60,000 Palestinian lives lost in a war?! This is a humanitarian crisis and the world is turning a blind eye. Shameful!

Turkey's opposition to Trump's Gaza plan is understandable, but they also need to offer constructive solutions.

All conflicts have civilian casualties. It's a tragic reality that we must strive to minimize, but not something we can completely eliminate.

Trump's plan for Gaza is a recipe for disaster and further displacement. It won't bring peace, just more suffering.

We must never forget the suffering of the Palestinian people. But we must also acknowledge the challenges Israel faces.

Trump's 'takeover' plan is a long-term solution for the people of Gaza. It will provide them with security and prosperity.

Trump's understanding of the Middle East is far better than his critics give him credit for. His approach is bold and decisive.

Rebuilding Gaza is important, but Palestinians also need to take responsibility for their own actions.

Supporting Israel's right to defend itself is not a sign of disrespect for human rights. All countries have the right to defend themselves.
