Trump confirms that he will meet in Washington with Netanyahu “very soon”
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said Monday that he will meet “very soon” in Washington with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamín Netanyahu, and reiterated his idea that the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip move to Egypt and Jordan, even suggesting that the leaders of these countries could accept the proposal.
Trump made these statements to the press aboard the presidential plane Air Force One while returning to Washington after participating in a meeting of the Republican party in Florida. When journalists asked him when he planned to see Netanyahu, Trump just replied: “Very soon.” Israeli media like The Times of Israel They report that Netanyahu seeks to meet with Trump at the White House next week, which would mean the first visit of a foreign leader to the presidential residence in the new mandate of the Republican.
Trump insisted on the idea he had already mentioned on Saturday, when he said he had talked to the king of Jordan, Abdalá II, about the possibility of building homes and moving a million gazatis to neighboring Arab countries. On Monday, the president explained that he had also addressed the matter with his Egyptian counterpart, Abdelfatá to the Sisi, and that he expressed his desire to achieve “peace in the Middle East.”
“I wish you accept some,” Trump said in reference to Sisi, and added: “We have helped them a lot and I’m sure he would help us. He is my friend. It is in a very complicated area of the world, to be honest, a difficult region, as they say. But I think I would do it, and I think the king of Jordan would do it too. ”
The president insisted that he would like the Gazatis to live “without interruptions, without revolution and without violence.” “I think it could be achieved in much safer areas, perhaps better and more comfortable,” he said.
Although Trump sees viable the possibility that Jordan and Egypt accept the Gazati, both countries have rejected this option for decades, and the Palestinians themselves oppose to abandon their land. (EFE)
