In a phone call this weekend, Mr Trump said he had told Jordan's King Abdullah: "I'd love you to take on more, because I'm looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it's a mess, it's a real mess." He said he planned to make a similar request to Egypt's president on Sunday.

The move "could be temporary" or "could be long-term", he said.

Hamas has vowed to oppose any such action, and the comments will likely outrage Palestinians in Gaza, for whom it is their home.

"Our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip endured death and destruction for 15 months… without leaving their land. Therefore, they will not accept any offers or solutions, even if they appear to be good intentions under the title of reconstruction, as announced by US President Trump's proposals," Bassem Naim, a member of the Hamas political bureau, told the BBC.
