President Donald Trump indicated Saturday that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and send the bombed-out Palestinian refugees from there to neighboring Middle Eastern nations.
During an extended question-and-answer on Air Force One, President Trump floated the idea of moving Palestinians to create a clean slate.
“I’d like Egypt to take people,” the president said, the AP reports, adding, “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”
“I’d love for [Jordan] to take on more ’cause I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.”
Trump added that this type of relocation of Palestinians “could be temporary or long term.”
“Something has to happen. But it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there,” he emphasized.
“So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
On Saturday, the Trump administration agreed to send thousands of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.
That shipment of bombs – 1,800 MK-84s — was previously halted back in May by the Biden administration out of concerns Israel would use the weapons on civilians.

,“Why won’t Jordan or Egypt help the Palestinian people?”
And I told her about Black September.
You know, that time from 1967-1970 when Jordan extended citizenship to all Palestinians in the West Bank, only for the PLO to cockily thank them by attempting a coup and attempted assassination on Jordanian King Hussein.
By 1970 Jordan expelled all Palestinians.
The PLO fled to Lebanon. Within 3 years their terrorism caused a civil war there and were kicked out of Lebanon.
Egypt watched this and said hell nah. When Hamas took over Gaza in 2007, Egypt SEALED THEIR BORDER.
The Palestinian people, if they consider themselves a people in need of statehood, and deserving of statehood, need to demonstrate their ability to elect democratic, non-corrupt leaders.
