T.Belman. The Jordan Option provides that Israel will be the sovereign from the river to the sea. In adition, It is also a two state solution. Jordan will be renamed Palestine and the Jordan River will be the border between the two states as it is now.
Netanyahu agrees with this when he says Israel ‘s military will remain in control. That makes us the sovereign.
Annexation of both Gaza and the Territories will provide us with a secure homeland from the river to the sea; the sooner we embrace this concept, the sooner our future, with G-D’s help, will be assured. Op-ed.

After Biden came home from his Caribbean vacation, the Deputy Defense Secretary came back from hers and the Secretary of Defense was on the verge of being released from the hospital, airstrikes were finally authorized against the Houthi Jihadis attacking ships in the Red Sea.
Biden said that the air strikes sent “a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or allow hostile actors to imperil freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most critical commercial routes.”
T. Belman. Coming from Gantz, the messge was all the more important than if it came from Bibi. According to most surveys, Gantz is expected togarner more seats than Likud. His message shows how united Israel is.
‘Ending the war without clearing out Rafah is like sending a firefighter to extinguish 80% of the fire,’ Minister Benny Gantz tells National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.

Among other things, Gantz told National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan that “ending the war without clearing out Rafah is like sending a firefighter to extinguish 80% of the fire,” Israel Hayom reported.
Peloni: The result of the leaked proposal will be nothing more than a more egregious replay of the failed Gas Deal which the US forced Israel to accept to no benefit under the lame duck premiership of Lapid. The need to not repeat such a pursuit of failure is made even greater in wake of the Simchat Torah Massacre. The only settlement possible must result in Hezbollah complying with UNSC Res. 1701 and 1559. The Chamberlain-esque efforts to advance the interests of Hezbollah over Israel must be utterly rejected.
A ceasefire should not become an end in itself. The goal needs to be the security of civilians on both sides of the border. That is not what the leaked proposed agreement provides.

According to a report broadcast several days ago on Israel’s Channel 11, various Lebanese media reports carried new details of the plan being promoted by US envoy Amos Hochstein. The plan contains a ceasefire framework for Israel and Lebanon.
Hochstein is the US Special Presidential Coordinator for Global Infrastructure and Energy Security, and he has been conducting shuttle diplomacy between Israel and Lebanon in an effort to broker a ceasefire.

Hamas terrorists. As Israel prepares to enter Hamas’s final stronghold, Rafah, the United States should ensure Israel has as much time as it needs to fully defeat Hamas.
Fighting terrorists who wear no uniform in urban terrain is complicated—as one of us learned during deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, battlefields that, however terrible, were simpler than Gaza. Operating in such a complex environment takes time, particularly for a military as dedicated to protecting civilians as the IDF.

Is this how you end a war?
On Saturday, The Times of Israel reported U.S. forces made the first airdrop of supplies over the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip — roughly 38,000 meals for the people in the place that elected the terrorist organization that launched the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks.
U.S. Central Command said it and the Jordanian Air Force “conducted a combined humanitarian assistance airdrop into Gaza … to provide essential relief to civilians affected by the ongoing conflict.”

America isn’t free and elections can’t be fair if a former president can be the subject of a shakedown by his political opposition.
Voters in a few months are supposed to cast a ballot for their preferred presidential candidate. Meanwhile, we just watched one of our major political parties attempt to literally bankrupt the likely nominee of the other, and seize his property.
Whatever you want to say of America anymore, it can’t possibly be called free and our elections aren’t anything close to fair.
Opinion: Proposing a cease-fire with Germany without the complete surrender of the Nazis would’ve been considered insane; same goes for the axis of evil which has already announced that as soon as Israel holds her fire, it will renew its effort to destroy the Jewish state.

When the Luftwaffe carried out the blitz on London, it was a war crime. When the Americans and British bombed Tokyo, Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, hundreds of thousands of innocent people were killed. But it was not a crime. This was a necessity in order to defeat the Nazi axis of evil.
When the U.S. launched the war on terror, bombing Fallujah, Mosul and Raqqa among others to defeat al Qaeda or ISIS, hundreds of thousands were killed. This was not a war crime. It was a necessity, even though there was no existential threat to the West.
The world is pressuring Israel about the crisis in Gaza, while ignoring the men, women and children who are being abused and starved in Hamas captivity.

The day after President Joe Biden announced that the United States would begin airdrops of humanitarian aid to Gaza, U.S. military planes parachuted pallets of food and water over the beach in the southwest of the Strip.
Biden made this declaration during a joint press briefing on Friday with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who claimed that the “humanitarian crisis [in Gaza] is our No. 1 priority.”
Pressure on Israel to agree to pay an exorbitant ransom for the hostages that will grant victory to Hamas isn’t just politically motivated. It’s a betrayal of American interests.

A late-night comedy show isn’t the place you generally go for insights on the prospects for stability in the Middle East. But the appearance this week of President Joe Biden on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” gave us more than just another example of the broadcast network’s daily in-kind contributions to the Democrats and Biden’s re-election campaign.
The fawning interview served up softballs to the 81-year-old president, intending to undermine concerns about his age and declining abilities. It also served as an opportunity for him to tell us just what the United States stands for in international affairs. The fuzzy rhetoric of the president about being a “Zionist” notwithstanding, his statements about what he wants to happen in the Middle East showed that he was primarily interested in currying favor with his party’s intersectional left wing that despises Zionism and that is well-represented in Hollywood. Working to ensure that Islamist terrorists no longer pose a threat to Israelis or Americans wasn’t high on his “To Do” list.
Despite the spittle-flecked protesters on college campuses chanting in fascistic unison that “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” which means, if properly understood, that the tiny Jewish state should disappear in order that it might be replaced by a twenty-third Arab one, despite the anti-Israel animus displayed on the nightly news and in the major newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, despite the Bidenites’ distancing themselves from Israel as it fights its fourth war for survival — the previous three being those of 1948, 1967, and 1973 — and so much attention is given to the civilian casualties in Gaza by those who fail to understand that Israel has a lower civilian-to-combatant ratio of deaths in the current war (4:3) than has been attained by any other army in the world, it turns out that the Americans, or more than four-fifths of them, support the plucky little state whose existence has never been a given.

During his weekly interview with Radio Kossuth in Budapest, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called out leftist forces in Brussels who are frantically trying to implement their left-wing globalist agenda ahead of this summer’s European parliamentary elections.
“There’s a phrase in the Hungarian language that accurately describes the situation in Brussels. It’s what Hungarians call ‘panic before the gates close.’ So their song is over, their mandate has expired – or at least it will expire in June – and the fine burghers of Brussels will be making one last dash, thinking that they can now complete what they failed to do when they were younger,” Orbán explained.

It’s out there in the open for all to see. Americans are overwhelmingly pro-Israel but their leadership is now aligned with the terrorists in Gaza. Op-ed.
It’s par for the course to see Progressive American Jews close their eyes and minds to reality as they continue to follow the Democrat breadcrumb trail that leads to the suicidal Masada-like cliff from which they’ll willingly jump. Nothing helps in the effort to un-hypnotize them from the lies they ingest reading the NYT and watching MSNBC, even the blocking of Times Square by pro-Hamas protestors when a grenade was found by a cab driver.
A Freedom Center report exposes the threat and shows how we can fight back.

The response in state legislatures to the Hamas Islamic terror attacks of Oct 7 showed how thoroughly Islamists have infiltrated our political system and the threat that they pose.
In Delaware, Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton, the first Muslim elected in Delaware, heckled Vice President Kamala Harris at a Christmas party, demanding that Israel stop attacking Hamas.

Not even a war can stop Israel building on its 75-years of success in rebuilding a Jewish State.
Israel continues to build up its basket of subsidized medical treatments, create new remedies for global diseases, discover the secret for building bigger families, and construct medical centers for rehabilitating the injured.
