Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump has said that Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinian refugees from Gaza to "clean out" the area, which has been converted into a demolition site due to the Israel-Hamas war.
Trump spoke with King Abdullah II of Jordan on this matter on Saturday and plans to talk with the Egyptian leader as well.
Trump said that his call with Abdullah II was very good.
"He's a friend of mine. I know him very well. I've gotten along with him over the years very well. He's done a wonderful job. He really houses, you know, millions of Palestinians, and he does it in a very humane way. I compliment him on that,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One.
“I said to him, I'd love you to take on more (Palestinian people from Gaza). I'm looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it's a mess. I'd like him to take people. I'd like Egypt to take people,” he said.
Trump said that he was looking to talk to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Sunday.
“I'd like Egypt to take people. I'd like Jordan to take people. You're talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing. Over the centuries that says many, many conflicts inside. Something has to happen," Trump said.
"It is literally a demolition site right now, almost everything's demolished, and people are dying there. I'd rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace,” he said.
The president said that the potential housing “could be temporary” or “could be long term.”
