King Abdullah
King Abdullah II of Jordan has been a prominent figure in Middle Eastern politics since ascending to the throne in 1999. He is known for his moderate stance in a region often marked by conflict and has played a crucial role in promoting peace and stability. Recently, he has opposed U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to take over and redevelop Gaza, warning that such a plan could lead to increased radicalism and jeopardize Jordan's peace treaty with Israel.
