“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.”

    I think Trump does not actually care about whether any country accepts Palestinian residents. He’s creating a permission structure for Israel to continue bombing Gaza civilians. The article also mentions that Trump just approved more 2000 pound bomb shipments to Israel. When Israel starts dropping those 2000 pound bombs on civilians again, he’s going to blame Egypt and Jordan for not accepting the refugees.
