John Lyons went on to say:

The interesting thing what he’s saying there prefaces the possible collapse of Jordan and Egypt. Because, they are opposed to this transfer plan. For every reason. They feel they can’t absorb the Palestinians, they believe that the world can’t just say OK, there is no homeland for the Palestinians. But, Donald Trump has a leverage over those two, Egypt and Jordan. They’re essentially kept in place by American funding and military.

If internally, like in Jordan, there’s a huge Palestinian population there now anyway, they’re saying no to this plan, on the weekend, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Jordan – all met and said no – if Donald Trump insists on that, he can also say, then, his leverage is I can pull the funding. If he pulls the American funding out of Egypt and Jordan, they can’t survive in their current state without that.

So we’re looking at that press conference at the complete redrawing of the Middle East. It’s the most extraordinary 10 minutes I have seen for a long time.
