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.
