Former President Donald Trump says he will ban Palestinian refugees from Gaza. Trump has been advocating for preventing prospective Gaza refugees from entering the United States and has pledged to “expand” the travel ban that President Joe Biden’s administration had lifted in 2021 if he’s re-elected, NBC News reported. “We aren’t bringing in anyone from Gaza, Syria, Somalia, Yemen or Libya or anywhere else that threatens our security,” Trump promised at a campaign event on October 16.

“I banned refugees from Syria, I banned refugees from Somalia — very dangerous places — and from all of the most dangerous places all over the world, I banned them,” Trump said. “In my second term, we’re going to expand each and every one of those bans,” he vowed.
In a widely derided move, dubbed racist and Islamophobic by many, Trump first suggested “a total and complete shutdown” of Muslim immigration to the United States in 2015. His government attempted to implement a broad executive order as soon as he took office, but it was ultimately restricted to five nations with a majority of Muslims: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.
Trump, campaigning in Iowa, promises that If elected, he will bar Gaza Refugees and expand the Muslim travel ban in the US.
He said would ban entry to the US of anybody who doesn’t believe in Israel’s rights and revoke visas of foreigners who are Pro Hamas.

Entry into the United States is already prohibited for members of communist and totalitarian groups, both current and former, as well as those who support them, per the Associated Press. However, Trump declared to roughly 1,500 supporters in a Des Moines suburb that the United States will no longer permit “dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs to get residency in our country” should he be elected to a second term.
Although he has been advocating for a stricter travel ban throughout his campaign, this was the first time he has brought up Gaza. “If you empathize with radical Islamic terrorists and extremists, you’re disqualified,” he said at the event. “If you want to abolish the state of Israel, you’re disqualified. If you support Hamas or any ideology that’s having to do with that or any of the other really sick thoughts that go through people’s minds — very dangerous thoughts — you’re disqualified.”
President Donald Trump will immediately reimpose the Trump Travel Ban.
