Trump’s plans for the future of Gaza were further shrouded in confusion on Wednesday when he told reporters that “nobody is expelling any Palestinians” from the enclave – an apparent climbdown from his previous proclamations that its population should be relocated.

Trying to counter President Trump’s call to “clean out” Gaza, Arab leaders have begun to outline their own vision for Palestinians in the territory.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that “no one is expelling Palestinians from Gaza,” appearing to contradict a plan he presented last month that called for U.S. control over the territory and the departure of its residents.
