"We just clean out that whole thing and say, 'You know, it's over,'" the new president said to reporters on Air Force One.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that the Biden administration had earmarked $50 million for a condom distribution programme in the Gaza Strip. Her comments came as she was justifying Donald Trump’s sweeping freeze on all foreign aid.

US President Donald Trump has proposed relocating Palestinians from Gaza. Egypt and Jordan are strictly opposed to this idea. But where could Palestinians live until Gaza is rebuilt?

An idea floated by US President Donald Trump to move Gazans to Egypt or Jordan faced a renewed backlash Tuesday as hundreds of thousands of Gazans displaced by the Israel-Hamas war returned to their devastated neighbourhoods.

Trump floated the idea on Saturday, saying he would urge the leaders of the two Arab countries to take in Gaza’s now largely homeless population, so that “we just clean out that whole thing.”

The Trump administration clarified the claim on Wednesday, saying the $50 million was part of a broader aid package

US aid experts on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump's claim that the United States had spent $50 million to fund condoms for the war-battered Gaza Strip, which the president has sought to make a poster child for wasteful spending.

President Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with him at the White House on Feb. 4

The Biden administration allegedly allocated $50 million for a condom distribution in Gaza, but no evidence supports this claim, which a former Biden official refutes. The Trump administration has frozen these funds amidst a review of federal spending.

Hamas and Israel are set to exchange hostages and prisoners today in the third swap of a fragile ceasefire. Israel is to release 110 Palestinian prisoners, while Hamas will set free eight hostages - three Israeli and five Thai nationals.

Nada, who had escaped Gaza with her wounded father, Thabet, almost a year ago, was desperate to go back to see her mother and five siblings who have been living in a small garage since their house in Gaza City was destroyed in December, 2023. They will leave the moment the Rafah crossing, on the Egyptian border, is opened by Israel and Egypt.
