The emirate’s role as a back channel between the U.S. and Iran has metastasized into something far more dangerous

BY Lee Smith, TABLET FEBRUARY 06, 2024

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was recently caught on a recording wondering why the Biden White House wasn’t putting more pressure on Qatar to squeeze Hamas and free more than a hundred Israeli, American, and other hostages still left in Gaza. Netanyahu told hostage families that Qatar “is no different in essence than the United Nations … and the Red Cross.” The controversial petro-emirate, he clarified, “is even more problematic.”

Ayelet Shaked: We must have a perimeter, which will be like a safe zone that no one can enter and our villages will not be a few meters from Hamas troops.

Trying to Rearrange the Deck Chairs on the Titanic

The Biden administration wants the Ukraine war to continue at least until after US Presidential elections next November.  But there is a lurking danger that won’t be possible, especially if Russia mounts a really big offensive.  For that reason there is a new plan that has been emerging.  It is not in writing but it is in politics.

In response to an inquiry Israel Hayom, the Prime Minister’s Office stated: “The meeting will take place as usual, as part of the meeting with the prime minister.” No response was received from the State Department.

The US has made an unusual request ahead of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Israel this week.

According to information obtained exclusively by Israel Hayom, the request was that the US top diplomat receive a separate briefing with IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi without Israeli cabinet ministers present. However, Israel Hayom has learned that the Prime Minister’s office rebuffed that idea and Blinken will receive the security briefing would remain the same as previous visits, presumably as part of a larger meeting with the War Cabinet.

The “cockpit in the tower of Babel.”

by Bruce Thornton, FPM  

No one should be shocked or surprised by the news that some United Nations Relief Works Agency staff directly participated in the heinous savagery of Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7.

According to Israeli intelligence, AJC reports, “six UNRWA workers were part of the wave of terrorists who breached the Gaza-Israel border and massacred civilians inside of Israel. Additionally, two helped to kidnap Israelis, two others were tracked to sites where hundreds of Israeli civilians were shot and killed. Others coordinated logistics for the assault, including procuring weapons.” Seven were identified as primary school teachers, and one is a Hamas commander.

TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS

The majority of Americans now know that the Deep State stole the 2020 election for the Obama-Biden regime. The evidence is widespread, determinative and overwhelming. But, the million dollar question everybody has is, how can we stop it from happening again in 2024?

I believe that the ONLY way we can actually stop it before it happens next time is through something called quantum “fractal analysis” – which uses an advanced database technology to find identity fraud, duplicates, and outdated records in data files used for credit cards, voter registration, Medicaid, WIC, etc. used by Governments, insurance companies, airlines, retailers and more.

360 degrees of hostility: The Biden administration and Israel

Why is the United States continuing to hamper the ability of the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza?

CAROLINE B. GLICK  

(February 5, 2024 / JNS) The Mothers of IDF Soldiers group led a demonstration last week of army mothers, reservists in the Israel Defense Forces, bereaved families and other concerned citizens outside the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. They demanded that President Joe Biden stop leveraging power to force Israel to resupply Hamas.

The following day, hundreds of Israelis, including parents of soldiers, families of hostages and terror victims gathered outside Ashdod Port. For hours, they blocked trucks laden with supplies for Gaza from exiting the port. Activists have been blocking trucks from entering Gaza via the Kerem Shalom and Nitzana border crossings for more than two weeks.

This is Team Obama-Biden’s plan in Lebanon, that it’s trying to ram down Israel’s throat. The Hezbollah sock puppet Lebanese “foreign minister” explains three key points:

1- “We reject pulling Hezbollah back behind the Litani River. That would lead to war.”

2- “We will not accept anything less than a comprehensive resolution to all border issues with Israel.”

3- “The LAF does not have the capacity (men and materiel) to deploy on the southern border. Lebanon asks concerned countries to help recruit 7,000 additional soldiers, and we expect France to call for an international meeting to support the LAF, like the donor meeting held in Italy in 2007.”

Amos Hochstein meets with Gallant in Tel Aviv amid shuttle diplomacy efforts to deliver agreement, defuse roiling tensions on Israel’s northern border.

>By TOI STAFF and EMANUEL FABIAN   5 February 2024, 6:29 am

Peloni: Making the unpopular topics of aid to Ukraine and a permanently open US border as conditions of any aid destined to Israel defies credulity, while it also completely disrespects the position to which Israel rightly deserves as a faithful, (too faithful some might say) ally to the US.  It should comes as little surprise that the Neocons will use any excuse to fund their proxy war against Russia while ignoring their own border, but these matters are completely unrelated to the attack which took place on October 7 against America’s only certain ally in the Middle East.  Sink or swim, each of these issues must be addressed in turn, weighed for their merits and voted up or down based upon those merits.  Let the Congress show the public how each of their members votes on each of these issues and China Joe too.  Then the public will see which of their elected officials are acting as good stewards of the public purse.

Biden has vowed to veto the House’s standalone bill, which may not have the votes to pass, while Senate Republicans will likely block a procedural vote on the Senate package this week

Prospects appeared increasingly uncertain for both the House and Senate’s Israel aid bills on Monday, as President Joe Biden vowed to veto the House’s standalone Israel bill while Senate Republicans signaled their intent to block a procedural vote this week on the Senate’s multi-part package, demanding further changes to long-negotiated immigration policy provisions.

Peloni: Carlson is quite correct to have pursued this interview, and it is quite regrettable that he was blocked from doing so three years ago.  This will be an important chance for people to actually hear Putin’s responses to real questions, questions to which they have never heard the answers because the sycophantic Western media have been co-opted to buttress the control of Western leadership over the public, instead of providing the much needed role of public oversight, the proper purview of journalists.

Why I am interviewing Putin.

Argentine President Javier Milei arrived in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Tuesday afternoon (local time) as part of a three-day visit to the country.

By Christian K. Caruzo, BREITBART                               6 February 2024

The trip marks Milei’s first official state visit as Argentina’s head of state following his inauguration in December and following his trip to Davos, Switzerland, in January, in which he did not engage in any official events with Swiss leaders.

Milei’s travel to Israel also marks the first time in 40 years that an Argentine president visits a country in a state of war. Following his visit to Israel, Milei will continue his three-country tour with stops in Italy and the Vatican.

The Cardinal’s invitation was scrawled on the crumbling paper of a 1634 edition of La Gazette de France, so I knew at once that it was genuine: “Midnight on the 31^st of January, below the Pont d’Alma” – the Bridge of Souls, above the entrance to the sewers of Paris, where I first held séance with Richelieu’s Ghost more than a decade ago.
