When President-elect Trump vowed on Tuesday that “all hell will break out in the Middle East” if hostages taken from Israel during the Hamas-led attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, are not freed before he takes office, Gazans were left to wonder: if this is not hell, then what is?

A point that risks getting overlooked: Meta said it is ending fact-checking *in the US* — but ~90% of its users are outside the US.
