AG Letitia James instructs hospitals to continue sex-change procedures for minors despite Trump’s executive order

New York Attorney General Letitia James warned local hospitals Monday that they will be in violation of state discrimination laws if they comply with President Trump’s executive order aimed at outlawing sex-change procedures for minors. 

“Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws, including those that prohibit discrimination against individuals based on their membership in a protected class, such as sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, military status, disability, or marital status,” James wrote in a letter to New York healthcare facilities.

“Electing to refuse services to a class of individuals based on their protected status, such as withholding the availability of services from transgender individuals based on their gender identity or their diagnosis of gender dysphoria, while offering such services to cisgender individuals, is discrimination under New York law,” she added. 

James, 66, urged anyone who witnesses “potential violations” to contact the New York Attorney General’s Office. 

Her letter comes as several hospitals across the country have already taken steps to cut back on so-called “gender-affirming care” in an apparent effort to comply with Trump’s Jan. 28 executive order “protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation.” 

 

$100 Billion Sent to Ukraine Goes Missing!!

 

UKRAINE: What if 58% of the U.S. taxpayer dollars sent to Zelensky never even reached Ukraine? Where did it go? Did the CIA skim a cut? Did Ukrainian officials and generals pocket their share? Did The Big Guy get his usual slice? If Zelensky's claim is true—that he only received… pic.twitter.com/PYyZ9HOQ4M

 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that his country has only received around $76 billion in aid from the United States despite America authorising around $175 billion to support the war-torn country.

In an interview with the Associated Press published over the weekend, President Zelensky said he doesn’t know where most of the money the United States allocated under the Biden administration to Ukraine has gone.

“When I hear – both in the past and even now – from the U.S. that America has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions, as the president of a nation at war, I can tell you – we’ve received more than $75 billion,” he said. “We’re talking about tangible things because this aid didn’t come as cash but rather as weapons, which amounted to about $70 billion.”

“But when it’s said that Ukraine received $200 billion to support the army during the war – that’s not true. I don’t know where all that money went,” Zelensky admitted.

“Perhaps it’s true on paper with hundreds of different programmes – I won’t argue, and we’re immensely grateful for everything. But in reality, we received about $76 billion. It’s significant aid, but it’s not $200 billion.”

The Ukrainian leader suggested that perhaps the additional funds went to humanitarian programmes, which he said he was “uninformed about, except for knowing of their existence”.

“Perhaps the U.S. President’s administration will audit these programmes and find additional billions, but I don’t know where those funds went,” Zelensky said.

He went on to note that following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, many organisations fled the country and suggested that they may have also received U.S. taxpayer dollars.

While the U.S. Congress has authorised around $175 billion for Ukraine-related spending since 2022, much of the money has been directed to defence firms in the United States.

An analysis by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) found last year that nearly 70 per cent of Ukraine aid was spent in America, including replenishing U.S. weapons stockpiles, purchasing weapons to be sent to Ukraine, and funding Defence Department accounts.

There have been long-held concerns in Washington over sending billions of dollars to Ukraine given its issues with graft. In 2023, Transparency International ranked Ukraine as the second-most corrupt European nation, only behind Russia, with a score of 33 out of 100.

The Oversight Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives has found that “Ukrainian government officials allegedly engaged in bribery, used government vehicles for personal use, and purchased inflated food supplies for Ukrainian forces.”

Despite previously downplaying the widespread corruption in the former Soviet state, the New York Times reported in 2023 that unnamed Ukrainian officials admitted U.S. taxpayer money intended for military contracts had “failed to produce weaponry or ammunition and that some money has vanished.”

Trump Wants a Larger Israel

 

 US President Donald Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office on Monday afternoon about a variety of issues including Israel and the chances of the ceasefire holding.

“It certainly is a small country in terms of land.” He demonstrated how small Israel is compared to the rest of the region using his pen.

“It’s a pretty small piece of land, and it’s amazing that they’ve been able to do what they’ve been able to do when you think about it. There’s a lot of good, smart brainpower, but it is a very small piece of land,” he added.

Despite its small size, Israel has made remarkable strides in technology, defense, and diplomacy. With a land area of just about 8,550 square miles—smaller than the state of New Jersey—Israel has managed to establish itself as a powerhouse in cybersecurity, medicine, and military innovation.

Fat Nadler Wants to Cut Israel in Half to Create a Palestinian State

New York Democratic Congressman Jerry Nadler, long known for his harsh criticism of Israel, has once again launched an unfair attack on the Jewish state. Nadler, whose voting record has consistently aligned with the far-left agenda, voted against key measures aimed at combating rising antisemitism in the United States and abroad. This troubling move is further compounded by his financial ties to J Street, an organization notorious for undermining Israel’s interests and promoting policies that weaken its security.

Nadler’s stance is not new. Despite claiming to be a staunch supporter of Israel, his actions have repeatedly contradicted this claim. From voting against Israel’s right to defend itself during past conflicts to aligning with progressive factions that openly criticize Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership, Nadler’s rhetoric has emboldened Israel’s enemies.

Video 

His latest remarks come at a time when Israel is facing unprecedented security challenges. Hamas and Hezbollah continue to escalate their threats from Gaza and Lebanon, and Iran remains steadfast in its pursuit of a nuclear weapon. In this environment, it is crucial for American leaders to show unwavering support for Israel and its democratically elected government. Yet, Nadler’s words and actions seem to play into the hands of those seeking to delegitimize and isolate Israel on the global stage.

All the shocking ways USAID spent your money

 

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has spent tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars on some shocking expenditures. 

USAID was established in 1961 to provide money made by Americans to help countries develop abroad. 

However, the agency has been shuttered because Donald Trump and his pal Elon Musk have found that the aid being doled out overseas often does not accomplish core U.S. missions, like and expanding education and improving infrastructure.  

'You've got to basically get rid of the whole thing. It's beyond repair,' Musk said of USAID on Monday. 'We're shutting it down.'

Now Musk and his DOGE officials are readying to dissolve the agency and roll it into the State Department, an idea the Tesla CEO says Trump is on board with. 

Just after taking office, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio implemented a 90-day freeze on most foreign aid expenditures to give the new administration time to review what USAID's $30 billion FY2025 budget is being used on. Rubio announced Monday he is now the acting director of USAID. 

But some Republicans have been sounding the alarm on USAID for weeks, saying the agency is more focused on advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) than diplomacy.

And some USAID receipts show it. DailyMail.com breaks down some of the most shocking ways the agency has spent U.S. taxpayer money. 

Peter Beinart of the New York Times Back to Using Nazi Propaganda against His Fellow Jews

 

Israel has no right to exist, New York Times “contributing opinion writer” Peter Beinart writes in a new opinion article accusing “mainstream American Jewish life” of being idolatrous.

The article appears under a general-purpose headline: “States Don’t Have a Right to Exist. People Do.” Yet after a bit of throat-clearing and hypothetical speculation about Scotland, Britain, Iran, and China, Beinart gets down to making his case for eliminating Israel, or, as he delicately puts it, “rethinking the character of the state” by replacing Israel with something else.

The one country that Beinart is really determined to rethink just happens to be the only one with a Jewish majority.  The URL or web address that the Times team gives the article also exposes the game, “https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/opinion/israel-state-jewish.html.”

This isn’t some sort of abstract political theory philosophy project — it’s an effort by Beinart, platformed by the New York Times, to wipe the Jewish state off the map. At this point, it’s predictable and tired. Beinart had already announced in the New York Times back in 2020, “I no longer believe in a Jewish state,” part of what earned him the status of the New York Times‘ most favorite Jew.

So what, if anything, is new in this latest Beinart screed? Beinart has a new book to publicize, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning. It is issued by publisher Knopf, whose parent company, Bertelsmann AG, collaborated with the Nazis during World War II and subsequently covered it up.

As is often the case with hatred of Israel, Beinart’s article is marred by factual errors. He claims that “roughly half the people under Israeli control are Palestinian.” That’s simply false; Israel’s population is about 9.8 million, of which about 7.2 million, or 73 percent, are Jewish, according to Israel’s central bureau of statistics. Beinart’s math depends on defining people in Palestinian Authority-controlled Ramallah and Jenin, or in Hamas-controlled Gaza, as being “under Israeli control,” which is not accurate.

Beinart also falsely claims, “Even the minority of Palestinians under Israeli control who hold Israeli citizenship — sometimes called ‘Israeli Arabs’ — lack legal equality.” Just because a group suffers from discrimination or has lower achievement doesn’t mean it lacks legal equality. Israel’s Declaration of Independence states, “It will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race, or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education, and culture.” Israel’s Supreme Court has enforced that promise of equality. Israeli Arabs have the right to vote and serve in the Parliament. An Israeli Arab politician, Mansour Abbas, even recently served as a minister in an Israeli government.

Beinart also complains that “this form of idolatry — worship of the state — seems to suffuse mainstream American Jewish life.” That’s not true. Yes, most mainstream American Jews — unlike Beinart and, apparently, his New York Times editors — care deeply about Israel and oppose the enemies that hope to eradicate it. Yet the comparison to idolatry is inaccurate. It’s also inconsistent with Beinart’s previous claims. Already in his 2012 book The Crisis of Zionism, or even before that in his 2010 article “The Failure of the American Jewish Establishment” Beinart was predicting that American Jews would abandon Israel as it became, he claimed, more illiberal and right wing and undemocratic. Now, more than a decade later, he’s accusing American Jews not of abandoning Israel but of worshiping it. At least with his reference to “mainstream Jewish life” Beinart is defining himself clearly outside that. Given that, one wonders why the New York Times has chosen to rely so heavily for analysis of American Jewry and Israel on such an extremist, fringe figure.

I offered a couple of theories last year, including that “some portion of the Times online readership — alienated graduate students and other young, college educated liberals, along with increasing numbers of non-Americans — are looking for someone to give them a pass to hate Israel, basically to excuse their antisemitism. Beinart serves that function.”

In that regard, a Times colleague of Beinart’s offers some useful analysis. In a 2012 review for Tablet of a Beinart book, Bret Stephens, then still at the Wall Street Journal, paraphrased Leon Wieseltier’s observation “that characterizing antisemitic acts as a response to something Jews did doesn’t explain antisemitism. It reproduces it.”

70 Palestinian Prisoners Stranded in Egypt Hotel: ‘No Country Wants Them’

 

i24 News – Seventy members of Hamas released from Israeli prisons as part of the hostage agreement are currently stranded in a hotel in Cairo, with the countries that had committed to hosting them not yet formally agreeing to do so.

“To date, no Arab country has agreed to receive even a single released and expelled Palestinian prisoner,” a source from the Palestinian Prisoner Authority told Ynet.

The ex-prisoners, who are not allowed to leave their hotel, describe their situation as moving “from an Israeli prison to an Egyptian prison.” The source reports that they had to stay for a long time with their prison clothes and sandals, adding that “the Egyptians do not treat them warmly.”

In addition to those stuck in Egypt, 23 other prisoners who were supposed to be deported abroad are trapped in the Gaza Strip. Among the countries mentioned as potential destinations are Algeria, Turkey, Tunisia, and Qatar.

In a joint statement, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed al-Thani and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced that they would agree to host a portion of the released prisoners, without specifying their number. Al-Thani emphasized that hosting the Palestinian prisoners “must be based on their own decision,” while Fidan simply stated: “We have agreed to accommodate a certain number of Palestinian prisoners expelled abroad.”

This situation arises as negotiations for phase two of the agreement are about to begin. Al-Thani indicated that there is no clear plan yet for conducting the discussions, adding that Qatar is currently holding talks with Israel and Hamas in preparation for the negotiations. “We hope to see movement on this issue in the coming days,” he said.

A Special Reunion: Freed Hostage Agam Berger Honors Her Sister

 Days after returning from Hamas captivity, Agam Berger presented her sister with the symbolic purple lanyard at the IDF Human Resources NCO graduation ceremony in Ir HaBahadim.

Berger, who served as an IDF observation officer, was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and held in Gaza until her recent release. Her presence at the ceremony was a powerful moment, symbolizing resilience and unity within her family and the Israeli military.

Mahmoud Abbas Calls for Emergency UN Security Council Session Over Israeli Operation in Jenin

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has called for an urgent session of the UN Security Council to address Israel’s actions in Jenin. 

Recently, Hamas criticized the Palestinian Authority's operations in the area, accusing Abbas of committing war crimes.
 

Netanyahu Caves Allows Palestinian Authority to control Rafah Crossing

 

Late last week, the Rafah Crossing reopened to traffic, and in the past two days, the Palestinian Authority has become involved in its operations - despite promises otherwise by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yediot Aharonot reported.

According to the report, Palestinian Authority representatives are operating the crossing together with a European force and Egyptian security forces. Israel has no presence at the crossing but is indirectly involved in approving who may exit Gaza.

According to reports, Fars a-Rifi was appointed to manage the police station which will beset up at the crossing. A-Rifi is a Fatah operative in Gaza, who formerly served as the PA's police chief in Central Gaza.

Over the past month, the Palestinian Authority has prepared to take control of the crossing, and has held meetings with Egyptian and Israeli sources for this purpose.

MK Itamar Ben Gvir (Otzma Yehudit) responded to the reports, saying: "The government of Israel continues to break its promises and violate the principles it said it would keep, due to this reckless deal. The Prime Minister emphasized countless times that he will not allow the Palestinian Authority to manage the crossing and that this would be a security threat, but unfortunately on this matter as well he caved in."

"The government is allowing the Palestinian Authority -the same one which distributes salaries to terrorists- to control the gate to Gaza. How low will we go?"

FIRE HER NOW! AG Forbids PM Netanyahu to Reappoint Ben Gvir

 Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Sunday sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning that should he consider reappointing MK Itamar Ben Gvir to the post of national Security Minister (or any other – DI), it would require a re-examination of the factual infrastructure based on which the appointment is made.

“Before our discussion on the subject in question has been completed, and before the process of formulating the state’s position with respect to the aforementioned petitions has been completed, MK Ben Gvir announced his resignation from the government. Under these circumstances, I intend to ask the court to order the deletion of the petitions, while upholding the parties’ arguments,” the AG wrote.

She added: “As you consider appointing MK Ben Gvir as a member of the government in the future, an examination of the relevant, up-to-date factual infrastructure will be required, including that which has recently been presented to you. This future examination will be carried out, to the extent necessary, in light of the rules of administrative law, and bearing in mind that this will be considered a new appointment.”

On November 11, 2024, Baharav-Miara sent a letter to Netanyahu urging him to reconsider his stance on the tenure of Minister Ben Gvir. In the letter, she expressed concern over Ben Gvir’s alleged improper interference in police operations and the influence he held over police promotions, which she believed compromised the police’s ability to serve the public impartially rather than in alignment with political interests.

The November letter was part of a broader process to form an official stance on Ben Gvir’s tenure in preparation for the state’s response to the High Court of Justice which had ordered the AG to submit her response by the evening of the 11th. In her letter, Baharav-Miara emphasized that the recent developments, combined with previous events leading up to the petition, pointed to a troubling and ongoing pattern of legal violations, undermining basic governance principles, and politicizing the police force.

Netanyahu received Ben Gvir’s response to the allegations presented against him in the High Court ahead of the hearing on the petitions demanding his removal. In December, Netanyahu was planning to inform the AG that he rejected her claim that Ben Gvir should be removed from his position and that he intended to defend him in the High Court of Justice (via an independent attorney – DI).

Netanyahu was expected to deliver his stance to the AG during their following meeting a week later, as both the PM and the AG were required to submit their responses to the High Court of Justice, after which a date for the hearing on the petitions would be scheduled.

Shortly thereafter, on January 19, three days after stating that he would resign from the government if the hostage deal was approved, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir followed through on his pledge and announced his resignation, along with the resignation of his party’s government ministers.

New Data Shows Majority of Israelis Support Annexation

 

A new survey has found that the majority of Israelis support formal annexation of Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley.

The survey, carried out to measure support of Jewish sovereignty over all or some of Judea and Samaria, examined the Israeli public’s views regarding sovereignty versus a Palestinian state, sovereignty versus the option of peace with Saudi Arabia, and more.

The resulting data showed that 71 percent of those polled oppose a Palestinian state in light of the Simchat Torah massacre events including twelve percent who supported such a state prior to October 7, 2023.

A total of 68 percent support applying sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (across all sovereignty options), the survey found.

Petira Of World Famous Chazan R’ Bentzion Miller Z”L

DIN regrets to inform you of the Petira of Chazzan Bentzion Miller Z”L, one of the greatest and most prestigious Chazzanim in the world in the past 45 years. He was 77.

On a personal note, this is a very sad day for my family as we grew up together and our families were very close! My mother a"h was R' Ben-Zion mother's best friend! 

Reb Bentzion, a longtime resident of Boro Park, was born in a displaced persons (DP) camp in Ferenwald, Germany. Like his father Reb Aharon Daniel Z”L, he eventually became a Shochet, Mohel and a Chazzan, and was from a family of Bobover Chassidim.

He held held positions in Montreal at Sheves Achim Synagogue on Côte-des-Neiges, then in Toronto at Shaarei Tefillah Synagogue on Bathurst Street, in Canada. In 1981 he became Chazan of Temple Beth El of Boro Park in Brooklyn, a pulpit served by Mordechai Hershman, Berele Chagy, Moshe Koussevitzky, and Moshe Sterm, and continued as Chazan of the Shul, now Congregation Young Israel Beth El, after its merger with Young Israel of Boro Park.

His beautiful, well-trained voice, uplifted the souls of hundreds of thousands of Yidden around the globe over his career spanning many decades, as he preformed around the globe, and appeared on many recordings. He was very instrumental in strengthening the genre of Chazzanus over the past 25 years, to which there is now a very large audience.

A few months ago, he suddenly took ill overseas. He was eventually flown back to New York, where he was Niftar on Monday morning.

The Levaya will be held at Shomrei Hadas Chapels at 12:30PM.

Democrats waging ‘holy war’ as Trump ends 50 years of affirmative-action tyranny

 

When President Donald Trump last week fired two Democratic commissioners of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Charlotte A. Burrows and Jocelyn Samuels, along with EEOC General Counsel Karla Gilbride, The New York Times predictably howled it was a “late night purge.”

Democrats will likely launch a legal holy war to overturn Trump’s action — because it was a dagger strike at his effort to once and for all end affirmative action.  

The EEOC firings followed Trump’s executive orders canceling federal diversity, equity and inclusion mandates and prohibiting federal agencies from imposing racial, ethnic or gender quotas.

For more than half a century, the EEOC has been dishonestly dictating quotas to American businesses, schools and other institutions.  

Trump would send Gaza’s people to Egypt, Jordan — and that makes perfect sense

 

President Donald Trump recently floated a fantastic idea: Arab nations, he said, should accept large numbers of Gazans as refugees, a move that “could be temporary or long term.” 

The accommodation would allow Israel to eliminate the remnants of Hamas, which, in turn, would allow the international community to rebuild Gaza.

Not only would such a policy enhance the prospects of peace, but it’s also humane. 

While Gazans shouldn’t be compelled to move from their homes, they should be allowed to escape the generational tragedy foisted on them by the Arab world and their nihilistic leaders. And Israelis should monetarily incentivize them to move to safer environs.

Because one of the prevailing myths of the Israel-Arab conflict is that Palestinians have a deep historic connection to the land that goes back centuries. 

It’s debatable, considering evidence shows that most Arabs immigrated to British Palestine from Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the late 19th and early 20th century, lured by the prosperity created by returning Jews.

But Gaza? There are over 2 million people in Gaza. There were perhaps 50,000 people there when Arab nations rejected the partition plan in 1947. 

For years after that, the Arabs of Gaza lived under Egypt, which used it as a launching site for Fedayeen terrorists into Israel. (Oct. 7 was the culmination of a long tradition.)

Even today, you can hear Gazans talking about how they merely bide their time to return to their homes in Jaffa or elsewhere within Israel proper. The United Nations runs an entire organization devoted wholly to the “Palestine Refugees in the Near East,” even though no such country has ever existed.

How long is a Palestinian considered a refugee in Gaza by the UN? As long as possible. 

The UN creates permanent “camps” — in reality, bustling cities — for the descendants of people dislocated by wars that Arabs started over 70 years ago. By contrast, there are over 2 million ethnic Arabs living as citizens in the Jewish state. 

OK, then. If Gazans are just refugees, why can’t they move to other Arab nations? 

Because they are never going to be able to return to Israel. Convincing them otherwise, as the Western left and others do, only creates a perpetual state of angst and war.

“Our rejection of the displacement of Palestinians is firm and will not change. Jordan is for Jordanians, and Palestine is for Palestinians,” the nation’s foreign minister said after Trump’s comments.

Well, the biggest problem with the statement is that it reminds us that Jordan is “Palestine.”

Jordan, with a population of over 70% Palestinians, sits principally on land set aside during the British Palestine Mandate to create a new Arab state that was to sit next to the Jewish one. 

We already have a two-state solution. We just choose to ignore it.

But why should Western nations be the only ones compelled to absorb people fleeing Middle East wars? 

When Muslims stream into Europe or the United States, it is celebrated as a great moral imperative. Israel is home to Jewish refugees from Asia and Africa and Europe. 

Arab nations should partake in this great cause by welcoming back their own people. And Western powers should pressure them into doing the right thing.

Henry Kissinger once noted that Donald Trump, though he may not do it knowingly, was “one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretenses.”

And it is undeniable that many of Trump’s declarations, perhaps because they are unfettered by the norms of policy debate, end up changing the dynamics of policy.

Over the years, through revisionist histories and DC “expertise,” we have been programmed to accept the notion that a Palestinian state is inevitable. It’s not. 

There are hundreds of stateless minorities in the world. Most of them have far stronger claims to nationhood. 

So proposing that Gazans would be better off in their historic homelands makes perfect sense.

Trump is sending the Deep State to the outhouse as he cleans house at the FBI and DOJ

 

It’s galling to hear sleazy Democrats like Rep. Jamie Raskin and self-serving government bureaucrats whine about “due process” as Donald Trump sets about cleaning house in the out-of-control administrative state.

Last time Trump was president, he and his appointees were sabotaged and obstructed by Machiavellian Deep-Staters who perverted concepts such as “due process” into protective shields around wrongdoers and turned them into weapons against their adversaries — that is, anyone trying to carry out the wishes of the democratically elected president.

That won’t be happening again. It’s called democracy.

The FBI raided Trump’s home and rummaged through his wife’s underwear drawer. They tried to lock him up and bankrupt him. They rounded up his supporters and advisers and threw them in jail.

He was forced to spend 60% of his time and tens of millions of dollars fighting the lawfare waged against him.

Heads are spinning in Washington at the shock and awe tactics of Trump 2.0. You can hear the panic in the high pitch of Deep State voices as they run squealing to CNN and MSNBC.

Arab Countries Reject Trump’s Gaza Relocation Plan..Seems Like all know that Gazans are Terrorists!

 

 Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority published a joint statement on Saturday rejecting U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Gazans to Egypt and Jordan.

The foreign ministers of those countries and of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates published the statement following a summit meeting in Cairo, according to the Associated Press. The statement also represents the official position of the Arab League, a regional organization with 22 member states, the document said.

“We affirm our rejection of [any attempts] to compromise Palestinians’ unalienable rights, whether through settlement activities, or evictions or [annexations] of land or through vacating the land from its owners … in any form or under any circumstances or justifications,” the statement read.

The move could “threaten the region’s stability, risk expanding the conflict, and undermine prospects for peace and coexistence among its peoples,” the text continued.

Last week, Trump said he had asked Jordan’s King Abdullah II to take in more Palestinians from Gaza, where entire neighborhoods have been destroyed during the 15 months of fighting between Hamas and Israel.

“I said to him that I’d love you to take on more, because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.

“It’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there, so I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change,” he continued.

He added that he had also asked Egypt to take in Gazans.

The proposal was immediately rejected by Egypt and Jordan, with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi saying: “Our refusal of displacement is a steadfast position that will not change. Jordan is for Jordanians, and Palestine is for Palestinians.”

Palestinians currently account for more than 70% of the population of Jordan, which is ruled by the Hashemite royal house, whose origins are in the Arabian Peninsula.
