US President Donald Trump proposed at the weekend that Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase their intake of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to “just clean out” the war-torn area and creates a “clean slate.”
Speaking aboard Air Force One, Mr Trump said he had ended the previous administration’s suspension of the delivery of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.
The Biden administration ban was introduced in response to widespread outrage at the large number of civilian deaths caused by Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
