GHF 'proposed camps for Palestinians to reside, de-radicalise and re-integrate'
The $2bn plan, created after 11 February for the GHF, was submitted to Donald Trump's administration and recently discussed in the White House, according to a source familiar with the matter cited by Reuters.
The plan describes "large scale" sites where the Palestinian population in Gaza could "temporarily reside, deradicalize, re-integrate and prepare to relocate if they wish to do so".
A slide deck seen by Reuters goes into detail about these Humanitarian Transit Areas, and how they would be used to "gain trust with the local population" and facilitate Trump's "vision for Gaza".
In February, Trump said that the US should "take over" Gaza and rebuild it as the "Riviera of the Middle East", after ethnically cleansing the population outside of the territory.
The undated slide presentation, which includes photos dated 11 February, said that the GHF was "working to secure" over $2bn for the project, to "build, secure and oversee large-scale Humanitarian Transit Areas (HTAs) inside and potentially outside Gaza Strip for the population to reside while Gaza is demilitarized and rebuilt".
The GHF told Reuters that the slides were not a GHF document, adding that it had studied "a range of theoretical options to safely deliver aid in Gaza," but that it "is not planning for or implementing Humanitarian Transit Areas".
A senior US administration official told Reuters "nothing of the like is under consideration", noting that "no resources are being directed to that end in any way".

BBC review says pulled Gaza documentary did not break impartiality rules
A BBC investigation into the airing of a documentary on children in Gaza, narrated by the son of a Palestinian official, has found that the corporation did not breach its impartiality rules. Just four days after the documentary, Gaza: How To Survive a Warzone, aired on 17 February, the BBC pulled it from its streaming platform, iPlayer, following an intense campaign by pro-Israel groups and rival British media outlets. Pro-Israel activist David Collier alleged that the boy who narrated the film, Abdullah al-Yazuri, was the son of a deputy minister in Gaza's government and was related to a co-founder of Hamas, Ibrahim al-Yazuri, who died in 2021. Collier, whose revelations sparked a national scandal, described Abdullah as the "child of Hamas royalty", a claim later repeated by mainstream British newspapers. Monday's long-awaited review, which was conducted by Peter Johnston, the corporation's head of Editorial Complaints and Reviews who is independent of its management, found that three members of Hoyo Films, the independent production company that produced the film, knew of the father's position as deputy minister of agriculture, but no-one within the BBC knew this before the broadcasting of the documentary. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The review said the BBC had breached its editorial guidelines in terms of accuracy by failing to disclose the boy's ties to Hamas. However, the review found that there were no other breaches of editorial guidelines, including impartiality. It also found no evidence "to support the suggestion that the narrator's father or family influenced the content of the programme in any way". War on Gaza: How the BBC sanitises Israel's genocide Read More » The Media watchdog Ofcom said later on Monday that it would conduct its own investigation into the airing of the documentary. The BBC's director general, Tim Davie, had told MPs the broadcaster had received hundreds of complaints alleging the documentary was biased against Israel, as well as hundreds more criticising the programme's removal from its streaming service. Middle East Eye revealed earlier this year that the boy's father was in fact a technocrat with a scientific rather than political background and had previously worked for the UAE's education ministry and studied at British universities. The narrator's father also disputed the allegations against him, saying his full name is Ayman Hasan Abdullah al-Yazuri, whereas the Hamas founder's full name was Ibrahim Fares Ahmed al-Yazuri. He added that his father was named Hasan and died in 1975. "Our family is not as some claim," he told MEE, insisting he was not "Hamas royalty". "There are many individuals within our family who are affiliated with Fatah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), including some in leadership positions within these movements." Ministers, bureaucrats and civil servants in Gaza are appointed by Hamas, while in the West Bank, they are appointed by the Palestinian Liberation Organisation.

Gaza: Families of Israeli captives contact Hamas over fate of ceasefire talks
The families of Israeli captives being held in Gaza reached out to Hamas through a representative to ask about the fate of stalled ceasefire talks, Middle East Eye can reveal. Sources told MEE that the third party reached out to Hamas after the captives' families feared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin was trying to torpedo a possible deal. A senior figure within Hamas told the representative it was "serious" about reaching an agreement to end the war and release the captives, but that it was facing "intransigent Israeli positions", sources told MEE. "Hamas is serious about reaching an agreement to end the war and establish arrangements that ensure calm and stability. It has demonstrated significant flexibility and positive responsibility during the negotiation rounds," the sources quoted Hamas as saying. "Israel has insisted on continuing the war, destroying the Gaza Strip, displacing its population, and imposing a state of hunger, suffering, and ongoing massacres that have not ceased for a single day." New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Hamas and Israel reached a brief three-stage ceasefire in January, but the deal collapsed in March after Israel took back several of its captives and resumed bombing Gaza, walking away from the deal before talks with Hamas on a permanent end to the war could start. Since then, the Trump administration has given Israel full backing to wage war on Gaza. According to sources, the Hamas official told the representative that the Palestinian movement had complied with "everything stipulated" in the first phase of the previous ceasefire, which was supposed to transition to phase two talks on ending the war. Before withdrawing from the ceasefire, Hamas said that Israel committed "hundreds of violations", including deploying troops beyond 'buffer zones", killing 132 civilians, preventing the inflow of reconstruction material, and remaining in the Philadelphia Corridor that separates Gaza from Egypt. Hamas reportedly told the representative that despite Israel unilaterally resuming the war, it responded to proposals by mediators to revive the ceasefire, 'but Israel rejected them and insisted on releasing half of the Israeli prisoners without offering any guarantees that the war would cease. In fact, it openly insisted on its continuation'. As it stands, there are believed to be around 20 living captives in Gaza and just over 30 dead Israelis. Since the 7 October 2023 attacks on southern Israel, the country's military has only rescued eight captives in raids that have seen hundreds of Palestinians killed. Talks remain deadlocked On Sunday, US President Donald Trump said talks on a Gaza ceasefire were going along well, repeating remarks he made last week during a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In contrast, MEE reported on Saturday that Hamas negotiators were sceptical that a ceasefire agreement could be reached in the current round of talks in Doha, Qatar. Sources close to Palestinian negotiators said talks have remained deadlocked over at least two of four key issues. Exclusive: Gaza talks at risk after Israel refuses to withdraw from Rafah Read More » The first is the extent of the proposed Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip during a 60-day truce. The second is the method of aid distribution. The US has reportedly proposed postponing discussions on these two points, instead focusing on the names of Palestinian prisoners to be released by Israel in exchange for the remaining Israeli captives. According to the sources, Hamas told the representative for the captives' families that it asked to amend three points related to the distribution of aid, the deployment of Israeli soldiers in Gaza and guarantees on ending the war after an initial 60-day truce is over. 'However, Israel has taken a hardline stance, particularly in its redeployment maps, where it seeks to control approximately 36 percent of the Gaza Strip's area and keep approximately 600,000 residents displaced and unable to return to their homes," Hamas is reported to have said. "Israel has repeatedly rejected our offer to return all Israeli prisoners at once in exchange for ending the war. "They rejected it and preferred a partial solution. This is a clear indication of their intention to continue the war and their disregard for prisoners as a central issue for Israeli society," it added. For more than 21 months, Israel has relentlessly bombed the besieged Gaza Strip, displacing the entire 2.3 million population multiple times, and has killed more than 58,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians. The figure also includes at least 1,400 health sector professionals, 280 United Nations aid workers - the highest staff death toll in UN history - and at least 228 journalists, with the highest number of media workers killed in conflict since the Committee to Protect Journalists began recording data in 1992.

Donald Trump has a Jeffrey Epstein problem and it's just getting started
US President Donald Trump, who likes to promote his peacemaker credentials, is facing a civil war within his own ranks. Fuelling the rebellion among his Make America Great Again loyalists is Mr Trump's response to developments in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced former financier who authorities say took his own life in a New York jail while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Epstein in 2008 had pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of a child for prostitution, and his death in 2019 quickly became a cause celebre for Maga loyalists and the right-wing media world. They claimed, without evidence, that Epstein was murdered to keep him quiet about any wealthy and powerful clients he may have had. The theory was so widespread that it became received wisdom in the Maga universe. Last year, Vice President JD Vance said: 'We need to release the Epstein list, that is an important thing." But when the FBI and the Justice Department published a much-anticipated memo last week, it stated that no evidence supported the claim that Epstein had kept a 'client list', or that he had blackmailed prominent people. Investigators also reasserted 2019 findings that he had died by suicide. For many Maga supporters, the memo amounted to a betrayal, especially considering the source. For years before joining the Trump administration, FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, had pushed Epstein conspiracies in one form or another. Now that they are in office, they are saying there is nothing to see here and it's time to move on. In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had an Epstein client list 'sitting on my desk right now to review". But when asked about it last week, she sought to withdraw the comment, saying she was referring to the overall Epstein file. For conservative influencers including Elon Musk and Laura Loomer, it all stinks. Ms Loomer, a staunch Trump loyalist, on Sunday told Politico that a special counsel should be appointed for an independent investigation of the handling of the Epstein files. Mr Musk, who fell out with Mr Trump last month, lobbed a 'really big bomb' at the President as he left the White House, claiming the reason the full Epstein investigation has not been made public is because Mr Trump is 'in the Epstein files'. He later deleted that post on X. We already knew that Mr Trump, Bill Clinton, Britain's Prince Andrew and other rich and powerful men had moved in Epstein's orbit, before he was known to be a sexual predator. But Mr Musk appeared to be hinting at something else. On Saturday, the tech billionaire posted on X that Mr Trump should 'just release the files as promised". Mr Trump's own reaction to the release of the memo has been disastrous. When asked about it at a Cabinet meeting last week, instead of addressing the terrible crimes Epstein was accused of, or telling supporters that he was committed to making sure justice is done, he snapped at a reporter who had the temerity to ask him about the case. 'Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?' Mr Trump said testily. 'This guy's been talked about for years … are people still talking about this? … That is unbelievable." It was a massively disingenuous answer as he knows only too well how important the Epstein case is to his supporters. He made things worse still on Saturday when he claimed that the Epstein file had been created by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other 'losers and criminals of the Biden administration". Let's 'not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about", he posted in a lengthy message on Truth Social. A look at comments underneath that post are instructive. Normally, Mr Trump's posts are greeted with a tsunami of seemingly bot-generated memes that adulate him. Now, angry supporters are alleging he is part of some sort of cover-up. 'This is going to cost you so many supporters. I being one of them. I have been to multiple rallies and even was there on [January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol],' one user wrote. Another said Mr Trump is 'losing too many in your base'. It all amounts to a huge headache for Mr Trump and a credibility crisis for his administration. Just last month, he was coming off perhaps the most successful period of his time as President. In less than two weeks, he announced an Israel-Iran ceasefire, sealed a peace accord between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and persuaded European allies to increase defence spending for Nato. But his handling of the Epstein case means cracks are forming in his foundational support. If he's not careful, the saga could start to undermine his broader agenda.
