Trump suggests that Egypt and Jordan should accept Palestinians fleeing from Gaza.
Former US President Donald Trump expressed his desire for Egypt and Jordan to accommodate Palestinians from Gaza, referring to the region as a "demolition site." Speaking about Gaza's situation, Trump mentioned he had urged Jordan's King Abdullah to consider the move, saying, "I'd love you to take on more, because I'm looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it's a mess."
Trump estimated the population at "probably a million and a half people," suggesting the area could be "cleaned out," with the relocation being either "temporary" or "long-term." He also planned to raise a similar proposal with Egypt's president.
Hamas strongly opposed the idea, with Bassem Naim, a member of its political bureau, stating: "Our Palestinian people in Gaza endured death and destruction for 15 months without leaving their land. They will not accept any offers or solutions under the guise of reconstruction, as proposed by US President Trump."
Naim emphasized that Palestinians have historically resisted displacement and alternative homeland plans and would reject such initiatives. Gaza, home to around two million people, has faced significant destruction during 15 months of conflict with Israel, leaving much of its infrastructure in ruins.
