Hawzah News Agency- CAIR also said that the only way to achieve a just, lasting peace is to end the Israeli apartheid government’s occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people.

While talking with reporters on Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said he spoke to King Abdullah II of Jordan and planned to speak Sunday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. Trump told the reporters: “I’d like him to take people. I’d like Egypt to take people. You’re talking about, probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know it’s, over.’”

In a statement, CAIR said:

“President Trump needs to stop pursuing an Israel-First foreign policy and start pursuing an America-First foreign policy. The idea of ethnically cleansing over a million Palestinians from Gaza is delusional and dangerous nonsense. The Palestinian people are not willing to abandon Gaza, and neighboring countries are not willing to help Israel ethnically cleanse Gaza. If President Trump is serious about making some sort of grand peace deal in the Middle East, he needs to get serious and get serious fast. The only way to achieve a just, lasting peace is to force the Israeli government to end its occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people.”

CAIR also condemned the Trump administration’s decision to transfer 2,000-pound bombs to the government of indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump yesterday announced that he had lifted a Biden administration’s hold on the destructive weapons, saying, “We released them today and they’ll have them. They paid for them and they’ve been waiting for them for a long time.”

Israel has slaughtered at least 47,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, likely killed hundreds of thousands according to medical journals like The Lancet, has destroyed the vast majority of Gaza’s civilian and medical infrastructure, forcibly displaced almost the entire population, and has imposed forced starvation in the areas it has invaded.
