US President Donald Trump said he would meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington shortly and reiterated his intention to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to safer places like Egypt or Jordan.
More than 15 months of Israel-Hamas conflict had turned the Palestinian region into a demolition zone, Trump on Saturday proposed clearing Gaza.
When questioned about such remarks, Trump stated that he would like to see them live in a place free from violence, revolution, and disturbance and that he would meet with Netanyahu as soon as possible.
“You know, the Gaza Strip has been a hell for a long time, and violence has always been a part of it. “I’m having a meeting with Netanyahu here,” he remarked.
According to information obtained, Trump has also just met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Jordanian King Abdullah II, both of whom have long opposed the displacement of Palestinians.
“I hope he takes some. He would undoubtedly assist us, as we greatly aided them.
He went on to remark, “I think he would do it, and I think the king of Jordan would do it too, even though it’s a rough neighborhood.”
The conflict sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught on Israel has forced nearly all of the 2.4 million people living in the Gaza Strip to flee their homes.
33 hostages held in Gaza versus about 1,900 Palestinian inmates will be released during a six-week ceasefire.
In order to liberate the remaining hostages and end the war definitively, the terms of the second phase are to be agreed during this first phase.
Rebuilding Gaza and returning the remains of the remaining prisoners who perished in captivity will be the ultimate phase.
Trump hasn’t mentioned the plans that former President Joe Biden’s administration developed for Gaza’s post-war future.
