President Trump mentioned that Palestinians in Gaza have “no alternative” but to leave their homes after the Israel-Hamas war left the area in rubble. Trump suggested that they would be better off moving to neighboring countries such as Egypt or Jordan, a proposal that has already been rejected by those countries. This statement has been criticized by Hamas and others as a recipe for chaos and tension in the region. The comments were made prior to a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.
The discussion between Trump and Netanyahu is expected to include topics such as defeating Hamas, the Iranian threat, and efforts to bring peace to Israel and its neighbors. Netanyahu has defended Israel’s actions during the war, which has led to international condemnation. The two leaders are expected to discuss the next phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, including rebuilding Gaza, a process that is expected to take up to 15 years due to the extensive damage and lack of utilities in the region.
The meeting between Trump and Netanyahu marks the first foreign leader meeting for Trump since the start of his second term. The two leaders have had a strained relationship in the past but appeared to have reconciled during a visit to Trump’s Florida residence in July. Netanyahu’s visit to the White House is significant for Israel and demonstrates the strength of the alliance between the two countries.
