Arab countries and Palestinian leaders have voiced strong opposition to Trump’s suggestion that the two million residents of Gaza move out after the devastating war.He said Trump’s controversial remarks were aimed in part to encourage other countries that “have both the economic and technological capacity” to help as well with rebuilding.
“President Trump has offered to go in and be a part of that solution,” Rubio told reporters in the Dominican Republic. “If some other countries are willing to step forward and do it themselves, that would be great, but no one seems to be rushing forward to do that,” he said.“We encourage them to step forward and find a solution and answer to their problem.” — AFP
