Trump floated the idea on Saturday, saying he would urge the leaders of the two Arab countries to take in Gaza's now largely homeless population, so that «we just clean out that whole thing.» He added that resettling Gaza's population «could be temporary or long term.»
«It's literally a demolition site right now,» Trump said, referring to the vast destruction caused by Israel's 15-month military campaign against Hamas, now paused by a fragile ceasefire.
«I'd rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change,» Trump said.
There was no immediate comment from Egypt, Israel or Palestinian officials. Jordan's foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, told journalists that his country's rejection of the proposed transfer of Palestinians was «firm and unwavering.»
