Milan, January 28 (LaPresse) – U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his desire for Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza, suggesting they would fare better in a place not "associated with violence."

"I would like to relocate them to an area where they can live without upheaval, revolutions, and violence," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. "When you look at the Gaza Strip, it’s been hell for so many years," he added. "There have been various civilizations in that strip. It didn’t start here. It started thousands of years earlier, and violence has always been associated with it. You could relocate people to areas that are much safer and perhaps much better and maybe far more comfortable."
