A Developing Story

“Abdullah sat, often looking awkward, as Trump reiterated his proposals. They involve upending decades of established US policy on Israel and the Palestinians and would amount to a clear breach of international law, which prohibits the forcible transfer of populations.” In a presser following a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah, Trump sticks to his plan of moving Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt and “developing” Gaza. Meanwhile, the already precarious ceasefire hangs in the balance. More from Trump on Gaza: “We’re going to have it, we’re going to keep it, and we’re going to make sure that there’s going to be peace and there’s not going to be any problem, and nobody’s going to question it, and we’re going to run it very properly … We’re not gonna have to buy … we’re gonna have Gaza, we don’t have to buy, there’s nothing to buy. It’s a war-torn area. We’re going to take it, we’re going to hold it, we’re going to cherish it.” Here’s the latest from The Guardian and CNN.
