WASHINGTON: China said on Monday (Jan 27) it is willing to repatriate confirmed Chinese nationals from the United States, as US President Donald Trump has threatened tariffs and sanctions on some countries if they do not cooperate on accepting deportees.
Displaced Palestinians gather with their belongings near a roadblock on Salah al-Din Street, as they wait to return to their homes in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025, days after the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas came into effect.
"It's like I was born again and we were victorious again," said a Palestinian mother, Umm Mohammed Ali, part of the miles-long throng that moved slowly up the coastal road. Families repeatedly displaced after over 15 months of war erupted in cheers at shelters and tent encampments when they heard the crossings would be opened.
Despite the ceasefire agreement, Palestinian hospital officials said a bulldozer driver was killed by an Israeli missile along the coastal road west of Nuseirat camp in central Gaza Strip. There was no immediate Israeli comment. Many of those displaced have had to move several times as Israel designated parts of Gaza as humanitarian zones and then cleared them out before mounting bombardments and ground operations.
Hamas has also provided a list of all hostages to be released during the first six-week phase of the ceasefire agreement, stating their condition.

Israel Intensifies Attacks in Northern Gaza, Killing at Least 25 PalestiniansIsraeli forces have intensified their attacks in northern Gaza, including in the Shejaia area and outskirts of Gaza City, resulting in at least 25 Palestinian deaths. The air strikes destroyed targeted areas, but there was no immediate statement from the Israeli military regarding the incident or the identities of the victims. Meanwhile, in al-Buriej, central Gaza, Israeli forces targeted a fighter alleged to be operating in an area that launched rockets into Israel the previous day. Following a warning from the Israeli military, residents were ordered to evacuate before the attack. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, two people were reported killed in the al-Buriej attack, while 15 more died in an air strike in Jabalia. However, there was no immediate confirmation from Gaza health officials. The Israeli military claimed the attacks targeted Hamas fighters. Northern Gaza, including Beit Hanoun, Jabalia, and Beit Lahiya, is now nearly completely destroyed after residents were evacuated. There are speculations that the Zionist regime aims to make the area a buffer zone after the conflict ends, although Israel denies these claims. The Israeli military campaign in Gaza has claimed the lives of over 45,500 Palestinians, according to health officials in the Hamas-controlled area. Nearly the entire 2.3 million population of Gaza is now displaced, with a large part of the territory devastated.
