• GREAT Trust plan circulates at White House proposing forced Palestinian relocation and Gaza privatization — A nearly 40-page document outlining the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation (GREAT) Trust plan has been circulating around the White House. The plan proposes turning Gaza into AI-controlled urban centers surrounded by luxury hotels, data centers, solar power plants, and electric vehicle factories, funded through a multilateral "custodianship" involving the U.S., Israel, and foreign investors. The plan emphasizes that Palestinians would be relocated either to other countries or designated areas within Gaza, with financial incentives structured so that each Palestinian who leaves generates $23,000 in savings and every 1% of population departure generates $500 million in savings for investors.

Nameplates and signage with the new name were installed in government offices, and the department's website URL was changed to war.gov.

• Trump announces plan to rename Department of Defense to Department of War — Trump announced a move to change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, a change that requires passage by Congress to become official. Sen. Rand Paul stated he plans to lead opposition to the name change, arguing it sends a bad signal to the world and glorifies war in an era of nuclear weapons.
