Finacial Times Article

Donald Trump has urged Egypt and Jordan to take in most of the population of Gaza, saying it was time to “clean out” the territory in comments that are likely to outrage Palestinians and Arabs across the region.

“I’d like Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people,” the US president told reporters aboard Air Force One. “You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”

3. As soon as the last Palestinian is forced to leave Gaza, Israeli settlers will descend.

Gaza will be annexed and no Palestinians will be allowed to return. Their dream of a Palestinian country will be ended forever if that happens, which is why many Palestinians will fight to stay in Gaza, and the rest of the world should help them do so.

4. Genocide to enrich Kushner and himself.

Yeah, he wants to steal all of the Palestinians land for the worst reason - his own profit! Kushner wants to build a major luxury resort on the coast with all the money the Saudis gave him (and tsf) but first all the pesky people who actually live there and own the land musst be removed. This is beyond sickening!

They haven't taken any refugees from Gaza, nor are they planning to.

Palestinians stream back to a shattered northern Gaza

As a fragile ceasefire held into a second week, Israel was told by Hamas that eight of the hostages to be freed during the deal’s first phase are dead

Before Monday’s announcement, Israel believed that at least 35 of the about 90 hostages taken in the Oct. 7 attack and still in Gaza were dead.

Government spokesman David Mencer told journalists that a list received overnight from Hamas on the status of the 33 hostages being freed under the ceasefire’s first phase showed eight were dead.

The woman in question, Arbel Yehoud is scheduled for release on Thursday.

So right now there is a cease-fire.. Will it last? If it doesn't last Trump will have more sway.
It it lasts, there isn't much Trump can do, except run his mouth and maybe threaten Egypt and Jordan with sanctions.
But Israel also has a major say in the all of this too.
Right now this seems to be more "hot air" from Trump.

I mean, ever . . . Right?
