It appears President Donald Trump’s threat against Hamas might have worked. The terrorist group announced on Thursday that it would free Israeli hostages on Saturday, as was originally planned in an earlier ceasefire agreement. The announcement came after President Trump indicated he was losing his patience with Hamas and that there would be consequences if they did not adhere to the agreement. While discussing the matter with reporters on Sunday, he commented on an earlier hostage release, saying Hamas’ prisoners “look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors.” At some point we're going to lose our patience when I see...

Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani, a member of the National Security Committee in the Iranian parliament, said on Wednesday that some of his fellow lawmakers are urging the Iranian regime to rapidly develop nuclear weapons to halt President Donald Trump’s agenda for the Middle East. “A few months before Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election, several experts said that Iran needed to build a nuclear bomb,” Ardestani told an Iranian news website. “In this context, several members of the Majles wrote to the Supreme National Security Council, and also a number of clergy and government members appealed to the supreme leader...

The New York Times is apparently more concerned about taxpayer-funded goods from USAID not making their way into Hamas-controlled Gaza than USAID potentially funding Hamas terrorists. The February 8 print edition of The Times had this insane headline blaring over the front page: “U.S.A.I.D. Turmoil Threatens Goods Heading to Gaza.” Sure, let’s just forget about the enormous waste that USAID perpetrated over the years, right? Jerusalem Bureau Chief Patrick Kingsley and reporter Adam Rasgon mourned that “[t]he Trump administration’s efforts to downsize the United States Agency for International Development have endangered the funding for food, tents and medical treatment for...

The Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas and other Palestinians on October 7, 2023 could have been released a long time ago had the Biden administration exerted pressure on Qatar to use its good relations with the Islamist group to force it to do so.All Qatar had to do was to summon the Hamas leaders in Doha and give them an ultimatum to release all the hostages immediately or face deportation from the Gulf state. It is hard to see how the Hamas leaders would have been able to say no to their major political and financial patrons and backers.... The...

The Hamas terror organization on Tuesday night issued an official response to Israel's ultimatum, under which Hamas will either release hostages on Saturday, as per the deal, or the fighting will restart. In its announcement, Hamas claimed that it is committed to the ceasefire deal, but that its commitment is dependent on Israel - "as long as the occupation is committed to it." The terror group also claimed that Israel is not meeting its obligations, and blamed Israel for "delays and complications" in the deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a Cabinet meeting following Hamas' violation of the agreement...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump's attempt to solve the long-running hostage situation between Israel and Hamas hit an obstacle today, as Hamas convinced a Biden-appointed federal judge to overturn Trump's order to release their hostages. On Monday, Trump issued a stern ultimatum to Hamas to release all remaining hostages by noon on Saturday or face dire consequences, but sources confirmed that Hamas leaders obtained a ruling from a judge appointed by the previous administration to effectively tie Trump's hands. "The President of the United States has no legal right to do anything, ever," said Judge Gregory Chandler. "The Constitution...

President Donald Trump said in a Monday interview with Fox News that Iran is terrified after losing almost all its air defenses amid last year’s Israeli aerial attack and is now seeking to make a deal with the Untied States. “Iran is very concerned. Iran is very frightened, to be honest with you, because their defense is pretty much gone,” Trump said of the October Israeli airstrikes. US intelligence has described that several Russian-supplied S-300 anti-air defense systems were destroyed. “Maybe they are trying to get new defense as we speak but their defense is largely gone… Iran is very...

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) announced "I am filing papers to impeach Trump for his dastardly deeds. His proposal to turn Gaza into the Middle East's 'Riviera' is a monstrous intrusion against the nation of Palestine. It would completely transform that nation from its longstanding traditions of poverty and hostility toward the neighboring state of Israel. Instead, an alien motif of prosperity and pleasure would displace the eternal struggle that has been their way of life for centuries." "Trump's actions show a callous indifference toward the Islamic religion," Green ranted. "It is their belief that the pleasures and prosperity Trump wants...

Israel will resume “intense fighting” in Gaza if Hamas doesn’t release hostages by midday Saturday, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video statement after a four-hour security cabinet meeting. “If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday noon,” he says, “the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will return to intense fighting until Hamas is finally defeated.” US President Donald Trump yesterday called for all hostages to be released by Hamas by Saturday. Israeli statements today have taken care not to call for all 76 remaining hostages to be released by the weekend. An Israeli official says that...

Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Tuesday will be the first Arab leader to meet with President Trump at the White House. This time, it is shaping up to be more of a burden than a blessing, as the president weighs the possibility of reduced aid to sell him on his plan to resettle Gaza. Trump’s surprise proposal—for the U.S. to take over the Gaza Strip and develop it as an international destination while its residents are relocated—has shocked the Middle East, but he has continued to press the case, including saying in an interview aired Monday that Palestinians wouldn’t have...

Bound. Starved. Wounded. Tortured. These are the conditions that some hostages being held in Gaza still face, according to information their families said they had received from Israeli military and security officials after Hamas released three captives on Saturday as part of a cease-fire agreement. The emaciated appearance of three hostages released in a ceremony in Gaza staged by Hamas last weekend — Eli Sharabi, 52; Or Levy, 34; and Ohad Ben-Ami, 56 — and the details of their captivity have relatives of the remaining captives sounding the alarm about the urgent need for the continuation of the phased cease-fire...

CNN's Jim Sciutto, sitting in for Kasie Hunt on CNN This Morning, teed up a Palestinian to repeatedly accuse Trump of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, and Israel of "genocide." Words that never passed the ex-Obama diplomat's lips: October 7th, Hamas, or hostages. Instead, Sciutto created a free-fire zone for the Palestinian to attack Trump and Israel. [snip] The guest is a director of a Palestinian think tank, Al-Shabaka. As for which group is, in fact, proposing genocide and ethnic cleansing, have a look at this photo, which adorns an Al-Shabaka article on its vision for the Palestinian future. Nakba is...

The Hamas terrorist group on Tuesday dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for the release of all remaining Israeli and American hostages from Gaza by noon on Saturday, or the ceasefire deal is over — and Israel can respond as it wants. AP reports Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the dozens of hostages would only be returned if all parties remain committed to a ceasefire deal reached last month. “Trump must remember there is an agreement that must be respected by both parties,” he cautioned, adding threatening language only complicates matters.

President Trump warned the Hamas terror group Monday night to release all remaining hostages by noon Saturday, or he would allow Israel to cancel the ongoing cease-fire and “let hell break out” in the Middle East. “As far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock — I think it’s an appropriate time — I would say, cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office, without specifying what time zone the deadline would apply to. “I’d say they ought to be...

Iranian ‘supreme leader’ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ruled out any negotiations with the United States on any important issues for the foreseeable future during remarks on Friday, warning his underlings in Tehran that attempting diplomacy with Washington was “dishonorable.” “Some people pretend that if we sit at the negotiating table, some problem will be solved, but the fact that we must understand correctly is that negotiating with the US has no effect on solving the country’s problems,” Khamenei declared, speaking at an event with the Iranian Air Force to mark the anniversary of the jihadist revolution in 1979. The “supreme leader”...
