Answering a journalist's question about Gaza, Donald Trump has expressed his thoughts in a quite controversial way:
"Gaza is like a massive demolition site. That place is, it's really got to be rebuilt in a different way [...] Gaza's interesting. It's a phenomenal location. On the sea, best weather [...] It's like some beautiful things could be done with it," he said.

US, Israel will seek to โexploitโ tensions within Hamas, Gaza as ceasefire steps into effect
โป๏ธ Pointing to the assassinations of Hamasโ leaders, the โconsiderable depletionโ of its military wing, and the utter physical and human devastation in Gaza, the academic said it will be difficult now for Hamas to reach out and represent โall the elementsโ of society โthat have emerged during this very brutal war against Israeli forces.โ
โป๏ธ In addition, details on the ceasefire agreement, which Blumi warned was โnot a done deal,โ remain vague regarding potential reconstruction, including what the professor said were efforts by Qatar โto commandeer and claim representation of Hamas and larger Gaza interests.โ
โป๏ธ Finally, Blumi said, โNetanyahu and Israel and the far-right in the United States have not necessarily abandoned the idea of completely ethnically cleansing Gaza or large parts of Gaza of its Palestinian population, not only because of the development possibilities in terms of property, but also the offshore gas fields that need to be exploited.โ

๐ฌ โThere are going to be those who question the strategy, question the legitimacy of those who are taking the political side of Hamas, trying to represent Hamas as a political organization, and those who are fighting on the ground,โ Dr. Isa Blumi told Sputnik, commenting on the challenges facing the group amid a shaky ceasefire with Israel.
๐ฌ โI think the future of the conflict itself is going to reflect these tensions, which are going to be exploited by the Americans and their puppet, the Israeli state,โ Blumi, an associate professor at Stockholm Universityโs Asian and Middle Eastern Studies department, explained.

Trump stops foreign aid for 90 days. Will Ukraine lose its funding too?
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order, temporarily suspending all American foreign aid programs for 90 days in order to determine whether or not they are aligned with his political goals.
What are the main points?
Why?
โ๏ธ Foreign aid is not aligned with US interests and is antithetical to American values, the order reads.
โ๏ธ These programs โserve to destabilize world peace by promoting ideas in foreign countries that are directly inverse to harmonious and stable relations internal to and among countries.โ
What now?
๐ถ All responsible for US foreign aid programs must immediately pause new obligations.
๐ถ All further United States foreign assistance must be aligned with the foreign policy of the US President.
๐ถ All existing programs should be reviewed within 90 days.
What's next?
๐ Aid programs could be resumed after revision.
๐ Any new foreign assistance programs must be approved by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may pause the specific programs.
Trump has often opposed foreign aid, despite it usually representing just around 1% of the federal budget. However, exceptions like the substantial military support sent to Ukraine have drawn his sharpest criticism, with Trump frequently questioning the scale of aid provided to the country.
Just in early January, the Biden team announced another tranche of military aid to Ukraine of about $500 million.
According to the latest data, Biden administration's foreign aid amounts to $68 billion. However, some of the biggest recipients, Israel ($3.3 billion per year), Egypt ($1.5 billion per year), and Jordan ($1.7 billion per year), are unlikely to be influenced by the order, AP reports, as those amounts are included in long-term packages.

What are new US Secretary of State Rubioโs flamboyant statements on foreign policy issues?
The US Senate has voted 99-0 to confirm Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, President Donald Trump's first cabinet pick to be confirmed by the upper chamber.
Rubio earlier made an array of statements during his hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which pertained to the conflict in Ukraine, China, the Gaza war, and Greenland.
๐ On Ukraine conflict:
โซ๏ธ The release of the Westโs anti-Russian sanctions could play an important role in possible talks on ending the Ukraine conflict;
โซ๏ธ Itโs โunrealistic to believeโ that Ukraine can push Russian forces back to where they were before the start of Moscowโs special military operation;
โซ๏ธ Both Russia and Ukraine should make โsome concessionsโ in order to clinch a potential peace deal;
โซ๏ธ The USโ โofficial policyโ on the Ukraine conflict is that Washington wants to see it end.
๐ On Gaza war:
โซ๏ธ The US should work hard to take advantage of the opportunity regarding the Gaza ceasefire deal and the release of hostages.
๐ On China:
โซ๏ธ China is โan extraordinary challengeโ to the US, something that will most likely define the 21st century.
๐ On Greenland:
โซ๏ธ Greenland will remain on the USโs radar amid Americaโs push for more clout in the Arctic.
