US president says he wants people to move to neighbouring nations, after resuming shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel

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.

    Maybe geopolitics is more complicated than the anti-Kamala protest voters have been lead to believe…

      It certainly is. Unfortunately for all of us, it’s more complicated than the Dems and “lesser of two evil” voters (of which I was one) have been lead to believe as well.

      Or they would have… you know… Won.

      But hey, if we want to learn the wrong lesson from this again, far be it from me to stop us.

      If your “complicated” world view means justifying genocide then it’s just a justification of murder.

        Who did you vote for who wasn’t justifying a genocide?

        Edit: Worth noting, 17 downvotes at this time, yet not a single reply with a candidate who wasn’t “justifying a genocide”.

          Oh they both were, I’m just being real about what that means.
