Hamas said on Friday it would agree to some of the terms in U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war, including releasing hostages, but avoided addressing more vexing issues like disarmament and said it would seek further negotiations.

It was unclear if the U.S. or Israel would be willing to engage in further negotiations on the plan's terms. Hamas did not say if it...

Mark Carney’s Liberal government appears to be employing Antifa extremists inside federal institutions — even within our national defence system. At Rebel News, we did what the Montreal police should have done. We launched a reward campaign to identify and track down the thug who thought he could get away with attacking Sean Feucht's Christian worship service with incendiary smoke bombs. Not only did we find him — but what we uncovered may expose one of the most alarming national security breaches in recent Canadian history. The alleged smoke bomber is Gabriel Lepage, an employee of the Longue-Pointe military base...

When Israeli jets struck Hamas targets in Doha on September 9, 2025, the explosions reverberated far beyond the Qatari capital. The attack, aimed at senior Hamas leaders residing in Qatar, marked the first known Israeli strike on Gulf soil. It also highlighted a deeper transformation in Middle Eastern politics: the emerging alignment between Israel and Gulf monarchies against the Muslim Brotherhood — and the controversies surrounding Qatar’s influence that some call “Qatargate.” On that September night, Israeli F-15s and F-35s launched missiles over the Red Sea, arching through Saudi skies before slamming into Doha’s upscale neighborhoods. The targets: Hamas leaders...

Because they made the mistake of sabotaging his escalator and then his prompter, the President of the United States opened up a supersized can of geopolitical whup-ass on the UN General Assembly this week, pithily summarised by many headline-writers thus:Trump's middle finger to the UN: 'Your countries are going to hell'In fairness, this insight was mainly directed at America's "allies" in Europe. The particular hell they are going to will not be news to those who've swung by this shingle over the last twenty-three years, but I thought it might be worth doing a brisk tour d'horizon of where we're...

Ley, believing that Australia’s decision rewards Hamas, noted her disappointment at “this break with bipartisanship and reiterated the Coalition’s long-held position that recognition must only come at the end of a genuine two-state process,” she wrote, also in a X/Twitter post. “Now is the wrong time while Hamas holds hostages and while conflict still rages.
