Why Trump proposal on Palestinian displacement from Gaza rings alarm bells in the region
The proposal is likely to heighten fears among Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians of being driven out of the coastal strip, and stoke concern in Arab states which have long been worried about the destabilising impact any such exodus would have. Palestinians have long been haunted by what they call the "Nakba", or catastrophe, when 700,000 of them were dispossessed from their homes when Israel was created in 1948. Many were driven out or fled to neighbouring Arab states, including to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, where many of them or their descendants still live in refugee camps.

South Korea's Yoon faces disgrace over declaration of martial law
SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's term in office has been dogged by personal scandals, an unyielding opposition and rifts within his own party, and a rapid fall from grace over his short-lived declaration of martial law last month. The 64-year-old former prosecutor has already been impeached and jailed and on Sunday he faced unprecedented insurrection charges. He denies wrongdoing over the martial law declaration and said he did it to protect the country from "anti-state forces."

South Korea President Yoon indicted for insurrection over martial law decree
SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's prosecutors indicted impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday on charges of leading an insurrection with his short-lived imposition of martial law on Dec. 3, Yoon's lawyers and the main opposition party said. Yoon's lawyers criticized the indictment as the "worst choice" made by the prosecution service, while the main opposition party welcomed the decision. The charges are unprecedented for a South Korean president, and if convicted, Yoon could face years in prison for his shock martial law decree, which sought to ban political and parliamentary activity and control the media.
