President Trump posted on TruthSocial earlier this afternoon that Edan Alexander and other hostages will be coming home. The bodies of the deceased hostages will also be returned. The deal was worked out with Qatar, a terrorist sympathizer, Turkey, and Egypt. President Trump said he hopes this is the first of the final steps to end this war.
“I am happy to announce that Edan Alexander, an American citizen who has been held hostage since October 2023, is coming home to his family. I am grateful to all those involved in making this monumental news happen. This was a step taken in good faith towards the United States and the efforts of the mediators — Qatar and Egypt — to put an end to this very brutal war and return ALL living hostages and remains to their loved ones. Hopefully, this is the first of those final steps necessary to end this brutal conflict. I look very much forward to that day of celebration!”
Israel: We’ll Have to Detox from US Security Assistance
Hamas and the United States announced an agreement today that will lead to the freeing of Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, a dual American citizen, ahead of President Donald Trump’s trip to the region. Israel was reportedly not involved in the discussions, but was informed about the deal afterward.
Israeli airstrikes have intensified throughout the day. “I think we’ll have to detox from US security assistance,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded today.
The deal is part of efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and allow humanitarian aid to enter the besieged enclave.
Israel plans to take over Gaza.
“The movement affirms its readiness to immediately start intensive negotiations and make serious efforts to reach a final agreement to end the war, exchange prisoners in an agreed-upon manner,” exiled Gaza Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya said.
President Trump is traveling to the Middle East this week and has no plans to visit Israel.

Netanyahu is beginning to consider eliminating any further US military aid to Israel.

Lizzy Savetsky criticizes Trump’s recent moves: We’d be outraged if it were Biden She then pointed out, “If these things were happening under Biden or under Harris, we would be sounding the alarm 100-fold. Taking gifts from Qatar, the same country responsible for housing Hamas terrorists, funding terrorism, and influencing anti-American, antisemitic ideologies that are taking over our college campuses.… Read more »
It’s concerning for the reasons Lizzy mentions. That story about Trump feeling manipulated by Netanyahu could be true. Then we have all the forces who want to spirit us away from Israel. It sounds like Israel plans to take over Gaza no matter what the US does.
I should add that I don’t see Trump abandoning Israel.
Lizzy Savetsky is just ranting. She is a liberal arts “influencer” from some real housewives show. You folks can use better sources than someone that is clearly biased. Trump has nothing to do with the infestation in colleges, but he is doing something about it. Lizzy is just a whiner. Countries have made so much money off the USA, an… Read more »
We’ll see. I want the war to end.
I should add that the jet was a nice offer and it would have been rude to reject it, and of course Trump has nothing to do with infestation in colleges. I also don’t want to abandon Israel so we’ll see how this turns out. It’s not about the jet, it’s about the message and I’m not sure what it… Read more »
You don’t understand the point. Oct 7th has galvanized virtually the entire population in Israel and the Diaspora. Even Michael Rappaport, who I never heard of except for maybe one clip, has changed and come out in full support and spent time in Israel in support. She was talking about Qatari money and wasn’t blaming Trump. A great many have… Read more »
Libya is taking a million Hamas terrorists, are they crazy? Can they support them since most don’t want to work anyway?
