In a stunning display of masterful diplomacy and unyielding resolve, President Donald Trump has once again proven himself the unrivaled peacemaker of our era, orchestrating the release of the final 20 Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas for over two agonizing years.
Peloni: This is an important article. Without addressing the open support and advocacy of Jihad inherrant in Islamic society and religious teachings, any attempt at peace should be understood to be a practice in the art of hudna. Accepting political deception employed towards the goal of ultimate conquest is not a peaceful endeavor, it is simply a staged surrender.
The myth That Calls Itself a Peace Declaration

I stayed fairly quiet yesterday. I was told, politely, of course, to “let people celebrate” for a day. So I did. I gave it 24 hours while the headlines cheered the return of hostages and the signing of yet another “peace” agreement.
Now the day is over. And I’m back with the reality that seems to be missing from the table.

Walsh talks about Kirk’s abandonment of the pro-Israel side ‘for good reason’ and blames Jews for not winning hearts and minds. He thinks we should check ourselves and see what we’re doing wrong. If so many people are now opposed to Israel, we need to reevaluate our strategy and policies. According to Walsh, the Jews are not engaging in enough self-reflection.
There’s no recognition of antisemitism and anti-Israel propaganda and how it feeds people with falsehoods about Israel’s existential war on seven fronts as well as our history. Walsh mentions Candace Owens as if she’s a normative voice. He justifies Kirk’s continuing relationship with Carlson despite his platforming Holocaust deniers and antisemites who lie about Jews, Jewish history and Israel.
Truly sickening!

It is no secret that the Islamic Republic has long sponsored proxy groups abroad, yet far less is known about how these same networks have been used to protect the regime at home. Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraqi Shiite militias, and the Afghan Fatemiyoun Brigade have all played roles in suppressing anti-regime movements inside Iran. Recently, reports of these fighters harassing Iranian female university students have ignited a new wave of public outrage.
Between October 6 and 11, residents of Iran’s western Hamedan Province protested after reports emerged that Iraqi fighters studying at Bu-Ali Sina University had been targeting Iranian female students for so-called “temporary marriages”—a practice permitted under Shiite law and frequently exploited by entities affiliated with Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) to sexually exploit women and children.

The New York Times has just published the six-page memo written by Yahya Sinwar, setting out what Hamas operatives should do to the Israelis once they finally smash into southern Israel. It makes for instructive reading. Christine Douglass-Williams just wrote about this here, and more on the Sinwar memo can be found here: “Target civilians, record carnage: What Yahya Sinwar wrote in his 2022 October 7 memo – NYT,” Jerusalem Post, October 11, 2025:
A special army unit found a digitalized copy of former Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s six-page handwritten memo, which explicitly called for the terrorist group to target Israeli civilians ahead of the October 7 invasion, The New York Times reported on Saturday.

As a NPA Independent, who voted for President Trump twice, I can honestly say, as someone who has also done extensive doctoral studies and worked professionally as a consultant, taught, and is widely published in this and related fields of study, that Trump’s October 2025 speech before the Israeli Knesset/Parliament regarding the latest cessation of hostilities in the Hamas butcher-sired war in Gaza, was perhaps the greatest he or any other leader has ever given related to the overall Arab-Israeli conflict and that sub conflict involving Arabs, who only very recently in recorded history, renamed themselves “Palestinians,” but in reality moved into the area from surrounding countries, as well.
Here’s President Trump’s historical speech:

President Trump and Middle Eastern leaders Officially SIGN the Gaza Peace Deal
By Pamela Geller – on
Fresh from the euphoria of the hostage return in Israel, Dozens of world leaders join US President Donald Trump in a conference on Gaza hosted by Egypt in Sharm el-Sheikh.
Peloni: Terrorists incarcerated in Israel simply provide future terrorists with a goal for which to kidnap and ransom Jews for the release of terrorists. The policy first begun under the Shalit deal is a troublesome and dangerous policy which only increases the motivation towards kidnapping more Jews in the future with every terrorist caught by Israel. Yet, the solution is not to release these butchers to the world as inexplicably advocated by Lauder, but to execute them for the crimes which they have committed. Importantly, among the goals of the Jordan Option promoted by our friend Ted Belman, OBM, and Mudar Zahran, is that under Zahran’s rule, the terrorists caught in Israel would be tried in Jordan to meet Jordanian justice under an anti-Jihad Jordanian regime, thus eliminating this motivation towards kidnapping Jews in the future.

(NEW YORK) A leading pro-Israel organization has condemned the idea of the release of an arch terrorist by Israel. It has been reported that Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, recently lobbied for the release of convicted terrorist Marwan Barghouti (Source: https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-jewish-community-leader-lobbied-for-prominent-palestinian-prisoner-barghoutis-release/). On May 20, 2004, Barghouti was convicted of the murders of five innocent people.
Peloni: It is very disappointing to see Pres. Trump alongside so many enemies of Israel while Israel alone was prohibited from joining this conference due the objections of Turkey and its anti-Israel acolytes.

Hamas has also taken control of Gaza’s Interior Ministry, fully restoring its rule over the Strip. And their first order of business is to slaughter those with whom they disagree.
Peloni: Khaled provides some important reflections on today’s chaotic announcements and reversals. Most importantly, however, is the fact that Hamas is back in power in Gaza, for now at least, and is being reinvigorated with the return of UN assisted aid deliveries, as it has recently taken to slaughtering and publicly executing those who it claims were allied with Israel, of which only some were actually cooperating with Israel before her required withdrawal.

A day of freedom, unprecedented chaos, and contested futures
In my lifetime, I have never seen or experienced a day of such dramatic diplomatic whiplash. While the world witnessed the profound relief of hostages returning home, the backstage politics were a masterclass in chaos and last-minute reversals.

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:

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.

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.
