Did Trump accidentally let slip that the death toll in Gaza is around 500k Palestinians?

Prior to Israel’s response to Oct. 7th, the population in Gaza was around 2.3 million people. Recently Trump mentioned relocating 1.7 or 1.8 million Palestinians. This is an oddly specific number and may have been communicated to him in security briefings on the matter. If we do the math, that’s about half a million people missing in Gaza…

Many experts have warned that the indirect deaths could be multiples higher than direct deaths, with the official death toll dramatically underestimating the numbers of dead in Gaza as Israel has prosecuted it’s genocide of the Palestinian people by destroying nearly all healthcare facilities, restricting aid, medical supplies and targeting healthcare workers.

What do you think? Why does Trump think they’ll only need to relocate 1.7 or 1.8 million people from Gaza? Did he misspeak? something else?
