US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his proposal to “clean out” Gaza by removing Palestinians living there to Jordan and Egypt, a plan which has appalled some allies but has been quickly embraced by Israel’s far right.

President Trump said he had spoken to Jordan’s leader and planned to call Egypt’s on Sunday. Most of Gaza’s two million residents have been displaced in 15 months of fighting.

President Trump said he had spoken to Jordan’s leader and planned to call Egypt’s. Mr. Trump’s suggestion echoes proposals from far-right Israelis. A Hamas official rejected the idea.

President Donald Trump said he wants Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations to accept more Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip, saying he would like to "just clean out" the area.

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,’” he says

President-elect Donald Trump proposed a controversial plan aboard Air Force One: to relocate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Egypt and Jordan, suggesting it could bring stability to the region.

President Trump said he would like to see other nations, like Jordan and Egypt, take in Palestinian refugees to “clean out” the area.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a call with Jordan's King Abdullah on Monday, the State Department said, with the call coming two days after a suggestion by President Donald Trump that Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from Gaza.

Trump said he would like to see Jordan, Egypt, other Arab nations increase number of Palestinian refugees they accept.

Palestinian refugees are being allowed to reenter areas of Gaza amid a ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas as White House officials are considering a plan to move them somewhere safer.

On Saturday, Trump ordered the U.S. to resume shipments of the 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. In May, Biden halted the shipments, claiming at the time that the weapons were being used in areas with high concentrations of civilians, leading to civilian deaths.

Trump also said he's ended his predecessor’s hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, which Biden had implemented out of concern for civilian casualties in Gaza.
