US President Donald Trump has called on Jordan and Egypt to take in Palestinians from war-ravaged Gaza, stating that the area should be 'cleared out'. Trump made the suggestion following a call with Jordan's King Abdullah, describing Gaza as a 'demolition site' where 'people are dying'. Thousands of Palestinians remain blocked from returning to northern Gaza after Israel accused Hamas of breaching a ceasefire agreement.
Donald Trump has said Jordan and Egypt should take in Palestinians from war-ravaged Gaza . The US president called on the two nations to take in people either temporarily or permanently, adding: 'We should just clear out the whole thing.' 'It's literally a demolition site, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there,' he told reporters after a call with Jordan's King Abdullah.
However, not long after the Israeli female soldiers were released on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would not allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza until civilian hostage Arbel Yehud was released. Israel had reportedly demanded she be on the list of the hostages released yesterday. However, she was not included by Hamas. It is thought she might be held by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another militant group in the Gaza Strip.
