Most Jordanians and Palestinians secretly support President Trump’s decision to settle the people of Gaza in Jordan…
If the crossings are opened, not a single Gazan will remain in the hell left by the war…
Trump is right to reject the two state delusion and his proposal to relocate Gaza's population cuts through decades of long-entrenched, failed orthodoxies. pic.twitter.com/RVnE4oqzua

Peloni: I think that Trump’s decision to move into the Middle East quandary is just part of his continued move against China. In fact, his bold proposal has significant implications for the fickled nature of US allies in the Middle East, whose moves toward China in recent years is simultaneously harmful to the US and emboldening of China. With a base of operations in Gaza, it places the US in a position of independent power projection, the likes it has never had in the Middle East, with which to influence its allies into accepting that American military dominance in the region is far more relevant than Chinese economic incursions into the region. The consequence of this is that Saudi Arabia and Egypt will be under significant pressure to return to their previous positions of being stronger and more reliable allies than they have become due to US waffling in the region. This will also allow the US the means by which to stabilize the region and maintain peaceful support for the development of the launching the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, all while turning Gaza into an enterprise which enterprise which compensates the US presence in the region. Notably, this was among the first initiatives undertaken by Trump, even as more specific elements of his foreign policy are yet to be developed or stated. For all of these reasons, and others, I believe that Trump’s Gaza proposal is very important to his second term, and likely one which he will not easily abandon.
Trump offers a way out of this cycle of bloodshed. He proposes evacuating the civilian population from Gaza, even if temporarily, allowing the process of rehabilitation and rebuilding to begin in a Gaza empty of both residents and Hamas. Yet everyone rushes to refuse the proposal.
Peloni: Highly recommended article.

Peloni: Sherman provides an important insight into the almost universally ignored reality of the very segmented aspects of the Israeli body politic which are routinely lumped into the Left vs Right in Israeli political discord when the reality is that a better lens of Doves vs Hawks should be preferred.
Re-defining the political divide in Israel as “Doves vs Hawks” rather than “Left vs Right” is a matter of far-reaching substantive significance, well beyond mere semantics.
“…[dissenting] intellectuals tend to be scorned and abused and vilified as “the Right”; Right-wing”—that all-purpose, nonsensical, infantile insult which is designed to shut down argument. There is nothing remotely right-wing about standing up for truth against lies, justice against injustice, freedom against those who would snuff out freedom
– Melanie Phillips Israeli TV (8th January 2011)
This insightful remark by the ever-incisive British-Israeli political pundit encapsulates much of the deep malaise that has, to a large degree, afflicted both the Israeli political system and civil society institutions with which it interacts—such as Israel legal system, the academe, and mainstream media.
Peloni: The Gazans have been specifically weaponized to kill Jews. Indeed, their entire lives and their entire culture have had but a single focus of killing Jews. So while I appreciate Katz’ desire to showcase the hypocrisy in localities around the Western World who will refuse to accept these barbarians whose psychopathic training was funded by these same nations, it would be quite ill advised to place these promulgators of Jew Hatred and Violence in any locality which still harbors Jews. Send them to Egypt, and Jordan. The former has a historical tie to the Gazans, and the latter has a legal tie to them, from before the Pals were stripped of their Jordanian citizenship, but don’t send them to Europe and North America where they will too easily find a Jewish target upon which to wet their Jewish blood-lust.
Defense Minister Katz supports international relocation options for those wishing to leave.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has instructed the Israel Defense Forces to draft a plan enabling Palestinians in Gaza to voluntarily leave the territory. The plan, he stated, will include exit options via land crossings as well as special arrangements for departures by sea and air.
Peloni: If Israel is going to conquer Gaza, they should keep it, settle it, develop it, and secure it.
Peloni: Erin Molan is priceless, as she once again provides moral clarity in a world which honors and protects the butchers of Hamas in the name of civilization.
Carlson’s campaign on behalf of Barbarian Hamas while manipulating the basis on which Israel’s wars are fought. Indeed, while Hamas’ targets are the entire population of Israel, Israel’s target remains the power structure and elements of Hamas itself, even as untold thousands of Gazan not so innocent people participated in the slaughter of October 7.

U.S. President Donald Trump shocked the world with his suggestion that the United States take over not just the rebuilding of Gaza, but its administration.
“I don’t want to be cute. I don’t want to be a wise guy, but – the Riviera of the Middle East. This could be so magnificent,” Trump said during a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following their meeting.

Peloni: We are way past the time for negotiations or deals. The Mullahs must be toppled, and their nuclear program must be ended.

Two conflicting reports on Iran’s nuclear weapons program were disclosed this week. Both reports offer important insight in just how Tehran is speeding up work on nuclear weapons.

The mind boggles when we consider the proposals being advanced by President Trump in his meetings with Prime Minister Netanyahu and announced at a subsequent press conference late Tuesday.
Trump thinks BIG and out of the box.
Peloni: Very interesting update with Prof. Zisser.
Did ya miss me? On today’s @FDD Morning Brief, I’m speaking w/ Prof. Eyal Zisser of @TelAvivUni, who’s mastered the ins & outs of the #MidEast. Looking forward to chatting about #Israel-Hamas ceasefire, potential peace between Israel & Saudi Arabia & more. https://t.co/4q32TT16bH

‘An army of galloping horses’: Eyal Zamir, who will succeed Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, will be required not only to strive for decisive victory on all fronts but also to put the IDF back on its proper footing and enable it to be a determined and victorious army, something it knows how to be | Commentary
Brigadier General (res.) Amir Avivi |
Incoming IDF Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir (Photo: Spokesperson and Public Relations Division at the Ministry of Defense)
The incoming IDF Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, is an experienced and respected officer who grew up on the battlefield and advanced to key positions. He is known for his strategic thinking, determination and professionalism. The timing of Zamir’s entry into office in the midst of a military campaign and after the resignation of his predecessor places him as someone who bears a heavier responsibility than those who came before him in office.
