The plan, proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and deliberated in the meeting, includes encircling Gaza City and relocating around one million residents to the southern part of the strip.

The US plans to finance the new aid distribution centers, which will expand from the current four to a total of 16 new points to pick up aid.

Huckabee Sanders said that she will meet with Israeli government officials and business leaders and strengthen economic ties between Israel and Arkansas. 

Netanyahu, speaking from the Israel Air Force's Ramon Air Base claimed that the UN is "creating an excuse and lie about Israel," by saying that Israel is not allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.

Unlike Huckabee, Trump sees the Middle East in highly transactional terms and is set on using economically driven frameworks to broker further peace deals in the region.

Newsrooms blasted out bulletins that settlers had torched Taybeh’s 1,500-year-old Church of St. George, but independent reporting told a different story.

Mike Huckabee is the first US official from the Republican Party to visit Ramallah in recent years.

Blasting that settlers had torched Taybeh’s 1,500‑year‑old Church of  St. George without waiting for an official investigation shows how the international media reports on Israel.

“American Christians are among Israel’s strongest supporters, and the resolution of this issue among friends is a positive outcome,” Huckabee said.

Ambassador Huckabee blames Hamas for the impasse in the hostage deal, calls for an investigation in the case of the American Palestinian killed near Sinjil, and praises the US-Israel partnership.

The report said it found evidence that local Jewish residents were fighting the fire; however, the investigation was inconclusive as to who the perpetrators of the fire were.
