RFK Jr. says Jordan's king 'cut us off' on 2,000 Gaza children pledge

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a Politico Magazine article published Monday that the king of Jordan “cut us off” regarding a pledge to take in 2,000 sick Palestinian children.

Two months ago, King Abdullah II of Jordan pledged to take in 2,000 sick Palestinian children from Gaza, but Kennedy said Jordan “took 44, and then they’ve cut us off.”

“I would encourage him to put the welfare of these children first and put the politics aside,” Kennedy said, seemingly referring to the king.
