Trump: Hostage deal a first step toward lasting Middle East peace
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/1/25 | Elad Benari

Posted on 01/19/2025 11:15:12 PM PST by Eleutheria5

US President-elect Donald Trump spoke on Sunday at a rally in Washington, DC, ahead of his inauguration on Monday, and commented on the release of Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari from Hamas captivity, as part of the ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas.

"This week, we achieved an epic ceasefire agreement as a first step toward lasting peace in the Middle East — and this agreement could only have happened as a result of our historic victory in November," he stated.

“I’m glad to report that the first hostages have just been released, and who knows what’s going to happen,” Trump said, before rejecting President Joe Biden’s claims that he brokered the deal.

Don't get carried away, Don. Peace in the Middle East has been a pipe dream for about a thousand years. Saladin and Richard were about the closest anyone ever came to it, and they weren't even close either.

Congratulations on getting reelected. I voted for you.

My only question is-
were the people raped, tortured or mistreated?
then all bets are off!

Moslems are not human. and should
be regarded as wild animals.
Caged and controlled as in Zoos.
We take very good care of zoo animals
but we don’t let them out to hurt
people.

Pedo Joe Biden was too busy figuring out how he could get one of the grandchildren in the shower...

Yeah. Not sure what he means by this. My guess is the Israelis will be back pounding Hamas again as soon as the ceasefire is over.

[a first step toward lasting Middle East peace]

Welcome back Mr. President; may you be safe and protected from all harm and prosper against thine enemies.

I just wish he understood where “Middle East peace” will go.

I expect very few will understand until it is ... too late.

But there are things prophesied that must happen; for they are already written down.

Chill. We got this. They are human. So were the Germans back then, and they had Oscar Schindler, Raoul Wallenberg, and the plotters of Operation Valkyrie, just to name the most famous. The fact that the evil 7 October actors were human, as were the concentration camp guards and Eichman, makes them all the more frightening.

His people drafted and proposed the framework for the deal, but nobody was biting until Trump said there’d be “hell to pay” if they didn’t free the hostages. They still didn’t free all the hostages, just some. I look forward to hell paying.

How many convicted terrorists were released by Israel as part of this deal?

This ends in Gods time. There is one God and it ain’t Mohammad. This is an interlude until the adversary takes his next swing. IMO

Peace in the Middle East has been a pipe dream for about a thousand years........there’s a
huge price tag on “peace,” with the US taxpayer gamely trying to meet the latest “peace price.”

Yours is a ridiculous statement and not very Christian, if that is your persuasion.

But yes, too many are radicals and dangerous.

And YES...women AND men were raped...and other HORRIFIC things that many don’t know about on that horrible day in October.

As for your post...are moslem kids not human? Should they be regarded as animals and controlled in zoos?

What about liberals? Their ideology is JUST AS damning to the US...many liberals are members of religions you approve of.

So that gets them a pass from being in a zoo?

Talk like an adult next time.

Ciao

Puzzling that Trump would support such a deal but then again, an imam will deliver the prayer at his inauguration and the Gay National Anthem will be also be played.

You know as well as I that there will never be lasting peace in Palestine until there is a Palestine again. Killing all the Palestinians, Bibi tried. That is the only other option for peace along the Mediterranean coast.

After you’ve achieved that, the really hard work of getting Moslem to quit killing Moslem begins. Peace in the ME is as elusive as peace in Europe.

Some further background on Islam and sexual depravity was published at Gates of Vienna.

“And YES...women AND men were raped...and other HORRIFIC things that many don’t know about on that horrible day in October.”

And not just October 7. The Islamic Law encourages and practically requires that female captives be raped.

Good guess. Hamas WILL do something evil and stupid. The IDF won’t have to worry about the hostages anymore and Biden won’t be there to threaten Israel.

It should be quick and decisive.

He has to talk it up - but he did get some hostages released....more than Pedo Joe and Blinken ever did.
