“On October 4th, 2025, in an interview with Axios, President Donal Trump stressed that one of the main goals behind his Gaza plan was to restore Israel’s international standing. ‘Bibi took it very far and Israel lost a lot of support in the world,’ Trump said. ‘Now I am gonna get all that support back.’ Under Trump’ s plan, a supposed ceasefire took effect on October 10th. But Israel only withdrew from less than half of the Gaza strip, and killed at least 93 people in the next two weeks, after killing at least that many per day for the previous two years. Israel has only allowed 15% of the humanitarian aid called for in the plan to enter Gaza, and has kept the critical Rafah crossing from Egypt into Gaza closed.” (10/27/25)
