00:00And of course, you're in the Jordanian capital, Amman, and Jordan is one of the countries
00:04that President Trump has suggested people from Gaza be resettled in.
00:09I mean, how did those comments go down in Jordan, do you think?
00:13I think that they were pretty unacceptable.
00:16Jordan already hosts an enormous Palestinian refugee population of Palestinians that were
00:23displaced both in 1948 and again in 1967.
00:28And while the Jordanian government has been extremely generous and accommodating to Palestinians
00:34living in Jordan, and also providing humanitarian relief to those in Gaza, I don't think that
00:41they have an issue, excuse me, an interest in hosting more refugees.
00:46They also have hosted refugees from Iraq and Syria as well.
00:50And so I think it's a non-starter here.
