The twenty Israeli hostages will by now have been released by Hamas (but not the bodies of the 28 hostages Hamas murdered) , and the 1750 Palestinian prisoners, including 195 who were serving life sentences for multiple murders, have simultaneously been freed by Israel. Now comes Phase 2 of the Trump Plan, which looks almost impossible to fulfill, given Hamas’ intransigence. This phase of the plan requires Hamas to disarm completely, otherwise Israel will not proceed with further troop withdrawals. More on the unbridgeable gap between Israel and Hamas on Phase 2 are discussed here: “The Ghost of Gaza: How Hamas Survived,” by Gregg Roman, Middle East Forum, October 10, 2025:

Article V protection and military training to the state sponsors of Islamic terror.

by Daniel Greenfield |  Oct 12, 2025

What do you get if you back an Islamic terrorist group that launches a regional war?

If you’re Qatar, you get Article V protection, normally allotted only to NATO allies, that declares the United States has to respond to any attack on the Islamic terror state which harbored the mastermind of 9/11.

Peloni:  Jerome explains that Israel’s short term vs long term interests and threats have competing demands on today’s decisions, many of which are not entirely aligned, and some of which are mutually exclusive.

By Jerome R. Corsi | Am Thinker | Oct 13, 2025

In recent weeks, President Trump’s strong support of Israel has been challenged by his increasing irritation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Now that we are on the verge of a historic breakthrough with Trump’s brilliant construct of a deal Hamas has accepted, Netanyahu is about to face the greatest challenge of his life.

The peace plan for Gaza proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, which is currently being partially implemented ahead of the expected hostage release late Sunday or early Monday, is raising concerns in Israel over the prominent role given to Qatar in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip at the end of the war.

Hopes that Hamas will voluntarily disarm, that international forces will deploy in the Strip, and that a process of building a Palestinian government in which Hamas does not participate will begin, are false hopes.

A deal between Israel and Hamas is a done deal, and even if last-minute obstacles appear on the way to achieving it, it will come about. Why? Because President Donald Trump wants it, and in matters concerning Israel and its future his will and opinion carry decisive weight.

Peloni:  PM Netanyahu addresses the importance of the future survival of Israel being dependent upon the unity of the Israeli people as the enemies of the nation attempt a new pretense of reform.  He speaks of the return of the soldiers and of the hostages, of the joy which these events represent along with the important sacrifices which have been made by both the fallen and the wounded in this war.

Peloni:  When Hamas was left in power while simultaneously being reinvigorated with the return of unfettered control of aid in the areas it controlled, the script was flipped on the Gazan clans who had previously stood against Hamas in the areas which had been previously seized and then abandoned by the IDF.

Peloni:  There is a reason why we never saw footage of the Nazis celebrating the end of WWII.  It was because they knew, unequivocally that they had lost the war, that their leaders at least would face some level of judgement, and that they would never live to see their beloved Third Reich rise again to revisit its practices of war crimes, conquest and tragedy upon the world.  This same reality has purposefully been kept from being visited upon the people of Gaza, despite the fact that such an outcome has been very well earned by the psychopaths tutored by the international community to exact the slaughter and mayhem which was celebrated by the Gazans on October 7.    It is a sinister, heartbreaking fact that the people of Gaza are treated with more care and consideration than were the Jews of Auchwitz and its sister death camps, despite the fact that the fate the Gazans intended for the Jews was even more malicious and evil than what took place under their spiritual allies from 1940’s Nazi Germany.  Where is the shame of the Western world as it mollycoddles the butchers and rapists of October 7?  Where is even the modicum of justice which was served at Nuremberg for these rogues of humanity?  It is nowhere, which is why the Gazans are celebrating, because they know that by evading being defeated, and while keeping Israel out of Gaza, that not only have they actually won a sizeable victory, but they are looking forward to doing it all over again in the future, hence the chant of “Khaybar, Khaybar, ya Yehud”!

New in PJ Media:

Everyone wants peace, right? And so everyone is thrilled about Trump’s Hamas/Israel peace deal. Even Barack Obama has found it in his heart to utter some encouraging words, and the likes of MSNBC and the Washington Post are pausing from their nonstop orgy of Trump hate to hail the cessation of hostilities in Gaza.

Beijing has become the central engine of Iran’s sanctions evasion strategy. For years, China has been the top buyer of Iranian oil and other sanctioned goods — purchasing approximately 90 percent of Iran’s exported oil and 25 percent of its non-oil goods — but little is known about how this illicit trade is financed. Moreover, as major Chinese banks have reduced exposure to Iran over sanctions concerns, questions about how broader Sino-Iranian commerce functions have gone largely unanswered.
