DORAL, FLA. – President Donald Trump’s pressing to make Egypt and Jordan take a large number of Palestinian refugees from besieged gas, deal with the Aman government and puzzled an ally in Congress. However, Trump plans to discuss the idea more on Sunday with the leader of Egypt.
The struggle, which erupted in the territory after Hamas’s management attacked Israel in October 2023, was stopped due to a fragile ceasefire, but much of the gas population was left largely homeless by an Israeli military campaign. Trump told reporters on Saturday aboard the Air Force One that moving about 1.5 million Gaza people could mean that “we’re just cleaning that everything.”
Trump was betraying what he said to the King of Jordan Abdullah when the two had a call earlier on Saturday: “I told him:” I would be glad to take more because I am currently looking at the whole tape of gas and this is a mess. ”
The president said he would make a similar appeal to Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi during their conversation while Trump was in his Dorah in Florida resort. Trump said “would like Egypt to take people and I would like Jordan to take people.”
Egypt and Jordan, along with the Palestinians, worry that Israel will never allow them to return to Gaza after they leave.
Both Egypt and Jordan are constantly struggling with economies. Their two governments and other Arab countries are afraid of a large -scale destabilization of their own countries and the region of any such influx of refugees.
Jordan is now home to more than 2 million Palestinian refugees. Egypt warned of the consequences of the security of the transfer of a large number of Palestinians to the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt, bordering on gas.
Trump suggested that the relocation of the greater part of the gas population of 2.3 million can be temporary or long -term.
Jordan Ayman Safadi Foreign Minister said on Sunday that his country’s opposition to what Trump is sailing is “firm and unwavering.” Some Israeli officials had raised the idea at the beginning of the war.
Trump has a leverage to rule over Jordan, which is tied to debt but strategically important, an ally of the United States and is highly dependent on foreign assistance. The United States is historically the largest provider of this aid, including over $ 1.6 billion through the State Department in 2023.
Much of this comes as a support for Jordan’s security forces and direct budget support.
Jordan in return was a vital regional partner of the United States, trying to help maintain the region stable. Jordan hosts about 3,000 US troops. Still, on Friday, the new Secretary of State Marco Rubio released the security assistance of Israel and Egypt, but not to Jordan, when he stated details of freezing foreign aid that Trump ordered on his first day of service.
Meanwhile, in the United States, even Trump’s loyalists tried to make sense of his words.
“I really don’t know,” Senator Lindsay Graham said when he was asked about CNN’s “Union’s Status” about what Trump is referring to by the remark “Clean Out”. Graham, who is close to Trump, said the proposal was not possible.
“The idea that all Palestinians will leave and go somewhere else, I do not see that it is too practical,” said Graham, Rs.c. He said Trump should continue to speak with the Middle East leaders, including Saudi Arabic Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and officials in the United Arab Emirates.
“I don’t know what he’s talking about. But go to talk to MBS, go to talk to the UAE, go to talk to Egypt, “Graham said. “What is their Palestinian plan? Do they all want to leave? “
Trump, an unwavering Israeli supporter, also announced on Saturday that he directed the United States to launch 2000 pounds of Israel’s bombs. Former President Joe Biden imposed a detention over fears about their impact on Gaza’s civil population.
Egypt and Jordan have made peace with Israel, but support the creation of a Palestinian state on the occupied West Coast, Gaza and East Jerusalem, territories that Israel conquered in the middle war This is impossible.
By making his case for such a massive change in the population, Trump said Gaza is “literally a demolition site at the moment”.
“I prefer to get involved with some of the Arabic nations and build homes in a different place,” Trump told people displaced in gas. “Where maybe they can live in peace for change.”
