110 mortars and rockets found hidden in UNRWA bags | World Israel News

IDF troops searching southern Gaza discovered a stash of about 110 mortars, multiple rockets, and other combat gear, all hidden inside blankets and UNRWA aid packages.

As I predicted, we are back to where we were pre-Oct 7 only now Hamas has proven the effectiveness of hostage taking, antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment is at all time highs, and Trump is fully on the side of the Arab states in aiding the Palestinians. Another war where Israel snatched defeat out of the hands of victory.

Trump claims 'it looks like' Hamas will disarm; Witkoff: They'll give up their AK-47s | The Times of Israel

US President Donald Trump says that “it looks like” Hamas is “going to disarm.”

He doesn’t provide any proof for the claim made during a cabinet meeting, and Hamas officials, as recently as several hours ago, had insisted that wasn’t the case.

I generally like what Trump is doing but on this subject he is a complete moron and his attitude and language is disgusting and despicable. Particularly this quote:

“Hamas was a big factor in getting all of the hostages back. They found the dead hostages,” Trump says. “Between Israel and Hamas working together, they got them back.”

To illustrate how wrong this is imagine if Reagan had said that about the hostages Iran was holding?

By definition the hostage takers don’t get complimented for returning the hostages they took. Hamas has reaped an unbelievable windfall at the hands of Trump, Biden, and Bibi.

US allows Hamas to remain as 'political party' if they disarm - report | World Israel News

Israel has voiced major objections to the reported framework, particularly any plan that would allow Hamas to remain a political force.

This is so disgusting. This represents a straight up lie on Trump’s part and Bibi’s (if Israel doesn’t fight this). Israel needs to firmly reject the proposed second phase (they never signed that part) and proceed to take out Hamas once and for all.

Under pressure from his own gov't, Netanyahu looks to enlist Trump to change 2nd phase of hostage deal

Israel's finance minister presses Netanyahu to renegotiate hostage deal and promote annexation plan for Judea and Samaria during meeting with Trump.

As I have been pointing out regarding this deal; it is a BAD deal. Now Bibi and Trump are going to look bad because they are going to try and alter the deal. How do they think that is going to play in the media? How is it not clearly a bad deal if they already want to alter it? And finally, one only needs to look at some of what they want to alter (withdrawal from the Phildelpi Corridor and resumption of the fighting) to realize that they gave up stuff in the deal that loses the war if they don't alter it.
