President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu

Donald Trump has said that Palestinians have “no alternative” but to leave Gaza due to the devastation left by Israel’s war on Hamas, in effect endorsing ethnic cleansing of the territory over the opposition of Palestinians and the neighbouring countries.

Speaking as he prepared to host Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday, Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt – something both countries have firmly rejected.

Trump claimed Palestinians would “love to leave Gaza”, telling reporters: “I would think that they would be thrilled.”

    Trump is just saying the quiet part loud. The Democrats aren’t any different. The last 15 months of genocide proves this.

    Americans need to face facts, your country is a bloodthirsty empire that steals the resources, freedoms and conspires against oppressed people.

      I agree. But you’ll get attacked for saying things like that. Look at all the downvotes from people that are pro-genocide.

      I don’t think anyone in Palestine is fighting for freedom as most would understand it. They will be free from Israel but that population isn’t going to be free like Belgians are free.
