A group of Arab states on Monday publicly backed President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and create a pathway for a Palestinian state.
The governments of Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt released a joint statement on Monday backing the plan after Trump rolled it out in a White House event alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The joint statement of the Arab states was signed by the foreign minister of each.
The Arab states “welcome President Donald J Trump&#8217;s leadership and his sincere efforts to end the war in Gaza, and assert their confidence in his ability to find a path to peace,” the joint statement said.
“The ministers welcome the announcement by President Trump regarding his proposal to end the war, rebuild Gaza, prevent the displacement of the Palestinian people and advance a comprehensive peace, as well as his announcement that he will not allow the annexation of the West Bank,” the statement continued.
“The ministers affirm their readiness to engage positively and constructively with the United States and the parties toward finalizing the agreement and ensuring its implementation, in a manner that ensures peace, security, and stability for the peoples of the region,” it said.

Trump announced the plan on Monday, celebrating “a historic day for peace.” The president said that, in addition to providing a pathway to peace between Israel and Gaza and laying the groundwork for a Palestinian state, the framework could create “eternal peace in the Middle East.”

The wide support for the agreement among Arab states places additional pressure on Hamas to agree to the deal. Under the terms of the agreement, the terror group, and others like it, would be demilitarized, dismantled, and blocked from having administrative control over the Gaza Strip.
“If Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible – they’re the only one left, everyone else has accepted it – but I have a feeling we’re going to have a positive answer. But if not, you know, Bibi, you’d have our full backing to do what you have to do,” said Trump.
Netanyahu echoed Trump’s threat in remarks following the U.S. president.
“If Hamas rejects your plan, Mr. President, or if they supposedly accept it, and then, basically, do everything to counter it, then Israel will finish the job by itself. This can be done the easy way, or it can be done the hard way. But it will be done,” the prime minister said.

Arab States Line Up Behind Trump’s Middle East Peace Plan

CONTINUE READING

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk warned Israel&#8217;s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a growing wave of anti-Israel and antisemitic sentiment in the United States, adding that advocating for Israel was one of his &#8220;greatest joys&#8221; in life.
Kirk’s final letter to Netanyahu, published on Monday by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/29/us-news/charlie-kirk-wrote-of-his-deep-love-for-israel-in-letter-to-netanyahu-about-how-to-counter-rising-opposition-to-the-jewish-state-in-the-us/">New York Post</a>, expressed frustration over what Kirk saw as a massive failing by Israel to fight for its own interests in the public square. Kirk urged the prime minister to consider a “communications reset” and build an approach to public relations modeled off the Trump administration’s.
&#8220;The purpose of this letter is to lay out our concerns and outline potential remedies,&#8221; Kirk wrote. &#8220;Everything written here is from a place of deep love for Israel and the Jewish people.&#8221;
“I know you’ve got a 7 front war and my kvetching pales in comparison. But I’m trying to convey to you that Israel is losing support even in conservative circles,&#8221; Kirk wrote. &#8220;This should be a 5 alarm fire.”
The late conservative commentator gave the prime minister a series of recommendations on how to approach the information war raging across social media and driving anti-Israel bias even among the “conservative MAGA community.” He also warned that the wave of antisemitic content on social media was bleeding into college campuses, where Kirk could often be found advocating for conservatism. 
“Israel is getting CRUSHED on social media and you are losing younger generations of Americans, even among MAGA conservatives. In my opinion, you are losing the information war which will eventually translate into less political and military support from America,” said Kirk. “The Holy Land is so important to my life, and it pains me to see support for Israel slip away.”
Some of Kirk’s recommendations included hiring an aggressive public relations team, mentioning White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and White House official Stephen Miller as examples of people who know how to fight. Kirk also urged Netanyahu to task his government with creating a “one stop shop” for rapid response to counter the most pressing questions of the day about Israel’s conduct in war, its treatment of minorities, its use of U.S. aid, and other issues pressed by anti-Israel voices.
Throughout the letter, Kirk expressed his support and joy for defending Israel and the Holy Land. But he also vented significant frustration. Kirk repeatedly expressed that he was taking on the responsibility that should rightfully be shouldered by the Israeli government. Kirk could play a supporting role, but “pro Israel surrogates like me should not be in charge of fact checking every piece of anti-Israel information that pours into social media,” he wrote.
Kirk suggested that Netanyahu even launch an “Israel Truth Network (ITN)” to begin to counter rampant anti-Israel stories going viral across social media platforms such as X and TikTok. The pundit suggested a number of concrete ideas, such as getting normal Israelis to go on camera and talk about what they love about their country, or capture video of Israeli planes dropping warnings ahead of airstrikes to save civilian lives.
Kirk suggested that Israel create public relations material out of Israeli efforts to help the United States recover from natural disasters. The project would show the world that Israel is on the side of “humanity.”
Kirk offered his private number to Netanyahu to discuss the letter further, as well as any way Kirk’s team could assist the prime minister in putting into action any of the suggestions listed in the letter. 
Though Kirk was always clear about his support for Israel, his views have come under new scrutiny after he was assassinated. The letter offers additional clarity to his views, putting an end to any effort to rewrite the history of his views on the issue.

‘5 Alarm Fire’: Charlie Kirk Warned Bibi Of PR Crisis In Letter, Said He Had ‘Deep Love’ For Israel

The White House released a plan on Monday that could establish “eternal peace in the Middle East” by ending the war in Gaza and creating a pathway for Palestinian statehood.
The plan contains 20 points, one less than an initial framework proposed by the United States and passed around by diplomats and world leaders. President Donald Trump announced the plan on Monday in a White House event alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The 20-point plan begins with the plan for Gaza in the days following the war and ends with the hope for future Israeli-Palestinian relations.
“Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough,” the first two points of the plan state.
“The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence,” the plan concludes.
In between are 17 points largely outlining the steps to begin transitioning Gaza from a warzone to a self-governing entity, starting with a ceasefire once both Hamas and Israel agree to the framework. Once both sides agree, aid will begin to flow into the strip, including rebuilding hospitals, bakeries, roads, and other key pieces of infrastructure.
The Israeli military will cease its advance through Gaza City and withdraw to a predetermined line while Hamas must return all hostages, living and dead, to Israel within 72 hours. In return, Israel “will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans,” the proposal says.
The hostage exchange, while massively biased in favor of Hamas and Gaza, is not out of step with past prisoner swaps Israel has struck with Palestinians.

Members of Hamas who agree to disarm and commit to “peaceful co-existence” will be given amnesty and may live in Gaza, or they will be given safe passage elsewhere.
Under the ceasefire agreement, Gaza will be administered by “qualified Palestinians and international experts” under oversight from the “Board of Peace,” an international body chaired by the United States president.
“No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza,” point 12 states.
No terror group may be involved in administering Gaza. All of Hamas’ terror infrastructure, including its vast web of tunnels and weapons facilities, will be destroyed alongside the military sites of all other terror groups operating within the Gaza Strip. Israel will agree to neither occupy nor annex Gaza.
“New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people,” the framework says. Toward that end, an “interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.”

What’s In Trump’s 20-Point Plan For ‘Eternal Peace In The Middle East’

YouTube reportedly agreed to a $24.5 million settlement over a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump over the suspension of his account in 2021.
The vast majority of YouTube’s settlement will be directed toward funding construction of a new White House ballroom that Trump is building. Court documents say that $22 million will be given to the Trust for the National Mall, which is “dedicated to restoring, preserving, and elevating the National Mall, to support the construction of the White House State Ballroom,” according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/business/youtube-settle-trump-lawsuit">CNN</a>.
The remaining settlement money, $2.5 million, will go toward other plaintiffs on the case, such as the American Conservative Union, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/youtube-to-pay-24-5-million-to-settle-lawsuit-brought-by-trump-808f6823?st=Q98zA5&amp;reflink=article_copyURL_share">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
YouTube, owned by Alphabet&#8217;s Google, suspended the president’s account after the events of January 6, 2021, claiming that Trump, then in the final days of his first term, had violated the platform’s rules regarding incitement to violence. YouTube reinstated Trump’s account two years later and is the final big tech company to settle a lawsuit from the president over a slate of social media bans.
Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, settled a lawsuit with Trump for $25 million in January. Most of Meta’s settlement funds were directed toward Trump’s presidential library to be built in Miami, Florida. X, formerly Twitter before Trump ally Elon Musk took over the platform in 2022, settled a lawsuit with the president in February for $10 million.

X reinstated Trump’s account in 2022 soon after Musk took over the social media platform. Meta waited longer, reinstating the president’s accounts in February 2023.
All three cases against the big tech platforms were pursued by Trump attorney John Coale. Coale attributed the settlement victories to Trump&#8217;s election to the White House for a second term.
“If he had not been re-elected, we would have been in court for 1,000 years,” Coale said, according to WSJ. “It was his re-election that made the difference.”
Trump has forged ties with Silicon Valley executives over the course of his third run for president and his second term in the White House. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai joined Musk in choice seats to witness Trump’s second inauguration.

Trump Scores $22M Payout After YouTube Settles Lawsuit Over Account Suspension

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a U.S.-backed plan to end the war in Gaza and establish “a credible pathway” to a Palestinian state.
The White House rolled out the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whats-in-trumps-20-point-plan-for-eternal-peace-in-the-middle-east">plan</a> shortly before President Donald Trump appeared with Netanyahu for a joint press conference at the White House. Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxcsZrcYuM8">announced</a> that Israel had agreed to the 20-point framework, which the president said would deliver &#8220;peace in the Middle East,&#8221; during his opening remarks.
“Today is a historic day for peace, and Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have just concluded an important meeting on many vital issues, including Iran, trade, expansion of the Abraham Accords, and, most importantly, we discussed how to end the war in Gaza,” Trump said. “I also want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for agreeing to the plan and for trusting that if we work together, we can bring an end to the death and destruction that we’ve seen for so many years.”
Trump said a number of Arab nations have also agreed to the outline, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, and others.

“Under the plan, Arab and Muslim countries have committed … to demilitarize Gaza – and that’s quickly – decommission the military capabilities of Hamas and all other terror organizations – do that immediately – and we’re relying on the countries that I named and others to deal with Hamas. And I’m hearing that Hamas wants this done, too,” the president continued.
Hamas is the only party yet to accept the deal, according to the president. If Hamas rejects the proposal, Israel would receive the “full backing” of the United States to continue the war in Gaza.
“If Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible – they’re the only one left, everyone else has accepted it – but I have a feeling we’re going to have a positive answer. But if not, you know, Bibi, you’d have our full backing to do what you have to do,” said Trump.
Netanyahu made objections to a Palestinian state, Trump said, citing the October 7 terror attack in which an estimated 3,000 Hamas fighters and thousands of Gazans flooded across the border into Israel and murdered, raped, and kidnapped hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers. In remarks after Trump, Netanyahu praised the framework.
“I believe that today, we are taking a critical step toward both ending the war in Gaza, and setting the stage for dramatically advancing peace in the Middle East,” said Netanyahu.
If implemented correctly, the U.S.-backed proposal will accomplish all of Israel’s war aims, including the return of all hostages – those dead and those still alive – to Israel, complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, and the destruction of Hamas as an organization.
“If Hamas rejects your plan, Mr. President, or if they supposedly accept it, and then, basically, do everything to counter it, then Israel will finish the job by itself. This can be done the easy way, or it can be done the hard way. But it will be done,” the prime minister said.

Israel Agrees To U.S. Plan For ‘Eternal Peace In The Middle East’ At White House

At least four victims have died, and multiple people are injured after a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, according to police.
The shooter &#8220;drove his vehicle through the front doors of the church&#8221; before opening fire, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/church-shooting-fire-michigan-09-28-25">according</a> to Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye. The suspect was later killed in a firefight with police, bringing the <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1972453438677193099">total</a> dead to at least five.
The current status of the injured victims is unknown. The church fire was likely started by the shooter, according to Police Chief Renye.

President Donald Trump released a statement on the shooting and fire, saying that he has &#8220;been briefed,&#8221; and to &#8220;pray for the victims and their families.&#8221;
Police have identified the shooter as a 40-year-old man from Burton, Michigan. The shooter was a U.S. Marines veteran who served in Iraq from 2004 to 2008, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/28/us-news/iraq-war-veteran-thomas-sanford-idd-as-gunman-who-attacked-grand-blanc-lds-church-killing-2-and-setting-it-ablaze/">New York Post</a>.
In the attack, the shooter ran his truck, a Chevrolet Silverado, into the church before opening fire on congregants with a semiautomatic rifle. He also set fire to the church. The blaze soon enveloped most of the building.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a <a href="https://x.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1972332977641451994">post</a> on X that FBI agents are responding to the shooting “to provide any requested support necessary.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi <a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/1972332612929634470">posted</a> that she is receiving briefings “about what appears to be a horrific shooting and fire at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan.” She also noted that federal agents with the FBI and ATF are responding.
“Such violence at a place of worship is heartbreaking and chilling. Please join me in praying for the victims of this terrible tragedy,” said Bondi.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer <a href="https://x.com/govwhitmer/status/1972333355380384170?s=46&amp;t=N2CGTmIA8Rg3XdjDvmfCjw">responded</a> to news of the shooting on X: “My heart is breaking for the Grand Blanc community. Violence anywhere, especially in a place of worship, is unacceptable. I am grateful to the first responders who took action quickly. We will continue to monitor this situation and hold the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints in Grand Blanc close.”

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, President Trump has authorized "full force" against leftist terrorists. But so far we haven't seen full force, or really any force at all. Also, another mass shooting at a house of worship. This time a mormon church was the target. And last week we talked about Dearborn, which has turned into an Islamic capital right in the middle of the American heartland. My comments on this subject have gotten a lot of pushback.

Ep. 1664 - A Real Insurrection Is Happening And It Needs To Be Stopped [Member Exclusive]

What if I told you witches are being hired, abortion is being openly branded as satanic sacrifice, and kids are being targeted with After School Satan Clubs?

After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, it’s becoming increasingly clear we’re fighting battles of good versus evil in the midst of spiritual warfare that has raged on since the beginning of time.

This isn’t fantasy. These are headlines from Jezebel, Daily Mail, and even commercials from abortion clinics. On today’s episode of The Isabel Brown Show, we’re unpacking:

- How Catholic teaching explains demonic influence (temptation, oppression, possession).

- Why abortion is more than “a procedure” — it’s a spiritual war.

- The real weapons Christians have: the sacraments, prayer, and the armor of God (Ephesians 6).

- Why St. Michael the Archangel matters more today than ever.

PLUS - we’re joined by Matt Fradd, host of Pints with Aquinas, to hear his advice for how we combat the forces of evil in our own lives.
Christ has already triumphed over Satan (Hebrews 2:14–15), but until His final victory, we are called to resist the devil and protect our souls, families, and culture.

Stick around for the powerful Prayer to St. Michael and the Lord’s Prayer at the end of today’s show.
