“I would like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.'”

“I would love for you to take on more, ‘cause I am looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.”

“It is literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there,” he said.

“So, I would rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

Here's the video. He even claims that the conflict of Israel-Palestine has gone on for centuries.

Journalist: Could you tell us about your call with the King of Jordan today please?

Trump: It was a very good call. He's a friend of mine. I know him very well. I've gotten along over the years very well and he's done a wonderful job. He really houses, you know, millions of Palestinians and he does it in a very humane way-- and uh I compliment him on that but he really... Jordan has done an amazing job of housing largely Palestinians and he's done it in a very successful--

Journalist: What was the subject of discussion? Was it-- ?

Trump: Pretty much that 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.

Journalist: You'd like Jordan to house people from Gaza?

Trump: I'd like him to take people -- I'd like Egypt to take people and meeting with talking to uh General Sisi tomorrow sometime I believe and uh I'd like Egypt to take people and I'd like Jordan to take people. I could-- I mean you're talking about probably a million and a half people and we just clean out that whole thing. It's you know, it's over the centuries that's had many, many conflicts at that site and I don't know it's something has to happen but uh it's-- It's literally a demolition site right now almost everything's demolished and people are dying there. So 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 for change.

Journalist: Temporarily or is it long term?

Trump: Could be either it could be temporarily could be long term go ahead

"you're talking about probably a million and a half people"

2.2 million in 2023, so you know, getting close to acknowledging how many people Israel has murdered.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
