The UK has airdropped food supplies into Gaza for the first time as the Defence Secretary urged Israel to allow more aid into the war-torn territory.
Grant Shapps authorised the airdrop following an assessed reduction in threat to the military mission and risk to civilians.
An RAF A400M aircraft flew from Amman to drop the supplies along Gaza’s northern coastline as part of a Jordanian-led international aid mission, according to the Ministry of Defence.

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’s Gaza ‘Riviera’ Plan has sparked massive outrage in the Muslim World. U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to turn Gaza into a Middle Eastern ‘Riviera’ has triggered a major Arab summit in Saudi Arabia.

While Cairo has proposed an alternative reconstruction plan, divisions remain over who should govern Gaza post-war. As regional tensions escalate, the summit is expected to shape the future of Gaza and broader Middle East geopolitics.

Hamas has strongly condemned former US President Donald Trump’s controversial Gaza displacement plan, calling it a “call for ethnic cleansing.” The group has accused Trump of attempting to erase Palestinian identity and warned of severe consequences if any forced deportation efforts are pursued. Hamas also challenged both the US and Israel, vowing to resist any attempts to displace Palestinians from Gaza and urging Arab nations to unite against such plans. Meanwhile, Egypt and Jordan have also rejected Trump’s proposal, reaffirming their stance against any forced relocation of Palestinians.

President Donald Trump has doubled down on his plan to "own" Gaza, proposing to displace 2.2 million Palestinians and place Gaza under U.S. authority. While Trump insists the region can be redeveloped and will benefit the Middle East, Jordan's King Abdullah II has pushed back, citing the unified Arab stance against Palestinian displacement. Meanwhile, Egypt is working on a plan to address Gaza's reconstruction while ensuring Palestinians remain. Trump also faces growing resistance as tensions over Gaza’s future escalate.

Donald Trump has warned of severe consequences if Hamas fails to release hostages by Saturday, stating, "All Hell is going to break out." He also suggested the US should "own" Gaza, calling it a potential "Riviera of the Middle East." His remarks have drawn strong criticism from Arab nations, particularly Jordan and Egypt, who reject any forced relocation of Palestinians. Hamas has dismissed Trump’s proposal as "absurd," accusing him of treating Gaza like a real estate project. The White House insists relocation would only be temporary, but Trump's stance raises serious geopolitical concerns.
