Donald Trump, the newly inaugurated U.S. President, has suggested that Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations take in more Palestinians fleeing Gaza. He described Gaza as a \"demolition site\" where \"almost everything is demolished and people are dying.\" Trump's proposal aims to relocate Palestinians to different regions where they can live in peace.
This comes as Israel's military operations in Gaza have led to a severe humanitarian crisis, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and displacing nearly the entire population. The conflict has also triggered a significant hunger crisis, with rights groups and humanitarian agencies voicing concerns over the dire situation in Gaza.
Last year, the U.S. administration opposed the forcible displacement of Palestinians, a stance that has drawn criticism amid the ongoing conflict. The White House has faced backlash for its support of Israel, although it maintains that its assistance is helping Israel defend against Iran-backed militant groups such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen.
As the crisis continues, many are watching how international leaders, including Trump, propose solutions to address the humanitarian needs of those affected in Gaza.
