President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu

Donald Trump has said that Palestinians have “no alternative” but to leave Gaza due to the devastation left by Israel’s war on Hamas, in effect endorsing ethnic cleansing of the territory over the opposition of Palestinians and the neighbouring countries.

Speaking as he prepared to host Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday, Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt – something both countries have firmly rejected.

Trump claimed Palestinians would “love to leave Gaza”, telling reporters: “I would think that they would be thrilled.”

    A resolution, for a ceasefire, that the US blocked.

    And yes, US backing genocide has a long, and storied tradition, if you will. Hitler got his “best” ideas for it, from the US.

      A resolution that had no binding action on Israel or Hamas is not a cease fire. It’s a performative action of “Israel bad”, which is why the US vetoed it.
