Jordan and Egypt reject Palestinians displacement and Trump’s plan
King Abdullah of Jordan has rejected Donald Trump's plan to resettle Palestinians in the kingdom as part of a plan to 'take over Gaza' and begin a massive redevelopment of the enclave.

Human rights groups argue that such forced displacement from Gaza would amount to ethnic cleansing. To discuss the challenges ahead for Jordan and Egypt, we are joined by the Senior Middle East Research Fellow at Chatham House.

An asteroid that measures up to 300 feet across could smack into Earth in 2032, and while NASA says the chances of a collision are “extremely low,” the probability has been increasing since the space rock was discovered weeks ago.
