“I’d like him to take people. I’d like Egypt to take people,” said Trump. “You’re talking about, probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, You know it’s, over.” Trump said that he complimented Jordan for accepting the Palestinian refugees, “I’d love for you to take on more, cause I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess,” adding that “it could be temporary or long term”.

Trump authorises delivery of heavy bombs to Israel

Trump, meanwhile, has also authorised the delivery of 2,000-pound heavy bombs to Israel, reversing a hold placed by Joe Biden, a Reuters report mentioned citing a White House source. The supply of heavy munitions had been paused by Biden, who expressed concerns over their potential impact on civilian populations.

Trump announced the policy shift via his Truth Social platform, stating, “A lot of things that were ordered and paid for by Israel, but have not been sent by Biden, are now on their way!”

What Biden said on heavy bombs

“Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centres. I made it clear that if they go into Rafah … I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, that deal with that problem,” Biden told CNN in May.

The conflict, which began with a Hamas assault on Israel in October 2023, has claimed thousands of lives. According to the Gaza health ministry, over 47,000 deaths have occurred in the region after Israel launched offensive in the region.
