ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE/WASHINGTON/MIAMI –
U.S. President Donald Trump floated a plan Saturday to “just clean out” Gaza, and said he wants Egypt and Jordan to take Palestinians from the territory in a bid to create Middle East peace.
Describing Gaza as a “demolition site” after the war between Israel and Hamas, Trump said he had spoken to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about the issue and expected to talk to Egypt’s leader on Sunday.
“I’d like Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
