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.”

      Yeah. You can’t conduct yourself in a discussion without aggressive hostilities, and I’m the troll. I’m assuming this is your way of getting moderators to nuke the entire discussion? I’ve been as polite as the rules suggest.

      I’ve simply asked you a yes or no question that you’re blowing up the discussion as a distraction to get out of answering.

      Did you vote?

      Again. It’s a simple question.
