US president Donald Trump was front and center for Chelsea’s trophy lift and was greeted by widespread boos at the Fifa Club World Cup final at a sold-out MetLife Stadium on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Trump was booed while appearing on video boards during the playing of the national anthem before the match, and then later while walking out with Fifa president Gianni Infantino to present the competition’s trophy, individual awards and runners-up medals.

Later, Trump and Infantino jointly carried the Club World Cup trophy to the Chelsea team on the stage. Infantino moved out of frame of television cameras while Trump stayed put, finding himself squarely in focus as Chelsea captain Reece James lifted the trophy and his team-mates celebrated around him.

Israel was already committing war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, Olmert said, and construction of the camp would mark an escalation.

“It is a concentration camp. I am sorry,” he said, when asked about the plans laid out by Israel Katz last week. Once inside, Palestinians would not be allowed to leave, except to go to other countries, Katz said.

Two top executives at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the world’s most powerful management consultancies, have been stripped of their leadership roles following revelations that the company helped model the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, a scheme widely condemned as a blueprint for ethnic cleansing.

Internal emails and planning documents obtained by The Financial Times (FT) show that BCG staff helped estimate the cost of forcibly relocating Palestinians from Gaza, a project supported by Israeli and US figures and carried out under the guise of humanitarian reconstruction. BCG also played a larger role than previously admitted in the formation of the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a new aid body intended to replace UN-administered support and seen by many as a tool to sideline international law and institutions.

raeli strikes have killed at least 16 Palestinians, including 10 children and three women, and wounded many others as they attempted to collect nutritional aid for children in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.

In one video, a group of children and a woman who were victims of the attack are seen placed on a cart being pulled by a donkey, illustrating a lack of emergency vehicles and equipment compounded by a severe lack of fuel in the besieged enclave.
