Trump to Supply 2,000 lbs Bombs to Israel while Relocating Palestinians

President Donald Trump recently, during a 20-minute question-and-answer session Saturday aboard Air Force One, said that he would like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab states take in Palestinian refugees to potentially "just clean out" Gaza, creating a clean territory for Israel.

He told reporters during the Q&A that he has ended President Biden's hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to assist Israel in the conflict. The Associated Press claimed the initiative somehow "lifts a pressure point meant to reduce civilian casualties."

"We released them today," said Trump of the relocation. "They've been waiting for them for a long time." A reporter asked why he decided to do the release against former President Joe Biden's wishes, to which he responded, "Because they bought them."

In his second administration, Trump became a fervent Zionist, which has sent a red flag among faithful MAGA America First supporters. His relation to Israel is now evidently tied to his political aspirations after racking hundreds of millions in campaign funds from Zionist Jews, as reported by Track AIPAC and The Times of Israel.

He is believed to have a more optimistic view of Gaza and plans to talk to King Abdullah of Jordan on Sunday. He has also sent an open invitation to President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt, who has not yet responded.

“I’d like Egypt to take people, and I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people; we just clean out that whole thing."

Jordan's foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, reportedly said he was "firm and unwavering" on accepting any refugees from Palestine. To add to it, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority condemned Trump's idea.

The AP notes that Palestinian identity and its deep connections to Gaza are not being considered in the least. Still, Trump is determined to displace the Palestinians either for the "temporary or long term." That is if he can even muster up support from other Arab leaders.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement Sunday, thanking Trump for keeping his "promise to give Israel the tools it needs to defend itself." He ignored any of Trump's relocation ideas for the Palestinian refugees and has not commented further.

On CNN's "State of the Union," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, disagreed with Trump's refugee resettlement plan, saying it's not "overly practical" and that the president should pursue talking further with Mideast leaders, like Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, along with officials from the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.

I don’t know what he’s talking about. But go talk to MBS, go talk to UAE, go talk to Egypt. .. What is their plan for the Palestinians? Do they want them all to leave?

Trump had announced after he was inaugurated possible options for Gaza, hoping to rebuild. He had called Gaza "a phenomenal location on the sea" with "the best weather." Trump added, "Some beautiful things could be done with it."

However, the president's decision to end the arms embargo on with Israel could result in a continued all-out assault on the southern Gaza City of Rafah. Biden warned of this by halting the shipment of 1,700 500-pound bombs to Israel.

The former president told CNN in May, "Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population center." He added, "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 ..."

The AP reported that Trump has so far initiated the first phase of a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, resulting in not only a pause in the fighting but a release of hostages by Hamas for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

The second phase will call for the release of all prisoners, which puts a tall order on the president, especially as negotiations have not begun between the warring factions. Israel has added additional pressure by threatening to resume its purge of Gaza if the remaining hostages are not released.
