Ethnic cleansing feared as Trump asks Jordan, Egypt to take Gaza residents
www.aljazeera.com
Trump says relocation may be temporary or long-term as he announces lifting of hold on 2,000-pound bombs for Israel.

“I would like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.'”

“I would love for you to take on more, ‘cause I am looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.”

“It is literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there,” he said.

“So, I would rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

    Journalist: What was the subject of discussion? Was it-- ?

    Trump: Pretty much that 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.

    Journalist: You’d like Jordan to house people from Gaza?

    Trump: I’d like him to take people – I’d like Egypt to take people and meeting with talking to uh General Sisi tomorrow sometime I believe and uh I’d like Egypt to take people and I’d like Jordan to take people. I could-- I mean you’re talking about probably a million and a half people and we just clean out that whole thing. It’s you know, it’s over the centuries that’s had many, many conflicts at that site and I don’t know it’s something has to happen but uh it’s-- 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 at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for change.

    Journalist: Temporarily or is it long term?

    Trump: Could be either it could be temporarily could be long term go ahead
