Trump Proposes Relocation of Gaza Residents to Arab Nations
The U.S. President suggests moving 1.5 million Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan while approving heavy bomb deliveries to Israel.
- Donald Trump advocates for clearing the war-torn Gaza Strip and resettling its 1.5 million Palestinian residents in Egypt and Jordan, calling the area an 'Abrissbrache' or demolition zone.
- Trump has reportedly discussed the proposal with Jordan's King Abdullah II and plans to speak with Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi about accepting displaced Palestinians.
- The U.S. has authorized the delivery of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, a shipment previously withheld by the Biden administration due to concerns about civilian impact in Gaza.
- The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas faces challenges, with both sides accusing each other of violations, while protests in Israel demand the release of all remaining hostages.
- Trump's remarks and actions align with his broader realignment of U.S. foreign policy, including reversing Biden-era decisions and strengthening ties with Israel.
