Trump calls on Jordan and Egypt to accept Palestinian refugees to 'clean-out' Gaza

Washington: US President Donald Trump has urged Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries to accommodate more Palestinian refugees on their land who are fleeing the Gaza Strip. Trump has proposed a new start by almost completely vacating the war-torn region of Gaza. He also lifted Joe Biden’s ban on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. The moratorium was imposed to reduce civilian deaths in Gaza.
