President Donald Trump said Monday night that he would be open to cutting off aid to Jordan and Egypt if the countries don’t accept Palestinians from Gaza. 

Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office where he issued a final ultimatum to Hamas saying ‘all hell will break loose’ if every remaining hostage is not returned to Israel by noon on Saturday. 

He was asked if he would withhold aid from Jordan and Egypt if they don’t agree to take Palestinians from Gaza. 

‘Yeah, maybe, sure why not?’ Trump answered. ‘If they do’n’t, I would conceivably withhold aid, yes.’

Trump has continued to push a plan to have the U.S. take over the wartorn Gaza strip and create a new ‘Riviera of the Middle East.’ 

The pronouncement came during his press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first world leader to visit Trump at the White House during the Republican’s second term. 

Trump has said that all Palestinians will want to leave Gaza and has insisted that the surrounding Arab countries would allow hundreds of thousands of refugees to be resettled. 

Jordan’s King Abdullah II is expected to meet Trump at the White House Tuesday.

‘I do think he’ll take, and I think other countries will take also,’ Trump said in the Oval Office Monday night. ‘They have good hearts.’ 

Previously the leaders of Jordan and Egypt have rejected that the Palestinians could be relocated to their countries.
