While I hope and pray that a diplomatic solution to end the Iranian conflict and deny Iran the ability to produce a nuclear weapon and stop their reign of terror on the region may be at hand, we still must understand who we are dealing with.
Since the latest ceasefire, Hezbollah has been unrelenting in their attacks against Israel to the point there are areas in northern Israel that have been evacuated because of the constant attacks. What would America do in a similar situation?
Hezbollah is financed and controlled by Iran, with a lot of American blood on its hands. It is clear to me that no matter what deal we sign with Iran, Hezbollah’s stated ambitions of destroying Israel and making Lebanon a caliphate have not fundamentally changed.
May God protect the United States and may God protect the State of Israel.

Spanish Flotilla members arriving in Bilbao airport were blocking the arrivals gate posing for photos and police tried to move them and they got violent. So police DRAGGED them out. This is who they are. They have cause chaos everywhere.
The ongoing operation against Iran is the clearest illustration yet of the intimate military & diplomatic alliance between Israel and the US. Hundreds of Israeli and American combat aircraft flying side by side - refueling one another, sharing real-time intelligence, executing missions like the strike that killed Khamenei - leave no daylight between our countries.
This morning with @jimsciutto on @CNN.
Starting a year ago, I have been repeatedly sharing this image that Al Jazeera itself captured of Hamas's terrorists emerging out of the al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, after the first ceasefire was announced when Trump first became president, pleading with journalists, humanitarian advocates and organizations, and political mediators to demand Hamas end its horrendous activities in medical facilities. It took over a year, thousands of dead, tortured, jailed and beaten Gazans at the al-Nasser Hospital for @MSF (Doctors Without Borders) to stop its operations there and publicly acknowledge that Hamas terror operatives are in the facility and endangering the sanctity of this critical medical installation. Shame on all who knew, and most NGOs have in fact known about this, but chose to remain silent, opting instead to just "keep the focus on Israel" for political and fundraising convenience.
US Central Command is confirming what everyone in Gaza has known, but was denied for two years by international journalists, activists, politicians, NGOs, and supposed "experts": Hamas has been systematically stealing, looting & siphoning aid meant for suffering Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Footage from an American surveillance drone monitoring the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel captured footage of a specific example that shows Hamas in the act.
What makes the conclusion of the video 100% is the presence of a pick-up truck full of Hamas operatives, passing by the truck as the knocked-out driver is being thrown in the median divider of the road. These are the pick-up trucks that Hamas's "police" and enforcers use to roam around Gaza, execute, murder, kidnap, torture, and disappear people.
Stuffing Gaza full of aid and goods, only for Hamas's terrorists to steal, sell, or tax such items as a means of making money and staying a relevant fighting force, is never going to work as a long-term strategy. The issue isn't about a shortage of aid; it's about who will access this aid. There is no lasting stability or peace until Hamas is removed from Gaza, a step that will require the use of force against this fascist militia.
Hamas’s 'Sahem' unit this evening, seconds before executing Palestinians in Gaza suspected of collaboration - no trial, only cheering crowds.
The U.K., Australia, Canada and others speak of a two-state solution while an armed, fundamentalist, murderous movement remains the most popular political force with Palestinians.
What is required is real work to resolve this, so that Palestinians can genuinely exercise their right to national self-determination.
It will not be achieved through speeches crafted for domestic consumption.
Just a reminder: recent reports from Gaza say families relocated from Gaza City are being charged up to $1,200 for a tent.
Could this explain why UN agencies are dragging their feet in distributing those tents — fully funded by the international community — to Gazans who desperately need them?
The same way as they let food aid — including baby formula — rot in the sun?
Because someone there is making a lot of money from these artificially created shortages?
Here’s one war crime that pundits and experts most likely will let slide: Iranian proxy Houthis firing Iranian cluster bombs indiscriminately at Israeli civilians. A dangerous escalation.
Hamas is - once again - calling on civilian Palestinians not to evacuate from areas where Israel will launch attacks.
In other words; asking them to die
Starmer has embarrassed and humiliated UK by fawning to Hamas, to prop us his new base vote.
While the traditional Labour vote fume at his weakness on immigration and the boats.
It only took 22 months for the entire Arab League to accept the legitimacy of Israel's war goals.
Imagine how much suffering could have been avoided if they'd accepted the obvious on October 8, 2023?
Interesting statement from the Hostage Families Forum:
"Recognizing a Palestinian state while 50 hostages remain trapped in Hamas tunnels amounts to rewarding terrorism...The abduction of men, women, and children, who are being held against their will in tunnels while subjected to starvation and physical and psychological abuse, cannot and should not serve as the foundation for establishing a state.
If the international community truly desires peace, it must join U.S. efforts by demanding first the release of all hostages, followed by an end to the fighting.
Recognition of a Palestinian state before the hostages are returned will be remembered throughout history as validating terrorism as a legitimate pathway to political goals."
The GHF uses private security to escort aid trucks, and it has delivered nearly 100 million meals.
The UN is asking for Hamas police protection, and practically everything it picks up gets looted on the way.
Only Israel can urge the United Nations to pick up 800 trucks of aid that are already waiting inside Gaza… and be accused of withholding food aid at the same time. This is simply deranged.
