How Arab countries are responding to Trump's 'clean out' Gaza remarks to expel Palestinians - DW News



On Saturday, US President Trump suggested that Palestinians be expelled from the Gaza Strip to "clean out" the territory. Trump called the Gaza Strip a "demolition site" and that ethnically cleansing Palestinians from the enclave could be a temporary or a long-term arrangement. President Trump said he had spoken to Jordanian King Abdullah about Jordan taking in Palestinians, and that he would speak to Egyptian President el-Sissi on Sunday for Egypt to do the same. Trump's "clean out" remarks have stirred controversy, as any forced expulsion of Palestinians would violate international law and jeopardize the creation of a Palestinian state.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s former White House adviser and his son-in-law, praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property,” suggesting that Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the area.

“Gaza’s waterfront property, it could be very valuable, if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” Kushner said in an interview dated Feb. 15, posted earlier this month on the YouTube channel of the Middle East Initiative, a program of Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, and reported first on Tuesday by The Guardian. “If you think about all the money that’s gone into this tunnel network and into all the munitions, if that would have gone into education or innovation, what could have been done?”

“It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but I think from Israel’s perspective, I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner added. “But I don’t think that Israel has stated that they don’t want the people to move back there afterwards.”

Arab American voters who helped Trump win must feel like damn fools.

An example of the stupidity of voting for Trump.
