Trump: It's Hell to Live in Gaza

USA's President Donald Trump will receive Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday for talks about the war in Gaza. And the two smiled broadly when they met the press before the meeting. It is when Israel and the USA cooperate, when President Trump and I cooperate, that the chances increase and increase, said Israel's Prime Minister.

In front of an open fire at the White House, Trump repeated earlier statements that the Gazans should permanently leave the strip and become refugees in a "beautiful place" in Egypt or Jordan.

It's impossible to live in Gaza now. We should find somewhere they can be happy. A beautiful place, where they're not killed or shot or stabbed, he said, as the Israeli Prime Minister nodded in agreement.

It's hell to live there, Trump continued, wondering why anyone would want to return there.

He also claimed that Saudi Arabia no longer demands a two-state solution, something Riyadh itself says it wants to see.

No, they don't, said Trump.

Everyone demands the same thing, peace.

The US formally advocates for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but Trump wavered on the issue.

Many plans change over time, he said.

And if Egypt and Jordan say no to the plans to move the Palestinians? asked the reporters at the White House.

I don't think they'll do that. They won't say no to me, maybe to Joe Biden, but not to me.

Netanyahu said he believed in Trump as the one who solves the crisis.

It's when Israel and the US cooperate, when President Trump and I cooperate, that the chances increase and increase.
