IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir visits the Israeli border with Syria on March 9. (IDF)
The new chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, visited northern Israel on March 9 and met with IDF commanders along the border with Syria. According to the IDF, Zamir visited the “area of separation” in Syria, which is along the buffer zone Israeli forces took over after December 8, 2024, when the Bashar al Assad regime fell from power.
Peloni: Syria is a failed state, and it has been for over a decade. The Turkish aligned Sunni radical axis recently replaced the Iranian aligned Shia axis in Syria. Both regimes weaponized their jihadi mentality against the Christian and minority populations, and they both should be kept at arms length without Western support. Jihad knows no tolerance for the infidels, and as such, they should be shown no comfort or support from the West. Europe should be paying close attention to this fact.

When Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, was thrown from power last December and fled to Russia, Europe’s elites, and its Washington swamp allies, rejoiced.
Sure, the new guys in charge, an armed rebel group called HTS, had been members of al-Qaida in Iraq. But Assad was the bad guy — evil, wicked, worst person in the world.

Peloni: This is a very important article detailing the various resettlement initiatives which have been developed and considered over the years, including Mudar Zahran’s Jordan Option initiative which is still ongoing. It also provides a compelling explanation for why this maintained tragedy could and should finally be resolved.

President Donald Trump has overturned the Middle East chessboard by proposing that the population of Gaza be resettled elsewhere to allow for the total razing and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the full eradication of its terrorist infrastructure.
Peloni: In respective conversations with Sen. Ted Cruz (14min mark) and Israeli historian and commentator Gadi Taub (26min mark), Mark Levin examines the actions of two parallel wayward activist Leftist judiciaries which are acting with impunity as they obstruct the two respective govts of the US and Israel, both of which were elected with overwhelming public support. The parallels drawn between the reckless actions of these two court systems betraying the national interests of these two democracies is truly remarkable. While the situation in Israel is far more severe, its success at blocking the will of the people in preference of the will of an unelected, and unelectable, minority, has clearly had the effect of guiding a similarly unelected and unelectable minority in the US towards the same outcome. The precedent set in Israel has been greatly damaging to the nation over the years, and yet has not deterred the parallel efforts to do the same in the US.

First, congratulations. My main “complaint” against you is that this race kept me up for most of the night, gritting my teeth and rooting for you (and also for a Republican House and Senate).
I have the audacity to offer you my advice as to how you should conduct your second administration. Hey, everyone else is doing so, why not me? I write as a libertarian economist, so my suggestions will reflect that vantage point, (In several of my recent publications urged my fellow freedom fighters to vote the LP ticket everywhere else apart from the swing states, where you might well have needed them. I’m glad you didn’t). Magnificent work on your part not only in the Electoral College but also in the popular vote. I come from Brooklyn, you from neighboring Queens; we are lantzsmen.
My recommendations to you are placed under four headings: law, foreign policy, personal liberties and last but not least, economics.
Peloni: Victory was always achievable, but the positioning of the Biden administration in tight coordination with its allies among the IDF and Israeli political spectrum made this potential quite impossible. It is time for Israel to revisit this conflict, and demonstrate in quick order its ability to eliminate Hamas’ control over Gaza, and then advance the Trump proposal of letting the Gazans seek their futures in Egypt and Jordan. But as Trump recently noted, “somebody’s going to have to get a lot rougher than they’re getting.” The time to do so is now.

Recent events have reignited the debate over whether Hamas can be defeated militarily. Following President Donald Trump‘s meeting with freed Israeli hostages in the Oval Office, he warned Hamas to release all captives or face severe consequences.
He also promised to send Israel “everything it needs to finish the job.” This pledge likely includes military supplies that were previously withheld under the Biden administration—such as large-diameter bombs and bulldozer parts—items Trump promptly released after the elections. The implicit message is clear: renewed military operations aimed at dismantling Hamas are on the table.

In the 9th Mar 25 edition of Israel’s good news, the highlights include:
Peloni: How ironic is it that an Arab statesman dismisses emigration as a ‘Red Line’ given that the Arab world began to force the expulsion of their Jews, even as the ink on the slogan ‘Never Again’ at Nuremberg was still wet. Notably, the post WWII pogroms of Poland and other European nations aligned with the interests of the Arabs in this undertaking as well, even as there was a din of silence rather than any international uproar over the actions taking place in Europe or across Arabia. Emigration is not only a legitimate solution to the conflict emanating from the Pal Cleft in Israel, it is and always was the only solution to the conflict, and it is this very fact which might explain why the Sunni Arabs still resist the Pals being allowed to relocate anywhere, under any provision, even if it is supported by the Pals themselves. It is time to ignore these faux displays of concern for the Gazans, and move the Gazans to Jordan and Egypt as recently proposed by Trump and then to pursue a similar undertaking in Judea & Samaria.

The Iranian regime has rejected the Arab world’s Gaza reconstruction plan that was presented last week at a summit in Cairo. Addressing the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Friday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi articulated Tehran’s opposition to the internationally favored two-state solution.
Peloni: Completing the agenda of ending the madness of the Ukraine war is essential for Trump’s China policy to go forward, and it will have many reverberating aspects, not the least of which might be felt in the Middle East. Indeed, there are many potential windfalls for Israel should Trump be successful in effecting the divorce between Russia and its partnership with China & Iran. The greatest obstacle challenging Trump’s success in Europe, however, emanates from China’s own great influence which is still wielded with significant effect from within the Western halls of power. As US allies continue to advocate for the position of keeping the war in Ukraine going, it is straining their relationship with the US, to their own detriment. This, however, is not a condition from which Israel is suffering.
Analysis: Trump believes that Russia is an asset at the global level whereas Ukraine is now a liability, and Russia wants to dissolve old alliances in favor of a new world order with a clearly defined sphere of influence for each superpower; Israel can renew cooperation with Moscow along with entry into almost harmonious relations with the new US administration

The whupping that Zelensky received at the White House was no surprise to those observing Trump’s plain intention of prioritizing “profit-yielding assets” over bad debts. Under the Biden administration, the U.S. had supported Ukraine massively, but with the switchover at the White House the approach to the war changed completely.
Peloni: Mark Levin provides a very important monologue with an extensive analysis of Qatar’s influence peddling in both US halls of power and institutions. He calls for a “Full List” to be compiled of those American politicians, lobbyists and beurocrats under Qatar’s influence.
At about 30 min, Levin speaks with Leo Terrell who is heading the Justice Department Task Force to Combat Antisemitism about the plans for the Trump Administration in countering the rise of antisemitism in the US.

Demographic reality contradicts conventional wisdom
*The number of annual Jewish births in Israel surged by 73% from 1995 (80,400) to 2024 (138,698), compared to a 18% increase of annual Arab births in Israel during the same period (from 36,500 to 42,911), as reported by the February 2025 Monthly Bulletin of Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (ICBS).
Peloni: The consequences for this move to counter US policy will define the US-European relationship going forward.

Consider this an escalation once President Trump is briefed. Overnight, someone, claimed by media to be Ukraine, launched a targeted series of drone attacks against the KINEF oil refinery in the Leningrad region of Russia.

Peloni: It is said that insanity is the task of doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different outcome, something which might be raised with regards to the American decision to try to negotiate Iran into abandoning their nearly achieved nuclear ambitions a second time around. While this might be a fair description of insanity, I think that a greater example of insanity is to grasp that an existential nuclear threat is being raised against America and the West, while they choose to negotiate rather than to act to prevent such a cataclysm as a nuclear Iran from materializing, even as the window of opportunity to prevent such a calamity is imminently closing.
