He said: "You know over the centuries it's had many, many conflicts. And I don't know, something has to happen.". "It's literally a demolition site, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there. " So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change.".
“You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.’”. The US commander-in-chief added that he was going to discuss this idea with Egypt's president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Sunday.
