Trump Jordan as ethnic cleansing asks to take Gaza residents from Egypt
The United States President Donald Trump says he would like to “clean” Gaza, urging Gaza and Jordan, to take more Palestinians than the coastal enclave.
Speaking with reporters at Board Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said that he had made a call before the day with King Abdullah II of Jordan and will talk with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi later on Sunday. .
“I would like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You are probably talking about one million and one and a half people, and we just clean the whole thing and say:” You know, it’s finished. “
Trump said that he appreciated Jordan for successfully accepting the Palestinian refugees and he told the king, “I will love to take more for you,” because I am looking at the entire Gaza Strip, and this one It is a real mess.
The massacre of Israel in Gaza displaced about 2.3 million people in Gaza, some of them several times. Trump said Gaza’s residents may be “temporarily or long -term”.
“This is truly a destruction site, almost everything has been demolished and people are dying there,” he said.
“So, I will connect with some Arab countries and build housing at a separate place, where they may probably live peacefully for a change.”
But the Associate Professor of History at the University of Georgetown in Qatar, Abdullah al-Ariane, told Al Jazira that Israeli officials indicated “very early during the war” that “ethnically pure” was possible as the Palestinian region.
“The scheme failed for several reasons, one of which is that Arab leaders were contacted at that time, just refused to take an additional Palestinian refugee population, as it was especially unattainable in Egypt. , Which was specially looted. A potential destination for a large ethnic cleaning of Palestinians from Gaza.
Al-Ariane said that Palestinians themselves would not be interested in such a proposal by Trump. He said, “They are well aware of what it means to leave their home and what the status of Palestinian refugees has seen for the last 70 years,” he said that the US President’s remarks should not be taken seriously. “.
Meanwhile, far-flung Israeli Finance Minister Bezelle Smotrich welcomed Trump’s view to transfer Gaza to Egypt and Jordan.
“The idea of helping them find other places to start a better life is a great idea. After the glorification of terrorism after years, they will be able to establish new and good lives at other places, ”Smotrich said in a statement.
He said, “Only out-of-the-box thinking with new solutions will bring a solution to peace and security,” he said.
“I will work with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet with the help of God to ensure that it is an operational plan to implement it as soon as possible.”
For Palestinians, any attempt to transfer them from Gaza is the massive displacement of Palestinians – “Naqba” or destruction – during the creation of Israel in 1948, will provoke its dark memories.
Egypt has previously warned Gaza against any “forcible displacement” of Palestinians, which al-Sisi said that the peace treaty signed with Israel in 1979 may endanger Egypt.
According to the United Nations, Jordan is already home to around 2.3 million registered Palestinian refugees.
Sending 2,000 pound bombs
Israel’s 15 -month war on Palestinian Enclave killed over 47,000 people, although residents and activists say that the actual toll could be very high. Tireless bombing has also left a lot in ruins, it will take several years to estimate the United Nations reconstruction.
However, Trump also stated that he has abolished his predecessor’s grip on sending 2,000 pounds (907 kg) bombs to Israel. Trump said about the bombs, “We released them today.” “They have been waiting for them for a long time.”
Asked why he bought those bombs, Trump replied, “Because he bought them.”
The then President Joe Biden had held the delivery of those bombs due to concerns over the impact on the civilian population.
According to the project of Defense Alternatives (PDA) in a 2,000 -pound bomb, the destruction of 35 meters (115 ft) is radius.
The US has historically provided adequate foreign aid to Israel; According to data from the US Agency for International Aid (USAID), a total of $ 297 billion (adjusted to inflation), $ 216BN, which was $ 81BN in military aid and $ 81BN in financial assistance between 1946 and 2023.
Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of American aid since its establishment.
A ceasefire in Gaza came into force a week ago and released some Israeli prisoners in exchange for Palestinian prisoners organized by Israel.
