Aboard Air Force One (Reuters) – The US president Donald Trump said Saturday, Jordan and Egypt must take many Palestinians from Gaza, where Israel’s military attacks have been a fearful situation to man and killed thousands.
When asked if it is a temporary or long-term proposal, Trump said: “May.”
Washington said this past year that it opposed the forced transfer to Palestinians. Groups of rights and humanitarian agencies within months have raised concerns in the situation of Gaza, with the war that moved to almost the entire population and led to the crisis of hunger.
Washington also faced criticism of the support of Israel but remained support for its ally, saying that it helped Israel to protect against the militant groups of Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and to the Houthis of Yemen.
“I told him I wanted to take more because I looked at the entire Gaza Strip today and it was a trouble, it was a real mess.” Trump, who took office on January 20, saying about his call on Saturday with King Abdullah in Jordan.
“I want Egypt to take people,” Trump told the reporters, and added that he was talking to the President of Egypt Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Sunday.
“You talk about a million and a half people, and we clean everything,” Trump said.
Palestinian Enclave’s population before the Israeli-Gaza War begins about 2.3 million.
Gaza is a ‘demolition site’
“This is literally a demolition site, almost everything is broken and people die there, so I prefer to be with some Arab countries and build houses in a different location where they can live in a different location peacefully for the change, “Trump said.
The best bloodshed to the decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts were triggered on October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian Hamas militants attacked Israel, killing about 250 people and took about 250 Hostages, according to Israeli Tallies.
The following military attacks in Gaza killed more than 47,000 people, according to Gaza’s health ministry, and led to genocide accusations and war crimes that Israel denied.
A ceasefire began a week ago and led to release some hostages in Israel held in Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
