Jordan’s King Abdullah II has confirmed that he is rejecting the Trump Middle East Peace Plan from the outset, even before the details are published — not unlike Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, who so far has rejected every proposal made by the US without ever hearing anything about it.

“Our stance is well known,” the king said during an event in Aqaba, according to a report broadcast Sunday by Israel’s Channel 13 TV News.

“The word ‘no’ is clear to everyone,” the Hashemite monarch said, adding that his administration will “absolutely refuse” to accept the Trump administration’s “deal of the century.”
