US President Donald Trump said that the Palestinians must leave Gaza permanently in his strongest comments so far that he wants to resettle the residents of the besieged strip of 2.2 million in countries such as Egypt and Jordan.
Speaking during talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday, Trump said that “all” Palestinians in Gaza must “be resettled.”
Trump's proposal will increase decades of American policy and anger angry throughout the Arab world, as Washington's allies have long warned of forced displacement of the Palestinians.
Egypt and Jordan have already rejected Trump's plans after the US president said last month that it was time to “clean” Gaza.
The Arabs look at such movements, similar to 1948, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians forced their homes or fled the fighting that accompanied the founding of Israel. Palestinians refer to that period in the name of Nakba, or a disaster.
The forced displacement of the Palestinians would harm the allies of the United States, who have long supported a solution from the two countries to the lengthy Palestinian -Israeli conflict.
But Trump doubled on Tuesday, describing Gaza as a “demolition site”, and said he expected Cairo and safety, and both of them receive large sums of American aid, to accept the Palestinians.
Jordan's King Abdullah will meet with Trump next week in Washington to present his case against the proposal.
Israel has reduced a lot of densely populated tape to a barren land scattered since it launched a fierce retaliatory attack after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, when the Israeli forces bombed Gaza from the air, land and sea.
The Arab and European forces hope that the fragile ceasefire and the hostages between Israel and the Palestinian armed group will lead to a permanent end of the war that would be able to rebuild the tape to start.
But Trump said: “If we are able to find a correct plot of land, or many lands, and build some of the really nice places with a lot of money in the region. I think this will be much better than returning to Gaza, which had contracts and contracts from Death only.
Trump and Netanyahu were expected to discuss the ceasefire in Gaza, as well as Iran and its nuclear program.
Shortly before Netanyahu's interview, which is the nuclear program of Branan as an existential threat to Israel, Trump signed a note that would direct his government to impose “maximum pressure” on Iran.
US officials described this step as a tool to pressure Tehran again to the negotiating schedule to discuss the Iranian nuclear program.
While Trump was signing it, he did not refer to the types of sanctions he would use against Iran, but he said he would look forward to speaking to the leaders of the Islamic Republic about a possible deal to end the nuclear crisis.
He said: “We will see whether we can arrange or connect a deal with Iran and everyone can live together.”
Trump said he was “unhappy” to sign the memo but has no choice. “It is very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
As part of this effort, Trump indicated that he was seeking to curb Iran's oil exports, saying that the United States has the “right” to prevent the sale of Iranian crude to other nations.
Brent Future Futures was trading about $ 76 a barrel after signing the memo, much higher than the lowest level on Tuesday at about $ 74.15.
Iranian president Masoud Bezishian He has indicated for several weeks more readiness to agree to settle negotiations to secure sanctions and reduce local economic pressure.
His government has also made it clear that it wanted to avoid the military confrontation with the United States and Israel.
Trump launched a “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran in his first term as a president after giving up a 2015 nuclear deal that Tehran signed with global powers. American sanctions were imposed on the Islamic Republic.
In response, Tehran has increased its nuclear activity and is now enriching uranium near the degree level.
Trump's sanctions against Iran remained valid during the administration of Joe Biden, but analysts said it did not implement it just as it sought to revive the nuclear agreement with Iran and reduce the crisis.
Netanyahu has made it clear that his government wants to keep pace with pressure on Iran after more than a year of conflict between Israel and the militants supported by Tehran after Hamas's attack on the Jewish state.
Last year, Israel and Iran circulated twice with direct missile fire against each other because the long -awaited shadow war exploded in the open. Netanyahu claimed that the Israeli strikes destroyed many Iranian air defenses.
Israel also addressed a series of devastating strikes to Hezbollah, the Lebanese Armed Group and the most important representative of Iran, and many experts said that the Islamic Republic is in the maximum weakness in decades.
Netanyahu has long pledged to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, and it may seek to support more strikes against the Republic, according to analysts.
