Donald Trump has said that Palestinians have “no alternative” but to leave Gaza due to the devastation left by Israel’s war on Hamas, in effect endorsing ethnic cleansing of the territory over the opposition of Palestinians and the neighbouring countries.

Speaking as he prepared to host Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday, Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt – something both countries have firmly rejected.

Trump claimed Palestinians would “love to leave Gaza”, telling reporters: “I would think that they would be thrilled.”

    Just because I’m far inferior to you doesn’t make it okay to insult me. Especially when it’s an insult about something that isn’t true and there are far more actual terrible things you could insult me over.

    I mean if you’re determined to insult me, at least do it over something I deserve.

    I can help you out, if you’d like.
