al-monitor.com (2025-02-05). Meeting with Netanyahu, Trump calls for removal of Palestinians from Gaza This looks precisely like the President has been bribed or blackmailed by Israel and/or its proxies. For example, one prominent Israeli donor, Miriam Adelson, has significantly supported Donald Trump's political campaigns over many years. In the 2024 election cycle alone, she contributed over $100 million to the pro-Trump Preserve America PAC, with $95 million donated in the third quarter alone. It's been noted by some sources that she wants Trump to act on some matters in return. This looks a lot like "quid pro quo" evidence that Trump is deeply immoral and corrupt.
US President Donald Trump appeared to call for the near total removal of the Palestinian population from Gaza on Tuesday during a White House meeting alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, doubling down on prior remarks that created confusion and sparked allegations that he was in support of ethnic cleansing.
