The Plan: No Palestinian state; No Palestinian Authority in Gaza; Hamas goes to dustbin of history after releasing all prisoners; Nethanyu becomes the peace maker after killing 64,000 Palestinians; Trump runs Gaza as real estate bonanza follows in a land soaked in fresh blood.

Queen Mary I was crowned in the Abbey #onthisday in 1553. Anne of Cleves, fourth wife of Henry VIII, and the future Queen Elizabeth I were in attendance. Mary chose not to use the ancient Coronation Chair for the crowning as she thought this might have been 'polluted' by her…
