Candace Owens doesn’t agree with Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize because the people of Gaza are in danger. She said : "And Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, by the way. For the planned ethnic cleansing so that they could profit on land and turn it into a beach town. So let me say this. This is our never again, okay? This is a Holocaust. A Holocaust just happened. A real Holocaust just happened. We will never forget this. You need to tell your children what happened in Gaza. You can tell them exactly who did it, exactly whose...

President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the Gaza war has not only won support from Israel, but also from the Arab and Muslim world — and from the Palestinian Authority, which has opposed his plans in the past. The 20-point plan, as Breitbart News has noted, would fulfill Israel’s goals of freeing the remaining hostages, as well as disarming Hamas and removing it from power. It also offers the prospect of a Palestinian state — if Hamas complies with the plan and the Palestinian Authority agrees to sweeping reforms of its policies and anti-Israel culture. If Hamas does not agree,...

The UN Human Rights Council has released a report detailing a “black list” of international companies operating in Judea and Samaria. The council listed 112 companies which it claims violate international law by continuing to operate in the Jewish communities in the area, including Airbnb, Expedia, and TripAdvisor. Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz responded to the black List, saying that “the UN Human Rights Council’s announcement of the “black list” of business companies is a shameful surrender to the pressures of countries and organizations interested in hurting Israel, even though most countries in the world have refused to join this political...

Resignations Come After Sanctions on Israel-Focused Rapporteur: In the week prior to the commissioners’ resignation announcements, Secretary of State Marco Rubio imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UNHRC special rapporteur dedicated to scrutinizing Israel, for her role in supporting International Criminal Court (ICC) efforts targeting U.S. and Israeli citizens. The commission panelists met with top ICC staff in The Hague in 2022. In June 2024, the commission stated that it was “cooperating with accountability processes in the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.”

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he may travel to Egypt this weekend as his negotiators seek to seal a Gaza hostages-for-ceasefire deal. Trump said at the White House that a deal is "very close," and that he may depart Saturday for the region. He spoke after talking to his team about the talks. Negotiators have been meeting in Egypt to try to complete an agreement. As Trump held an event, Secretary of State Marco Rubio entered the room and handed Trump a note. Trump read it and then described what the note said.

After two years of war, there is a chance of a deal that will end the killing and destruction in Gaza and return the Israeli hostages, living and dead, to their families. It is an opportunity, but it is not certain that it will be seized by Hamas and Israel.It is a grim coincidence that the talks are happening exactly two years after Hamas inflicted a trauma on Israelis that is still acute. The 7 October attacks killed around 1,200 people, mostly Israeli civilians, and 251 were taken hostage. The Israelis estimate that 20 hostages are still alive and they...

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The United States cannot ignore the impact the war in Gaza has had on Israel's global standing, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday, as Israel's diplomatic isolation mounts despite Washington's attempts to shield its ally. "Whether you believe it was justified or not, right or not, you cannot ignore the impact that this has had on Israel's global standing," Rubio told CBS News' 'Face The Nation'. He was responding to a question about remarks by President Donald Trump to Israel's Channel 12 in an interview published on Saturday: "Bibi (Israel's Prime...

Some two weeks before the 2nd anniversary of October 7, the UN, the UK, France, Australia, Canada and other failed radical governments rallied to commemorate the massacres, kidnappings and rapes by giving the Islamic terrorists responsible for it their own ‘state’. Along with a High Holidays gift to the Jews celebrating their new year. The invention of a ‘Palestinian’ state is the capstone to the Big Lie that this is a war between Israel and some smaller population in Gaza or the West Bank rather than a regional conflict between Muslims and Jews, as part of a global conflict between...

There is a price to pay for the virulent, aggressive, pre-pogrom antisemitism that has swept the globe these past two years. Our blood is literally running in the streets of cities around the world. Our numbers are so small, just .2% of humanity. Many of us personally know and have connections to victims and survivors of this horror.

Palestinianism includes: Rewriting history.Converting immigrants' grandchildren into "natives."The aggressor as victim - false victinhood. 'Dead baby strategy' --using its very own--not the adversary's-- population as human shields to make sure they die in order to blame Israel, ever since Arafat reign in Lebanon. Injecting "palestinian" propaganda at every group cause, unrelated. Pallywood, fake imagery. Gloatimg in public, dancing at others' pain. (911, and at every racist-Arab terror attack on Jews anywhere in the world), Almost unique animalism: waving organs as hundreds moan in public square at the Oct 2000 Ramallah Lynch; Oct 7 upclose and personal cruelty, bragging with severe...

European soccer body UEFA is moving toward a vote to suspend its member federation Israel over the war in Gaza, people familiar with the proposal told The Associated Press on Thursday. A majority of the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) 20-member executive committee is expected to support any vote in favor of suspending Israeli teams from international play, two sources told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject. Such a step would prevent Israeli national and clubs teams from playing in international competitions including next year's World Cup. Israel's men's team is...

Former US president Barack Obama has said there is no military rationale right now for continuing to pummel what is already broken in Gaza, and he said it was unacceptable to ignore the human crisis that is happening there. He said children there were starving and that a starting point in the crisis would be for both sides to acknowledge each other’s history, in a bid to break the cycle of violence. He told a paying audience at the 3Arena in Dublin that where the truth becomes whitewashed, “you lose touch with reality and it puts you in a position...

The United States said it would revoke Colombian President Gustavo Petro's visa after he took to New York's streets on Friday in a pro-Palestinian demonstration and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey President Donald Trump's orders. "We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions," the State Department posted on X. Petro, addressing a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters outside the U.N. headquarters in Manhattan, called for a global armed force with the priority to liberate Palestinians, adding, "This force has to be bigger than that of the United States." "That's why from here, from New York, I ask...
