Trump has again called for Palestinians to move out of Gaza and said he thinks both Egypt and Jordan will comply with his request to take in Palestinians, according to a report.
A journalist with the US news site Axios said Trump made his latest remarks about the future of Gaza and its population while speaking with reporters on his plane on Monday night.
“I want them to live in a place without violence. Gaza has been hell for so many years. They can live in much better and more comfortable areas,” Trump was quoted as saying.

Hanfy el-Gebaly, the speaker of the Egyptian House of Representatives, has vehemently rejected proposals to relocate Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.
ReplyDeleteThe speaker’s comments came after US President Donald Trump urged Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza. While not addressing Trump directly, el-Gebaly told a session of the Egyptian parliament that such proposals “are not only a threat to the Palestinians but also they also represent a severe threat to regional security and stability”.
“The Egyptian House of Representatives completely rejects any arrangements or attempts to change the geographical and political reality for the Palestinian cause,” he said.
