Palestinians slam Trump's idea to 'clean out' Gaza


Gaza City (AFP) -Youssef Hassouna with Adel Zaanoun in Cairo and Jay Deshmukh in Jerusalem Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and armed group Hamas vowed on Sunday to defy proposals for the forced displacement of Gazans, after US President Donald Trump floated a plan to "clean out" the war-battered territory.
