05.02.2025The Day Gaza Became A Resort Plan
Trump's proposal to transform Gaza into a "Middle East Riviera" by relocating Palestinians and placing the territory under US control dominated the morning headlines. The plan, evolving from initial reports of Palestinian relocation to a full resort development proposal, drew immediate condemnation from UN Chief Guterres, who labeled it "ethnic cleansing."

By mid-morning, attention shifted to the court ruling requiring Sywert van Lienden and partners to repay €20 million from their COVID-19 face mask profits to their foundation. The afternoon brought news of a shooting incident at Brussels metro stations, prompting closures.

Minister Madlener rejected parliamentary demands for fatbike regulations, declining to implement helmet requirements or age restrictions. The death of 15-year-old Naomi from the Zwartewaal bus accident was confirmed in the afternoon.
