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.

    Yes they are different, but when it comes to a specific issue, “support israel genocide and ethnic cleansing and expansion” They are literally the same.

    This is known, since at least the 1980s they US government tried to negotiate with Egypt and Jordan to take people of Gaza.

    The only different between the two is “one say it out loud” the “other say it quietly while lying on live tv”
