Trump wants Jordan and Egypt to accept more refugees and floats plan to ‘just clean out’ Gaza
SUMMARY
President Trump proposed that Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations accept more Palestinian refugees from Gaza, potentially relocating up to 1.5 million people to "just clean out" the war-torn area. In a 20-minute session aboard Air Force One, Trump shared his vision after discussing it with King Abdullah II of Jordan. He said, “I’d like him to take people. I’d like Egypt to take people. 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.’” Trump described Gaza as a "real mess" and noted that the region has faced conflicts for centuries, adding, “It could be temporary or long term.” He complimented Jordan for accepting refugees, saying, "I’d love for you to take on more,” and suggested a mass relocation could offer Palestinians a chance to live in peace elsewhere.
