Politics26:28Israel has rejected Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, exposing a major public break between Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu says Israel cannot proceed unless Hamas disarms. Trump, meanwhile, has been pressing for a wider framework to end the war and determine Gaza’s future. The rejection follows months of rising tension between the White House and Israel’s leadership over Iran. The dispute raises the question of whether the two sides merely differ over the terms of a Gaza agreement or whether their alliance is coming under deeper strain.
WorldIsraeli forces are demolishing Palestinian homes in villages including Al-Zweidin, displacing families and destroying essential infrastructure such as water wells. An average of 122 Palestinian structures are demolished each month. Settlers and soldiers also jointly attack communities such as Al-Mughayyir, burning fields and targeting homes. Up to 60 percent of village land has been confiscated, while at least 11 illegal outposts have been established. In all, 119 communities have been uprooted, leaving Palestinians treated as trespassers on their own land.

With closely fought elections ahead, he is seeking to shore up support among his political base while creating distance from President Donald Trump.
