U.S. President Donald Trump has angered Arabs and even some allies with his recent proposals to force Gazans out of the wrecked enclave to make way for a major development project built on the remains of the Palestinians killed by Israel’s 15-month-long genocide.
The U.S. announced last week that it will sell Israel an additional $7.4 billion in weapons—foregoing the normal procedure of alerting a House committee for review before the sale’s approval.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview Saturday that Riyadh should consider opening its doors for an influx of Palestinians from Gaza because Saudi Arabia has room to spare.
Israel Katz, the head of the IDF, gave his approval after U.S. President Donald Trump proposed the ethnic cleansing of Gaza to clean out the territory so Israel and the U.S. could get to work to rebuild the enclave—sans Palestinians.
U.S. President Donald Trump last week called for his administration to begin work on carrying out the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, which Israeli leaders embraced as a “bold initiative” that could prove to be beneficial to Gazans who plan to exit the enclave.
The fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel remains in place, as tens of thousands of Gazans return to their homes throughout the enclave that have been reduced to rubble.
Martin Oliner, the head of Religious Zionists of America who was appointed by President Donald Trump as a board member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, penned a column published Saturday defending Trump’s decision to endorse the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
The life expectancy of a Palestinian living in Gaza plummeted by nearly 50 percent—to 44.4 years, with men seeing the most dramatic decline, according to a study published in The Lancet.
The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect Sunday, 19 January, with the release of three Israeli women who had been held hostage since the Hamas attack in October 2023. The Israelis released 90 Palestinians in return.
U.S. President Donald Trump wasted no time to make good on his campaign vow to try and deport foreign students who dare to speak out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
