Saudi Arabia will host the leaders of four Arab countries, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab, at a summit next Friday to discuss US President Donald Trump’s proposal for taking over Gaza and displacing its population.

Arab countries have come together in a rare united front, outraged by Trump’s idea of displacing the Palestinians.

Jordan is already home to more than two million Palestinian refugees displaced during the Nakba; more than half of the country’s population of 11 million is of Palestinian origin.

Egypt has put forward its own reconstruction plan for Gaza under a framework that would allow for the Palestinians to remain in the homeland.

This is photograph that is shown for the first time of children from Yaffa (Jafa); these children are probably now our grandparents. The image highlights how our grandparents lived during that wonderful summer, playing on the beach in the Manshiyya neighborhood, while camel caravans traveled along the shore laden with crates of oranges. The photograph is from 1945.

Moshe Ya’alon: ‘Israelis Are Becoming ‘Judeo-Nazis’

As per The Palestine Project

“Turning Israelis into Judeo-Nazis”. Moshe Ya’alon described what is happening in the occupied territory as a “disgrace for generations”.

“The Israeli government is encouraging Jewish pogromists to dispossess Palestinians of their land through abuse, including shooting at them,” Ya’alon told Ynet (June 14, 2026)

Ya’alon spent decades in the Israeli military and is known to have taken part in the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, the violent suppression of the first and second Palestinian intifadas, and the 2014 war on Gaza.

But in recent years, the 75-year-old has adopted a more critical tone towards the current government, accusing it in 2024 of carrying out ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Reflecting on his time as army commander in the West Bank, Ya’alon said that he had acted to prevent the occupation from turning Israelis into “Judeo-Nazis”, as the late Israeli scholar Yeshayahu Leibowitz had once warned.

“Today, I can’t say he was wrong”
