President Trump's recent comments advocating for the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan have ignited controversy regarding U.S. policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His proposal echoes sentiments from the Israeli far right, heightening fears among Palestinians regarding displacement from their homeland. While Trump indicated ongoing discussions with leaders in Jordan and Egypt about accepting more Palestinians, Hamas firmly rejected the suggestion, viewing it as an affront to their struggle to remain in Gaza amidst ongoing violence.
The Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip have endured death and destruction over 15 months...simply to stay on their land and homeland.
I said to him, I'd love for you to take on more because I'm looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it's a mess.
It was unclear from Mr. Trump's comments if he was suggesting that all of the people in Gaza leave.
The suggestion by Mr. Trump was rejected on Sunday by Hamas, the militant group that runs Gaza.
