President Donald Trump outlined an extraordinary plan for peace in the Middle East, in which more than a million people from Gaza, where a devastating war had put the Palestinian enclave in ruins, had to move to Huizen in Jordan and Egypt.
“You're talking about one and a half million people, and we just clean up that whole thing,” he told DailyMail.com on board the presidential aircraft Air Force One.
It was unclear if he meant that everyone had to get out. But the idea will immediately be controversial and the Arab fear for a conspiracy to give Palestinian country to Israel.
But Trump, once a real estate magnate, saw the solution for the conflict in the region in construction and country, as he described a telephone conversation with the Jordanian King Abdullah earlier in the day.
He said he had asked him to include more Palestinian refugees from a region that was engaged at war.
'You know that there have been many conflicts over the centuries. And I don't know, something has to happen, “he said in response to the questions of DailyMail.com during a twenty-minute question and answer session in the presidential plane with his traveling presspool.
“It is literally a demolition site, almost everything is being demolished and people die, so I would rather get involved in a number of Arab countries and build homes in another location where they might live for the change in peace.”
He said that during their conversation on Sunday he will make the same request to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.

Trump wants to expel more than a million people from Gaza, where a devastating war has put the Palestinian enclave in ruins. On the photo, Palestinians, who were driven to southern Gaza during the war by command from Israel, were waiting for their tent while waiting for permission to return to their house in northern Gaza, amid a stopping Fire between Israel and Hamas.
“You're talking about one and a half million people, and we just clean up that whole thing,” he told DailyMail.com on board the presidential jet aircraft Air Force One.
“I would like Egypt to bring people,” he said. “And I would like Jordan to take people with him.”
Trump said it can be a temporary solution, but also a longer term. But anyway, the plan will probably be difficult to sell to the Arab neighboring countries of Israel, who are reluctant to record more refugees, and difficult to sell to the population of Gaza, who fears that they will never be able to return.
Speaking of the consequences of Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza, Trump said that he complimented Abdullah with the fact that he has already housed many Palestinian refugees.
'I would like you to take more on you, because I am now looking at the entire Gaza Strip and it is a mess. It's a real mess. “
After a speech in Rally style in Las Vegas, Nevada, the president spoke, where he thanked voters for their help in winning the state in the November elections.
On Friday he visited disaster areas in North Carolina and California again at the office after a busy first week.
He defended his decision to dismiss more than a dozen Inspector General, which act as watchdogs of the government.

Critics called it a purification on Friday evening, but Trump portrayed it as a routine cleaning by a new government.
“I don't know them … but some people thought some people were unfair, others did not do their work and that it is very standard to do,” he told the reporters on board his plane.
“Just like the American lawyers.”
He also hinted that Saudi Arabia could be the destination for his first foreign journey.
“It could be Saudi Arabia, it could be Great Britain,” he said.
'Traditionally it could be Great Britain. The last time I went to Saudi Arabia because they agreed to buy $ 450 billion in American merchandise. “
