On Monday, President Donald Trump of the United States of America threatened to withhold aid from Egypt and Jordan if they refuse to take in refugees from Gaza.

Trump insisted that these countries should take Palestinian refugees to assist him in his plan to repurpose the Gaza Strip.

If they don’t agree, I would conceivably withhold aid.

Considering his construction plans, Trump called the Gaza a real estate development.

The Hamas group stated that Gaza is not a commodity to be bought or sold. This statement followed Hamas’s announcement that it was halting the planned release of Israeli hostages.

However, Trump said he would have the ceasefire agreement revoked if Hamas refuses to release the Israeli hostages as scheduled.

As far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday 12 o’clock , I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out.

In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Trump mentioned that Palestinians would not be allowed to return to Gaza but would get better housing in neighbouring countries such as Egypt and Jordan.

When asked if the Palestinians would eventually return to Gaza after his proposed construction projects were finished, he replied, “No, they wouldn’t.”
