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.

By your comment, should we assume you’re the ones who thought that a known racist and islamophobe with ties with Israel would be the best option for Palestinians?
Well, Palestine won’t exist in the next election cycle. What lies will you trust next?
I guess some people aren’t ready to admit their mistakes.
The irony of you losers high handing people. You lot lost this last election.
Who do you think you are? You’re right down here in the mud with the rest of us. The party brand is in absolute tatters and trust in it has never been lower. Heck of a job. And then you try to lecture people? Its absurd.
If you voted for genocide…that was a mistake.
I didn’t vote for genocide. What did you do?
Yes we get it, you just made sure the literal Nazis got power and gave Israel the means to 100% Speedrun the genocide.
Do you feel ok about that in the context of what’s about to happen in Palestine?
Do I feel okay about voting for an anti-genocide candidate? Of course. Why wouldn’t I?
The question is: why are so many people okay voting for a pro-genocide candidate?
We shouldn’t even be having this conversation. No Democratic candidate should be supporting genocide. Ever. And nobody should be defending her!
Because you’ve enabled Trump to grind palestinians into the dust.
Who do you think Palestinians wanted to win the election?
One of two people was going to win this election and unless you voted for the other one, you helped elect Trump.

It wasn’t inaction. I voted for Jill Stein.
So you didn’t do anything to avoid a Trump presidency. That’s inaction.
she was running against trump.
Yes but she wasn’t a viable president so you wasted your vote.
We did it Patrick! We saved Palestine!
