  • Welcome to the World in 10 in an increasingly uncertain world.

  • This is the Times daily podcast dedicated to global security today with me, Alex Dibble and Toby Gillis.

  • Over the weekend, Donald Trump departed from decades of US Foreign policy which has called for a two state solution to the the Israel Palestine issue.

  • Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, the American president revealed he's told Jordan and Egypt that they should help clean out, that's a quote, the Gaza Strip by relocating Palestinians displaced by the war there.

  • Trump said he'd like to get involved with some of the Arab nations to build housing in a different location where they that's Palestinians can live in peace for a change.

  • The idea has been met with fury.

  • Palestinians do want to live in peace, but in Gaza, Jordan and Egypt want that too.

  • And the reason they haven't opened their borders to Palestinians in the past is the fear that doing so would end all hope of a two state solution.

  • But they might now have to consider it.

  • Our guest today is the Times and Sunday Times US Correspondent Josie Ensor, who has also spent many years covering the Middle East.

  • Josie, why does Donald Trump suggesting this put Jordan and Egypt in such a tough position?

  • As someone that's followed the region for a long time, I sort of understand the history of both countries acceptance of Palestinian refugees over the decades.
