President Donald Trump On Saturday, he said that he wants Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries to accept more Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip, which may lead to a sufficient number of people “just to purify” the area that destroyed the war between Israel and Hamas, which is now under the ceasefire.
Trump told reporters on the presidential plane that he had a conversation earlier in the day with Jordanian King Abdullah II and will speak on Sunday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El -Sisi.
“I would like Egypt to receive people,” Trump said. “You are probably talking about one and a half million people, and we delete this entire and say:” You know, it's over. “
Trump said that he praised Jordan for the acceptance of the Palestinian refugees, but he said to the king: “I would like to receive more, because I look at the entire Gaza Strip now, and I find it in a state of chaos. It is a real chaos.” “.

A radical displacement like this would contradict the Palestinian identity and the deep connection to Gaza.
“The Palestinians in Gaza – like the Palestinians in the West Bank and Israel – are tracking their origins with an overwhelming majority to the cities and villages in the region that includes today Israel and Palestine,” wrote former US MP Justin Ammash, a Palestinian, on the X. The idea is a kind of spread from countries Others in the so -called Arab world – and they are merely to be switched with other “Arabs” – is a false rhetorical tool, but it is routinely used to erase their history on the Arab world. land.”
“They are the descendants of the Canaanites, the Israelis, the Phoenicians and other ancient peoples.” “Their origins interfere with the origins of their Jewish neighbors, but they have turned into Christianity, Islam and other religions. Any effort to force them to go out or pressure them to leave under the threat of strength is just an ethnic cleansing.”
But Trump said that the part of the world that includes Gaza “witnessed many and many conflicts” for centuries, and that resettlement “may be temporary or long -term.”

“Something should happen,” Trump said. “But literally, a demolition site is currently. Almost everything has been demolished, and people die there. So, I prefer to participate with some Arab countries, build housing in a different location, where they can live in peace.” For change. “
Senior Israeli officials He said, according to the Israeli channel 12, that “Trump's statement regarding the migration of Gaza residents to Islamic countries is not a slip of the tongue, but rather part of a much broader move than what appears to be in coordination with Israel.”
On Monday, after his inauguration, Trump indicated that Gaza “must really be rebuilt in a different way.”
He added: “Gaza is interesting.” “It is an exceptional location, on the sea. The best weather, as you know, everything is fine. It seems that some beautiful things can be done with it, but it is very interesting.”

Trump also said on Saturday that he had ended former President Joe Biden's comment on sending 2000 pounds weighing bombs to Israel, which was present during the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, which was subject to a ceasefire for a week.
“We have released them today,” Trump said of the bombs. “They were waiting for them for a long time.” Trump said he lifted the ban on the bombs “because they bought them.”
