During a “March of Return” rally last week in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip recorded by Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas-Gaza), a cardboard cutout of U.S. President Donald Trump was set on fire.

Next to the cutout stood a coffin with the Israeli flag and text reading “the deal of the century” printed on it, a reference to the Trump administration’s Mideast peace plan.

Photographs and reports resurfaced showing Andy Slaughter, one of Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s first appointments, meeting Hamas officials during visits to Jerusalem and Gaza in 2010.
