Egypt says it is preparing a plan for Gaza to counter Trump's call to displace Palestinians
CAIRO — Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said his country is developing a plan to rebuild Gaza without forcing Palestinians out of the strip in a counter to President Donald Trump’s proposal to depopulate the territory so the US can take it over.Egypt’s state-run Al-Ahram newspaper said the proposal calls for establishing “secure areas” within Gaza where Palestinians can live initially while Egyptian and international construction firms remove and rehabilitate the strip’s infrastructure.Egyptian officials have been discussing the plan with European diplomats as well as with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, according to two Egyptian officials and Arab and Western diplomats. They are reportedly also discussing ways to fund the reconstruction, including an...

Hamas releases names of hostages due for release on Saturday
GAZA — Hamas has released the names of three hostages due to be freed on Saturday in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israel, after days of fears over the future of the ceasefire.They are Russian-Israeli Alexander Troufanov, Argentine-Israeli Yair Horn, and US-Israeli Sagui Dekel-Chen.Israel has said it will resume bombing if the three are not released on time. The warning came after Hamas said it was postponing the releases in response to alleged Israeli violations of the ceasefire.President Trump said the ceasefire should be scrapped if Hamas did not release all the hostages held in Gaza by midday on Saturday.Since the ceasefire began on 19 January, 16 Israeli and five Thai hostages have been released in exchange for 566 prisoners.During the first six-week phase of the ceasefire,...

US aircraft carrier collides with merchant ship near Suez Canal
WASHINGTON — The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was involved in a collision with a merchant ship near Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea on Wednesday night, a US Navy spokesperson said Thursday.It’s not clear what caused the collision between the US warship and the Panamanian-flagged vessel Besiktas-M, but the spokesperson said it did not result in any flooding on board the Truman and its nuclear propulsion plants were unaffected.No injuries were reported on either vessel, though the merchant ship sustained some damage, a Navy official said.An investigation is ongoing to determine how they collided, but the official noted that the area they were in near the Suez Canal is typically very densely packed with ships.The Besiktas-M, a 617-foot (188-meter) long bulk carrier,...

Iran is rearming its missile program, Western sources say
HONG KONG — The first of two vessels carrying 1,000 tons of a Chinese-made chemical that could be a key component in fuel for Iran’s military missile program has anchored outside the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas on Thursday, ship tracking data shows. It could be a signal that Iran’s missile production is back to business as usual after the devastating, and embarrassing, attacks by Israel on key factories last year.The ship, Golbon, left the Chinese port of Taicang three weeks ago loaded with most of a 1,000-ton shipment of sodium perchlorate, the main precursor in the production of the solid propellant that powers Iran’s mid-range conventional missiles, according to two European intelligence sources.The sodium perchlorate could allow for the production of sufficient propellant for...

Hamas says it will release Israeli hostages as planned 
GAZA — Hamas said it will release Israeli hostages as initially planned after holding “positive” talks with mediators, following a dispute with Israel over the Gaza ceasefire deal.The militant group had postponed the release of more hostages this weekend, accusing Israel of violating the fragile ceasefire.

Egypt to present 'vision' to rebuild Gaza without displacement
CAIRO — Egypt has said it is working on a "comprehensive vision" for the reconstruction of the war-torn Gaza Strip that guarantees Palestinians the right to stay on their land, unlike the proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump.The Egyptian foreign ministry said it hoped to cooperate with the Trump administration to reach "a just settlement of the Palestinian cause".It followed Trump's meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah on Tuesday, where he doubled down on his plan for the US to take over Gaza and permanently move the two million Palestinians living there to Jordan, Egypt and other locations.Abdullah said every Arab state rejected the idea, and that Egypt would present an alternative.The UN has warned that any forced displacement of the...
