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.

      Do you believe what was happening up until now was not genocide? Because if you don’t then calling this an actual genocide makes it seem like you do.

          Hey you’re cool with the current regime and like genocide! What’s it like being a genocide apologist?

          Edit: Taking potshots at people who I agree with and don’t deserve it is bad form.

              They had a chance under Biden. He was withholding large bombs and putting pressure on Netanyahu to end the conflict.

              Now the bombs are being delivered and Trump is putting pressure on Netanyahu to finish the conflict.

                Oh, yes. I’m sure that he would’ve succeeded eventually. Just give him another 4 years…

                    He did. He dropped out, but he very much did run.

                    Have a drink of water and drop the name-calling.

                Lol his one act of defiance was limiting the 2000lb bombs. Really worked hard there to stop it.

                What pressure did Biden ever put on Israel?

                  jfc you’re really acting like massive explosive ordinance shipments being halted doesn’t have any impact so you can justify helping elect an actual genocidal fascist?
