US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his proposal to “clean out” Gaza by removing Palestinians living there to Jordan and Egypt, a plan which has appalled some allies but has been quickly embraced by Israel’s far right.

Trump floated the idea on Saturday, saying he would urge the leaders of the two Arab countries to take in Gaza’s now largely homeless population, so that “we just clean out that whole thing.”

An idea floated by US President Donald Trump to move Gazans to Egypt or Jordan faced a renewed backlash Tuesday as hundreds of thousands of Gazans displaced by the Israel-Hamas

Donald Trump said that, under his preferred vision, the resettling of the Palestinians from Gaza, after it's "cleaned out," could be "temporary or long term.”

The Palestinian population must not be expelled from Gaza, the German foreign ministry said on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump said Jordan and Egypt should take in Palestinians.
