Trump Backs Away From Gaza Plan As Egypt And Jordan Reject Proposal To Take Over And Displace Gazans

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was “a little bit surprised” by their rejection. His proposal aimed to “take over” Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will “sit back and recommend it.” This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gaza’s future governance and stability. #Trump #Gaza #IsraelPalestine #MiddleEast #Egypt #Jordan #Hamas #USPolitics #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #ForeignPolicy #TrumpPlan #Palestinians #Israel #Conflict #Biden #War #InternationalRelations #News #Breaking

Hamas's Oct 7th Nova Festival Massacre to Killing of Yahya Sinwar: Key Events of Israel-Hamas War

The Israel-Hamas conflict has been marked by pivotal moments of violence and tension. The war escalated dramatically on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Shemini Atzeret holiday, including the massacre at the Nova Music Festival. The assault, which involved a barrage of rockets and the infiltration of militants into Israel, resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people, with families targeted in their homes in kibbutzim. The brutal nature of this attack prompted Israel to declare a state of war, followed by a complete siege of Gaza. The humanitarian toll was staggering, with over 1.4 million Palestinians displaced in the ensuing weeks. The war continued with significant losses on both sides, including the deaths of high-ranking individuals such as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
