The Trump administration has placed around 60 USAID officials on leave amid a sweeping foreign aid review. The move follows Trump’s executive order halting most foreign aid for 90 days, citing potential policy violations. Critics claim it suppresses dissent, as exemptions for Ukraine-related programs were reportedly denied. Secretary of State Marco Rubio exempted only emergency food aid and military support for Israel and Egypt. The decision has triggered program shutdowns and staff layoffs globally, intensifying scrutiny over US foreign aid policies.

Iran has strongly criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump's recent proposal to resettle Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, labeling it as a "Gaza cleansing plan." The Iranian government views this suggestion as a form of ethnic cleansing, expressing deep concern over the potential forced displacement of Palestinian populations. France has also condemned the idea, stating that any forced displacement is "unacceptable."
