Again, the $6B to Iran for the prisoner swap was in aid, food, medicine, and equipment. Not cash.

Most military support (actual cash and weapons) for Iran comes from Russia, China, and North Korea. Not the food and medicine we sent.

This was a MASSIVE Israeli intelligence failure. Despite Israel's technological surveillance dominance over Gaza, HAMAS & PIJ exercised tight operational security closer to ISIS al-Qaeda's: with very small, vetted cells compartmented from each other & ideologically devoted to cause. They apparently only communicated by word of mouth, not by phones or computers. Israeli informants proved worthless or were flipped. HAMAS completely defeated detection. Also they had outstanding intelligence on Israel's positions. Egyptian intelligence to blamed too as they control tunnels and goods into Gaza fm Sinai. US intel relies on them plus Jordan. But the game now shifts to Israel's heavy forces with goal to obliterate armed resistance. In Gaza its a street level combat ISR mission now.

The Ukrainian people are well aware of what insidious terror is. Today, more than anyone else, we wish the people of Israel courage and fortitude to overcome the ordeal of these days, and we wish the Israel Defense Forces strength and complete victory.

The nefarious terrorist attack today is an attack not only on Israel, but on the global order. The agenda is the same: the impunity of the murderers, which sometimes emerges from the position: "let's negotiate with the terrorists". The fear of conservative elites of the need to really punish the outlaws severely.

Russia in Ukraine has been showing for more than 19 months that you can rape, kill civilians, kidnap them, abuse children, organize mass mutilation of the dead, and turn the temporarily occupied territories into one big torture chamber - and there are always those who say that defensive weapons can lead to escalation, that terrorists should be listened to, that you don't have to defend your homes.

Russia has opened the door to an unmitigated hell and shown everyone else that impunity is now limitless.

In Israel we see exactly the same pattern, the same model of behavior in a foreign territory and the same set of tools used by Hamas terrorists. Ask the question: who is behind Hamas and who is supporting this attack? The answer is obvious.

It's time for the right decisions. At all levels.

A high-level Hamas delegation travelled to Moscow twice last year to meet with Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov.

They promised Russia that they would "work to weaken the West"

💥The Israeli army warned Netanyahu for months that his push for government overhaul put Israel at great risk of a multi-front attack. He dismissed their warnings by accusing the military of "joining the left-wing protesters" against him. His ministers said army could go to hell.

from a senior Knesset source: "We haven’t got control of all the places in the south yet. The number of people murdered has exceeded 100 and injured above 1000. It’s the most Israeli civilians killed in one day in our history. Inexplicable."

BREAKING: Biden after his call with Netanyahu: The United States warns against any other party hostile to Israel seeking advantage in this situation. My Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering

Let's go back to the beginning: Israel bought & paid for every inch of its land. The day after Israel became an independent nation, May, 1948, it was attacked by five Arab nations.
Repeat, ISRAEL PAID FOR ITS LAND.

We've always known that @RealDonaldTrump is a fraud and a con, and now the rest of America knows it too. His crimes are catching up to him as his scam empire is being ripped from his tiny hands.

JUST IN: There has been a significant increase in the murder and capture of CIA agents during a period when there were concerns about the security of CIA assets and documents related to Donald Trump.

In 2021, the CIA raised alarm bells globally over these developments. It is worth noting that during this time, there were allegations that former President Trump harbored stolen documents related to CIA assets.

These allegations have raised concerns that Trump may have compromised sensitive intelligence information, not just by sharing it with Mar-a-Lago guests, but potentially by engaging in actions that could have detrimental effects on national security and intelligence operations.
