Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are some of the latest updates from the Israel's war on Gaza:

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday called US President Trump's idea of displacing Palestinians from Gaza "remarkable" and that there was “nothing wrong” in pursuing it.  The plan itself has been widely decried as amounting to ethnic cleansing.

  • Three Palestinians have been injured after being beaten by Israeli soldiers at the Hamra checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent, Al Jazeera Arabic reports.

  • Iran's foreign ministry rejected Thursday what it called a "shocking" plan laid out by US President Donald Trump to take over Gaza and "forcibly displace" Palestinians. 

  • Malaysia sees any proposal for the forced displacement of Palestinians as constituting ethnic cleansing and a violation of international law, the foreign ministry said on Thursday.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with senior US representatives, on Thursday, including Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune in the morning and House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson in the afternoon.

  • At least one person has been killed and others injured as a wall collapsed in Gaza, amid stormy conditions, Al Jazeera reported.
