Thousands of displaced Palestinians begin journey to northern Gaza | First Thing

Families start returning home after first major crisis of ceasefire overcome

Good morning.

Palestinians displaced from their homes in northern Gaza began to return to the region early on Monday, the territory's interior ministry said, after the first major crisis of the truce between between Israel and Hamas.

What has Donald Trump said about Gaza? In comments strongly rejected by the Palestinians, Egypt, and Jordan, for fear that Israel will not let refugees return, he said Gaza's people should at least temporarily be resettled elsewhere.

What have others said about the firings? Republican senator Lindsey Graham brushed off their unlawfulness. He acknowledged that Trump violated the law (telling Meet the Press that technically yeah", he did), before adding: I'm not losing a whole lot of sleep that he wants to change the personnel out."
