RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israel ordered new evacuations in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah on Saturday, forcing tens of thousands more people to move as it prepares to expand its military operation closer to the heavily populated central area, in defiance of growing pressure amid the war from close ally the United States and others. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] As pro-Palestinian protests continued, Israel’s military also said it was moving into an area of devastated northern Gaza where it asserted that the Hamas militant group has regrouped. Israel has now evacuated the eastern third of Rafah, considered Gaza’s last refuge.

    Forrest Gump once said, "I'm not a smart man, but I do know what love is." Well, Rudy Giuliani *really* isn't a smart man, and judging by his 3 divorces, doesn't seem to know too much about love either. But man can the chode humiliate himself in service of Donald Trump.
