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.”

    No alternative but to leave, OK great so which country is going to give up their land so the Palestinians can have a big enough place to call their own country?

        There’s a reason no one lives in fucking Wyoming. Why should they move from their seaside country to middle of nowhere Wyoming?

        Let’s move them to Florida’s South East Coast. There’s hardly anyone important there, and we can just relocate the people there a bit further inland.

          Send them to a place where the land is going to be underwater? Florida will be nothing in the near future. Fine south and north Dakota, just not on native American land.
