The US president has warned of repercussions for neighbouring Egypt and Jordan unless they accept displaced Palestinians in Gaza.

Diplomats say Egypt is leading efforts to propose an alternative within weeks, focused on training a new security force and appointing local Palestinian leaders.

Rubio said he believed Arab states were “working in good faith” but insisted Hamas must have no future role.

Freed Palestinian detainees burn the uniforms marked with the Star of David and the slogan “We will not forget” that Israel forced them to wear before being released today as part of the prisoner exchange deal.

Nearly 400 Rabbis, Jewish Leaders Say 'No' to Trump Push for Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza | Common Dreams (2025-02-13)

“Over 350 rabbis and dozens of Jewish public figures on Thursday placed a full-page advertisement in The New York Times protesting President Donald Trump's proposal to force all Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip and take over the coastal enclave …”

"’Trump has called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza,’ the ad states. ‘Jewish people say NO to ethnic cleansing!’"

"’Jewish teaching is clear: Trump is not God and cannot take away Palestinians inherent dignity or steal their land for a real estate deal,’ [one of the signatories Rabbi Yosef] Berman continued. "Trump's desire to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza is morally abhorrent. Jewish leaders reject Trump's attempts to wring profit from displacement and suffering and must act to stop this heinous crime.’"

"For over 15 months, Israeli soldiers have taken to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other social media platforms to show off their handiwork in Gaza.

Now, this very evidence is being used to pursue war crimes charges against them across the globe, with the Brussels-based Hind Rajab Foundation at the forefront of these efforts.

“You can’t massacre people, film yourself doing it, broadcast it to the world, confess to your actions, and then simply go about your life, sitting next to me at a cafe in Brussels,” says Dyab Abou Jahjah, president of the foundation."

"Former US President Joe Biden’s administration also entertained ideas of population transfer but used softer language, suggesting “temporary relocations.” Trump’s explicit rhetoric has made it impossible for Arab leaders to even pretend to work with him. His bluntness removes any diplomatic cover for negotiations. Allies can be asked to do many things, but not to commit regime suicide."

"The Canary has spoken to a doctor who is crowdfunding a legal challenge after his NHS bosses sought to punish him for speaking out on Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In August 2024, Royal Free London #NHS Trust suspended Dr Nadeem Crowe for 'potentially upsetting posts about the Israel – Gaza conflict'.

"Because he was a temporary (or ‘bank’) worker, his employment rights were not the same as permanent employees."

"Crowe is now seeking to challenge this discrimination at an employment tribunal..."

"Hamas said that, in addition to Israeli attacks on Gaza since the truce began, Israel has also delayed the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza and the increase of aid, which is a key commitment of the ceasefire agreement.

Meanwhile in Israel, the families of the captives still held in Gaza also fear the collapse of the deal and have accused Netanyahu of purposely sabotaging the agreement."

"Explosives and mines were everywhere,” Sababah told Drop Site. “It was truly horrifying to witness this scene because our lives were in peril every moment. We were walking very carefully over Israeli tank tracks to avoid harm. Mines were apparent in certain areas and were marked with yellow tape and signs. The agricultural land was also full of mines, so it was impossible to walk there. Each step was frightening as it could have been our last.”

A testimony from an Israeli (ex-?)soldier with a rank of Captain, serving in 2024:

“…’Messing with the ground;’ … It could be a million things ... [But in Gaza,] messing with the ground is a code name for planting an explosive device, always. That’s the suspicion, … all kinds of overhead drone footage, you see it from a distance, in two dimensions. … you don't really have the ability to see what a person is doing; you can only suspect and run through a risk management assessment ... Given that the [off-limits ] Netzarim Corridor … if someone enters it and messes with the ground, it’s grounds for opening fire. You don’t know that he’s planting an explosive device. It could be a civilian, in varying percentages. And the numbers …[given to] the public … “We killed X number of terrorists” … it’s total bullshit, because we don’t know…”
