- Trump invites Netanyahu to White House — Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be the first foreign leader to visit the White House during Trump's second term. The invitation, made in a letter from Trump, is seen as a major concession to Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. The visit is scheduled for February 4, 2025, to discuss peace efforts in Israel and its neighboring regions. This move comes amid tensions over a ceasefire in Gaza and follows Trump's decision to lift a ban on supplying Israel with 2,000lb bombs.

- Trump proposes relocating Gaza's population — Former President Donald Trump proposed relocating the entire population of Gaza to other Arab countries, such as Egypt and Jordan. This proposal has been met with skepticism and criticism, as it disregards the complex political and humanitarian issues involved. Both Egypt and Jordan support an independent Palestinian state and are unlikely to agree to such a plan.
- Trump administration plans Palestinian relocation — President Trump announced plans to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, suggesting that Jordan and Egypt could take in more refugees. This policy aligns with Trump's vision of redeveloping Gaza for real estate purposes, as discussed with King Abdullah II of Jordan and planned for discussion with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. Trump's comments indicate a shift from the traditional U.S. support for a two-state solution. The plan has been embraced by some Israeli factions, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who supports establishing Israeli settlements in Gaza.
