A Gaza man interviewed by Fox News blames Hamas and complains that the terror group has set them back by 100 years. But Palestinians of this man's generation elected Hamas (2006 legislative election) and enabled it to ultimately seize control of Gaza. When you choose to be led by terrorists, you eventually suffer the consequences. IT

Summary of Hezbollah's tough day: 1. The Lebanese government officially and publicly approved the disarmament of Hezbollah. The army will submit a plan by the end of the month to implement the decision and collect the weapons by the end of 2025. 2. The decision was unanimously approved by the government after Hezbollah ministers left the session. 3. Hezbollah ministers did not resign from the government and the decision binds them. 4. During the important session, Israeli UAVs attacked twice in the Albqa area: 6 killed and 10 wounded as a result of the attacks during the government meeting. 5. The American envoy welcomed the outcome. 6. Hezbollah supporters took to the streets of Dahieh to vent (video attached). ##### Hezbollah is more humiliated today than ever. It is not easy to be a Hezbollah supporter in Lebanon today, especially since the government's decision against Hezbollah is supported both domestically and internationally. (Abu Ali) 1 Like |

Prime Minister's Office: The Security Cabinet approved the Prime Minister's proposal to defeat Hamas. The IDF will prepare to take control of the city of Gaza while providing humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside the combat zones. The Cabinet adopted by a majority vote the five principles to end the war: 1. Disarm Hamas. 2. Return all hostages - both the living and the fallen. 3. Demilitarize the Gaza Strip. 4. Israeli security control over the Gaza Strip. 5. The existence of an alternative civilian government that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority. An overwhelming majority of Cabinet ministers believed that the alternative plan presented to the Cabinet would not achieve the defeat of Hamas nor the return of the hostages. |

The coming weeks mark the decisive phase of the war in Gaza. We are no longer playing games or holding out hope that Hamas will agree to a hostage deal. The internet will soon be flooded with fake displays of whining and crying — but this is it. The time for Gaza City has come. Based on what we’ve seen in other areas of operation, not much will remain of it. Once Gaza City is secured, if Hamas still refuses to surrender, we will advance to their final strongholds in the central Gaza Strip: Nusirat, Bureij, and Deir al-Balah. This is where most of the remaining living hostages are believed to be held. In other words, the takeover of Gaza City will give Hamas one last chance to accept a deal — to avoid total destruction and possibly secure immunity for their terrorists — in exchange for the release of all hostages. By October 7th, 2025, we may see the surrender of Hamas and the release of hostages. Many challenges still lie ahead, but the path is now clear and the decision has been made. As in the days leading up to the invasion of Rafah, you are about to witness mounting diplomatic pressure on Israel not to take Gaza City. But just as we stood firm then — clearing Rafah of Hamas, eliminating their leader Yahya Sinwar, and cutting off their vital smuggling route from Egypt — so too will Gaza City be taken. And once it is, it will no longer serve as a safe haven for anyone who vows to destroy Israel! 1 Like 1 Share

U.S. Secretary of State: Hamas is not making concessions because it believes it is winning in global media U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was interviewed last night on EWTN. Here are some key points: Israel is the one that ultimately decides what needs to be done for its security. There will never be peace in Gaza as long as Hamas exists. The reason for Hamas’s existence is the desire to destroy Israel. Hamas wants to expel every Jew from the Middle East, and that is its goal. As long as a group like Hamas has weapons and the ability to fight, there is a threat to peace. Hamas believes it is winning the global public relations war and therefore is not willing to make any concessions. The talks with Hamas collapsed on the day the President of France unilaterally recognized a Palestinian state. Messages about recognizing a Palestinian state have made it harder to achieve peace and reach an agreement with Hamas. Hamas feels encouraged by the messages regarding recognition of a Palestinian state. I agree with Netanyahu that recognizing a Palestinian state would reward Hamas. The establishment of a Palestinian state is not a real issue - it is impossible to determine its borders or who would control it. A state, or even an autonomous region, cannot be established unless it is possible to determine who will control it.

Pally state (Gaza) Child terrorist. Loay Husam Mohammad Aql, age 17, was killed on October 7, 2023. He is listed in the Gaza MoH Casualty records under ID 422592006. He was mourned as a member of the Omar Al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP). According to tributes, he was “martyred on 10/7/2023 while storming our occupied lands.” In Gaza, even children are indoctrinated into terror.

What was so dramatic about the cabinet decision last night? In the past two years, there have been decisions far more dramatic — sending soldiers to the front lines or risking the lives of hostages. (The decisions to bomb Iran, strike Hezbollah, or begin maneuvering in Gaza after October 7 were much more “dangerous.”) So what’s all the drama about? And why did even Tzipi Livni, who left political life years ago, rush to demand that the head of the Histadrut labor union shut down the economy (and what does he even have to do with this)? The answer: For decades, generals have repeated the mantra that every military maneuver must lead to a political horizon and diplomatic achievement, and that this is the measure of its success. Last night, the cabinet changed the direction of the diplomatic ship — and all the former officials and veterans of the “political solution” camp are in shock. For decades, the career path of every brave general leaving the IDF was to join some “strategic research institute” — in Washington or in Israel (such as the INSS) — most aligned with progressive Democrats in the U.S. and supported by them. There, they were taught about “political solutions.” The overarching idea promoted by all these think tanks was that the Israeli–Palestinian conflict must end in an agreement and compromise. Hundreds of plans and proposals were drafted over the decades, and even a few international agreem[/b]ents were signed in that spirit. [b]The cabinet decision last night — to conquer Gaza — launches an alternative political plan, also backed by the U.S., which is different from and opposite to all the models presented to us over the years. Main points of the new political plan: • The two-state solution has failed and is off the table (the Europeans made some noise for solidarity’s sake, then vanished). • Hamas — representing most of Gaza’s population and a significant portion of the Arabs in Judea and Samaria — will be eliminated as a governing and military entity. • Gaza will no longer be considered Palestinian territory. It was never under the sovereignty of any state. In essence, Gaza is terra nullius — land belonging to no one. Egypt gave it up; Israel got stuck with it in the 1981 peace agreement with Egypt and relinquished it in the disengagement. Now, the U.S. president wants it. • The U.S. and Israel are coordinated on the “political horizon”: Israel will defeat Hamas, and the U.S. will support the demilitarization of the area — removing weapons and fighters. Homeless residents who wish to emigrate will receive American assistance and destination countries. Those who remain will integrate into the U.S. economic development vision. • And why is Gaza so important to the U.S.? I have written more than once about Gaza’s role as a critical passage in the American vision for a southern goods and energy corridor, as part of Trump’s new world order plan. (See thread.) The entire security leadership and political opposition leadership are in complete denial — for them, Trump’s plan either does not exist or will never materialize. In their eyes, we are not moving toward a political solution but toward a swamp of terrorism — as if we learned nothing from Lebanon and Gaza in the past. Isn’t such conduct even more irresponsible? To ignore a known plan, one that representatives of the Israeli and American governments have repeated again and again? And more surprising than anything is to see this denial from someone who served here as prime minister, knows the U.S. administration, understands diplomatic processes, hears from administration officials — yet refuses to acknowledge what is happening. Instead, he chooses to sow panic and despair among the Israeli public, tired but determined to win. This is what former Prime Minister Yair Lapid said about last night’s cabinet decision: “The cabinet decision last night is a disaster that will lead to many more disasters. In complete contradiction to the opinion of the army and security ranks, without considering the wear and exhaustion of the fighting forces, Ben Gvir and Smotrich dragged Netanyahu into a move that will take many months, lead to the death of the hostages, the killing of many soldiers, cost the Israeli taxpayer tens of billions, and result in diplomatic collapse. This is exactly what Hamas wanted: for Israel to be stuck in the field without a goal, without defining the picture of the day after, in a useless conquest that no one understands where it leads. History and your common sense will judge who was right.” (Shlomo Filber) |

IDF: Yesterday (Thursday), the IDF, with the direction of ISA intelligence, struck and eliminated in the area of Beqaa, Lebanon, the terrorist Muhammad Wishah “Abu Khali”, a senior Syrian terrorist in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP) in Syria. The terrorist was responsible for coordinating with other terrorist organizations, strengthening ties and coordination with the Shiite axis, and recently operated to advance military operations against Israeli targets. The terrorist Abu Khali was appointed as head of the terrorist organization's Military-Security Department in Syria, after Shantal Al Aal, his predecessor, was eliminated in a hideout in Beirut in September 2024. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP) is a long-standing terrorist organization with a history of carrying out various terrorist attacks against Israeli’s in Israel and around the world.
