Trump says he would support permanent resettlement of Palestinians

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would support an effort to permanently resettle Palestinians from Gaza to places where they can live without fear of violence.

Welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, Trump said he and his team have been discussing the possibility of resettlement with Jordan, Egypt and other countries in the region.

He said he would like to see an agreement to "resettle people permanently in nice homes and where they can be happy and not be shot, not be killed."
