Trump Welcomes to 'White' Refugees After Harsh U.S Immigration Crackdown – Media Cries 'Hypocrisy'

U.S President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time offering asylum to white South African refugees fleeing what he calls “genocide.” But the move has sparked outrage and raised questions about hypocrisy as Trump continues his tough stance on immigration, particularly toward Black and Hispanic migrants.

The IDF has conducted extensive bombing and troop mobilization in strategic areas. Reports indicate plans to “conquer” the entire enclave and relocate Palestinians southward. Over 115 Palestinians were killed on Friday alone, according to Al Jazeera. The offensive follows the breakdown of a US-Egypt-Qatar-brokered ceasefire in March.

'We'll Handle Gaza' : Trump's Gaza Message STUNS Allies A Day After Israel Kills 56 Palestinians

During a Gulf tour that notably excluded Israel, President Donald Trump acknowledged the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating that “a lot of people are starving.” His remarks follow deadly Israeli airstrikes that have killed over 56 people since midnight and come amid warnings from aid agencies of severe shortages in food, water, and medicine. As Israel maintains a total blockade and cuts off aid, Hamas has rejected U.S. proposals, calling for immediate humanitarian relief as the baseline for ceasefire talks. #Trump #GazaCrisis #IsraelGazaWar #Airstrikes #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEastNews #TrumpSpeech #GazaUnderAttack #Palestine #Israel #GazaStrip #Ceasefire #AidCrisis #Starvation #Hamas #FreedomZone #TrumpMiddleEastTour #USPolitics #GlobalConflict #GazaSiege #GazaAid #UNWarning #TrumpOnGaza #HumanRights #CrisisResponse #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #TrumpStatement #WarNews #Blockade Also Read What is Al-Ayyala, The Hair-Flipping Ritual Performed By Women To Welcome Trump In UAE? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/what-is-al-ayyala-the-hair-flipping-ritual-performed-by-women-to-welcome-trump-in-uae-4155333.html?ref=DMDesc Days After Pahalgam Attack, Pakistan Signed Deal With Trump Family-Backed Cryptocurrency Venture :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/days-after-pahalgam-attack-pakistan-signed-deal-with-trump-family-backed-cryptocurrency-venture-4154893.html?ref=DMDesc Kangana Ranaut Takes Jibe At Donald Trump, Later Deletes It - Says Did It On 'JP Nadda's Request' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kangana-ranaut-takes-jibe-at-donald-trump-says-deleted-post-on-jp-naddas-request-4154455.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.420~

US 'Troubled' By Gaza Aid Crisis As Rubio Signals Openness To Alternatives Amid Famine Warnings

As famine looms in Gaza, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington is open to alternatives after a US-Israel aid plan was slammed by critics and rejected by the UN. Speaking from Turkey, Rubio emphasized concern for Gaza’s civilians, calling for solutions that bypass Hamas. The new Geneva-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to deliver 300 million meals, but little is known about it. The UN insists its impartial system remains the best route. Meanwhile, Netanyahu prepares a new offensive and reiterates a firm stance on Hamas’ elimination. #GazaCrisis #MarcoRubio #USIsraelAid #FamineInGaza #RubioStatement #GazaAidPlan #GazaHumanitarianFoundation #GHF #UNRelief #Hamas #Netanyahu #TrumpMiddleEastTour #IsraelGazaWar #MiddleEastCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #FoodAidGaza #GazaBlockade #PeacePlan #UNvsGHF #GazaUpdates ~ED.346~HT.336~GR.122~
