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.
Are you asking why they are in bed with Israel? It’s our window into directly destabilizing the middle east.
Does that mean in 20 years or so when solar is king and wind is a strong second and the middle east is in obscurity america will stop caring about Israel, you think?
I think they will care less. But I don’t know how much less.
Not sure. It would take glassing a hostile country or even making democracy happen in those countries could lessen the extent. But religious zealotry and terrorism kind of make a it difficult for people to stop caring.
