    US President Donald Trump is facing widespread criticism and accusations of proposing ethnic cleansing after stating that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and relocate its Palestinian population to neighbouring countries.

    Speaking aboard Air Force One during a flight from Las Vegas to Miami on Saturday, Trump described Gaza as a “demolition site” and suggested moving its residents to Jordan and Egypt.

    “I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”

    He added that the move could be either temporary or long-term, saying, “something has to happen”

    To everybody who voted against Kamala Harris because she didn’t change her stance on Gaza, how does it feel to be played harder than a tenor saxophone?

      Very few people got “played”, if you mean that they thought Trump would be better on Gaza. They simply weren’t willing to vote for a candidate who actively supported genocide.

      Funny that you think Gaza genocide was the reason people didn’t vote vs pure laziness. The Gaza thing was a scapegoat for 90% of them.

          It’s a real photo finish for which admin wants more dead Palestinians.
