President Trump said he had spoken to Jordan’s leader and planned to call Egypt’s. Mr. Trump’s suggestion echoes proposals from far-right Israelis. A Hamas official rejected the idea.
Jordanian officials have immediately rejected President Trump’s proposal to “clean out” Gaza by sending more than a million Palestinian refugees to Jordan and Egypt. Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said Sunday that the kingdom in Amman condemns Trump’s plan and that under no condition would it accept the Palestinians displaced by more than 15 months of war with Israel.
President Donald Trump said he wants Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations to accept more Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip, saying he would like to "just clean out" the area.

US President Donald Trump's proposal to uproot Gazans to Egypt and Jordan is a "hostile" move against the two US allies and aims to "liquidate the Palestinian cause", Jordanian analysts told AFP. The US leader on Saturday floated an idea to "clean out" Gaza after more than 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas had reduced the Palestinian territory to a "demolition site".

President Trump has urged Jordan and Egypt to accept more Palestinian refugees as Gaza suffers from the continued Israel-Hamas conflict. He spoke with Jordan's King Abdullah II and plans discussions with Egypt's President el-Sisi.
Israel said Palestinians could begin returning to the north of the war-battered Gaza Strip on Monday after a deal was reached with Hamas for the release of another six hostages, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.
