Arab nations reject Trump's suggestion to relocate Palestinians to Egypt, Jordan

Powerful Arab nations rejected President Trump's suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Egypt and Jordan.

Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League released a joint statement rejecting any plans to move Palestinians out of their territories in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Mr. Trump told reporters last month that he would urge the leaders of Jordan and Egypt to take in Gaza's now largely homeless population and that moving some 1.5 million people away from Gaza might mean that "we just clean out that whole thing."
