-----------------------------------Qatari officials who mediated the pause in fighting in Gaza described “any plan that would end with relocation or reoccupation” as a red line.Trump’s new administration has promised “unwavering support” for Israel, and key positions have been taken by hardline supporters of its expansion. His ambassador to the UN said in confirmation hearings that she considered Israel had a “biblical right” to the West Bank, which Israel occupied in 1967 but most of the world recognises as the heart of a future Palestinian state.On Saturday Trump said he had ordered the resumption of shipments of some of the largest bombs to Israel, a widely expected move. Biden had paused delivery of the 2,000lb (907kg) bombs owing to concerns about civilian casualties in Gaza caused by the powerful weapons, which can rip through thick concrete and metal over a large area.When asked why he released the powerful bombs, Trump responded: “Because they bought them.”
