Washington − According to excerpts from his interview with Fox News released on Monday, President Donald Trump stated that Palestinians would not have the right to return to Gaza under his proposal to redevelop the enclave and would have a permanent place to live elsewhere.
He added that he believes he can reach an agreement with Jordan and Egypt to take the displaced Palestinians.
When asked if Palestinians would have the right to return, Trump responded, “No, they wouldn’t because they’d have much better housing,” according to a transcript of the interview released by Fox.
“I’m talking about constructing a permanent residence for them because if they have to return now, it will be years before you can—it’s uninhabitable. It would take years before it could happen.
“I believe I can make a deal with Jordan. I believe I can make a deal with Egypt. You know, we give them billions and billions of dollars every year,” Trump said.
