During a phone call on Saturday, President Trump informed King Abdullah II of Jordan that he wants Jordan and Egypt to accept more people from the Gaza Strip. This suggestion challenges a policy enshrined by the international community and Arab states since 1948.
"I told him, I'd love for you to take on more because the Gaza Strip is a mess right now," Trump said to reporters aboard Air Force One after a rally in Las Vegas. He also expressed plans to discuss the matter with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Sunday.
"I'd like him to take people. I'd like Egypt to take people," Trump reiterated. "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.' I don't know. Something has to happen, but it's literally a demolition site right now."

The Hamas terrorist organization has issued a statement that ironically concurs with that of Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who said earlier this month that war is looming in Judea and Samaria.
Speaking in an interview with the Middle East Eye news outlet on Saturday, Hamas Political Bureau member Basem Naim said Judea and Samaria will be the next theater of war, the Iranian ISNA news outlet reported.

Irish professional mixed martial artist, professional boxer, and businessman Conor McGregor tweeted Sunday morning: "To raise the flag of a terrorist organization on Irish soil must become a major crime in the eyes of our state. It will not be tolerated nor lauded!"

4. Shiloh youth seek support for farm to protect hills
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/402771
A new farm has been established just north of Shiloh.
The aim of a farm is to control land by grazing herds of sheep and cows. When the Arabs see that the herds are constantly present, they keep away. In this way, a medium-sized herd can control several thousand dunams. The farm also needs to grow food for the herds, to supplement the pasturage.
Suisa and the youth have planted twenty dunams with olive trees and have bought a herd of sheep and a tractor. They need more agricultural equipment, and they want to buy more animals, cows as well as sheep, to enlarge the grazing area.
"Every place that your foot shall tread upon shall be yours."

7. Mike Huckabee, nominee for US Ambassador to Israel, says it like it is!
"The enemies of God are the enemies of the Jews."
Huckabee gave an Interview to Israeli radio station 14, and among other things said:
The Hareidi Yeshivah students are right not to allow themselves to be conscripted to the IDF since they now serve in the own way by learning Torah.
He also said that God chose the Jewish people, why we do not know but HE did. The enemies of God are the enemies of the Jews.
Other recent comments by Mike Huckabee include the following:
Huckabee tells Jews to take antisemitism 'as a badge of honor.'
"As horrible as the Nazis were, they weren't posting their atrocities on social media! Hamas wants everyone to see what they've done."
Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and an opponent of a Palestinian state, has consistently argued that the West Bank should be considered part of Israel.
"The title deed was given by God to Abraham and to his heirs," Huckabee said recently.
"There is no such thing as the West Bank, it's Judea and Samaria. There is no such thing as settlements, they're communities, they're neighborhoods, they're cities. There is no such thing as an occupation," Huckabee said in 2017.
He has also said "there really isn't such a thing as Palestinians, calling it 'a term that was co-opted by Yasser Arafat,' the late Palestinian president.
