Trump has announced a $400 million funding cut to Columbia University, citing concerns over anti-Semitism and the university’s handling of Gaza-related protests on campus.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has issued a stark warning against U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, calling it a "criminal" scheme to empty Palestine. In a fiery speech, he threatened military intervention, including missile and drone strikes, if the plan is enforced by force. Al-Houthi provocatively suggested that if the U.S. is concerned about Jewish welfare, it should relocate them to America instead. The Houthis have already launched over 40 missiles and 320 drones at Israel and vow to resume attacks if Trump’s plan moves forward.
