Palestinians in Gaza have defiantly responded to a claim by US President Donald Trump that they should leave the enclave and live somewhere else, The National reported on January 27th.

In his comments on Air Force One, Trump suggested that Gaza be “cleaned out” and that its people should receive housing in Egypt or Jordan “temporarily” or possibly on a “long-term” basis.

29-year-old Gaza resident, Ali Hassouna, said: “The sight of people returning to their homeland is a powerful message, particularly in response to Trump.”

Hassouna added: “These individuals are fully aware that they are returning to rubble and destruction, yet they insist on sending a clear message to the world: when you have a rightful claim to something, no one – neither America nor Israel – can take it away.”
