Who can trust anything that Dutton or his cronies say – Mark

The federal Coalition has rejected Donald Trump’s proposal to “clean out” Gaza by resettling Palestinians in nearby countries, breaking with the United States president on a key issue amid a domestic debate about how to respond to his policies.
Opposition foreign affairs spokesman David Coleman, who was named to the post on the weekend, said the idea of removing Palestinians from Gaza was not Coalition policy and he wanted to see a two-state solution with an agreement on territorial boundaries.
Trump drew praise from some Israeli political leaders but swift rejection from Jordan and Egypt after he said the two countries should take as many as 1.5 million people from Gaza on temporary or long-term resettlement.

“So I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
Coleman said in an interview that a Coalition government would argue for a two-state solution for the Palestinian and Israeli people, not the plan put forward by Trump.
