President Trump’s proposal to transfer millions of people out of Gaza was hailed by the Israeli right and condemned by Palestinians. Some experts say it may be a negotiating tactic.

The US has sent the first group of migrants to Guantanamo Bay since President Donald Trump announced plans to expand migrant detention at the base, officials say. A brief statement from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the detainees were part of the Tren de Aragua - a gang that originated in Venezuela's prisons.

U.S. officials say the first military aircraft carrying detained migrants to Guantanamo Bay is expected to depart on Tuesday.

The Trump administration has started flying detained migrants on a military aircraft to Guantanamo Bay after the president ordered a large-scale effort to prepare for thousands of prisoners to be sent to the US naval base in Cuba.
