A Palestinian man was killed and seven people were wounded by Israeli fire overnight as crowds gathered in the hope of returning to the northern Gaza Strip under a fragile week-old ceasefire.

In a separate development, President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that most of Gaza’s population should be at least temporarily resettled elsewhere, including in Egypt and Jordan, in order to “just clean out” the war-ravaged enclave.
