US president has suggested Palestinians should leave Gaza for neighbouring countries to ‘just clean out’ whole strip

Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

    That forced relocation happened under Biden who used his powers to bypass congress to send Israel weapons. Palestinians are now moving back north. The opposite.

    But it is a good thing Democrats are finally paying attention to what happens in Palestine. They did not under Biden.

      Yeah, that’s cool, just gloss over how you said trump is deescalating the situation when all he’s done is sent Israel the 2000lbs of explosives that the biden administration refused them.

          Biden bypassed congress for the sale of primers to Israel. Trump sends Israel 2000lbs of explosives and you call this progress.

          This will be my last comment in this thread, so let me end it with this. You keep dodging what you said; you said “so far [under trump] there has been no escalation, but the opposite; a ceasefire”. This statement is verifiably false, and you keep bringing up the Biden administrations congress-bypassed sale of primers to the Israeli government in an attempt to divert from the Trump administration sending Israel 2000lbs of explosives; an action which was SPECIFICALLY, INTENTIONALLY witheld by the biden administration. Please, PLEASE explain to me how the US sending Israel 2000 fucking pounds of explosives is a deescalation. Please explain to me what use Israel has for 2000lbs of explosives if a ceasefire is to be established.

          I’m not sure if your an idiot or an apologist, but its clear to me that this this thread is no longer worth my time. Go fuck yourself.

          Sincerely; Vytle.
