Peloni: The malicious attempt to place the well demonstrated antisemitic UN as the governing instrument which will monitor and oversee the implementation of the final agreed upon resolution is all that we need to know. The lack of appropriateness of this fact could hardly be lost on anyone.

Trump and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt in October.
UN Ambassador Mike Waltz met Tuesday with Palestinian diplomats in New York to discuss the draft Security Council resolution put forth by the U.S. to authorize an international security force in Gaza, three sources with knowledge of the meeting tell Axios.
Why it matters: The meeting was a rare engagement between the U.S. and the Palestinian Authority on plans for post-war Gaza.
- Israel opposes any involvement by the Palestinian Authority in governance and security in Gaza. The U.S. plan calls for PA involvement only after it conducts significant reforms.
- But for many Arab and European countries, the involvement of the PA is key to securing their support for the U.S. plan.
Driving the news: Earlier this week, the U.S. sent several UN Security Council members a draft resolution for the establishment of an international stabilization force in Gaza for a duration of at least two years.
- The ISF is intended to provide security in Gaza during a transition period during which Israel is to gradually withdraw and the Palestinian Authority is to conduct reforms that would enable it to take over Gaza longer-term.
Behind the scenes: A source briefed on the meeting between Waltz and the Palestinian diplomats said it was positive. The U.S. mission to the UN declined to comment on private diplomatic meetings.
- The source said the Palestinian diplomats used the meeting to ask for clarifications on several aspects of the draft resolution.
- Palestinian officials are generally supportive of the U.S. proposal, which talks about ending Hamas rule in Gaza and transferring it back to the PA in the future.
- At the same time, they want to see a more active role for the PA in Gaza in the immediate future.
Between the lines: The Palestinian Authority’s ability to directly influence the text of the draft resolution is very limited, particularly given it doesn’t want to get into a confrontation with the Trump administration.
- But the U.K., France and other European members of the Security Council also want to see a bigger role for the PA in Gaza, sources briefed on the negotiations in New York say.
- According to the sources, France asked the U.S. to insert an amendment to the text that would expand the role of the PA in Gaza. The U.S. and Israel both oppose the amendment, the sources said.
- The sources said the U.S. assessment is that Russia and China might try and ask for amendments, but will not block the resolution from passing.
What to watch: Waltz briefed the ambassadors of the 10 non-permanent members of the council about the draft resolution on Wednesday.
- A source with knowledge said the U.S. wants to conclude the negotiations on the text and bring it to a vote within two weeks.
All they have to do is play for time and wait out Trump’s term of office. Neither Vance nor any likely Dem candidate will be in Israel’s corner. I fear these agreements are built on sand. More wishful thinking.

A classic joke from the Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem plays on the messianic prophecy from Isaiah.
A group of dignitaries is being given a tour of the Jerusalem Zoo. The tour guide proudly points to a cage where a lion is lying peacefully with a lamb.
One of the guests exclaims, “This is incredible! For thousands of years we have prayed for the day when the lion will lie down with the lamb, and you’ve made it happen! How did you do it?”
The zookeeper replies, “It was easy. All it takes is a new lamb every day”.”
Trump is truly naive if he believed what anyone from the PA told him. Surely he knows that they are encouraged to lie in order to further the spread of Islam. If not, he has committed a very dangerous error. The only way for the PA to be involved at all in running Gaza is for their textbooks and their mosques to be thoroughly purged of antisemitic material. Imams must be prevented from preaching hatred and violence, and the IDF must remain in control of security. But I fear this will not happen, and the whole terrible war will have to be fought over again a few years down the road, and this time without a US President who is at all friendly to Israel. Maybe the IDF should just go in now and finish the job.
This just means that the efforts of the last 25 months were in vain. The US profitted from an all inclusive field test of the arms they sold to Israel. These arms did not provide the hoped for or hyped solution and other countries will have recognized that the war must go on for the benefit of the arms dealers. An end to the war is not in sight.
At the end of the 6 day war, Rabin told Israel where our troops were then located. Those exhilarating days are long gone. The Arab threats that so impressed Dayan back then fizzled out as expected, because if they could have, they would gave done what they threatened. Israel must get back on its feet and take over again, that which was given up without compensation. Control of the Temple mount and Judea, Samaria, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. These parts of Israel were won in a defensive war and must remain ours for ever. No more concessions. The only concessions we got in return were the Hudna intervals.
This seems like putting SS in charge of the DP camps for Holocaust Survivors.

Palestinian DIPLOMATS!!!! Get serious US…
Time to get rid of the UN. Just a bunch of fools playing very strange games.
