a little bit of a different story because this 8 is sort of a lifeline for jordan's economy and the country as
9:19 pm
a whole. it is 40 percent of what jordan receives internationally from foreign countries and it makes up the vast majority of it. so it's going to be interesting to see what happens in the coming hours. that, of course, we also heard from king abdullah, that he is going to be meeting with the crown prince of saudi arabia and had been sent a man who's also been speaking out about trump's plan denouncing anything that has to do with displacing palestinians. yeah, so from the jordan's king, i was asked about taking in palestinians, and this is what he said when he said we have to keep in mind how do we make this work and that is in everyone's best interest. you touched upon this a little bit, but when you look at jordan's interest in this, i mean, did you were damian's are walking and very tight rope here, aren't they? what challenges had been posed as a result of donald trump's plan as well? i think those challenges are yet to be seen. it's going to be
9:20 pm
a challenge if that aid is cut off. certainly because as we've been reporting, it's a lifeline for jordan itself. but donald trump refused to answer. if that was going to happen, he refused to answer if he was going to cut off aid to egypt as well. these are countries that rely heavily on the support from the united states government. and if that aid was cut off, what would that look like for jordan? what would it look like for egypt? is the american president essentially going to give them an ultimatum? that would leave them with no choice. but you also have to remember that it would cause a lot of civil unrest in these countries if their leaders decided that they were going to go along with this plan that is so wildly unpopular in this region that's been denounced by country after country by leader after leader, and by almost every single person on the streets of these countries in the middle east. so there's a lot at stake here because it could ignite further tensions in the region. it could ignite more wars. president trump was talking about wanting to make peace in
9:21 pm
the middle east, but all this would do if you ethnically cleansed because if you displaced and expelled the palestinian people, it would cause much more conflict. and i also want to know that there was no sort of reference from donald trump, that the palestinian people are tied to the land. he simply thought. but if you put these people elsewhere, that they're going to have a slice of land from egypt and a slice of land from jordan. but these are countries who don't want to give up any of their lands either and have been quite vocal about their opposition to this plan . but the united states president is looking at the middle east as a real estate deal, talking about turning the gaza strip into a riviera of the middle east. but 1st he wants to expel the palestinians into countries who said they are against this policy. so if there's going to be a lot that's going to unfold within the next couple of weeks, however, we're also on the heels of a lot of uncertainty within israel itself, with the potential restarting of the war. all eyes are going to be on saturday, right? there's now been an ultimatum that's been issued by these really premier that was 1st issued by donald trump. so we're going to have to wait and see what happens on
9:22 pm
saturday. i have the exactly on that points done by for just a moment because alan was mentioning earlier that israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has warned that the cease fire will end it from us and is not released kept as by saturday. and he says, the middle tree as hemmed up was just saying will resume fighting until the group is defeated. listen or no, the other come us a last look. if a mazda has not returned our hostages by saturday noon, the ceasefire will end in the military will return to intense fighting until a mazda is finally defeated. so, how, and what do we make of these comments? and what sort of scenarios are, is really, is as really officials preparing for well, they're preparing for a return to full scale war. and we've read this from these really military yesterday and right from the horses. now the defense minister, who said that israel is now bringing and reinforcements, they are raising their alert level to the highest possible level of readiness. and
9:23 pm
that includes calling up. reserve is once again to go into those areas around. the goal is the border for potential return to full scale fighting. you have members of the far right who are saying, quote, now is the time to unleash the gates of hell on guns up to hit it with what they're calling complete firestorm. but it's a little bit difficult to comprehend that after what we've seen in the 15 months of intense fighting, we're most of the gaza strip has been reduced to rubble and nearly 50000 people were killed in the process. so benjamin netanyahu was issuing this ultimatum, but we also have to mention that there have been some is really officials speaking anonymously to is really media saying that it's true. israel did in fact violate the terms of the agreement by not allowing that humanitarian aid that was agreed upon. this is the whole reason why i'm asked said they're going to stop releasing the captives indefinitely until israel a polls. it's end of the deal. so mediators are scrambling behind the scenes, trying to see what exactly they're going to do, because now there's the type deadline of just
9:24 pm
a few days before full scale war can erupt again, which would be completely catastrophic. for the goal is this trip, as hundreds of thousands of palestinians have returned to areas. but they haven't been able to go to for many, many months for more than a year in fact. and if these places are going to be attacked by these really army, the casualties are going to be so severe on the palestinian side, the amount of death and destruction that we've seen is already insurmountable. and it's hard to imagine going back to that fighting after there's been a ceasefire for several weeks now. but look, all will be revealed in the next couple of days as these really have visited this ultimate. and we haven't yet heard a response from us, but it's still really going to be a waiting game now for the next couple days. okay, honda, thank you so much for that reporting from my mind. jordan will not speak to not be a who do you, who's a former us diplomat, joining us from washington dc. mr. who do you welcome to alta 0 as a former us diplomats. what is your reaction to the comments that trump has just
9:25 pm
made? if we look at what he's saying about gaza 1st saying he thinks there will be parcels of land in jordan. and in egypt we're palestinians. we live in the us will be taking over gaza in the book. first of all, you cannot look for precision and donald trump's for announcements is not a pro, a precise person. he doesn't have precise wording. he had them both on and on, especially in long interviews like the one he gave to fox news 2 days ago. and it what has been evident from the beginning about this whole thing about taking over guys. we just take it, we'd buy it, we won't buy it. in the end of the day, the yellow, the on the ground is what donald trump has been doing from the beginning is giving a green light to israel to continue it's war. because he came in saying,
9:26 pm
i don't want to see this for continue. we want it to end, but uh, even though king abdullah did not really speak his mind in front of the drum. nothin. yeah. who was here earlier, and he spoke his mind right in front of donald trump and said the 3rd goal, you know, 3 goals. and the 3rd is the complete destruction of home us. which means that we are going to go back to or as soon as the exchange of hostages and present notice uh, is done. uh, and i think that's exactly what's going to happen in terms of donald trump's. uh, ownership of the interesting guys. um, he says no, no, no, we're not gonna buy it. there's nothing to buy. what do you want is to make money and not spend money in god. in other words, have gulf gone. 3 is going to be a money for the construction of gaza, which he would be, or he or
9:27 pm
a member of his family. right would be the contact of so they wouldn't bill. they would make money, the golf would pay and the palestinians would go whatever they can push them to little that slow, far on the the book publicly. jordan as well as egypt in fact, and other arab countries, have resisted strongly resisted trumps, planned for palestinians to leave uh or to be forcibly kicked out of gauze now. jordan's king abdullah during that press conference during these, the talk at the white house said that the arabs will be coming to the united states with a response to trump's does up plan. what do you expect these air countries to do next? and how far are they willing to go, particularly countries like jordan and egypt, who are big recipients of us for an aide who share security and defense agreements with the united states. or i think the lynch in the off and had
9:28 pm
a response. and what will happen here is solid. it'd be, haven't been said of mine is guarantee the strongest of leader. he takes initiatives he has limited resources. i think king of the law and probably egypt as was are hoping that the m b s. how about this of mine would back them up one way or another. so that is the out of just don't get their act together and the palestinians don't get that act together and speak with a unified voice and use out of resources to push back against what is being pushed against them. if they don't do that, then i think it's up to uh, salt embryo to organize is strong response. but if they don't do it, then uh is a is going to the launch is who are going to push that by the sinews,
9:29 pm
out of gaza, whether most of them end up in camps a new campaign grounds in the negative. uh those are uh some wouldn't be taken by egypt. some would it be taken by jordan, but not in enough numbers. in the end, you're looking at a reservation of swords for the palace. thing is much like happened to the native americans. the american indian is uh, you know, a couple of centuries ago. this is the idea that's what's in slower for the palestinians and less, and that it's not up to jordan and egypt to resist somebody stronger than them needs to back them up. so i am waiting to see what the solid, the response, and what solid the action will be in terms of unifying that i'm speaking with one voice and using the leverage otherwise is going to go the way be, be nothing. yeah, once i'm speaking of a it's and yahoo and what he wants when you looked at the situation and occupied
9:30 pm
westbank ends on plans many say to an extra occupied westbank by the as early as trump was asked about that. he said that is really artic station of the westbank quote that's going to work out. what does that mean in your opinion? and do you think that he is green lighting the annexation of the occupied westbank? i guess it doesn't mean anything because like i said at the beginning, there is no precision and what tom says is gonna work out. everybody's gonna be happy, they're gonna love one another. those are the sorts of phrases that he uses, and they mean nothing. he is just trying to say, don't worry, i'll take care of it. this will work out donald trump and, and people around to have more importantly because he goes with the majority of people around him. well are very right wing. they don't give a hoot for palestinian rights, they don't get a hold for the west bank. they've out and said that several of.
