Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love 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. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

    Protest voters looking more and more stupid by the day. And will continue to do so every day for the next 4 years minimum.

      I get the sentiment of these posts. Gaza had no chance. But now our LGBTQ and POC homies are in real danger and that’s what really pisses me off. It’s now going to get dangerous to even protest against the Gaza genocide.

        Maybe the better plan was a massive protest by all Democrats to stop a live on tv genocide instead of passing congress to send more aid to Israel?

        When democrat abandon arab voters why anyone expect them to be there when the other group getting attack?
