US President Donald Trump has said he would 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 said he discussed his vision on a call earlier in the day with King Abdullah II of Jordan.
Describing Gaza as a “demolition site” after the war between Israel and Hamas, Trump said he had spoken to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about the issue and expected to talk to Egypt’s leader on Sunday.
“I’d like Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
