Egypt and Jordan Respond to President Trump’s Gaza Plan
On January 25, President Donald Trump proposed that Egypt and Jordan aid in displacing and resettling the 1.8 million Palestinian refugees still living in Gaza. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing,” the President said at a rally in Las Vegas. On February 4, he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the Arab nations would not reject his plan—Trump threatened to withhold aid from the countries should they refuse to comply. The Palestinians would be grateful, he also claimed, to live somewhere "they can be happy and not be shot, not be killed," rather than remain in Gaza.
