From Israel: A Moral Imperative!!  

Peloni:  It is hard to hear the reports coming out of Iran, and indeed the videos which are emerging raise recollections of the scenes of animalistic butchery which took place on October 7.  Like Arlene, I am still convinced that the promised support for the Iranians is coming.  To think anything else honestly strikes me as being unthinkable.  When it does come, whatever form it takes, Trump’s response must be robust, and encompassing.  The butcher’s bill paid by the many thousands and tens of thousands of Iranian victims who answered Trump’s call to protest deserves nothing less.

Before I address the imperative that is at the heart of this posting, I want to back up and provide a bit of the analysis I had been promising while I focused on Gaza.

Oh Boy…The REAL Reason They Want To Re-Build Gaza Is NOT what it seems!  

Peloni:  Israel alone has any true interest in the establishing peace in Gaza, yet Israel has seemingly no role in what is coming, as the Trump 20 Point Plan is morphing into another Two State Solution while ignoring every benchmark required in Trump’s Plan.  As if the only thing that mattered was that something, no matter how removed from the original deal, flawed as it was, might be said to have been put into practice.  Israel needs to retake Gaza and Gaza needs to establish free emigration for its inhabitants elsewhere, preferably to Jordan and Egypt.

Trump Says China Will ‘Eat Canada up Within a Year’  

Peloni:  See below video for Trump’s most recent Truth Social Posts on Canada moving to secure trade deal with China.  Carney has always been the plaything of the Chinese, meaning that he was always going to support them against Trump.  What a pity that Trump did not put his full support behind Poilievre in the last Canadian election rather than emphasizing his desire to annex Canada as the 51st state…  Curiously, the question arises as to whether this is where we are heading once again now that Trump has secured his needs in Greenland… Was his describing Carney as Gov. Carney more than a slipup in the tweet at the bottom?

Media Host STUNNED When Iranian WHISTLEBLOWER Says This on Live TV!  

Peloni:  The courage which brought this young woman and others to streets, to face down threats of beating, torture rape and murder, continues to be ignored by the Western press.  This, unlike the Astroturf pro Hamas protests, deserves to be publicized, shared widely, and supported by all means possible from abroad.  The victory of the Iranian people will be the victory of the West and the world, and their abandonment will only secure a tragedy for them and the continuation of an assault upon the West by the rogue terror regime in Tehran.  I hope Trump acts, and soon.

On The Way To An ‘Islamic NATO’? Turkey Advances Towards Membership In Saudi-Pakistan Defense Pact  

Peloni:  Was the US extension of blanket protections to Qatar and Saudi Arabia an attempt to offset their forming these type of alliances…

N. Mozes | MEMRI | Jan 21, 2025

In January 2026, there were multiple reports in international and regional media about advanced contacts in the matter of Turkey joining the Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement (SMDA) between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Similar to the NATO Treaty, the SMDA, signed September 17, 2025, includes an article stating that any attack on one of the parties is to be considered an attack on the other. This includes Pakistan’s provision of a nuclear umbrella for Saudi Arabia.[1]

My interview with Tamar Yonah
* This year is a year of atonement. Atonement for the evil doers, the Palestinian Authority, Jordan’s king, and whoever is left standing around them. Nobody gets spared. Mark my words.
* Do not trust the so-called experts on international television. They are missing what is actually happening on the ground, especially with Jordan’s king.

This Is How the Deal Lets Hamas Keep Its Weapons and Stay in Power  

Peloni:  The shell game of integrating terrorist institutions into structures which are intended to bring peace is the Old Concepzia.  How many times will this same song and dance be rigged against Israel.  Indeed how many times will Israel accept its role as a pawn in its own destruction.  We no longer live in a world convinced that failed policies of October 6 were ever possibly real.  There are no partners in peace.  Not in the American terrorist equity of the PA and not in the Turkish and Qatari terrorist equity of Hamas.  It is an act of the greatest betrayal that anyone would promote such a parallel fantasy which brought about October 7, but that is what is being described by the utterly delusional and compromised ‘peace’ envoys who feel that their lack of independence with Qatar provides them greater clarity.

Why President Trump insists on Turkey’s involvement in Gaza: Paybacks … and oil  

Peloni:  Turkey and Qatar are stakeholders in terror who Trump has honored to become policy designers for the peace which follows the war which the Turkish/Qatari terrorist proxy Hamas began.  They are reaping the fruits of victory which should be denied to these masterminds of terror.  Instead, the influence of these Jihadist aligned regional baddies is being strengthened, very much to the detriment of Israel and any true interest in advancing peaceful cooperation between Israel and her neighbors.

As the formation of the Gaza Board of Peace (BoP) steams ahead with invitations to a diverse collection of individuals and politicians from around the world, Israel is laser-focused on two specific recipients: Turkey and Qatar.

Trump envoy presents Gaza reconstruction ‘master plan’ at Davos inauguration of US-led ‘Board of Peace’  

Peloni:  Such delusional, nonsesnical rhetoric is what has kept the conflict in Middle East increasingly growing since well before the US decided to take advantage of the conflict beginning back more than 5 decades ago.  The same Peace size peg being screwed into the same terror-laden sized hole.  The outcome will not be peace but war, even as the short term profits flow freely amid the punch drunk naivete which seems all too naive to be sincere.

New Gaza chief announces Rafah crossing will open next week, Israel doesn’t confirm

The United States presented new plans for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip on Thursday, as President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace (BoP) was inaugurated with a signing ceremony by representatives of most of its founding nations at the sidelines of the Davos World Economic Forum.

The “master plan” for a new Gaza was presented by White House advisor and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who noted, “If Hamas does not demilitarize, that will be what holds back Gaza and the people of Gaza from achieving their aspiration.”

Jews around the world were shocked by the October 7, 2023 sneak attack on Israel by Hamas, the treacherous Gazan terrorists who rule Gaza. Their goal was to wipe out the Jews residing in the communities adjacent to and nearby the border. Hamas hoped to invade further north into Israel well beyond the border area, but couldn’t. [Hamas attacked prematurely, spoiling the plan for a combined Arab onslaught on Israel which might have succeeded.]

Islamized Texas: Austin’s Far-Left City Council Installs ‘Muslim Heritage Month’ & Honors CAIR—Defying Abbott’s Terror Designation (Video)  

Janet Levy: The Austin City Council unanimously approved a formal resolution designating January as Muslim Heritage Month.  The council also elevated CAIR by proclaiming “CAIR-Austin Day,” flouting the Muslim Brotherhood group’s recent designation by Governor Abbott as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).

It’s clear that CAIR has greatly expanded its leverage in Austin and continues building its power using false charges of “Islamophobia.”

NOTE:  CAIR was exposed as Hamas doing business in the U.S. in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terrorist funding trial in American history.  Hamas is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.

In a brazen act of defiance against Governor Greg Abbott’s designation of CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization, Austin’s far-left City Council proclaimed ‘CAIR-Austin Day’ on January 22, 2026, while building on the city’s new permanent Muslim Heritage Month resolution to institutionalize Islamic influence, launder grievance narratives, and prioritize ideological activism over Texas public safety—all while conservatives leaders remain silent.

IMEC’s Future Is Once Again In Doubt  

Peloni: With the recent moves by Saudi Arabia to adopt a hard line stance not seen in Riyadh in a very long time, doubts are rising in regards to the long term twin projects of both peace and newly established supply chains.

Notably October 7 changed everything but rather than seeing the world come together to reaffirm the rejection of Jew Hatred and erase the Muslim Brotherhood ideology which promoted that slaughter, the world came to normalize Jew Hatred while too often condemning the victims of October 7 and championing the ideology which inspired it.  With this in mind, is it any wonder that MBS has reacted in a similar way that Egypt and Turkey have done, ie moving further from Israel rather than closer?  The consequences of this are undermining the very strong moves which MBS took in previous years, moves which could place him on the wrong side of the Arab street which has also been paying attention to the facts which have taken place, not just during the last two years of war, but also during the last four months of so-called peace negotiations.  Terror is being rewarded, rogue states are granted historic Western protections, and colonizing Ankara is being strengthened in every way imagined by the Trump administration.  Is there any wonder to what Riyadh might be reacting as it retrogrades both its language and its recent actions in the region.

The end of IMEC might result in an Emirati-Indian-Israeli bloc formed in opposition to the emerging Saudi-Pakistani-Turkish one.

Andrew Korybko | Jan 21, 2026

Screengrab via Youtube [Edited for geographic correction]

The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), which was envisaged as a game-changing geo-economic megaproject when it was announced in September 2023 at the G20 Summit in Delhi, was abruptly frozen by the Gaza War that broke out a month later and the West Asian War that followed. The end of those conflicts then gave rise to optimism that Saudi Arabia would normalize ties with Israel like it reportedly planned to do prior to their outbreak as the political prerequisite for building IMEC.

Post-war, who governs Gaza matters more than who talks peace  

Order requires the defeat not only of an armed force, but of the ideology and power structures that sustained it.

The opening of Phase 2 of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan is being described as a case of realism. It risks reviving a dangerous illusion: that Hamas can be reasoned into relinquishing power if offered reconstruction, recognition or the promise of a “better life.”
