Hamas appeared to renege on key demands of President Trump’s cease-fire deal just hours after the world celebrated the end of the Gaza war — with a top official saying the terror group will not give up its arms or control over the Gaza Strip. Spokesman Hazem Qassem claimed Monday that Hamas has no need to abide by every word of Trump’s 20-point peace plan, including calls for the terror group to lay down its arms. “We do not need to limit ourselves to the Israeli terms and definitions related to weapons,” Qassem told the Al-Arabiya news channel. “We will...

Hamas ominously released what it called a “parting image” Saturday of the remaining 48 Israelis being held captive in Gaza, as the Jewish state’s ground troops prepare to close in on Gaza City. The image is a compilation of the faces of the captives, with the name Ron Arad inscribed below each one. Arad was an Israeli air force pilot who went missing during a 1986 bombing mission in southern Lebanon, who is believed to have been captured and since died. He is still officially classified as missing. The terror group blames Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for rejecting a...

The juxtaposition could not have been more jarring. I opened TikTok only to be presented with a clip of provocateur Candace Owens ranting to Tucker Carlson about her growing hatred for Israel and its demonic behavior. I closed that app, only to open X and be greeted with this headline: Hamas Forces Emaciated Israeli Hostage To Dig His Own Grave Hamas force starved Israeli hostage to dig his own GRAVE. “What I’m doing now is digging my own grave. Everyday my body becomes weaker and weaker.”Evyatar David appeared skeletal in a newly released video as he was forced to dig...

Hamas claims hostage Evyatar David shares meager rations with captors, but a well-fed terrorist’s hand caught on camera tells a different story; survivors and family denounce the starvation as sadistic propaganda. Hamas released two disturbing videos of 24‑year‑old hostage Evyatar David, kidnapped during the October 7 massacre from the Nova music festival, who has now been held in Gaza for 666 days. The Gaza-based terror group claimed that David’s emaciated condition was due to eating from the same food and drink as his captors But a moment captured in a new video released Saturday undercuts that claim: a captor hands...

The Biden administration has bypassed Congress to send 14,000 rounds of tank ammunition to Israel. The deal is needed, says Secretary of State Antony Blinken, because “Israel is in combat right now with Hamas, and we want to make sure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself against Hamas." The $106 million sale is only a fraction of the $14.3 billion the U.S. wants to send to Israel but can't because Republicans are demanding changes to immigration rules and funds for border security as the price for aid to Israel, Ukraine, and other nations. Joe Biden has indicated...
