Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: 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. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

      I know what he means and he’s wrong and so are you. Israel bombed Gaza. Full stop. Biden never had the power to stop it. Want to be angry at someone, choose the military industrial complex at the heart of America’s economy. The president only works for them, no matter his name or party.

              🙄 so in your little mind, Biden says “fuck you Israel. Not a single bullet more.” And magically Israel stops bombing because they… Ran out of bombs and ammo?

              It would have accomplished exactly nothing. Israel makes their own decisions. Nothing Biden could have done would have stopped anything. If you think otherwise you are simply naive.

                Look at how you contradict yourself. You claim that biden can’t do anything because Israel make their own decisions and that the military controlling presidents but then say because trump is going to make Israel do worse things to gazan. Please stop act like you are smarter than everybody who disagree with you

                  Answer the question.

                  And stop putting words in my mouth. I never said Trump had any power in Israel either.

                    To answer your question yes, i think so. Even if it doesn’t it is the right and moral thing to do.

                    You said that presidents has no power biden was president and now trump is. How can’t you not understand somw basic deductive reasoning ?

            Age took him. You are pretending to want something you cant have, cranakis. biden was practically drooling into the camera in the last year of his term, and was ‘sundowning’ hard. He wont live another 4 years, much less be able to perform any job.

        If Israel relies on US weapons, then yes the US has the power to stop it, by not supplying the weapons.

        We know the weapons are going to be used for genocide. Supplying them is as good as pulling the trigger ourselves.

          As abhorent as it was transferring the sales of weapons to IL it should also be made clear that Israel absolutely does not rely on the US. They can at any point go down to the next shop and get what they need. The issue is the US wants to exert it’s influence in the region so will go to great lengths to be the top shop. Make no assumptions about the US being the only shop in town.

            It sure seems like we’re the only shop in town when we stood alone with Israel in blocking the numerous UN resolutions against this genocide.

                    You’re right, it was also terrorism and the slaughter of civilians.

        No you don’t get it, the president directly controls everything including the price of eggs and petroleum.
