US president says he wants people to move to neighbouring nations, after resuming shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel
The US president, 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.
Trump said that he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that their displacement could be “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.
