Peloni: These proposals/projects represent very important changes, with significant implications for a post-Oslo future.
The two-state paradigm, once widely endorsed, is increasingly viewed as untenable given the persistent threats and failures of past negotiations.

For decades, Israel has navigated the tension between the aspiration to restore full sovereignty for Jews in their ancestral homeland and the persistent international pressure to partition the land to carve out yet another failed terror state. Recent developments suggest a decisive shift in this dynamic.
Peloni: Since Trump came to office, he has been focused upon the strategy of isolating and confronting Iran. From this isolated perspective, tightening the ties between the Gulf allies and the US was a strategically adept move as it promoted Trump’s domestic economic agenda while also advantaging his Great Game geopolitical contest with China. The cost of gaining this leverage in the geopolitical struggle with China, however, was to promote a terror slave state such as Qatar as being good people on the world stage, even as they are clearly responsible for the supporting Iran’s war against Israel, funding Hamas’ attack on October 7, and sponsoring the pro-Hamas teaching and pro-Hamas riots on US campuses. So too, the linkage of US support for Saudi weaponry and nuclear program with SA joining the Abraham Accords was another opportunity cost of Trump’s Arabian Gulf gambit challenging China. While these Gulf states will maintain a balancing position between the US and China, the economic largess which they advanced to the US in the resulting deals of Trump’s Gulf Tour will leave them less able to economically partner with China, providing at least this much support for isolating China from these regional actors. The consequences of lying down with dogs will of course not be easily or quickly shed, and it completely contrasts with Trump’s first term objectives of isolating and eliminating state sponsors of terror, as he is now readily connecting, trading and promoting them.
How should the Americans hasten the fall of the Iranian regime? They must tighten the economic screws. They must not lift sanctions, but double down on sanctions. The Iranians, with one-third of them now living below the poverty line, are in despair.
IDF Strikes Yemen Ports: The Israeli Air Force launched new airstrikes against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on May 16. According to an IDF statement, the strikes targeted “terrorist infrastructure of the Houthi terrorist regime” located in the Yemeni ports of Al-Salif and Hodeidah. The latest attack followed Israeli airstrikes on May 7 that targeted the Houthi-controlled Sanaa International Airport, which reportedly caused $500 million worth of damage.
Peloni: The world leadership won’t acknowledge what took place during Covid because their objectives would seem to be not yet abandoned. A very concerning thought given a great deal of substantive support with the recent announcement of The Stargate Project by Pres. Trump on his very first day of his second term. Accountability for the Covid scam would not only apply a remedy for the harms associated with the deployment of the harmful practices associated with Operation Warp Speed, but to also act as a deterrent for such harmful practices being deployed again in the future. Daylight is the best disinfectant, and yet the darkness surrounding Operation Warp Speed persists, and not a single charge has been brought against a single individual, anywhere.
It was about a month into lockdowns, April 2020, and my phone rang with an unusual number. I picked up and the caller identified himself as Rajeev Venkayya, a name I knew from my writings on the 2005 pandemic scare. Now the head of a vaccine company, he once served as Special Assistant to the President for Biodefense, and claimed to be the inventor of pandemic planning.
Peloni: It seems like only yesterday when this Jihadist had a $1o million dollar bounty on his head for involvement in targeting US servicemen.
Israel reportedly cautious but not opposed to US sanctions relief for Syria

Israeli and Syrian representatives have reportedly held talks in recent days to ease tensions and explore the possibility of Syria joining the Abraham Accords, multiple news outlets reported Thursday.

While the Jordan Option has been discussed for 40 years now, it has not gotten any traction in its original form. It posited that Jordan was Palestine and aspired to co-opt the Hashemites to embrace this concept.
But the Hashemite Kingdom wanted no part in it. It wanted to keep Jordanians separate from Palestinians. The Palestinians represented a threat to their Kingdom. Thus it advocated for the creation of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River.
My good friend, Bill, just alerted me to breaking news regarding the Kurdish freedom fighting group, the PKK in Turkey, which only resorted to armed conflict because of the Turks’s cultural genocide (tortures, jailings, and massacres as well) against their people in which the Kurdish language was outlawed along with other elements defining their very individual identity. The Turks renamed the 23 million of 40 million total Kurds in Anatolia “Mountain Turks” instead…
Axios obtained the audio of former President Biden’s October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur. In the first segment below, recorded on the first day of interviews, former President Biden was questioned about where he kept documents. Biden had difficulty recalling that it was 2015 when his son Beau died. Biden also shared that President Obama discouraged him from running for president.
The interview tapes reveal the scope of cognitive decline the control agents around Joe Biden were trying to keep hidden from the country. As the tapes reveal, Joe Biden was not in any capacity to be in office. The question remains, who was running the country? Listen:
Peloni: This plan is highly problematic. Libya’s civil war which broke out in the wake of the NATO war to eliminate Gaddafi, is still not resolved, with fighting being reported to have broken out most recently in the past few days. With Haftar’s LNA controlling about two thirds of the country, including Benghazi, and the GNU holding only about a third of the country, the influx of a million Gazans would significantly impact the balance of power in Libya, most notably to the likely benefit of the GNU which is backed by both Qatar and Turkey. Note that while Libya has a population of about 11 million, only a portion of this number is allied with the GNU, which would make the influx of one million Gazans into that country all the more significant. In other words, if the GNU represented 6-7 million Libyans, the massive influx of a million Gazans would lead to them, as a group, representing a significant portion of the population of the GNU supporters. Relevantly, Egypt has a population of some 118 million people, but the Sisi govt fears the radicalizing repercussions of the influx of just one million Gazans into this number, and yet, it is being contemplated that these Gazans should be sent to Libya where they will be a million out of less the 10million supporters of the GNU.
Janet Levy: The terrorist slave state of Qatar has spent $100 billion to influence members of Congress, to indoctrinate students from K-12 to university level, to buy favorable coverage at U.S. newsrooms, and to sway think tanks and corporations. It has also invested $225 million for lobbying and PR in Washington, D.C., and $8 BILLION on Al Udeid Air Base in the Doha area – the largest U.S. base in the region. Qatar spends far more on influence peddling in the U.S. capital than any other country – 2/3rds more than Communist China!
“Conservative” Newsmax received $50 million from Al Thani in 2019. Common Sense Media Holdings was the recipient of $180,000.
The Arab propaganda machine aided and abetted by the UN, EU, US and the main stream media, which is just about everybody, would have you believe otherwise.
They demand that the Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria and Gaza be granted statehood on all lands not controlled by Israel when the cease fire lines were agreed upon in 1949. This is referred to as the Two-State Solution. This solution is at the heart of the Arab Peace Initiative which was agreed to in 2002 at the Beirut Summit which provided Read more…
One of the current provisions of the bill would be to preclude the ability of Israeli NGOs that receive a majority of their funding from foreign governments to petition the Israeli High Court.

One of the dramatic post-October 7 realizations in Israel has been the recognition that we have been consistently manipulated by foreign governments and related entities in their efforts to impact Israeli policy.
While this has been a state of affairs that Im Tirtzu has been highlighting for several years, the recent intensified focus on “deep state” issues has made this manipulation more visible – and unacceptable.
Peloni: It would seem that Qatar has made an all of America consquest, as it bought its way into the most intrinsic aspects of American infrastructure and the most key centers of American power. To rid America of this foreign domination, it will take an all of society response to reject this plague which is re-imagining American values and injecting anti-American principles upon America’s youth. While the influence stems from Qatar, the source of failure lies in the US, and the solution to this onslaught, along with the salvation of the American people lies with the American people. Silence indicates consent, such as the silence outside the Qatari embassy following the revelation that Qatar was funding the antisemitic riots on US campuses, the same silence which came after it was known that Qatar had been involved in the bribing a sitting US senator. Americans must retake a central control of their own future, divesting anti-American corruption which saturates the media, entertainment, politics and education, but this won’t be achieved thru silence.
Once accused of financing terrorism, Qatar is now celebrated by Trump as a key US ally, announcing mega-investment deals
U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East has been billed as an economic mission, with White House officials signaling ahead of his departure to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates that the focus would be on attracting large-scale investments to the United States – not traditional diplomacy.
Yet, judging by his statements and actions during the tour, Trump appears determined to emerge not only as a “deal maker” but also a “peacemaker.”
Terrorist Fired at Passing Vehicles: A pregnant 30-year-old Israeli woman has been murdered in a terrorist attack in the West Bank as her husband drove her to the hospital to deliver their baby. Tzeela Gez was killed and her husband, Hananel, was lightly wounded after a terrorist opened fire on the couple’s car as they traveled from their home in the northern West Bank community of Bruchin. Doctors performed an emergency C-section to deliver the baby, who is now in intensive care. Hamas praised the shooting but did not claim responsibility for carrying out the attack.
