Trump reiterates wish to move Gazans to Egypt, Jordan

US President Donald Trump on Monday reiterated his desire to move Palestinians out of Gaza and said he believes Egypt or Jordan would help him.

The president on Saturday said the region should be "cleaned out" of Palestinians, a proposal rejected by both countries. Asked about those comments, Trump told reporters Monday evening that he would "want them to live in a place without violence. Gaza has been hell for so many years. They can live in much better and more comfortable areas".

"You know, when you look at the Gaza Strip, it's been hell for so many years... there's always been violence associated with it," Trump said.

"I’ve helped him [el-Sisi] a lot and I hope he’ll help us. I think he’ll do it [take in Palestinians] and the king of Jordan will do it too," he added.
