The Guardian reports that Trump says all Palestinians should move out of Gaza

False accusations happen

Is there anyone on this thread who agrees with Trump that all Palestinians should be moved out of Gaza?

I shouldn’t have thought so.

Did he say ‘moved out of Gaza never to return’ ?

Report on what he said

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/26/trump-resumes-sending-2000-pound-bombs-to-israel-undoing-biden-pause

However both Jordan and Egypt have refused. They already have tent cities with Palestinian refugees.

Trump says lots of things.
It doesn’t mean that anything he says will actually happen.

So Trump wants to divide the entire Gaza population between Egypt and Jordan.

Does anyone believe that they will ever be allowed to return?

This is unquestionably ethnic cleansing.

Trump even uses the term “cleansing”

I placed a link to Trump’s comment on Gaza, it was not the same as now posted in a link

Quote Anniebach Sun 26-Jan-25 18:41:18
He continued: “I don’t know, something has to happen, but it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished and people are dying there, so I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change.”
The president, a former property developer, said that the potential housing “could be temporary” or “could be long-term.”

This from page one

I’ve just seen a report on the BBC about a hostage called Elli whose wife and two daughters were killed by Hamas. His name is on the release list and so he should be released soon. His wife was English but they lived in Israel. His parents in law were being interviewed and they were saying they don’t know if he knows that his wife and daughters were murdered as he was taken hostage and they are obviously very apprehensive about revealing this news to an already traumatised released hostage. They are in Israel and have been cleaning up his house ready for his return. They spoke of cleaning the blood off the floor.

Another hostage who is said to be being released is the father of the two little red haired boys. It seems likely that his wife and two babies are now dead, as Hamas have said. He certainly will have no idea of the fate of his family as they were separated.

I would not like to be the person who had to give these men this news in either case. It is good news that hostages are being released, but so many of them will be being released to find out horrendous news about their families.

Egypt have clearly said they do not want the Palestinians.

Maddy if they have not been told they will be full of joy at the thought of being with their families again

Yes they will Annie.
They will already be traumatised and will be traumatised again by the terrible news.

Looking at the images of the hostage Arbel Yehud, a lone female, being paraded through a mob of howling men I was horrified. Talk about a medieval scene, and to think that hundreds of men like these are coming to live in the UK. These men do not respect women at all.

Those masked men are Palestinians, as the vast crowds around her,
they certainly do not look malnourished, did they take food aid but not share it with women and children

"“I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “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

Gaza’s population before the war was 2.3 million. Jordan, and Egypt have both made clear they will not take refugees from Gaza. On Sunday, the Jordanian foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, said his country’s rejection of any displacement of Palestinians was “firm and unwavering”.

Inside Gaza there is little sign that people who have endured over 15 months of fighting want to leave permanently in large numbers if a current ceasefire holds. Forced displacement of residents would be a war crime".

I don't agree Wyllow because if they are I don't believe for one moment that they would be allowed to return.

The released hostage. Emili Damari has-said she was detained
for some time in UN facilities

In a statement, Unrwa said claims that hostages had been held on UN premises were "very serious" and that it had repeatedly called for independent investigations into claims Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas, were misusing the facilities.

I’ve just seen that report by the BBC Annie.
I’m afraid it does suggest that UN employees were also working for Hamas.

The UN has been sustaining Hamas from the start, we see now just how fanatical their control over Gaza is, while Hamas is in control there won’t be peace

The UN is facilitating that.

When a GN member posted that the UN along with UNWRA were complicit in assisting Hamas on here months ago they were derided.

Hamas are dangerous, they are cowards, their tentacles stretch far and wide.

It was horrific for her and horrific to see. My heart went out to her.

She must have been terrified or past caring , the very thought of being surrounded by such hatred , I pray she will/can be healed.

GrannyGravy yes Hamas are dangerous for the world

Anniebach

Are watchers named ?

At least one of them has.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/01/israels-female-spotters-are-free-now-their-families-want-to-know-why-warnings-were-ignored

Tragically, the first one named in the article was killed, but another one has just been released. The families want the truth.

No, hundreds of men like these are NOT coming to live in the UK.
