Trump administration gearing up for potentially contentious meetings with Arab power players this week .

Jordan 's King Abdullah is scheduled to meet with Trump at the White House on Tuesday .

Jordan has served as a humanitarian lifeline for civilians in Gaza throughout the Israel -Hamas conflict.

Trump 's plan for rebuilding Gaza calls for the country, as well as Egypt , to take in close to 2 million more Palestinians .

However, Warrick said Trump 's strategy "will need to be dialed back to what is workable," and that he's likely to come face to face with one tall hurdle when he meets with Abdullah : Jordan 's unwillingness to accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza . "There is quite literally no tool in the US toolbox that could persuade the leaders of Egypt or Jordan to change their minds on this point," he said. " Trump 's advisors know this, but they would likely rather have Trump hear this directly from Jordanian King Abdullah.".
