Trump’s plan for Gaza: Trump voiced his new plans for Gaza — he intends for the US to take over Gaza and “own it.” His plans entail displacing Palestinians “to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts, and there are many of them, that want to do this,” he said, singling out Egypt and Jordan.

El Hadidi questioned Trump's shift in tone: “Trump preempted negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, stating that he was unsure of its viability,” Kelma Akhira’s Lamees El Hadidi said (watch, runtime: 4:44). She also noted Trump's shift in rhetoric, which went from discussing the displacement of Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan to expanding Israel's territory. “This is the time for a unified Arab stance,” she said, warning that Trump would try to divide Arab countries using incentives and pressure.

Could we see El Sisi in the White House soon? “There are unconfirmed reports that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi will visit the US capital soon,” El Hadidi said (watch, runtime: 6:02).
