AFSI issues statement on Ronald Lauder support for terrorist, Marwan Barghouti  

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/).

What on Earth is Happening?  

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.

Khaled Hassan | The Grand Strategy | Oct 13, 2025

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.

By | Oct 13, 2025

Screengrab via Youtube

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:

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

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.

Israel must ensure its freedom of action in Gaza will be preserved  

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.

I have read the Confidential Summary of the proposed Gaza Transitional Authority (GITA) Institutional Structure.
This is the body to be led by Tony Blair and is a gift to a Palestinian leadership that has proven its Ramallah-based authoritarian corrupt violent anti-Israel record since 2007, unless, of coure, Hamas does a Hezbollah by gradually exerting its administrative power in Gaza.
