On the first air force (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from Gaza, as Israel's military attack caused a comfortable humanitarian situation and killed tens of thousands.
When asked if this was a temporary or long -term proposal, Trump said: “It could be.”
Washington said last year that she opposed the forced displacement of the Palestinians. For months, human rights and humanitarian groups have raised concerns about the situation in Gaza, as the entire war was removed and led to a hunger crisis.
Washington has also faced criticism to support Israel, but has maintained its support for its ally, saying that it helps Israel defend against Iran -backed groups such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hathl in Yemen.
“I told him that I would like to take more than that because I look at the entire Gaza Strip at the present time and it is a chaos, it is a real chaos. I would like to take people,” who took Trump, who took a office on January 20, about his call on Saturday with a king Jordan Abdullah.
“I would like Egypt to take people,” Trump told reporters, adding that he will speak to Egyptian President Abdel Fateh Al -Sisi on Sunday.
“You are talking about a million and a half people, and we see this entire,” Trump said.
The population of the Palestinian enclave before the start of the Israel war, Gaza, was about 2.3 million.
Gaza is “Demolition” site
“It is literally a demolition site, almost everything is demolished and people die there, so I prefer to participate with some Arab countries and build housing in a different location where they can live in peace for change,” Trump said.
The latest bloodshed in the Israeli conflict, decades -old, was operated on October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian militants attacked Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostages, according to Israeli families.
More than 47,000 people were killed by Israel, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, and led to accusations of genocide and the war denied by Israel.
The ceasefire entered into force a week ago and led to the release of some Israeli hostages, which Hamas kept in exchange for the Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
