Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet have approved a plan to seize total control of Gaza and occupy the territory indefinitely. Having already cut off almost all humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, the Israeli government is now planning a direct takeover and occupation and says it intends to continue controlling the flow of food and other assistance, supposedly in order to prevent any of it from ending up in the hands of Hamas.

The Trump administration said Monday, in defiance of a 9-0 Supreme Court order, that it is not required to return a U.S. resident it illegally sent to a Salvadoran concentration camp last month. El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, backed up Trump at a White House meeting Tuesday afternoon, when he declared that he had no intention of sending home Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a 15-year resident of Maryland employed as a union sheet metal worker, who is married and has three children.
