Saeed Abu Elaish's wife, two of his daughters and two dozen others were killed by Israeli airstrikes. His house in northern Gaza was destroyed; his family now live in a tent set up in the rubble of his home. Rights groups say his comments are tantamount to a call for “ethnic cleansing” and forcible expulsion. Mustafa al-Gazzar was 5 years old when his family and other residents were forced to flee as Israeli forces in 1948 attacked their town of Yabneh. Now in his 80s, he said it was unthinkable to go after surviving 15 months of war. Trump said Palestinians from Gaza should be resettled in lands in Egypt, Jordan or elsewhere, promising them a “beautiful place” Palestinians have shown a powerful determination to return to their homes after nearly the entire population was displaced by the war. Joyous crowds streamed back to northern Gaza and Rafah, both of which were devastated by Israeli bombardment and ground offensives. Israeli rights group B’tselem said Trump’s statement “constitutes a call for ethnic cleansing” Israeli-occupied West Bank has seen more than a year of escalated violence. The rejection of Trump’s call was echoed by Palestinians in the West Bank and in surrounding Arab countries.

AI Summary:
Trump’s plan to transfer millions of people out of Gaza was hailed by the Israeli right. Some experts say it may be a negotiating tactic. For some experts, the idea felt so unlikely — would Mr. Trump really risk American troops in another intractable battle against militant Islamists? Legal experts say forced deportation would be a crime against humanity. Past population transfers on this scale have often exacerbated social and political problems instead of solving them.

AI Summary:
Forcing Palestinians to leave would be a severe violation of international law, experts say. Forced deportation or transfer of a civilian population is a violation of humanitarian law, a war crime and a crime against humanity. The prohibition against forced deportations of civilians has been a part of the law of war since the Lieber Code. It would be a further, severe violation for the United States to permanently take over the territory of Gaza. The specifics of that violation would depend partly on whether Palestine is considered a state. It is rare for states to violate that rule, and when they have, the response has been widespread global condemnation. The International Court of Justice has ruled twice that the Palestinian people are entitled to that right within Gaza. Mr. Trump seemed unconcerned with how his proposal might be viewed by institutions that underpin the international legal system. He signed an executive order calling for a review of U.S. Funding for and involvement in the United Nations. U.S.A.I.D.: Nearly the entire global work force of the main American aid agency will be put on leave, according to an official memo posted online.

Gazans Condemn Trump’s Proposal for a U.S. Takeover. You have been granted access, use your keyboard to continue reading. Palestinians in Gaza expressed a mixture of condemnation and confusion. Palestinians blasted the notion of forced displacement, though some said they would be open to finding a more stable life outside Gaza. Mukhlis al-Masri, 33, a resident of Beit Hanoun displaced to Khan Younis, said if he were able to move outside Gaza, he would. "Do I want to live through a tragedy for another 20 or 30 years?" he said. Palestinians criticized Mr. Trump’s claim that they would live in peace and harmony in new places outside Gaza. Some Arab countries have seriously restricted the rights of Palestinian refugees. For example in Lebanon, they are barred from working in several professions.

AI Summary:
Trump Proposal Puts Egypt and Jordan in an Impossible Position The countries are among the top recipients of American military aid. Forcing Palestinians out of their remaining territory, Arabs say, would doom that shared desire for Palestinian statehood and destabilize the entire region in the process. To the two Arab governments, it is not a matter of real estate or refugee camps, but of compromising their own long-held principles. Egypt and Jordan are among the top recipients of American military aid worldwide. Mr. Trump has mentioned the funding in recent weeks, though without publicly threatening to pull it over the Gaza issue. Analysts say the financial incentives of keeping that aid are minor compared to the two governments’ fears of alienating their populations by appearing complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Far-right Israelis have long talked of Jordan as the place where Palestinians should make their home instead of their current territories. Many, if not all, would likely be forced to go next door to Jordan, destabilizing a country already unsettled by tensions between citizens who are of Palestinian descent and those who are not. U.S.A.I.D.: Nearly the entire global work force of the main American aid agency will be put on leave, according to an official memo posted online.

The Search for the Original Silly Goose in the Fossil Record Advertisement You have been granted access, use your keyboard to continue reading. Scientists may have finally found Earth’s first fowl. It started in 1993 on Vega Island, a frigid, windswept rock off the Antarctic Peninsula. Nearly 20 years later, an Antarctic expedition turned up a bird skull matched with Vegavis iaai. Vegavis had the toothless beak and brain shape characteristic of modern birds. The skull found in 2011 helped breach this prehistoric logjam. But despite the bird’s loony body plan and head, fine details of its skull show specific traits that suggest waterfowl. The fact that a bird with such modern features was around by the end of the Cretaceous period suggests that other major lineages of living birds were likely present as well, says Gerardo lvarez Herrera. It’s possible that further exploration will uncover the ancestors of ostriches, fowls, neoaves and ducks that may have roamed alongside non-avian dinosaurs.

AI Summary:
Trump’s brazen proposal to move all Palestinians out of Gaza would be time-consuming, extraordinarily costly and probably a violation of international law. The proposal Mr. Trump floated the idea of Palestinians leaving Gaza multiple times since taking office last month. His suggestion that they could be moved to Egypt and Jordan was rejected last week by those countries. Many Gazans are descendants of Palestinians who were forced out of their homes during the wars surrounding Israel’s founding in 1948. Now Mr. Trump is suggesting that they be displaced again — insisting that Palestinians would welcome it because “they’re living in hell” in Gaza. The internationally backed Palestinian Authority rejected President Trump’s proposal, as did Hamas. King Abdullah II of Jordan rejected any attempt to displace Palestinians and annex their land. The legality Mr. Trump left a number of basic questions unanswered. But experts say his proposal would unquestionably violate international law. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Mr. Trump was only proposing to rebuild Gaza. It was an idea that “people need to think about seriously” Peter Baker is the chief White House correspondent for The Times.

AI Summary:
President Trump's desire to engage in negotiations is a turnabout from his first term. He often derided former President Barack Obama for agreeing to a nuclear deal with Iran. He effectively called for a do-over on Wednesday. "Maximum pressure is a failed experiment, and trying it again will lead to another failure," says Iran's foreign minister. "If the main issue is that Iran does not pursue nuclear weapons, this is achievable and there is no problem," he says. American intelligence officials have said they believe Iran has not yet made the decision to build a nuclear bomb. "Maybe that’s possible, and maybe it’s not possible," Mr. Trump wrote. "Reports that the United States, working in conjunction with Israel, is going to blow Iran into smithereens, ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED," he wrote. More about Michael D.
