Trump wants Jordan and Egypt to accept more refugees and floats plan to 'just clean out' Gaza

Source: AP

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday he’d like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a virtual clean slate.

During a 20-minute question-and-answer session with reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump also said he’s ended his predecessor’s hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. That lifts a pressure point that had been meant to reduce civilian casualties during Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza that is now halted by a tenuous ceasefire.

“We released them today,” Trump said of the bombs. “They’ve been waiting for them for a long time.” Asked why he lifted the ban on those bombs, Trump responded, “Because they bought them.”

"Nearly a third of US voters who cast their ballots for former President Joe Biden in 2020 decided against voting for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential elections because Biden supported Israel's war on Gaza, a new poll has shown.

The poll, conducted by the Institute of Middle East Understanding and YouGov, attempts to provide a possible answer to the question of why Harris received six million fewer votes than Biden received in 2020."

I can't take this poll seriously, but I'm sure this issue hurt Harris, and it is very possible that it might have cost her the election.
These same people are still at it.

And Trump wants to just bulldoze it down. Perhaps he should start with Mar-A-Lago
