Donald Trump has threatened to cut off aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refuse to accept Palestinians from Gaza. He proposed that accepting refugees would facilitate a US-led redevelopment of Gaza into a "Riviera of the Middle East."
Both countries, major recipients of US assistance, have rejected this idea, fearing it could lead to instability and jeopardize peace with Israel. Jordan's King Abdullah is expected to express concerns about the plan during an upcoming meeting with Trump.

Super Bowl LIX ads largely leaned into feel-good themes, with notable exceptions like the NFL's critique of male high school athletes. While some ads attempted to resonate with conservative values, they were seen as superficial, reflecting corporate America’s shift in tone rather than genuine support for traditional ideals.
The overall sentiment suggests that while the ads may signal a cultural shift, they lack depth and authenticity. True patriotism and national identity require more than catchy slogans; they demand a commitment to shared heritage and values, which corporate messaging fails to genuinely convey.
