Last month, 16-year-old Palestinian-American Mohammed Ibrahim was finally released after nearly 10 months in an Israeli prison. His freedom follows a campaign by over 100 organizations pressuring the Trump administration to intervene on his behalf.
The UN Security Council voted in favor of Trump’s “peace plan” for Gaza, effectively giving the U.S. and Israel the mandate to push forward their vision for Gaza’s future – a future that, notably, features no consideration for what Palestinians want.
Donald Trump’s “20-Point Plan” could provide a path to end the Gaza genocide, but it is limited by a lack of details and the uncertainty of whether the U.S. is willing to enforce it on Israel.
Donald Trump says Benjamin Netanyahu accepted the latest U.S.-backed “peace plan” in Gaza and threatened Hamas that if it rejects the proposal, Israel would have his “full backing to finish the job” of destroying the group.
Despite reports of a rift following Israel’s failed attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar, Marco Rubio reaffirmed the Trump administration’s strong support during a trip to Jerusalem.
In response to the Israeli attack on Qatar, which targeted senior Hamas officials in the country, the Trump administration said it “feels very bad.” The U.S. government claimed it notified Qatar of the impending attack, a claim Qatar denies.
A leaked document details the Trump administration’s plan to forcibly relocate the population of Gaza. Included in a “relocation package” would be $5,000, four years of rent subsidies, and a year of food subsidies.
A U.S. security contractor who worked for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says he saw Israeli soldiers commit war crimes at aid distribution sites in Gaza, corroborating months-long reports by Palestinians that the aid sites are ‘death traps’.
The Trump administration is calling on Israel to investigate the killing of Sayfollah Musallet, but Israel rarely holds soldiers or settlers accountable for violence against Palestinians.
The vast majority of the Republican party and a number of hawkish Democrats are rallying around Trump’s war on Iran.
