It's literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there," added Trump. "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 a change."

If Israel wasn't hell bent on stopping the creation of Palestine, there could be peace in Gaza and the West bank. Regardless, Gaza is going to be rebuilt and the only way to ensure the land is not stolen by Israel is for Palestinians to remain firmly in Gaza.

Trump needs to be setting about to get support for the creation of a Palestinian sovereign state. Without it, there wont ever be a lasting peace in the Middle east, no matter where you try to resettle Palestinians outside of their homeland.

It does not get more evil than this. Welcome to Trump 2.0. All you USA lovers MAGA MAGA MAGA.

Doesn't matter what he does, the faithful will squeal about what a genius he is.

"I have sent Israel enough weaponry to remove Palestine from the map" "He's a genius!"

"I propose giving super soakers to Palestinian children and enlisting them to fight": "He's a genius!"

"I'm going to rename Palestine as New Texas" : "'He's a genius!"

"I'm going to call Macaroni in France and have him send the gendarmes to Gaza to make paper planes": "He's a genius!"

All he's saying is give peace a chance.

Both Egypt and Jordan have rejected Trump's suggestion. The Palestinians will remain in Gaza and the West Bank. Trump has no end game for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Ah, yes, the nobel peace prize laureate has more to offer the world.

I would say this won't go over well with Trump's buddy MBS, but let's be honest, nobody really cares that much about the Palestinians.

"Clean it out"...

Sounds like he's going to inject all the Gazans with bleach...

Trump has no end game for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Unless he can come up with one which will make him a ton of money.

Trump confirmed on Saturday that he had ordered the Pentagon to release a shipment of 2,000-lb bombs for Israel which was blocked by his predecessor Biden.

Another Biden mis step. The threat of these types of bombs alone would have altered the course of the conflict long ago. 

But some extreme-right members of the Israeli government have publicly supported the idea of Gazans leaving the Palestinian territory en masse.

It might be for the best possibly. The two peoples obviously cannot get along, fighting for now for a very long time.

Iran will soon be broke. Other regions in the middle east should step up to work to stabalize the region.

Iran will soon be broke

On the contrary: they can sell all of the oil they want to China because of the Trump snapback failure.

No he has played the trump card, 2,000lb bombs now to be released to Israel, for use where?? T.G. could you please produce a better anagram than new texas. and of course, the ex-colonial master of Palestine is hiding away, unless they have to become the54/55/61st state. I Leave it to you US and Taiwanese guys to sort out, it will affect your taxes way more than mine.

Trump is entirely correct. It is the only solution. Otherwise on it goes for decades more. Egypt and Jordan don’t want the Palestinians though. No one wants them, they create trouble wherever they go.

And there you have it, the Zionist plan from day one. Clear Gaza of non Jews so Jews and only Jews can have the land. All with the support of the world's super power.

And Trump says this will lead to peace? Radical Islamists will know who the enemy is.

-1 ( +8 / -9 )

Gaza is 5% of the land area of historical Palestine.

Palestinian people were driven into this area by Israeli military campaigns.

To now reward Israel with this land is a war crime.

“Trump's son-in-law and former White House employee Jared Kushner suggested in February that Israel empty Gaza of civilians to unlock the potential of its "waterfront property."

Ouch. That’s not a good look.

All with the support of the world's super power.

For now. The next president will be Democrat and he will reverse Trumps policies including reiterating the two state solution. So when you say "with the support of the worlds superpower" it is limited to Trumps term only.

Many Americans if not a majority, support a two state solution to peace in the middle east.

"You're talking about probably a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”

Now maga have to defend ethnic cleansing. Good luck with that.

The inhabitants of Gaza have had many opportunities for peaceful coexistence, with multiple concessions and peace agreements offered over the years. Unfortunately, these opportunities have often been rejected in favor of violence and bloodshed. There seems to be a disregard for the well-being of their children. It raises the question of why others should continue to invest in their future if they do not prioritize it themselves. Many in the region adhere to an ideology that sees martyrdom as a path to reward in the afterlife.

It is important to note that the Palestinians, as a group, are largely descendants of migrant workers who arrived around 100 years ago from surrounding territories to participate in the economic growth brought by Jewish repatriates to the historically Jewish land. Just as Jews, expelled from countries they lived in for millennia, were repatriated to Israel, so too should the descendants of these Arab migrant workers be resettled elsewhere. The myth of a distinct "Palestinian" nation was largely created by the PLO for political purposes.

I fully support the proposal to resettle the so-called Palestinians in other countries, particularly those that have long expressed concern for their plight. This could provide them with a chance for a better future, away from the violence and destruction. If the international community truly cares about the welfare of the Palestinian people, they should help facilitate their resettlement. Otherwise, the Israeli defense forces may have no choice but to take matters into their own hands, potentially leading to an outcome that could bring resolution for all involved.

Trump said he had spoken to Jordan's King Abdullah II about the issue and expected to talk to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Sunday.

i mean, can we at least hear what we said by both sides and if anything agreed in these talks before posters start screaming “that can’t happen!” and “genocide”?

involve genocide.

i heard “moving”. Is that genocide now?

No, thats ethnic cleansing. The genocide is what was happening over the past twelve months.

Two state solution is the only one that leads to peace.

Now that Israel has made Gaza uninhabitable then where are the Gazans to live?

Trump is right-a clean and habitable area is what is needed.
