but at the end of the day, this is gazans who would have to move out. this is gazans who would have to move out. and they simply don't trust donald trump. they don't like donald trump. now, mr. berman, there is one thing that we've noted is this idea that trump is going just trying to negotiate, putting himself in a better negotiating position. is he just bluffing? a lot of his supporters would argue that he is. and this is interesting. google searches for trump combined with bluff up 600% versus a year ago that was the highest level was on tuesday. so maybe there's some idea that trump's just trying to put the u.s. in a better negotiating position. there are some americans who believe that because donald trump better hope so, because the bottom line is there's very little support, at least in the prior polling, for the idea that the u.s. is going to take a lead role in rebuilding. >> gaza. just put out this new post. seems like he's serious. >> i guess. i mean, maybe who really knows what donald trump sometimes he says a and he's really hoping for. >>

if gazans come tojordan? we will die.and how they got rid of them. he deals with things like a real estate broker, and he's an arrogant narcissist. that's not how things are done. jordan's government is treading a tightrope between its political ties to israel and the us, and its people's ties to the palestinians. the gaza war strained existing fault lines here. donald trump's vision of the peace is pushing them to breaking point. high unemployment here has left native jordanians queuing at food banks, adamant they can't take in any more refugees. we can't find jobs. we can't find any money. all these employees withoutjobs. so what happens if more refugees come tojordan? if gazans come tojordan? we will die. butjordan is also under pressure from its key military ally. donald trump has suspended us aid worth more than $1.5 billion a year. a formerjordanian foreign minister, now in washington, said that won't work. the choice is clear. no matter what the stakes are. so if the price is economic sanctions, that is a very smal

and of course, we're in the background. and the resettlement of gazans.an you talk to us about how the perceptions because of israel's partial withdrawal from an area known as the netzarim corridor. this is an area towards the centre of gaza that, in effect, divides gaza in two. so people have been taking advantage of this and slowly returning to the areas where their homes are, or at least where their homes used to be. but things are so bad up there that in many cases, people are turning heel. they're picking up whatever possessions they can, and they're actually heading back down south. but most people who are interviewed by agencies in gaza today said they were determined to rebuild their homes, despite the huge levels of destruction in the north. and of course, we're in the background. remarks by president trump about the us taking over gaza and the resettlement of gazans. can you talk to us about how the perceptions of that are evolving amongst the arab community there? yeah. first of all, it's a little bit of a distraction because the main thing is

those critical reactions — we've also heard from hamas leadership, saying that plans to relocate gazansrecipe for chaos and tension in the region. saying similar words against this policy. have been against it. and there's a few republicans — two republican senators kind of criticising this plan. saying he didn't think it was the best use of united states�* resources to spend a bunch of money in gaza. law is a big one. to, you know, pull off this kind of plan — i mean, and we could be talking about us military, you know, and that seems to fly in the face of what donald trump's, you know, normal global policy is, which is america first — sorts of conflicts. let's cross live now tojerusalem and speak to our correspondent yolande knell. this has caused by many. what is the reaction in if you at palestinian and israeli reaction we have had comments senior :-— rquite quickly, i z z fquite quickly, one of official quite quickly, one of them calling what president them calling what'fresident laid out in ridiculous trump laid out in ridiculous absurd and pointing out and absurd and painting eat

so for gazans, this fight for survival continues. that is nothing shocking to them. no one in the trump administration seems to have asked their opinion, but their opinion is clear, which is we will remain home. but of course, regardless, when president trump steps out and makes this shocking announcement, it throws everything into question. it has already put phase two of these negotiations under a huge question mark. negotiators, diplomats were supposed to be meeting just days ago. there's indications that possibly some meetings could take place next weekend. but what authority will they have? will prime minister netanyahu actually engage in any way when he's made it clear that he sees the path forward is through washington, d.c., and president trump, not through the mediating tables in the arab capitals like doha. >> coming up to just on a minute to the top of the hour, what we're seeing right now play out in gaza, there appears to be a hamas spokesperson who is addressing the crowd, seems to be rallying the crowd. in many ways. he's been speaking for some time. t

and, caitlin, president trump said, and he said it more than once in the last hour, that gazans would be thrilled to leave gaza, that they don't have an option but to leave their home. is he serious about forcing palestinians from gaza? >> well, jim, when you listen to the president and he did make these comments on multiple different occasions today before the israeli prime minister arrived here at the white house, and even after he arrived, when they were there together in the oval office, the first time that president trump has hosted a world leader, i should note, since he retook office just a few weeks ago. but twice he repeated that effort. but jim, the way he's framing it is essentially from a humanitarian perspective, saying that his aides, including steve witkoff, his envoy, have been to gaza. they've seen the destruction and the level there and talking about how long it is going to take to rebuild that. if that effort started, tomorrow would take 10 to 15 years, was the number that president trump and his national security aides were putting on that and essentially saying th

but for some reason, the west thinks it can decide for the gazans what their future will be.e have to create the terms really don't want to live in gaza to get out. we are hearing from... that they do want to any palestinian groups saying that that is likely. some people, of course, have fled the violence. of the critics of this idea. yeah, well, it's a new idea. i think that israel really needs to learn and understand it seems to me that president trump maybe but i think that at this stage, we are now in the midst to the next step. i think many things are going to happen in gaza, i can tell you... i think that is creating a very big leverage they understand that they need to bring back the hostages, that they need to lay down their weapons, and they need to get out of gaza. the trump suggestion is at all plausible? have a lot of imagination. i mean, you know, every single big thing that and cannot be done. leave the gaza strip should be let out. egypt must open its border. and if they don't do that, other options of enabling people to get out should be created, whether it's

and most importantly, gazans will not leave gaza. they have fought for 15 months for their survival. i don't think it comes as any surprise to the 2 million people in that enclave that they will continue doing so, but for now, i think their focus will very much be on what is playing out right here, right now. we have seen these three hostages escorted. i think last we saw into those red cross vehicles, they are still very much not free until they reach that border and are handed over to israeli forces, and only when that takes place and only when that takes place in an orderly manner, can those 183 palestinians who are held in israeli prisons. can that process begin of release, which will also involve the red cross busing them out of the occupied west bank? some of them others will be released into the west bank and beginning that phase. this is the fifth, of course, exchange. and as you've heard with each one of these exchanges, it becomes smoother, it becomes clearer. but what you can see in this split screen, very obviously, is th

gazan civilians who lives in gaza. i don't understand the idea of just taking over. >> you know, president tmp saying, why would they want to be there? because it is virtual rubble. and it is in fact, the north of gaza is virtual rubble. but there are palestinians, gazans who who evacuated to the south, who have returned to their home now by foot or by car and are setting up home amidst that virtual rubble, because to them, their home is the community, it is the mosques, it is the shops, it is the schools, it is the places they have frequented over and over throughout the last decades in which they call home. hence, one of the reasons why they say they will never leave gaza and. >> what they've already endured in order to stay in their homeland and wanting to see it revitalized. joel. president trump says he wants to see jordan and egypt take in palestinians. >> both countries. >> have come out firmly against. >> the idea. >> saudi arabia saying it would not normalize ties with israel without the creation of a palestin

leadership by president can i ask you, whether this comes to fruition or not, the voluntary departure of gazansorced expulsion. what is your take on that? this is just a statement. about this statement made but this is not serious. israel has to stop the war. could jeopardise the prospect of a lasting peace, a cease—fire, phase two negotiations? against palestinians for a long period of time now which is inflaming the entire region intifada. are not helping to reduce the flame is influencing these statements? is being accomplished and hopefully will be completed could have been done already in may. months ago, nine months ago, so unfortunately there many decisions and many recommendations and many are the national interests. as the next head of the office of management and budget, despite fierce pushback from democrats. they see mr vought as being at the heart of president trump's agenda. the role is one of the most influential positions administration of the $6.75 trillion federal budget. up federal spending. it was rescinded amid legal challenges. longer have to pay. complaining of excessive

framing this — not in the way that much of the rest of the world has done it, as an attempt to force gazansave their homes he says in a statement that all palestinians, all people should have the freedom of exit and immigration, as is customary elsewhere in the world. another rather interesting part of this statement — false accusations and plots against israel, are legally to enter their territory. described the plan as bold and something worth considering. but reaction, you will be aware, around the rest of the world, very different. antonio guterres, warning the united states against from marco rubio and also the president's spokeswoman. i think more than wondering whether it will happen — i think they are saying... or said it would be, were it implemented. here in the middle east. line for many, many countries, including some of america's allies, as well. we have heard statements — maybe less severe — but statements from american allies are saying they still support the two—state solution, which, of course, this — to be a contradiction of what president trump said. this plan, which many

the actual idea of allowing first gazans you want to leave, to leave, what is wrong with that? they can leave, they can then come back, they can relocate and come back but you have to rebuild gaza, this is the first good idea that i have heard, it's a remarkable idea and i think it should be really pursued, examined, pursuit, and done because it will create a different future for everyone. >> sean: two things the president said yesterday, when we have to ensure hamas is eliminated and restore peace to that area and the second thing he said is, iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. you are the first leader of a state, you are the first prime minister, the first president to come and visit the white house in his second term. between the reports that i read in "the new york times" and elsewhere and my sources, we keep hearing that iran is very close to nuclear capability. i don't have the intelligence you have, i don't know what our country's intelligence has, but all indications are that they want a nuclear weapon. am i leaning in to something that i should not lean into. was this a

and our colleagues who are gazans were also shocked. i was with one colleague driving through jabalia, which was an area heavily impacted by bombardment. he's from there, and he didn't recognize his community, his neighborhood. he got lost because the buildings there are essentially flattened as far as the eye can see. so it's really bad. and that impacts not only people's homes, but also the services that they rely on, such as water. water in the north of gaza is less than 20% capacity of what it was before the war. so people are really struggling to reestablish their lives without those services like water. but of course they want to reestablish their lives. and this is the key point. yes, there's a lot of destruction, but people are determined to rebuild. >> i want to ask you about the one of the parts of phase one of the deal and the ceasefire deal in general, was the flow of aid into gaza. but it's an abstraction to those of us who don't know about this. 200 trucks versus 500 trucks versus 900 trucks. what are we talking about in t

words — of course, the last president, president biden, was very clear in the region. to relocate gazanspe for chaos and tension in the region. we've been hearing, obviously, a lot of reaction within the us — politicians really sounding off. nearly, you know, all democrats who have spoken out about this have been against it. of criticising this plan. law is a big one. but then you look at the us resources that it would take to, you know, pull off this kind of plan — i mean, and we could be talking about us military, you know, troops, boots on the ground there. laid out in ridiculous and absurd and pointing out from palestinians i have spoken to in general you get conflict with israel. of nationalism, very painful histories. on the israeli side, certainly, there are many who will be encouraged by the very pro—israel general very popular with israelis. them in the strip — through the recent stages of the war. saying this is the only solution to as you say, yolande, we're almost at that what does that involve? that second stage involves basically bringing home end to fighting. and, you know

so there are questions that need to be resolved right now in this meeting about where gazans would goor 10 to 15 years while gaza is rebuilt, if that is what winds up happening. here is how two of the negotiators on president trump's side are describing the stakes ahead of this meeting. >> we're talking 10, 15 years. not the five year. >> nobody would be allowed to go back to their homes. that's how dangerous it is. it is 30,000 unexploded munitions. it buildings that could tip over at any moment. there's no utilities there whatsoever. >> peter: and in the oval office a few minutes ago, i had a cons to prime minister netanyahu about what we have eaten over the last couple months both president biden and president trump want credit for the hostage and cease-fire deal. i asked netanyahu who he gist more credit to. he has been dealing intimately with both of them. and he said that he credits trump and his team for sending a strong envoy with a strong message for getting things done. he said that he is glad the trump team is here. now, bret? >> bret: you know, peter, as you get ready for

gazans see the beauty of what used to be here. in gaza's northern areas since the ceasefire began.her they like it or not. the ceasefire has meant much more aid is getting into gaza. the un says 2 million people are fully dependent on food aid. this family used to live in a tower block in beit hanoun, translation: we are trying to build a shelter ourselves, rod by rod. - we are worried about it raining on us. but i want to stay on my land, to live and die on it, even in a tent. refugees from the war that marked israel's creation as a state. thank you, the answer? breach international law. by force. refrain from the threat or use of force. its also hard to see to his idea. hamas — designated a terrorist organisation by the uk and others — runs the strip. the idea has also been strongly rejected west bank. so as an occupying power. another issue with president trump's idea — law. this is article 49 of the geneva conventions. it says even if the plan went ahead, it's not clear where people would go. them in. but arab states have rejected the idea, previously saying it threatens region

this is the washington post, move gazans to another country, trump urges. politico, -- this is from the washington times, their headline. the middle of the page, trump floats u.s. takeover, division of gaza. the wall street journal, trump urges the u.s. takeover of gaza, president calls for palestinians to be removed and major breaking from policy. and the new york times, trump proposing takeover of gaza as u.s. territory, brazen plans to relocate all palestinians and rebuild war-torn enclave. these were made at a joint press session with the israeli prime minister. you can see that session at c-span.org. that is with a proposal for the gaza strip came up, and here it is from yesterday. [video clip] pres. trump: i also strongly believe that the gaza strip, which has been a symbol of death and destruction for decades and so bad for the people anywhere near it, especially those who live there, and, frankly, who has been really very unlucky, it has been a unlucky place for a long time, being in its presence has not been good, and it should not go through the p

president trump's plan to resettle gazans in nearby the foreign minister of egypt is travelling but israeli president, isaac herzog, told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg, president trump's gaza plan is an attempt to find a new way forward. which i read as follows. to war and then terrible things happen cannot go on. we have to look for new ideas. our correspondent, wyre davies, is injerusalem with more. most people agree with donald trump that gaza represents a demolition site right now. to what donald trump is proposing, much of with what donald trump said. the fact he is thinking outside the box is a term many israeli politicians have used and in that sense they support in gaza because most of it is probably illegal. calls "badly misjudged comments" after his whatsapp and councillors were leaked to the mail on sunday. as a health minister and suspended by the labour party. the conservatives have described the messages as �*nasty�* and �*sinister�*. a labour mp representing greater manchester since 2005. he was sharing messages in a whatsapp group with other in reaction to one elderly constitu

if gazans leave than hamas can't use them as human shields.nd sell humanitarian aid. the concept of beating the grass will now stir up the hamas snakes and countries and ngos profit off the ruin of gaza they will come forward now to perhaps fix the problem. how do you interpret it? >> brit: well, i think it is awesome an exotic idea and the obstacles are too numerous to mention, bret. it may never come to pass. but it has had one notable effect that is it has moved the discussion at least for now away from the idea of a two state solution which has been a dead end for a half a century or more. the reason princably being while it makes all kinds of sense on paper. the palestinians have really never shown much appetite for the idea. most of them, i think, want a one state solution and israel not a part of that. and so that, i think, is the great obstacle to peace. trump is offering something different which he hopes would be enticement to palestinians to perhaps leave and/or be made to leave. and to turn the place into something that would be, y

. >> the actual idea of allowing first gazans. >> who want to leave. >> to leave. i mean. >> what's wrong with that? >> they can leave. they can then come back, they can relocate and come back. but you have to rebuild gaza. if you want to rebuild gaza, you. can't have. this is the first good idea that i've heard. it's a remarkable idea and i think it should be really pursued, examined, pursued and done because i think it will create a different future for everyone. >> and this morning, the cease fire deal in gaza, still holding the israeli government, is condemning the conditions of the latest hostages who were released today. they say the shocking images of three emaciated israelis will not go unaddressed. now the president's comments on gaza add fuel to a volatile conflict and they contribute to an emotional moment for arab americans, especially those who voted for trump over joe biden and kamala harris because of the war. doctor bishara baba is with us. he's the chairman of a group known as arab americans for peace. welcome back to the show. last time you were o
