Donald Trump, the President of the United States, reiterated his idea that Palestinians residing in the Gaza Strip should move to Egypt and Jordan. A reporter at the White House on Thursday, February 11, asked Trump whether the President of Egypt and the King of Jordan had stated that they would not accept Gaza Palestinians, and whether he would take specific actions, such as imposing tariffs, to ensure those countries would accept Gaza residents. Trump emphatically responded, "They will do it (accept Gaza residents). They will do it." The U.S. President further explained, implicitly stating why these two countries would accept Gaza residents, saying that the United States is doing a lot for these two countries, and for that reason, they will accept Gaza residents. The terrorist group Hamas announced on Monday, February 8, that over 300,000 Palestinian refugees returned to northern Gaza following a permit issued by the Israeli army. A few days earlier, Donald Trump, referring to the extensive destruction in the Gaza Strip and the difficult situation of its residents, said he preferred to build housing for them in "another place" with the participation of Arab governments so they could live differently in peace. He described Gaza as a "real ruin." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet and discuss with Donald Trump at the White House next week. The special envoy of Donald Trump met with Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the release of three Israeli hostages and five Thais in exchange for 110 Palestinian prisoners.
