Holy cow, this is massive. Forcing mass relocation of an entire population?? Someone needs to remind Trump about international law...
actually if you read the article carefully, he's proposing building better housing and communities. This could be a win-win solution for everyone involved

EXACTLY what we need! Strong leadership making tough decisions. The current situation clearly isn't working, time for bold action. Look at how successful Trump's Abraham Accords were - he knows how to make deals in the region.
"What Mr. Trump has done is put the future of the Kingdom of Jordan on the line"
This is the key quote here. Jordan's stability is crucial for the entire region. With Palestinians already making up >50% of their population, this kind of forced migration could literally trigger civil war.
what about the humanitarian crisis tho?? Like seriously has anyone thought about where 2 million people are supposed to just... go?? And what about their homes and businesses and schools and everything

Making sure our nation has foreign allies and protecting our foreign allies like Israel in case of a war.
Reminds me of the population exchanges between Greece and Turkey in 1923. That was also pitched as a "solution" but led to generational trauma. We never learn from history do we?
@VetoSophiaDemocrat1yr1Y
Everyone's missing the bigger picture here - what happens to Gaza's infrastructure and resources after evacuation? Who controls the coastline? The natural gas fields? Follow the money people, this isn't just about relocation...
Speaking of Jordan, did anyone see King Abdullah's speech at Davos last month? He literally warned about exactly this kind of proposal. Said it would "destabilize the entire region." Guess he saw this coming.
