Thousands of displaced Gazans are making their way back to what's left of their homes in the north
Trump's Gaza plan won't happen, but it will have consequences
By Jeremy BowenLONDON — Donald Trump's plan for the US to "take over" and "own" Gaza, resettling its population in the process, is not going to happen. It requires the co-operation of Arab states that have rejected it.They include Jordan and Egypt — countries that Trump wants to take in Gaza's Palestinians — and Saudi Arabia, which might be expected to foot the bill.Western allies of the US and Israel are also against the idea.Some — perhaps many — Palestinians in Gaza might be tempted to get out if they had the chance.But even if a million left, as many as 1.2 million others would still be there.Presumably the United States — the new owners of Trump's "Riviera of the Middle East" — would have to use force to remove them.After...

Trump's Gaza plan won't happen, but it will have consequences

President Donald Trump meets with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office of the White House, Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025, in Washington
Trump's offer to 'take ownership' of Gaza draws international outrage
NEW YORK — US President Donald Trump's announcement on Tuesday that the US could "take over" the Gaza Strip after its population were permanently displaced to other countries has been condemned across the Middle East and beyond — and celebrated by members of Israel's cabinet.At a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, Trump declared that "The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too."He said that Palestinians "can't live in Gaza right now" and that the enclave — which has been devastated by 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas — could be turned into the "Riviera of the Middle East".Trump said the decision was not "made lightly" and claimed that he had...

Trump's offer to 'take ownership' of Gaza draws international outrage

Trump's Gaza takeover plan will be seen as flying in face of international law
WASHINGTON — When US President Donald Trump began speaking 10 days ago of Gaza as a demolition site, calling to "clean out that whole thing", it wasn't clear how far these were off-the-cuff remarks.But in the lead up to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit, in his Oval Office comments before the meeting, and in the press conference itself, it's now clear he is profoundly serious about his proposals.They amount to the most radical upending in the established US position on Israel and the Palestinians in the recent history of the conflict; and will be seen as flying in the face of international law.As well as how the announcement will be absorbed by ordinary people on the ground, it could also have a significant impact on the more immediate phased...

Mosul's landmarks rise again after IS destruction
MOSUL, Iraq — Historic buildings in Mosul, including churches and mosques, are being reopened following years of devastation resulting from the Iraqi city's takeover by the extremist Islamic State (IS) group.The project, organised and funded by Unesco, began a year after IS was defeated and driven out of the city, in northern Iraq, in 2017.Unesco's director-general Audrey Azoulay and Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani are attending a ceremony on Wednesday to mark the reopening.Local artisans, residents and representatives of all of Mosul's religious communities will also be there.In 2014, IS occupied Mosul, which for centuries was seen as a symbol of tolerance and co-existence between different religious and ethnic communities in Iraq.The group imposed its...

Trump says US will ‘take over’ Gaza Strip and doesn’t rule out using American troops
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States “will take over” the Gaza Strip — possibly with the help of American troops — while the Palestinians who live there should leave, a stunning proposal that would dramatically reorient the Middle East and subject a population of more than a million to further displacement.“The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said during a joint press conference alongside his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, later describing his vision for the area as a new “Riviera.”“We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings,” he said.Asked whether he was...

Syria's president meets Erdoğan to discuss joint strategy to confront security threats
ANKARA — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan welcomed Syria’s president, Ahmad al-Sharaa at the presidential palace in Ankara in Turkey on Tuesday to discuss Syria’s economic recovery and its security and stability.At a joint press conference following the meeting at the presidential palace, Al-Sharaa said Turkey and Syria were planning a "joint strategy" to tackle security threats to both countries.“We discussed the threats that would prevent the unity of Syrian lands in northeastern Syria,” the former rebel leader said.One of the threats to Turkey are the presence of Kurdish-led forces in the north of Syria.Turkey views the Syrian Kurdish militias, who are part of the US-allied, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as an extension of the banned Kurdistan...

Jenin mayor likens Israeli military operation to war in Gaza
JENIN — The mayor of Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, told CNN on Monday that the Israeli assault on the Jenin Refugee Camp was akin to the war in Gaza, saying it had destroyed 120 buildings and displaced 15,000 people.“What has been happening in Jenin city and the refugee camp over the past two weeks is similar to that of Gaza but on a smaller scale,” Mohammad Jarrar said Monday.Hundreds of residential units make up the 120 destroyed buildings, he said, noting that the destruction had impacted thousands of families.Jarrar described scenes of devastation amid a shortage of food, water and medication as services have been disrupted because of the operation.

Toddler who has just days to live evacuated from Gaza for urgent medical care
AMMAN — A Palestinian toddler forced to wait weeks for permission to leave Gaza for life saving medical treatment has finally arrived in Jordan. The girl is now in hospital receiving critical medical treatment.Two-year-old Habiba al-Askari left the besieged Palestinian enclave after a mammoth effort at the “highest level” in Amman, a Jordanian official familiar with the negotiations told CNN. Jordan decided to evacuate her following a CNN report on her story.Israel initially approved Habiba’s treatment abroad last month, before it denied authorization for medical evacuations for more than two weeks, according to international aid groups.Doctors believe Habiba has protein C deficiency – a rare but highly treatable genetic condition, which causes excessive blood clotting – and...

Israel halts medical evacuation of critically-ill toddler from Gaza
AMMAN — Doctors say 2-year-old Habiba al-Askari has days to live as gangrene creeps up her arms and legs, and only an urgent medical evacuation out of Gaza may save her life.She has a rare genetic condition: protein C deficiency, which causes excessive blood clotting and can lead to a slow death. The condition is highly treatable – but not in Gaza, where healthcare institutions and supplies have been decimated by Israel’s yearslong war in the Palestinian enclave.Earlier this month, international aid groups worked through the complex process of obtaining permission from Israeli authorities to allow Habiba to leave Gaza for treatment.Habiba did receive formal permission to leave Gaza, according to COGAT, the Israeli agency that coordinates permissions for movement in and out of Gaza....
