05.02.2025 ⢠Day Gaza Dream Became American
â¨
Trump's meeting with Netanyahu produced an unprecedented proposal for US control of Gaza Strip, suggesting permanent Palestinian relocation and rebuilding Gaza as a "Riviera of the Mid-East." The plan expanded throughout the day to include potential US troop deployment, generating widespread international rejection.
Meanwhile, the administration's federal restructuring accelerated. USAID operations faced paralysis as staff were placed on administrative leave and ordered to return within 30 days. The CIA became the first national security agency to offer buyouts to its entire workforce, following similar offers across federal agencies.
The Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as Attorney General, continuing Trump's successful nomination streak. Federal health workers reported concerns over targeting through a published "DEI targets" list, while Republicans introduced the "Dismantle DEI Act" to support Trump's agenda.
