King Abdullah Meets Trump on 11 Feb.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II will meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Feb. 11, the royal court said on Sunday.

The visit comes upon an invitation from the US president, it said in a brief statement.

Trump suggested last weekend that Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt, calling the enclave a “demolition site” after Israel’s war. His proposal, however, was vehemently rejected by Amman and Cairo.

A six-nation Arab ministerial meeting in Cairo on Saturday firmly rejected Palestinian displacement from Gaza and renewed calls for implementing a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Last week, Abdullah had a phone call with Trump, during which he underlined the importance of the US role in achieving peace and stability in the Middle East region according to Anadolu.

Letter to My Captives

Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, has released a letter written by Israeli-American prisoner Keith Siegel before his release. Siegel, 65, was freed on Saturday as part of the fourth phase of a prisoner exchange deal.

In the letter, published on Al-Qassam’s Telegram channel along with an Arabic translation, Siegel described his conditions in captivity. He stated that his guards ensured he had food, water, medicine, and vitamins.

Keith Siegel noted that when he fell ill, Al-Qassam fighters provided him with a doctor. They also brought him food that suited his health needs, including a vegetarian diet without oil.

He thanked his captors for their care throughout his time in Gaza since October 7, 2023. He also criticized the Israeli government, saying it failed to secure a deal to bring prisoners home and end the war. “This led to many casualties and more harm to both sides,” he wrote.

On Saturday, Al-Qassam also released a video of Siegel speaking in Arabic, thanking his captors before his release.

Murder, Mayhem and Israel

The Government Media Office in Gaza reported that Israel’s genocide has killed more than 61,000 people and displaced over two million. The office detailed the toll during a press conference at Al-Shifa Hospital on Sunday.

At least 47,487 victims arrived at hospitals, while 14,222 remain missing under rubble or in the streets. The number of wounded has reached 111,588.

Israeli forces have kidnapped over 6,000 Palestinians, subjecting them to severe abuse and torture. Dozens have died in custody. Forced displacement has affected over two million people, some uprooted more than 25 times under dire conditions.

Genocide Against Women and Children

The genocide has taken a devastating toll on children and women. Among the dead are 17,881 children, including 214 newborns who died amid the attacks. Over 38,000 children have been orphaned, with 17,000 losing both parents. Israeli forces have also killed 12,316 women.

Israeli bombings have wiped out entire families. The report recorded 9,268 massacres against families, erasing 2,092 families from civil records. Another 4,889 families were nearly wiped out, leaving only one survivor in each case.

Attacks on First Responders and Infrastructure

Israeli strikes have killed 1,155 medical workers, 205 journalists, and 194 civil defense personnel. More than 150,000 housing units have been damaged.

Israel’s war has also decimated Gaza’s healthcare system. At least 34 hospitals are out of service. The transportation sector has suffered losses exceeding $1.5 billion.

Education Under Attack

Israeli airstrikes have damaged 1,661 educational institutions, including 927 schools, universities, and daycare centers that were completely destroyed. Another 734 facilities suffered partial damage. The war has killed 12,800 students and nearly 800 educators. Around 785,000 students have been denied access to education.

The Government Media Office declared Gaza a disaster zone, warning that basic survival resources have collapsed. It urged international intervention to save 2.4 million people at risk of starvation, dehydration, and disease.

The office placed full responsibility on Israel, the Biden administration, and all those who have politically, economically, and militarily supported Israel’s actions.

Authorities in Gaza have outlined a post-war reconstruction plan in coordination with local and international organizations. They are calling for urgent relief, including the entry of 200,000 tents, 60,000 mobile homes, and essential shelter supplies according to the Quds News Network.
