Mr. Trump gave the idea of ​​’clean up’ Gaza

US President Donald Trump said on January 25, saying that he had talked to King Jordan Abdullah II, talking about the idea of ​​building settlements and moving more than one million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to neighboring countries.

According to him, these settlements will have “temporary or long -term houses” for the Gaza people to live. He praised Jordan for receiving Palestinian refugees, but wanted the country to receive more people from the strip to resettlement.

“I am watching the situation of the entire Gaza strip and it is a real mess,” Trump answered the press on the air force.

Jordan News Agency Petra Reported on the phone call between the leaders of the two countries, but did not mention the resettlement of Palestinians.

President Trump added that he also wanted Egypt to participate in the Gaza resettlement plan and would talk to his counterpart Abdel Fattah El-Sisi today.

“I want him, want Egypt to receive more people. You are mentioning about 1.5 million people, and we have just cleaned up, everything is ‘finished’,” the White House owner continued. “The land is now a rubble. Almost all have been destroyed, people are dying. I want to work with some Arab countries and build houses in other places where they can live in peace”.

Mr. Trump’s comment seems to be contrary to the US foreign policy for decades to support the two -state solution for Israeli – Palestine conflict. Jordan, Egypt, Israel officials have not spoken about the information.

It is estimated that there are 5.9 million Palestinian refugees in the world, of which millions of people living in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and some other Middle Eastern countries.

Gaza is a small strip of land, with an area of ​​about 365 km2, bordering Israeli and Egypt, the other side is facing the Mediterranean. This is one of the two territories of the Palestinians. The remaining area is the West Bank, adjacent to Jordan, occupied by Israel.

Before the war, Gaza was home to about 2.4 million. After the Hamas armed group in Gaza attacked Israel, causing great casualties and catching a series of hostages on October 7, 2023, Tel Aviv opened a campaign into the land strip to respond. The military move of Israel made most of the region become rubble, the Gaza people had to evacuate, the strip of land near the humanitarian crisis.

Many countries in the area are concerned that Israel wants to push Palestinians to leave Gaza. Egypt previously announced not to receive more Palestinians and all efforts were forced to collapse agreements between the country and Israel. King Jordan warned the idea of ​​pushing Palestinians to Jordan or Egypt as a “red line”.

Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire that takes effect from January 19. The Gaza Health Agency said on January 23 that the war had killed nearly 47,300 people, more than 111,400 injured. The number of casualties still increased, because officials found more bodies buried in rubble.
