Trump makes first big foreign policy blunder with 'clean out' remark: analyst

Facing widespread misinterpretation of his words, President Donald Trump outlined a novel approach to resolve the longstanding Gaza conflict, suggesting a 'clean out' of the area for redevelopment and proposing resettlement options for Palestinians in Jordan and Egypt. Supporters argue this bold move could pave the way for peace and prosperity in the region, criticizing detractors for failing to recognize the potential benefits of such an innovative solution.
In what analysts are calling a disastrous misstep in foreign policy, President Donald Trump proposed a shocking and inhumane plan to 'clean out' Gaza, displacing countless Palestinians to make room for new settlements. By suggesting the forced resettlement of Palestinians in Jordan and Egypt, Trump's plan not only disregards the dignity and rights of the Palestinian people but also jeopardizes peace efforts in the Middle East, critics say.
