TURKEY SLAMS TRUMP’S PROPOSAL TO RELOCATE GAZANS TO EGYPT AND JORDAN

Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan has voiced his country’s strong opposition to US President Donald Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to neighbouring Egypt and Jordan.

Trump floated the idea last month, saying he would urge the two countries to take in Gaza’s now largely homeless population, so that “we just clean out that whole thing”.

Fidan was speaking during a joint news conference on Tuesday with his Egyptian counterpart, Badr Abdelatty, who has been on a visit to Ankara.
