I think it is really important to point out that the idea of being relocated is a very emotional and unsettling one for Palestinians. Historically, Palestinians have been displaced or forcibly moved from their land and then never allowed to return again, including most Palestinians living in Gaza right now. They're refugees from what was once Palestinian land and is now Israel.

Trump made the comments in the Oval Office while speaking to reporters, but didn't specify what that threat meant or how it would work. He called for the ceasefire to be canceled by noon Saturday if all hostages were not released by Hamas, but also said that Israel could, quote, override it.

The fragile ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which the U.S., including members from Trump's administration, helped broker, calls for Israeli hostages to be released over the course of several weeks in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and detainees each time.

Hamas has said it will delay the release of more hostages, quote, until further notice, accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement. Israel has said it has placed its troops in Gaza on heightened alert. Kat Lonsdorf, NPR News, Tel Aviv.

After Trump was elected last November, several far-right Israeli ministers commented that this might now be the time for Israel to move on West Bank annexation. You know, I should point out that all of this would be illegal under international law. But Trump also appointed key people in his administration who have said that they would support Israeli annexation.

The Israeli military took Witkoff to the Netzerim Corridor, according to Israeli media. It's a throughway created by the military during the war to split the Gaza Strip in two. Witkoff's visit to Gaza is the first of any senior U.S. official throughout the war and in many years. He also met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Witkoff helped broker the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement, along with other U.S., Egyptian, and Qatari officials. His Israeli tour comes after a trip to Saudi Arabia, and days before Netanyahu is expected to travel to Washington to meet Trump. The Trump administration is urging Israel to extend the ceasefire, while Netanyahu is under pressure from far-right allies to return to fighting in Gaza.
