President Donald Trump has suggested that Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations should accept a large influx of Palestinian refugees from Gaza, potentially relocating enough to effectively 'clean out' the war-torn area. Trump envisions this as a way to create a fresh start for the region, stating that Gaza is 'a mess' and 'a demolition site'. He believes that rebuilding in a different location could allow for a more peaceful future.
President Donald Trump wants Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations to take in far more Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a virtual clean slate.
President Donald Trump speaks to reporters aboard Air Force One as he travels from Las Vegas to Miami.Speaking about the effects of Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, Trump said he complimented Jordan for having successfully accepted Palestinian refugees and that he told the king, “I’d love for you to take on more, ’cause I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.

Gaza’s location is “phenomenal” and has the “best weather”, Trump added. “Beautiful things could be done over there, fantastic things.”He continued: “You certainly can’t have the people that were there. Most of them are dead. But they didn’t exactly run it well. They run viciously and badly. You can’t have that.
