President Trump proposed that Egypt and Jordan should accept a large number of Palestinian refugees from Gaza, suggesting this could lead to a 'clean slate' for the war-torn region. During a press session on Air Force One, he confirmed the lifting of a ban on sending bombs to Israel, asserting it was due to purchase agreements. Trump's support for Israel remains strong as he discussed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and spoke with Jordanian King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.
I'd like Egypt to take people. You're talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, 'You know, it's over.'
We released them today. They've been waiting for them for a long time. Because they bought them.
I told the king, I'd love for you to take on more, cause I'm looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it's a mess. It's a real mess.
Such a drastic displacement of people would openly contradict Palestinian identity and deep connection to Gaza.
