Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz declared that expelling Palestinians from Gaza would be “unacceptable.” Scholz reaffirmed his support for a two-state solution, stating that the Palestinian Authority should assume responsibility for Gaza. He emphasized that peace is only achievable through self-governance in Gaza, and that attempts to achieve peace without West Bank and Gaza autonomy are unlikely to succeed.

The U.S. Department of the Interior has officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, acknowledging the shared coastline between Mexico and the U.S. Google Maps will adopt this new name, but in Mexico, it will remain the Gulf of Mexico. Outside North America, both names—Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America—will be displayed. This decision follows other name changes, such as the renaming of Denali (formerly Mount McKinley), and reflects the evolving dynamics of geographic naming in the region.
