US president says he wants people to move to neighbouring nations, after resuming shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel
Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.
The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.
“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.
He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.
USA withheld weapon shipments under Biden, and according to white house staff Biden would regularly cuss out Netanyahu over the phone for harming civillians.
Whether you believe it or not, the Biden admin was constantly trying to negotiate ceasefire, but when they presented their deal with hostage release as a bargaining tool in the UN it got vetoed by Russia and China.
You mean the one UN ceasefire that was just to allow Israel to regroup and rearm not actually move towards peace? That was also what 5 ceasefire resolutions after all the ones USA vetoed?
not include provisions supporting ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire - an element of the U.S. resolution. Washington has been working with Qatar and Egypt to try to broker a deal.
jfc you're really acting like massive explosive ordinance shipments being halted doesn't have any impact so you can justify helping elect an actual genocidal fascist?
At this point it doesn't matter if we voted for Harris if we didn't support them and do everything in our power to convince everyone else to do the same.
Harris lost because she wasn't perfect and that is OUR faults for constantly complaining about them.
