With the new US Secretary of State Marco Rubio embarking on his first tour of the Middle East, it is imperative for both America and the region to act quickly, and wisely, to benefit from recent developments. The administration's proposal to resettle Palestinians from Gaza to Jordan and Egypt has been met with opposition, risking undermining stability in the region. Jordan plays a critical role in regional security and has been a key ally in the fight against terrorism. The Trump administration's recent actions have raised concerns, but it is important to engage in rational discussion and work closely with regional allies.
