The Israeli military said Wednesday that one of the four bodies Hamas returned to Israel on Tuesday night was not a hostage.
The Israel Defense Forces said three of the bodies were those of hostages taken by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, but the fourth &#8220;does not match any of the hostages.&#8221; The military did not say whether the fourth body had been identified.
“Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages,” the IDF posted on X. 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s office called for Hamas to return the remaining bodies. 
“The Hamas terrorist organization is required to uphold its commitments to the mediators and return them as part of the implementation of the agreement. We will not compromise on this and will spare no effort until we return all of the fallen hostages, every last one of them,” his office said. 
The other three bodies were identified as Tamir Nimrodi, Uriel Baruch, and Eitan Levi. 
“SSGT Tamir Nimrodi was kidnapped alive and was killed while in captivity at the age of 18. Uriel Baruch was killed during the Oct. 7 Massacre and his body was kidnapped into Gaza. Eitan Levi was killed during the Oct. 7 Massacre and his body was kidnapped into Gaza. May their memories be a blessing,” the IDF said on X.
Netanyahu said the three bodies returned — and all deceased hostages — would be given proper burials in Israel.
“The Government of Israel shares in the deep sorrow of the Baruch, Nimrodi, and Levi families, and all the families of the fallen hostages,” he said. “The Government and the entire establishment for the missing and the captives of the State of Israel are determined, committed, and working tirelessly to return all of our fallen hostages for proper burial in their country.”
In response to Hamas’s handling of the hostage release, Israel told the United Nations it would reduce the number of daily aid trucks entering Gaza from 600 to 300, Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/no-aid-scale-up-yet-gaza-aid-agencies-say-2025-10-14/">reported</a>. It’s unclear when or if the change will take effect.
&#8220;Hamas violated the agreement regarding the release of the bodies of the hostages held in the Gaza Strip. As a result, the political leadership has decided to impose a number of sanctions related to the humanitarian agreement that was reached,&#8221; the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), an Israeli Ministry of Defense unit, wrote.

On Monday, the final 20 living hostages were released by Hamas in exchange for hundreds of prisoners released by Israel under the terms of a ceasefire. The exchange was the first part of an agreement between Israel and Hamas negotiated by President Donald Trump. 
Part of the plan includes Hamas agreeing to disarm and give up control over Gaza. After Israel pulled back troops in accordance with the agreement, Hamas publicly executed at least seven men in Gaza accused of working with Israeli forces.

Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid said on Monday that Israel cannot — and should not — root out every member of the terrorist group Hamas as it begins to implement the provisions of the peace deal brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Hamid was speaking with CNN anchor Brianna Keilar about the still-unfolding situation in Gaza when he argued that Israel should offer amnesty to &#8220;low-level&#8221; members of Hamas who have agreed to lay down their weapons — and those &#8220;who were not implicated in October 7.&#8221;

&#8220;How do you disarm Hamas – that is not quite clear how that&#8217;s to be worked out,&#8221; he began. &#8220;But also it&#8217;s good that in the 20-point plan there is a path for Hamas who commit to peaceful coexistence and give up their arms to get amnesty or to get safe passage out of Gaza, because at the end of the day, there are still going to be – there still will be a significant Hamas presence, so you can&#8217;t just pretend they don&#8217;t exist. And you can&#8217;t eradicate every single member of Hamas, nor should you, that would just be — that didn&#8217;t even happen, not that I like this comparison too much —&#8221;
&#8220;You say &#8216;nor should you,'&#8221; Keilar appeared to be taken aback. &#8220;Your case for that is what?&#8221;
&#8220;I mean you can&#8217;t — you shouldn&#8217;t kill, like, low-level members of Hamas, people who were not implicated in October 7th,&#8221; Hamid asserted. &#8220;October 7th was done by a small group of senior military commanders — Israel should have the right to kill them, and has killed many of them if not most of them, right? So — but Hamas is a popular movement and there has to be some way to bring in the low-level members into the political process because you don&#8217;t want them to play spoiler.&#8221;
&#8220;If they feel like they have no path forward, if they feel — you don&#8217;t want them to go back to arms again or to find ways to kind of undermine the path toward a kind of peaceful settlement,&#8221; he continued, comparing Hamas to the Nazis in post-war Germany. &#8220;And even if you take the example of denazification, low- and mid-level members of the Nazi Party were reintegrated into German society. It&#8217;s not as if everyone was imprisoned or executed, because you can&#8217;t do that at such a large scale. If you&#8217;re talking about a movement that has tens of thousands of people and many more sympathizers, you have to find a way to bring people into the process and integrate them.&#8221;
The peace deal currently being implemented stops short of forcing Hamas out altogether despite Israel&#8217;s repeated insistence that Hamas cannot be allowed to govern in Gaza.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Hamas terrorists would lay down their weapons, or the United States would &#8220;disarm them.&#8221;
Speaking to reporters during a roundtable with Argentinian President Javier Milei at the White House, Trump said that Hamas has already promised to disarm, which was a major demand in the president&#8217;s 20-point peace plan.
&#8220;They&#8217;re going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;And if they don&#8217;t disarm, we will disarm them.&#8221;
&#8220;How will you do that?&#8221; a reporter asked.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t have to explain that to you, but if they don&#8217;t disarm, we will disarm them,&#8221; Trump reiterated. &#8220;They know I&#8217;m not playing games.&#8221;

Trump successfully pressured Hamas to agree to a ceasefire and hostage deal with Israel, the first phase of his broader plan for peace in the region. The first phase of the deal did not require Hamas to lay down its weapons, but the president is confident it will happen in the future.

Vice President JD Vance <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jd-vance-there-will-be-no-u-s-boots-on-the-ground-in-israel-gaza">said</a> earlier this week that U.S. troops in the region would monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but added that there would be no American “boots on the ground” in Gaza or Israel.
Trump said during his speech at the Knesset on Monday that the deal will start “the golden age of Israel and the golden age of the Middle East.” Hamas handed over the 20 remaining living hostages to Israel on Monday, and in exchange, Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including hundreds of terrorists. Under the ceasefire agreement, Israeli troops also withdrew from many areas in the Gaza Strip, moving back to an agreed-upon line near the Israeli border.
After the terms of the agreement took effect, Hamas terrorists moved to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/terror-reigns-hamas-publicly-executes-gazans-after-israeli-troop-pullback?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=TERROR+REIGNS%3A+Hamas+Publicly+Executes+Gazans+After+Israeli+Troop+Pullback">reassert control</a> over the Gaza Strip.

Hamas has also been fighting rival groups in Gaza this week, with dozens of people being killed in skirmishes.

Trump: Hamas ‘Will Disarm’ Or ‘We Will Disarm Them’

Eric Trump joked about how far his father has come in just the last year, noting that one year ago — while on the campaign trail — he&#8217;d been serving up french fries at a McDonald&#8217;s drive-through.
Trump joined Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren on Monday, just hours after a peace deal brokered by his father had resulted in the release of the last 20 Israeli hostages who had been held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists since their abduction on October 7, 2023.

NBC international correspondent Daniele Hamamdjian went all in on the anti-Israel propaganda as she covered the still-unfolding peace deal between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Hamamdjian claimed — during a segment that ran around 1:30 a.m. ET — that Palestinians were at least able to return to &#8220;their land,&#8221; land she said they had &#8220;fought for — for — for decades.&#8221; She also referred to Palestinian prisoners — some of whom she described as convicted murderers and violent criminals — as &#8220;hostages&#8221; held by Israel.

&#8220;They have nothing to go back to, but they have their land. And for Palestinians, boy, that is what they have fought for — for — for decades,&#8221; she continued, and she went on to describe the situation outside Ofer prison, where a number of Palestinian prisoners were set to be released as part of the peace deal brokered by President Donald Trump.

&#8220;As part of this hostages for prisoners exchange, we will see 2,000 Palestinians released from prison. Who are they? Let&#8217;s start with right here, 250 security prisoners, convicted murderers serving multiple life sentences,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Some of them will be sent to Gaza. Some of them will be deported to third countries. Some of them will go to East Jerusalem.&#8221;
&#8220;Now, we&#8217;ve seen family members of those hostages trickle in to the city of Bethania, which is where I am, and they don&#8217;t know how long it&#8217;s going to take,&#8221; she said, referring to the prisoners as &#8220;hostages.&#8221;
&#8220;In the past, it&#8217;s taken in some cases hours. And they were released in the middle of the night. In some cases, it&#8217;s happened quite quickly. So it might be a very long day here,&#8221; she explained before pivoting back to attack Israel for holding some of the prisoners.
&#8220;But over to Gaza, 1,700 Palestinians detained in Gaza will be released. They are in some cases minors, doctors, nurses, journalists who have never been charged. It&#8217;s really important for people to remember that they&#8217;ve been held under what&#8217;s called administrative detention. It&#8217;s a controversial practice that allows Israel to detain people for an indefinite period of time without charging them,&#8221; she said. &#8220;These people do not know why they have been detained and so, in the eyes of many Palestinians, you ask them, they consider those people held without charge also as hostages. And Palestinian officials will tell you that they believe Israel has been arresting them, arresting as many as they can to gather to amass as many bargaining chips as possible for these negotiations.&#8221;

Propaganda

Hamas publicly executed at least seven men on Monday as the terror group moves to reassert control over the Gaza Strip after the ceasefire agreement with Israel.
The men, whom Hamas accused of working with Israeli forces, were bound, dragged in front of a crowd of people, and forced to their knees, according to a video that was verified by <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-fighters-tighten-grip-gaza-clouding-future-ceasefire-2025-10-14/">Reuters</a> and the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cvg02zp7j2rt?post=asset%3A6951fa1b-1a5f-41f8-86a7-354681367720#post">BBC</a>. Hamas fighters then shot each man in the back of the head. The terror group said that the men were “criminals and collaborators with Israel,&#8221; the BBC reported.
Since the ceasefire and hostage deal with Israel, Hamas has been fighting rival groups in the Gaza Strip, seeking to reestablish dominance over Gazans. Dozens of people have been killed in skirmishes between Hamas and rival groups this week, Reuters reported.
Following the Trump-brokered deal, Israeli forces partially withdrew from the Gaza Strip, moving back to an agreed-upon line near the Israeli border. The hostage deal was only the first phase of Trump&#8217;s 20-point peace plan for the region, and it does not require Hamas to disarm — a vital piece of Trump&#8217;s broader goal.
On Monday, the terror group stood by its agreement to hand over the remaining 20 living hostages to Israel, but it failed to locate and hand over the remains of all the deceased hostages. Israel received the bodies of just four of the 28 hostages who died in Hamas captivity, leading to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israel-hamas-trade-accusations-of-cease-fire-violations-dd543773?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAg5MecCDo9DtEx2H9iUEXSgmZN1sWVtq1IY5veKyKYB7NZ90h0sYvvBiWZv1oI%3D&amp;gaa_ts=68ee580b&amp;gaa_sig=9jS1zQX9QAPunyfGT5y4YQopkyohbG4yL7J7foLewnhvt8Q7KEusCFu2VWrrHeu-7ElWStJ9mJmihSEhGpEVmA%3D%3D">accusations</a> that the terror group is already failing to abide by the terms set out in the ceasefire agreement. In return for the hostages, Israel agreed to release nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including hundreds of terrorists.

Hamas also accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement after Israeli troops fired upon Palestinians on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces said that troops warned a group of people to turn back as they approached them in northern Gaza.
&#8220;After multiple attempts to distance them, the suspects refused to comply, prompting troops to open fire to remove the threat. Reports of terrorists infiltrating an IDF position are incorrect,&#8221; the IDF <a href="https://x.com/IDF/status/1978018729649643600">said</a>. &#8220;The IDF urges Gaza residents to follow instructions and keep their distance from IDF troops.&#8221;
President Trump spoke at the Knesset and then traveled to Egypt to meet with Arab leaders and tout the peace efforts in the Middle East. During his speech at the Knesset, Trump said that the agreement marks the beginning of &#8220;the golden age of Israel and the golden age of the Middle East.”
“This is not only the end of a war — it is the end of an age of terror and death, and the beginning of the age of faith, and hope, and of God,” he added. “This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”

TERROR REIGNS: Hamas Publicly Executes Gazans After Israeli Troop Pullback

Terrorists

The next stages of a fragile peace plan are coming together, though many questions remain, after President Donald Trump&#8217;s historic trip to the Middle East.
Trump closed his whirlwind tour of the Middle East with a speech attended by dozens of world leaders in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. After the initial phase of his plan for peace in Gaza secured the release of the last 20 living hostages from Hamas, Trump in his Egypt speech declared that “now the rebuilding begins.”
The president stated throughout his trip that the “war is over,” but many details remain unsettled while a tenuous ceasefire holds between Israel and Hamas. The region must solve pressing questions before anything resembling Palestinian self-determination can be hoped for.
Under the Trump peace plan, the Gaza enclave is to be administered by a mix of Palestinian and international technocrats led by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Their work would be overseen by a board chaired by Trump.
But the Palestinians who join the administration of Gaza must be committed to peace, and Hamas can have no part in it, which the terror group has not committed to. Neither has Hamas committed to completely disarming. On the contrary, the terror group has reportedly started <a href="https://x.com/SpencerGuard/status/1977839282309201934">conducting</a> public executions since the Israel Defense Forces pulled back from Gaza’s interior.

Regardless of Hamas’ actions, the prerequisite for Israel to sanction Palestinian self-determination has been firm: Gaza can no longer represent any meaningful threat to the Jewish state or its citizens.
Trump championed the efforts to rebuild Gaza that have already begun, starting with aid flowing into the area.
“Humanitarian aid is now pouring in, including hundreds of truckloads of food, medical equipment, and other supplies – much of it paid for by people in this room,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1977782201170239858">said</a> in Sharm El-Sheikh.
The aid is needed and necessary to begin alleviating the worst conditions in Gaza, but the project of rebuilding the strip will likely take decades of work and investment. For much of that support, the president has turned to Arab and Muslim leaders in the region.
“Numerous countries of great wealth and power and dignity have come forward to me just today and over the last week to say they want to help in the reconstruction of Gaza, putting up whatever money is necessary,” the president <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1977788279161295134">said</a>. “Of course, it’s a lot of money, but it&#8217;s not much compared to the value of the wealth of these tremendous countries, and they are ensuring stability and success in the Middle East.”
Security in Gaza will likely be led by an international force mostly supplied from Arab and Muslim countries. Indonesia has <a href="https://www.jpost.com/international/article-868438">committed</a> to sending 20,000 troops to Gaza to act as a security force. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said that Cairo was ready to commit forces as well, as long as the mission for such a force was made clear by the UN Security Council.
“We are in the process now, as we speak, [of] providing training and coordination with Jordan to train up to 5,000 Palestinians to be deployed in Gaza,” Abdelatty <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jd-vance-there-will-be-no-u-s-boots-on-the-ground-in-israel-gaza">said</a> on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” on Sunday. “Deployment of international forces is on the table.”

Trump Freed The Hostages And Secured A Ceasefire. Here’s What’s Next For Gaza.

World

Unless you spend time in Israel, you can&#8217;t really understand the intensity of the feeling around the hostages taken by Hamas.
I think that most other countries look at this sort of situation and think, “Okay, you have a terrorist group that took hostages. Are you really willing to go house to house for two years instead of just bombing the place in order to get those hostages out? Are you really willing to sacrifice hundreds of soldiers in order to protect hostages and try to save those hostages?”
The answer in Israel is yes. 
And this has been the scimitar hanging over the head of the Israelis. 
Since the very beginning of the war, Israel has had to stop and start the war half a dozen times. Israel has had to take measures that no sane country would have to take in order to try and ensure the safety of its hostages. Israel has had to move slowly and meticulously and risk the hatred of the world in order for those hostages to get out. 
Somehow, the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, along with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was able to put together a deal in which the 20 living hostages came out all at once on Monday morning.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2296-member-exclusive"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-981859 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner.avif" alt="" width="1024" height="171" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner.avif 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner-300x50.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner-768x128.jpg 768w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>
They were able to do that without allowing Hamas to fully reconstitute, while Israel is still present in 53% of the Gaza Strip.  Right now, the situation on the ground in Gaza is that Hamas is having firefights with a bunch of local militia groups over who is going to control Gaza next.
In the end, there will have to be some sort of heavy hand put on the remnants of Hamas, whether that happens from an international group in the way President Trump has discussed, or whether it happens via the IDF. We don&#8217;t know the answer to that yet.
 But what we do know is that Israel&#8217;s long national nightmare with regard to these hostages is now effectively over, because all 20 of them came out on Monday.
That is an extraordinary credit to President Trump and his team. And it catalyzed unbridled joy felt by all Israelis and Jews and good-hearted people everywhere — including the President of the United States —  over the return of the hostages. The Israelis thanked President Trump as he deserves to be thanked, putting out a gigantic display on the beach in Tel Aviv so President Trump would see it as Air Force One was flying into Ben-Gurion Airport.
In my synagogue, we have been saying a special prayer for the hostages every single day since the beginning of the war. It&#8217;s why you see all these yellow ribbons everywhere in Israel.
 When Jared Kushner thanked President Trump in Tel Aviv, the crowd went nuts. In Israel, the Trump administration has a 97% approval rating. There is no one in Israel — with very rare exceptions, typically from the radical Arab parties — that does not love President Trump.
Israelis have an overwhelming love for Donald Trump. It&#8217;s extraordinary. There were scores of standing ovations for President Trump in the Israeli parliament today. Even the leftists in Israel who don&#8217;t like President Trump love President Trump today.
When the Israel-Hamas war began, Israel was not just threatened from the Gaza Strip, where 1,200 Jews were murdered and roughly 250 were taken hostage into the Gaza Strip; Israel was threatened on its northern border by Hezbollah in Lebanon, a massively powerful terrorist group funded by Iran, run by Hassan Nasrallah. Syria was an ally of Hezbollah. Iran was threatening nuclear development. There was terrorism brewing in Judea and Samaria, the so-called West Bank.
But by the end of this war, Israel stands in a strong military posture with regard to the Gaza Strip, having completely destroyed every member of the upper echelon of Hamas. They killed Hassan Nasrallah and destroyed Hezbollah&#8217;s rocket capacity with an extraordinarily creative military action, including that famous beeper attack. They hit so hard that the Assad regime fell, thanks to the predations of Turkey pushing into power in Syria. And then Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, which involved the attacks on the Iranian nuclear facilities, capped off by President Trump&#8217;s attacks with B-2 bombers.

It&#8217;s been an astonishing turnabout. Without that happening, the hostages don&#8217;t come out because Hamas would have had that support level. By the way, the hostages probably don&#8217;t come out unless Israel also tries to take out the Hamas leadership in Qatar, sending the signals to Qatar that either they start to play ball or things might start happening in their country as well.
Whatever the rationale, the hostages coming home is an extraordinarily historic moment, a truly historic moment.
 President Trump has now transformed the region into a place where a lasting peace could be on the way, beginning with the Abraham Accords in his first term. And now, thanks to the penetration of Hamas, the complete hammering of Hezbollah, the killing of its leadership, and the destruction or massive setbacks to the Iranian nuclear facilities. 
In a truly moving and introspective moment, President Trump said, “I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s anything going to get me in heaven. I think I&#8217;m not maybe heaven-bound. … I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;m going to be able to make heaven, but I&#8217;ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.”
President Trump wants to be someone who does good for people. With all of the riffing and the comedy that he does, in the end, he wants to be thought of as someone who did good for people. 
And he does. He does it continually. 
That is why he is a unique force.
And all of Israel sees him for the hero that he is.

Triumph: Trump Frees Hostages, Electrifies Knesset

Knesset

Peace Deal

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro was in the room for President Donald Trump&#8217;s historic speech at the Knesset on Monday, and said the excitement for the U.S. president was &#8220;truly off the charts.&#8221;
Before Trump got up to speak, Israeli leaders — from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to opposition leader Yair Lapid — praised the president for his work in achieving a ceasefire and getting the hostages home. When Trump was first introduced at the Knesset, he received a standing ovation as members broke out into chants of &#8220;Trump! Trump! Trump!&#8221;
Shapiro said that Trump is universally beloved in Israel, adding, &#8220;There is no one in Israel, with very rare exceptions, typically from the radical Arab parties, that does not love President Trump.&#8221;
&#8220;Truly, it&#8217;s an astonishing thing. I happened to be in the Knesset for President Trump&#8217;s speech,&#8221; he said during Monday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2296-member-exclusive?elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+Show+Episodes+Carousel">The Ben Shapiro Show</a>,&#8221; which he recorded shortly after Trump spoke at the Knesset. &#8220;I was there, and let me tell you, the unbridled, overwhelming love that Israelis have for Donald J. Trump. It&#8217;s extraordinary, truly extraordinary.&#8221;
Israelis celebrated in the streets on Monday as the 20 remaining living hostages returned to the country thanks to the peace deal President Trump brokered between Israel and Hamas.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!</a> 
&#8220;This president of the United States, he won&#8217;t just go down in Jewish history, obviously, he&#8217;ll go down in American history, and in world history for the work that he&#8217;s done in the Middle East,&#8221; the Daily Wire host continued.
During his speech, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-lays-out-golden-age-of-peace-in-major-israel-speech?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Trump+Lays+Out+%E2%80%98Golden+Age%E2%80%99+Of+Peace+In+Major+Israel+Speech">said</a> that this day would be remembered throughout history and would be the beginning of &#8220;the golden age of Israel and the golden age of the Middle East.&#8221;
“This is not only the end of a war — it is the end of an age of terror and death, and the beginning of the age of faith, and hope, and of God,” he added. “This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”
Shapiro said that Trump&#8217;s speech was &#8220;hilariously funny&#8221; at times. &#8220;He talked about General &#8216;Razin&#8217; Caine and ISIS, he talked about Steve Witkoff&#8217;s negotiations with Russia. He made fun of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and all the rest.&#8221;
But Shapiro said that Trump&#8217;s speech was also &#8220;triumphal&#8221; and &#8220;serious.&#8221;
&#8220;President Trump said that there are two messages that America understands when it comes to Israel: never forget and never again,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;And the president also laid out what comes next. And that is not just the return of hostages, but a fully disarmed Hamas and a demilitarized Gaza. How that happens is still up in the air, and phase one has been solved, but if the president does what he&#8217;s pledged to do and applies pressure to all of the erstwhile Arab allies and Muslim allies of Hamas, then Hamas will have very few choices left.&#8221;

President Donald Trump on Monday signed the historic Gaza peace deal, surrounded by approving world leaders, who celebrated the president as a pivotal peacemaker and called for him to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

</div>
</div>
The president met with hostages and their families on Monday after the hostages were released by Hamas, then spoke to the world in public remarks in Israel. He then traveled to Egypt, where he participated in a Middle East peace summit with other world leaders. The United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey signed the much-discussed peace deal before the world.
&#8220;It took 3,000 years to get to this point. Can you believe it?&#8221; Trump said as he signed the historic deal. &#8220;And it&#8217;s going to hold up, too.&#8221;
He also received the &#8220;Order of the Nile&#8221; from the President of Egypt, the country&#8217;s highest state honor, for negotiating the deal between Israel and Hamas. The Order of the Nile is a collar made of solid gold covered in Pharaonic engravings, <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/egypt-awards-trump-order-nile-gaza-peace-efforts">according to the New Arab</a>. It represents wealth and endurance, protection from evil, and prosperity brought by the Nile.
&#8220;Today, for the first time anyone can remember, we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to put the old feuds and bitter hatreds behind us,&#8221; Trump said, as he took the podium after signing the deal. &#8220;If we do, together, we will reach the Middle East’s incredible destiny—a safe, and prosperous, and beautiful crossroads of culture and commerce, faith and humanity.&#8221;

&#8220;The momentous breakthrough that we&#8217;re here to celebrate tonight is more than the end of the war in Gaza,&#8221; the president reflected. &#8220;With God’s help, it will be a new beginning for an entire, beautiful, Middle East. From this moment forward, we can build a region that&#8217;s strong, and stable, and prosperous, and united in rejecting the path of terror once and for all.&#8221;
He also shared that there will be &#8220;a lot of money coming into Gaza&#8221; that will be used to help rebuild the region.
&#8220;I&#8217;m pleased to announce that numerous countries of great wealth and power and dignity have come forward to me just today and over the last week to say they want to help in the reconstruction of Gaza, putting up whatever money is necessary,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;And the money, of course, it&#8217;s a lot of money but it&#8217;s not much compared to the value or the wealth of these tremendous countries. And they are ensuring stability and success in the Middle East.&#8221;
&#8220;Rebuilding is maybe going to be the easiest part,&#8221; noted Trump, adding: &#8220;We know how to build better than anybody in the world.&#8221;
He acknowledged that across the Middle East, but particularly in Gaza and Israel, people have been &#8220;working, striving, hoping,&#8221; and praying for peace.
That day has finally arrived, the president said.
&#8220;They have done things over the last month that I think were really unthinkable,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Nobody thought this could happen. With the historic agreement we&#8217;ve just signed, those prayers of millions have finally been answered.&#8221;
As he reflected on the footage of the hostages finally reuniting with their families, Trump said that the &#8220;level of love&#8221; they are showing one another &#8220;is just incredible.&#8221;
&#8220;A new and beautiful day is rising,&#8221; Trump told the world. &#8220;And now, the rebuilding begins.&#8221;

World Leaders Laud Trump As Peacemaker As He Rallies Nations Behind Israel, Hamas Deal

Egypt

The wife of New York&#8217;s socialist mayor hopeful Zohran Mamdani is mourning one of the most prominent Palestinian influencers, who openly celebrated Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre of more than 1,200 people in Israel and has been the tip of the spear on Hamas propaganda efforts.
Saleh al-Jafarawi, popularly known as “Mr. FAFO,” was killed over the weekend in the fighting between Hamas and other Palestinian clans, as confirmed by Hamas&#8217;s Al-Aqsa TV.
Al-Jafarawi gained attention after posting a video following the October 7 attacks in which he praised Hamas’s rocket fire. Shortly after, he recorded another video crying in fear during Israeli airstrikes, earning him the nickname “Mr. FAFO.” Among other allegations, Al-Jafarawi was <a href="https://x.com/afalkhatib/status/1977428544901845384" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> of raising $10 million to build a children&#8217;s hospital but keeping the funds.
Mamdani&#8217;s wife, Rama Duwaji, posted a tribute to him on her Instagram with broken hearts and calling him &#8220;beloved.&#8221;

Mamdani, who ran in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ZohranKMamdani/posts/this-morning-i-ran-the-nyc-gaza-5k-in-prospect-park-for-the-third-time-to-raise-/1202155905056559/">Gaza 5k</a> yesterday and has endorsed anti-Israel rhetoric for years, released a statement on the second anniversary of the Hamas October 7 massacre by briefly saying Hamas had “carried out a horrific war crime,” but then escalated his rhetoric by continuing at length about Israel’s supposed genocide, writing:
<blockquote>
In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: a death toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered.
</blockquote>
Then he attacked the Trump administration, saying savagely, “Our government has been complicit through it all.”

In June, Mamdani was pressed three times to condemn the phrase &#8220;globalize the intifada&#8221; during an appearance on NBC’s &#8220;Meet the Press,&#8221; and each time he refused to do so. Mamdani backpedaled in July, telling a group of executives that he would &#8220;discourage&#8221; the use of the phrase, but still refused to condemn it outright, saying, “I don’t believe that the role of the mayor is to police speech.”

“The escalation between Hamas and the Doghmush clan reportedly began when members of the clan ambushed several Hamas operatives near the Jordanian Hospital in Gaza City this past Friday, shortly after a ceasefire went into effect,” the Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-870266">reported.</a> “Reports also emerged of summary executions carried out by Hamas against members of the Doghmush clan in Sabra, including claims that children from the clan were also targeted by gunfire.”

Mamdani’s Wife Mourns Hamas Operative ‘Mr. FAFO,’ Killed By Fellow Palestinians

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken attempted to credit his boss, former President Joe Biden, with laying the framework for President Donald Trump&#8217;s historic deal in Gaza — the deal that has so far secured the release of all remaining living hostages and will, if followed, end the war between Israel and the terror group Hamas.
Blinken, who was serving as the nation&#8217;s top diplomat when Hamas militants breached the Israeli border and slaughtered more than 1,200 men, women, and children on October 7, 2023, was part of the initial efforts to reach a ceasefire and the return of some 250 hostages who were also abducted on that day. And while he did give President Trump nominal credit for getting an agreement across the finish line, he made it clear that he believed Biden deserved praise for taking the first steps in that direction.
&#8220;In Gaza today, the guns are largely silent. If all goes as planned, the remaining Israeli hostages will return home. Palestinians will get the relief they desperately need and deserve. Nothing can erase the pain and loss of the past two years. But there is real hope of building on this step to finally end the war,&#8221; Blinken began a series of posts on X. &#8220;President Trump and his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner deserve our collective thanks for producing this ceasefire and the renewed possibility of lasting peace.&#8221;

(2/12) First, what changed to make this breakthrough possible? Hamas is finally and fully isolated. Arab states and Turkey have said “enough.” The misery Hamas provoked and would allow to persist has delegitimized it among most Gazans. And Hamas realized that the cavalry (Iran,…

He then laid out the reasons he believed the deal had finally come to fruition — beginning with the fact that Hamas had been &#8220;finally and fully isolated&#8221; but failing to acknowledge the Trump administration&#8217;s active role in enforcing that isolation. He also noted that Hamas had learned the &#8220;cavalry&#8221; – meaning Hezbollah, the Houthis, and even Iran — would not come to their aid in Gaza, but again omitted the fact that Trump had put pressure on Iran to ensure exactly that outcome.

&#8220;In the coming days we can expect to see joyful images: of hostages reunited with their loved ones and the people of Gaza getting respite from the war and receiving the help they need,&#8221; Blinken continued, flashing back to the Biden administration and the early ceasefire-for-hostages deals. &#8220;We’ve seen these images before. Under President Biden’s watch, we secured the release of 135 hostages and, in January 2025 we handed over a ceasefire with Israeli forces pulling back, tens of thousands of aid trucks going into Gaza and a post conflict plan for a permanent end to hostilities.&#8221;
The real question going forward, Blinken said, was simple: &#8220;How can we build a lasting peace?&#8221; He then claimed that the Biden administration had developed the plan for Gaza, and that Trump had simply &#8220;adopted and built on&#8221; that.
&#8220;It starts with a clear and comprehensive post conflict plan for Gaza. It’s good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden Administration developed after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian Authority,&#8221; Blinken said.
Trump was neither convinced nor impressed by Blinken&#8217;s claims, and said so to reporters aboard Air Force One. &#8220;Everybody knows that&#8217;s a joke. They did such a bad job. This should&#8217;ve never happened. This wouldn&#8217;t have happened. That was weak leadership, terrible — and the same thing with Russia,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Everything they did was the opposite of what you should&#8217;ve done.&#8221;
