GAZA: US President Donald Trump’s Sugetion that Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from Gaza is raising concerns that they are being driven out of the coastal strip, with Arab states worried about the destabilising impact of any such exodus.
Both Hamas and Palestinian political leaders have reacted with fury and defiance to a plan floated by US President Donald Trump to “clean out” Gaza, which has been met with approval from the Israeli side.
Calling Gaza a “demolition site”, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he had spoken to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about moving Palestinians out of the territory.
“You’re talking about probably a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing,” Trump said of Gaza, whose population is about 2.4 million.
