To the same British reporter Trump also replied on Syria: “we are not involved in Syria.”
That’s a pretty hard sell, both countries have had experience with these animals.
Egypt and Jordan previously expelled the universally reviled “palestinians.”
Arabs in the know won’t have them. They are worse than useless.
I don’t blame them for not wanting them, but perhaps their more stringent laws will eliminate some of the threat. Time will tell.

“I wish [Sissi] would take some. We helped them a lot, and I’m sure he’d help us. He’s a friend of mine. He’s in… a rough neighborhood. But I think he would do it, and I think the king of Jordan would do it too,” Trump added.

I can see why King of Jordan doesn’t want them, they tried to overthrow his dad.
Egypt doesn’t want them, even Pharaoh didn’t want them!............
I have no idea whether this will ever happen, but frankly it is a genius idea to resolve the Gaza problem by just relocating everyone and shutting it down. Give the territory to Israel and be done with it. After all, Gaza only exists as a relic of post WWII chaos, and has no other relevant history behind it.
Those countries remember how much of a problem the Palestinians have caused when accepted en masse in the past, especially in Jordan and Lebanon. They form a fifth column wherever they land. Gaza was supposed to be a solution, a heavily subsidized territory of their own. But they’ve even managed to f*** that up. Two million fully indoctrinated homicidal fanatics are going to be a harder sell than even Mr. Trump may expect.
Wrong destinations!
Send them to the ones who bought and control them, Iran.
If Trump is able to pressure Egypt and Jordan into taking palis, they will be in walled camps with no freedom to come and go. It won’t be a place that people will want to stay.
If they refuse, sanction them. Parachute them in and lock the door!
