It's never going to make it to Phase Two, I've said that from the beginning. And Egypt and Jordan will take in some Gazans. The deal was struck as a last-ditch effort to get out some hostages and buy time to finalize the New Middle East plan and time is up. And Israel can't be worried about what the International Community says; it will never ever be on the side of Israel, even when they see the people of Iran and Lebanon cheering in the street and thanking Israel for liberating them; even when Israel saves the world from Iran getting the nuclear bomb; even when tons of evidence of how morally Israel fought this war against terrorists; even when all the money flowing to the United Nations is revealed (and not just the UN); even when the New ME is thriving and how quickly it blossoms into a region of peace, prosperity and coexistence, protected by one of the strongest militarizes in the world (Israel). No, they'll keep hating Jews. Time is up. It's "go time."
I agree. Everything now rests on Israel’s ability to hold firm. They must not waver. The tactics of Hamas during this exchange has been as expected. They now want the last word. Israel is at a tipping point and it must go forward all the way. Such a delicate line to walk but carry it through. 🙏
Absolutely expected. It makes me wonder whether all living hostages have in fact been returned. Why are they choosing this moment to cause a crisis? It's a horrible thought, but I do wonder.
With Biden and Blinken now out of the picture and Trump and Rubio in, the dynamics have completely changed. Netanyahu has given Hamas an ultimatum, and if it is not met, he will starting bombing the hell out of Gaza. Israel needs to reduce Gaza to glass and make a concerted effort to kill every last Hamas terrorist. A good way to do that is to cut off their water and wait about six weeks. Israel needs to stop fooling around with these animals. Bring them to their knees, then exile all Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt.
The only international entity Israel need concern itself with is the United States, to hell with all the rest if they can't support Israel in its war against aggression and extermination. Trump has made it clear he supports Israel however they might respond.
This ultimatum should have been delivered October 8th (Obviously, we know why it wasn't). It seems to me that it's too late now for it to do any good. I hope I'm wrong.
Great ......let's hope that will be no more delays returning the hostages, ALL OF THEM !!!!! before is too late.....and also let's pray that 2025, will be the LAST YEAR of evil Hamas in Gaza......Amen.....
Enough already. Finish these psychopaths. Time for talk is over. Antisemitism and weakness of the West is what encouraged these Nazis in the first place.
Sorry Josh, but we gave Hamas the advantage when we signed the ceasefire deal. They - and other Jew-killers - always had it the moment they realized we would trade hostages and release thousands of terrorist prisoners on Israel and the world.
Susan, for what it’s worth, I agree. They’re holding the entire nation hostage and gleefully watching. One can only hope that the IDF may have intelligence on some if not all of the hostage locations.
Yes, hopefully the IDF has this info but don't count on it. And we can't be held "hostage" as a country anymore or we won't have a country left. At least Trump released all the weapons and ammo that Biden withheld from us. I say let it fly! Kill a few Pally civilians as collateral damage and let Trump blame Egypt and Jordan for refusing to take them.
Of course Israel must break the cycle of terrorism. Honestly, once all hostages are back Israel should do whatever is necessary to decimate Hamas, regardless of what was agreed to in negotiations.
However, Netanyahu’s government must also consider the broader geopolitical implications. A return to intense fighting would likely draw international criticism
I don’t understand why the psychological manipulation is so effective when it’s so see-through and obvious. I really think a blind man should be able to see it, yet Hamas has been incredibly effective in manipulating millions of Westerners to the point that they’re on the side of the terrorists.
Trump is not going there. From an American perspective,he keeps his promises and a big one is to keep Americans out foreign wars. Help with negotiations is one thing. Boots on the ground is against Israeli and US policy.
Trump’s talk with Zelensky then sending his envoy to Russia resulted in the release yesterday of an American imprisoned by Putin and left behind by O’Biden.
PDJT and PMBN are multitaskers. I have complete faith in both of these knowledgeable men who never fold regardless of what’s thrown at them. The almighty has His hand on both.

Exactly right.
100%.

I agree. The condition the last poor souls were in was shocking. It really could be why they stopped it. Awful!

Hold the arms of Trump up as Joshua kills the enemy. This weekend. May The Lord be before you and behind you, Israel.

Great post.
Joshua, have you read "Killing the Killers" by Bill O'Reilly? That's the way it's done.

Yes, Trump is not confused about cause and effect.

The world must treat hamas as it does al qaeda and isis.
Screw geopolitical implications and international criticism.

What will happen to the hostages if Israel attacks?
They will probably die if they are not dead already. But we can't cave to Hamas any longer because of hostages. We need to attack.

Agreed. Not only would that not sit well for the US and Trump's presidency, it would cast the Israelis as weak.
