Trump's Gaza plan criticized

More than 100 organizations have issued a joint statement rejecting the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza after US President Donald Trump unveiled plans to take ownership of the besieged enclave.

In a TV interview aired on Monday, Trump also threatened to cancel the cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas if all Israeli captives were not released by Saturday.

Hamas on Monday announced a delay in the next release of Israeli hostages on Saturday, alleging that Israel had violated the cease-fire agreement, including targeting Palestinians and conducting airstrikes in Gaza. Israel, on the other hand, accused Hamas of breaking its promise and starting to prepare for military actions again.
