President Trump, during a conversation aboard Air Force One, expressed his desire for Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations to accept more Palestinian refugees from Gaza. He suggested that this could help "clean out" the area and create a fresh start for the region. Trump also mentioned lifting a restriction on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, a move that had been intended to reduce civilian casualties in the conflict with Hamas, which had been paused by a fragile ceasefire.
Trump’s stance has been strongly pro-Israel, and he mentioned discussing the situation with leaders such as King Abdullah II of Jordan and President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt.
President Trump praised Jordan for successfully accepting Palestinian refugees, telling King Abdullah, “I’d love for 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.” Trump acknowledged the deep connection Palestinians have to Gaza but pointed out the region's history of ongoing conflict. He suggested that resettling people could be either a temporary or long-term solution, noting that "something has to happen."
He described Gaza as "literally a demolition site" with widespread destruction and loss of life. Trump emphasized his preference for working with Arab nations to build housing in other locations, offering the possibility of peace and stability for the displaced population.
The Biden administration's pause had delayed the shipment of 1,700 500-pound bombs to Israel, but they were delivered weeks later. This action occurred amid a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, which has allowed for the release of some hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. However, negotiations for the more difficult second phase, which would involve the release of all hostages and a lasting end to the fighting, have not yet begun. If the remaining hostages are not freed, Israel has threatened to resume its military operations against Hamas, following their October 7, 2023, attack.#TRUMP #Write2Earn #Binance #BTC
