In an exclusive interview with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire">Morning Wire</a>, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman discussed President Trump&#8217;s plan to have the United States take control of Gaza, saying it could become a &#8220;permanent monument to the failure of radical Islamism&#8221; if executed correctly.
“Why not now take this extraordinarily valuable property in the hands of decent people, make it what it could be,” Friedman told Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley. “Let&#8217;s create a permanent monument to the failure of radical Islamism. Because that&#8217;s what this will become.”
During a Tuesday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/united-states-will-take-over-gaza-strip-trump-says-during-netanyahu-press-conference?topStoryPosition=undefined" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced his plans to relocate all Gazans out of the area and to rebuild the strip into a U.S.-owned-development zone.
Friedman said the effort could be funded by the new American Sovereign Wealth Fund, a government-owned investment portfolio that will be used to purchase assets and invest for future generations.
“He&#8217;s looking at the incredible violence and waste and human misery and then he&#8217;s looking at what this could be,” Friedman said. “When I was working on this, we always had one gaping issue when it came to Gaza, which is, how are we going to get Hamas out?”
Friedman pointed out that Hamas has a lot of support and was democratically elected in 2006, though the terror group has not held elections since. But despite this, Friedman believes that many Gazans would willingly relocate for the chance at a better life.
“From my direct conversations with lots of people who come from Gaza, many people would love to leave,” Friedman said, adding that although some people will say they rather fight to the media, “there aren’t a lot of people who really feel that way.”
He added that he knew of many Gazans who wanted to leave before Hamas’ war with Israel began after October 7.
“I got a pretty good sense from people living in Gaza how desperate they were to get out,” he said. “It&#8217;s a terrible place to live. It&#8217;s under the most repressive radical Islamic regime, Sharia law regime that people want to get out and there&#8217;s a lot of educated people in Gaza because, oddly enough, there&#8217;s so little to do there. There&#8217;s actually a lot of people reading books. And so it&#8217;s not completely an uneducated place, and they want to get out and they want to move on with their lives.”
He estimated that more than 90 percent of “non-Hamas terrorist sympathizers&#8221; would want to leave.
“I would say we&#8217;re talking about probably a million and a half people at least who would gladly get on a boat and go someplace else,” Friedman said.
But Friedman says even Gazans who want to stay have to go.
“Whatever the legal issues may be, whatever the moral issues may be, they can&#8217;t stay,” He said. “There&#8217;s no place for them to stay. There&#8217;s not a building there which wouldn&#8217;t be condemned by any zoning board in the United States. They’re all going to fall down.”
The key is getting people to recognize that it’s simply not practical to stay, according to Friedman.
“I just think that once you reach the conclusion that the people who live there now have to leave for their own safety, for their own health, they have to leave. Then it opens up a much wider focus on what could be.”
Friedman said the United States should continue to pressure Jordan and Egypt to take in Gazan refugees, pointing out that Jordan receives massive amounts of financial support from the United States.
A good solution, according to Friedman, would be relocating the Gazans to Egypt’s large and rural Sinai peninsula, which Israel returned to Egypt in 1979.
“Sinai has basically been neglected by Egypt since Israel handed it back, so I think there&#8217;s opportunities there,” Friedman said.
Alternatively, Friedman said the over 20 Muslim countries could consider taking in 20,000 to 30,000 Gazan refugees each.
Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and other key players have rejected Trump’s idea.
Hamas, the terrorist organization that raped, murdered, and kidnapped more than a thousand people in Israel on October 7, called Trump’s plan a “crime against humanity.”

Ambassador David Friedman: Make U.S.-Controlled Gaza A ‘Monument To The Failure Of Radical Islamism’

Hamas released the names of three hostages set to be released from Gaza on Saturday.
Israeli citizens Or Levy, 34, Eli Sharabi, 52, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, will return home as part of the fifth wave of hostages released during the first phase of the ceasefire.
Levy was just arriving at the Nova Music festival on October 7, 2023, when terrorists killed his wife and kidnapped him. Levy was hiding in a bomb shelter where many civilians were killed. Those who survived pretended they were dead.
Levy was reportedly taken to Gaza alongside Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American citizen who Hamas murdered in August, <a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-838097" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Jerusalem Post reported</a>. Levy’s three-year-old son, Almog, has been living with his grandparents, and reportedly asks when he can return home.
Sharabi will return to a difficult life: Hamas murdered his wife, Leanne, and two daughters Noys and Yahel on October 7. His brother Yossi, who was also taken hostage, is believed to be dead.
Sharabi’s niece and Yossi’s daughter <a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-838201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently spoke</a> about the hell the family has been living in since Hamas’s attack.
“My father was kidnapped before my eyes,” she said. “He was murdered after surviving almost 100 days in terrible conditions in captivity. My uncle was also kidnapped. His wife, my aunt Liane, and my cousins ​​Yahel and Noya were murdered in their home. My cousin Idan and his girlfriend Eden were also murdered at the Nova festival.”
&#8220;I&#8217;m 15,” she added. “The amount of loss inside me doesn&#8217;t match my age. I&#8217;ve lost people I love so much.”
Ben Ami, a dual German-Israeli citizen, was taken hostage with his wife, Raz, who was released in November 2023. Ben Ami’s last message on WhatsApp reportedly said “Shma Yisrael, they’re here,” citing one of the most important Jewish prayers that many Jews say before they die.
Both Ben Ami and Sharabi were taken hostage from Kibbutz Be’eri.
So far, 13 of the 33 hostages slated to be released under the first phase of the deal have been freed, including American citizen Keith Siegel. An additional five Thai hostages were released under a separate agreement.
The fate of the remaining hostages, including five Americans, will be determined in the next phases.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/imposing-sanctions-on-the-international-criminal-court/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a> that imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), stating that the ICC “engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel.”
Neither the United States nor Israel recognizes the court or is a member. “The ICC has, without a legitimate basis, asserted jurisdiction over and opened preliminary investigations concerning personnel of the United States and certain of its allies, including Israel, and has further abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant,” the executive order stated. “The ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel, as neither country is party to the Rome Statute or a member of the ICC. &#8230; The ICC’s recent actions against Israel and the United States set a dangerous precedent, directly endangering current and former United States personnel, including active service members of the Armed Forces, by exposing them to harassment, abuse, and possible arrest.  This malign conduct in turn threatens to infringe upon the sovereignty of the United States and undermines the critical national security and foreign policy work of the United States Government and our allies, including Israel.”
Trump warned allies of the U.S., “The United States unequivocally opposes and expects our allies to oppose any ICC actions against the United States, Israel, or any other ally of the United States that has not consented to ICC jurisdiction.  The United States remains committed to accountability and to the peaceful cultivation of international order, but the ICC and parties to the Rome Statute must respect the decisions of the United States and other countries not to subject their personnel to the ICC’s jurisdiction, consistent with their respective sovereign prerogatives.”
“Thank you, President Trump, for your bold ICC Executive Order,” Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on X. “It will defend America and Israel from the anti-American and antisemitic corrupt court that has no jurisdiction or basis to engage in lawfare against us.  The ICC waged a ruthless campaign against Israel as a trial run for action against America. President Trump&#8217;s Executive Order protects the sovereignty of both countries and its brave soldiers. Thank you, President Trump.”

In November 2017, ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda asked for authorization to investigate alleged crimes by U.S. armed forces in Afghanistan. “Bensouda’s office ‘determined that there is a reasonable basis to believe that members of the Afghan National Security Forces, the US armed forces and the CIA had committed ‘war crimes,’” CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/05/politics/icc-afghanistan-pompeo/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>. In March 2020, the ICC granted permission for the investigation. “This is a truly breathtaking action by an unaccountable political institution masquerading as a legal body,” former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reacted. The Trump administration <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/09/02/908896108/trump-administration-sanctions-icc-prosecutor-investigating-alleged-u-s-war-crim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sanctioned</a> Bensouda and the court&#8217;s head of jurisdiction, Phakiso Mochochoko, in September 2020.
In early January, House Republicans <a href="https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/press-release/house-passes-chairman-masts-bill-to-sanction-international-criminal-court-for-targeting-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, introduced by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-FL) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) to sanction the ICC. “I don’t care if you are a terrorist in a cave or a lawyer at the Hague, if you get in the way of bringing American hostages home, then you will be given no quarter and you damn well shouldn’t expect to be welcomed on American soil with open arms,” Mast stated.
“This is an entity, the international criminal court, that has no jurisdiction over the people of the United States, should have no authority over our people, no authority over the Prime Minister of Israel, yet is extending into the people of Israel’s business in defending their interests against violent attack by Hamas, which we define as a terrorist entity,” Roy added.
In late January, Democrats in the Senate <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-democrats-block-icc-sanctions-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blocked</a> Republicans from passing a measure sanctioning the ICC; the bill got 54 votes, with all Republicans and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) voting for it, but it needed 60 votes to pass.

Last summer, I went undercover in the West Bank, sneaking in with a Muslim film crew while hiding my Jewish identity to ask Palestinians the kinds of questions no other journalist had dared to since the war broke out. And that’s the real scandal — because before October 7, I wasn’t exactly a journalist. I was a comedian. The fact that it took a comic to go in there and do their jobs for them is outrageous. The mainstream press, with all its resources, all its foreign correspondents, all its Middle East &#8220;experts,&#8221; refused to ask the most basic questions. Arguably the most viral report of the war — what the Palestinian people actually think — wasn’t broken by a major network. It was broken by me.
If you follow my three-part series, you’ll see that <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAYxi4WpYJ4/?igsh=MXVsdXBob2Y3Y2hlMQ==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I almost died</a> just for asking simple questions. That’s how deeply ingrained the hatred is. That’s how dangerous it is to expose the truth.
My raw, unfiltered interviews — conducted randomly on the streets of Ramallah — exposed the depths of Jew-hatred and propaganda in Palestinian society. But the most chilling encounter came when my Muslim producer arranged a private, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9xWl1ZJshF/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==">one-on-one interview</a> with a man who had been freed from Israeli prison not once, not twice, but four times — an alleged terrorist.
When I released the interview this January, after the first wave of prisoner releases, it went viral for its shocking revelations. In our conversation, Arafat Mudar Mohamed displayed just how deeply the Palestinian people have been indoctrinated. He claimed — with absolute certainty — that Hamas is incapable of killing women and children for &#8220;religious reasons,” that Israel never actually left Gaza in 2005, that no Israel civilians died on October 7, and, perhaps most disturbingly, that the hostages in Hamas captivity were actually enjoying their time there.
To prove this last claim, he pulled up photos from Hamas’s staged propaganda during the 2023 ceasefire — a grotesque spectacle in which hostages were forced to smile as they were paraded before cameras, surrounded by armed terrorists. But we now know that freed hostages have revealed the full extent of this deception: not only were they forced to smile, but they were drugged beforehand to appear happier and more cooperative.

This moment from the interview is what I believe the world must grasp most urgently. Propaganda doesn’t just work on the privileged Ivy League liberals bending over backward to reinforce their absurdly black-and-white principles of DEI — it is most effective on the Palestinian people themselves. DEI has conditioned the West to see the world in terms of the oppressed versus the oppressors, the weak versus the powerful, the dark-skinned versus the white. And this is precisely where Hamas’s propaganda succeeds.
The narrative they are selling to the world is simple: they are David, the small, brown-skinned, slingshot-wielding underdog, standing against the monstrous Goliath of Israel. But in reality, Israel is David. A tiny Jewish state — just the size of New Jersey — surrounded by 54 Muslim and Arab nations, many of whom openly call for its destruction. The real Goliath is the Islamic world, which seeks to erase the one Jewish country from existence, create a caliphate across the Middle East, North Africa, and ultimately extend its rule across the entire world. This is not just a regional conflict — it is a global mission for domination, and Israel is the only thing standing in its way to go after the rest of The West.
The irony, of course, is that Israel is just as brown-skinned as Gaza. While the media works tirelessly to paint Israelis as &#8220;white colonizers,&#8221; in truth, over half of Israel’s Jewish population are Mizrahim — Jews kicked out of Arab and North African countries who look just like their Palestinian neighbors. Many Israelis are darker-skinned than the very Hamas leaders orchestrating these terror attacks. Yet because it doesn’t fit the pre-packaged DEI narrative, the media ignores this truth entirely.
And while Gaza has suffered a year and a half of destruction as Israel tried to find its hostages and destroy terror tunnels and rockets, Hamas’s propaganda machine is somehow bigger and more sophisticated than ever. The cruder, shaky videos of a year ago have now evolved into Hollywood-style productions with drones, stedicams, and professionally built sets with fancy laminated backdrops. They’re not just spreading disinformation — they’re refining it, making it more convincing, more visually compelling, more impossible to argue against. Instead of using their resources to rebuild Gaza, Hamas is pouring money into selling their war narrative to the world, but even worse to convince the Palestinian people that they are winning a war which they are by all measures losing. All Hamas has left is PR.
And with the latest hostage releases playing out like a scene from “The Hunger Games” — a dystopian horror show in which Jewish captives are thrown to the mobs like meat to a pack of hyenas — it’s clear that this continued indoctrination will only fuel the next generation of so-called “martyrs” in Gaza and the West Bank.
The mainstream media refuses to confront the reality behind these disturbing images: innocent women and elderly men, tortured for months, swarmed by thousands of Palestinians clamoring to spit on them, kick them, and take selfies — while their terrorist captors force them to smile and wave like puppets in a twisted performance. The media also won’t show you the child abuse Hamas broadcasts proudly: Palestinian children, dressed in headbands and military gear, brandishing machine guns and chanting “Death to the Jews.” This is clearly not a genocide, but a continued call for genocide from the Palestinian people against the Jewish people.
And one of the biggest reasons the mainstream media won’t show you this? Because it doesn’t fit their narrative — the lie that Palestinians are simply innocent bystanders to Hamas’s crimes. In reality, after years of indoctrination, much of Palestinian society has become Hamas itself. This is not just a war against a terror group but against an ideology that has consumed an entire generation.
Arafat Mudar Mohamed said it himself in our interview: &#8220;The Palestinian people like Hamas.&#8221;
This is what the media refuses to acknowledge. Since they won’t show you this Nazi-level brainwashing, I will. My interview with this freed Palestinian terrorist offers a chilling look inside the mind of a man who fits the pattern we’ve seen time and time again: every time he was released, he went back to terrorism. And with thousands more just like him now walking free, we can be certain — this cycle of terror is far from over.

Israel Prime Minister <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/benjamin-netanyahu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benjamin Netanyahu</a> gifted President Donald a golden pager this week commemorating Israel&#8217;s legendary pager operation last year against Hezbollah.
Netanyahu gave the gift to Trump during their meeting on Tuesday in remembrance of Israel detonating thousands of the devices late last year, injuring thousands of Hezbollah terrorists.
The pager states &#8220;PRESS WITH BOTH HANDS,&#8221; and is mounted on a wooden plaque that praises Trump for his strong relationship with the country.
&#8220;To President Donald J. Trump, our greatest friend and greatest ally,&#8221; the plaque says. &#8220;Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.&#8221;

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-details-emerge-on-how-israel-got-booby-trapped-pagers-walkie-talkies-into-hezbollahs-hands">pager operation</a>, carried out by Israel’s intelligence service Mossad, was many years in the making.
In 2015, Israel began covertly selling Hezbollah booby-trapped walkie-talkies that featured hidden explosives that were virtually undetectable and a transmission system that allowed Israel total access to Hezbollah’s communications.
Several years later, Mossad decided to try to sell the Iranian-backed terrorist group pagers, also booby-trapped with explosives.
Because the terrorist group was already paranoid about Israeli infiltration, they would not purchase any products made in Israel, the U.S., or other allied nations.
Mossad decided to sell Hezbollah Apollo pagers, made by a Taiwanese company that was well established and had no knowledge of the plan.
The sales pitch came from a woman two years ago who worked in the Middle East and had created her own company to sell Apollo products. She was already trusted by Hezbollah and was completely unaware of Mossad’s plot.
The terrorist group fell in love with the AR924 pager after she told them that it was a rugged model designed to survive battlefield conditions, was waterproof, had a battery that could last months, could be charged with a cable, and had an encryption feature that would protect communications from Israeli surveillance.
Hezbollah purchased 5,000 pagers and started giving them to mid-level operatives and logistics personnel in early 2024.
Unknown to Hezbollah and to their trusted sales rep, the devices were secretly manufactured in Israel by Mossad. The explosives were so well hidden that they were not detectable once disassembled or by X-ray.
One of the most ingenious features of the device was that its encryption feature required users to press buttons with both hands simultaneously to read the messages.
When Israel decided to detonate the devices on September 17, Mossad first sent out an encrypted message to the pagers. Terrorists who picked up the devices had to use both hands to push the buttons on the device to read the message and, when they did, their fingers and hands were blown off, rendering them useless on the battlefield.
Less than a minute later, Mossad sent out a signal that forced the detonation of all the remaining pagers whose owners had not yet pressed the buttons on the devices. The result was hundreds of terrorists getting their genitals blown off by pagers that were inside their pant pockets.
Approximately 3,000 Hezbollah fighters were injured or killed by the exploding pagers.
By the next day, Hezbollah had switched to using only walkie-talkies — the very ones that Israel had previously sold to the group nearly a decade earlier. Mossad detonated the walkie-talkies, which carried a much larger explosive charge that blew up cars and rooms inside buildings.

Democrats have no handle on what to do with President Trump. No handle at all. We are 17 days deep into the Trump administration, and it feels like he&#8217;s been president for a couple of years because of the pace at which he is moving. It is absolutely unprecedented.
I have to imagine the Democrats feel like a boxer who is simply outclassed because the person they are facing down is throwing such a flurry of punches that by the time they even realize they&#8217;ve been punched, the next punch is already on its way and there is no possibility of slipping past it.
Because they are being totally outclassed only 17 days into Trump’s administration, Democrats are going right back to the old playbook, which means — impeachment.
Trump has been president for 17 days.
This just shows that the Democrats’ goal with Trump all along was never an honest accounting of presidential power. It was never about whether Trump had actually committed impeachable offenses when they impeached him twice.
It was never about any of that. It was this simple: They hated him.
It was beyond their reckoning that a Republican president might actually do the kinds of things that Trump wanted to do. Thus, they were going to use whatever tools they had at their disposal, whether it was impeachment, legal prosecution, deep state fakery in an attempt to undermine his popularity with the American public, or media and social media manipulation.
17 days in and the Democrats are already reverting to type. They are already saying they will do anything possible to stop Trump from enacting an agenda that was approved by the majority of the American people.

On Wednesday, Representative Al Green of Texas said he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump, accusing him of “ethnic cleansing” regarding his plans for Gaza. “Ethnic cleansing has been a crime against humanity, and I stand here today in the well to denounce what he said, to denounce what the president said,” he <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/texas-democrat-bring-first-articles-impeachment-trump-second-term-2026701" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bellowed</a>. “I rise to announce that the movement to impeach the president has begun. I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”
“Dastardly proposed and dastardly deeds?” I didn&#8217;t realize those were “high crimes and misdemeanors” under the Constitution of the United States. Green is going to write in his Articles of Impeachment, “Dastardly deeds done.” That&#8217;s going to be what it says?
By the way, what Trump is proposing for the Gaza Strip is not, in fact, ethnic cleansing. He is proposing that people ought to be allowed to voluntarily leave an area where there is nothing but rubble. There is no economy. There are no jobs. There is nothing. And then that place would be rebuilt into something that is actually great and decent, and some of those people would be allowed back, depending upon their circumstances. That is the proposal Trump has actually put forward.
According to Green, that&#8217;s now impeachable. But it doesn&#8217;t matter. It doesn&#8217;t matter what Trump did. Green could have found a thousand things to “impeach Trump” over. He is saying, by the way, that the articles of impeachment are still a “work in progress.”
“Senior Democratic sources brushed off Green&#8217;s efforts, casting him as a backbencher who is not in coordination with leadership,” Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/02/05/donald-trump-house-democrat-impeachment-articles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, but that will last precisely as long as they think they can&#8217;t actually get any steam behind it.
Democrats are absolutely struggling, one of the reasons for which is that Trump is picking targets that are unpopular for Democrats, and he is hitting them with regularity. This is the most targeted administration I have ever seen in my entire life. He&#8217;s picked a set of targets that are 80-20 targets in favor of the Republican position, and he is hitting them over and over.
Democrats are in full-scale disarray. Aesthetically, they&#8217;re in disarray. Organizationally, they&#8217;re in disarray. The Democratic National Committee just picked David Hogg as its vice chair. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Senate minority leader, is attempting to lead chants, and it is going wildly wrong. He showed up to protest along with his fellow Democrats like Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Al Green.
Remember, Green is supposed to be a “backbencher,” yet he is right next to Chuck Schumer at a rally protesting Elon Musk&#8217;s access to the Treasury Department.
As my producer Savi pointed out, it sounded like a chant at the nursing home right before they take them away to naptime: “At 5 p.m., we will all rest.”
In a <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/05/senate-democrats-trump-musk-resistance-012557" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piece</a> titled, “Blow this place up,” POLITICO wrote:
<blockquote>Senate Democrats are struggling to deal with a rising tide of anger inside their party as President Donald Trump and billionaire ally Elon Musk run roughshod over federal agencies, with House members seething and activists demanding they “shut down the Senate” in response. 
Instead, it has in many ways been business as usual in the Senate over the first two weeks of Trump’s second term. Republicans have ground through procedural obstacles to confirm nearly a dozen Cabinet nominees, a pace that alarms a broad swath of Democrats.
The lack of organized pushback has many Democrats wondering when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other party leaders will put forward a more aggressive strategy for resisting the GOP blitzkrieg that has already gutted the U.S. foreign-aid agency, halted many federal grants and left government employees shell-shocked.</blockquote>
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she of bartending and low IQ, said, “This is not business as usual, and Senate Democrats should not be treating this as business as usual. We need to see a halt on all Trump nominees.”
Do it. Try to stop all the nominees; shut down the Senate. Go for it. Let&#8217;s see how that goes for you. See if the American people like that particular plan. 
House Speaker Johnson <a href="https://mikejohnson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1543" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “The President is doing exactly what he said on the campaign trail that he would do, and he&#8217;s delivering on that. We&#8217;re a big part of that, and we&#8217;re going to do it as well. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party truly is seemingly lost. They have no rudder; they have no vision. They have no clear leader. The only message they have is anti-President Trump, and we&#8217;ve all seen that that&#8217;s a failed strategy time after time.”
Exactly.
Democrats don&#8217;t have a strategy. So they have decided impeachment, obstruction. Let&#8217;s see how that goes for them.
They are picking some of the worst things in the world to defend. It turns out the American people do not like wasting billions of dollars on ridiculous giveaway projects to Democrats’ friends. The Democrat blue taxpayer pipeline that was set up by the bureaucracy inside the executive branch had billions of dollars flowing from unelected bureaucrats in the executive branch to non-governmental organizations run by unelected Democrats outside the executive branch all over the world — and that pipeline is coming to an end thanks to the Department of Government Efficiency.
I&#8217;m old enough to remember when Democrats laughed at DOGE, saying it wasn’t a real thing. “Elon Musk, what&#8217;s he really going to be doing?” And then President Trump gave Musk the keys to the car, go into all of these agencies, begin gutting them, and start looking at all the problems in the agencies.
Musk and Trump going in and cleaning the government out? Turns out the American people like that.
And all the Democrats can do is caterwaul about impeachment.
Good luck with that.

President Trump

U.S. House of Representatives

President Donald Trump provided some more details about his plan for Gaza, writing early Thursday morning that his idea would not require any U.S. troops on the ground in the war-torn territory, which would be &#8220;turned over to the United States by Israel.&#8221;
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/united-states-will-take-over-gaza-strip-trump-says-during-netanyahu-press-conference" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on Tuesday in a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. would seek control of Gaza to create an economy that will “supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.” In his post on Thursday morning, Trump said the U.S. would work &#8220;with great development teams from all over the World&#8221; to rebuild the territory that has been controlled by Hamas terrorists.
&#8220;The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth. No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed! Stability for the region would reign!!!&#8221;
After Hamas&#8217; October 7, 2023, attack on Israel — when the terrorists killed around 1,200 people and took hundreds more hostage — Israel responded with bombings and military operations in Gaza. The years-long war between Israel and Hamas finally entered a ceasefire last month as the U.S. and Israel negotiated deals for the return of hostages days before Trump was sworn in for his second presidential term.
Trump said on Tuesday that his goal is to resettle around 1.7 million Gazans, adding, “I think they’ll be resettled in areas where they can live a beautiful life and not be worried about dying every day.” The president told reporters that Egypt and Jordan would agree to accept Gazan refugees, an idea both countries have <a href="https://apnews.com/article/palestinian-jordan-egypt-israel-refugee-502c06d004767d4b64848d878b66bd3d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strongly opposed</a>.
“They won’t tell me no. I want to remove all the residents of Gaza,” he said. “It will happen.”

&#8220;We&#8217;re prepared to look at all options,&#8221; Netanyahu added.
Trump faced criticism from Democrats and skepticism from some Republicans over his proposed plan for Gaza. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) <a href="https://x.com/marcrod97/status/1886944944125808731" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Jewish Insider, &#8220;I think most South Carolinians would probably not be excited about sending Americans to take over Gaza.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/05/trump-gaza-proposal-palestinian-displacement-white-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Wednesday that Trump&#8217;s plan for Gaza &#8220;does not mean&#8221; U.S. tax dollars will be spent on rebuilding the area.
“It’s been made very clear to the president that the United States needs to be involved in this rebuilding effort to ensure stability in the region for all people. But that does not mean boots on the ground in Gaza. It does not mean American taxpayers will be funding this effort,” Leavitt said. “It means Donald Trump, who is the best dealmaker on the planet, is going to strike a deal with our partners in a region.”

Trump Elaborates On His Gaza Plan: ‘No Soldiers By The U.S. Would Be Needed’

On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he would not attend the G20 summit in South Africa next November, citing the South African government’s laws permitting them to expropriate private property and their commitment to leftist priorities, including DEI and climate change.
In late January, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa <a href="//213B64F0-D835-434D-A583-A5697B1A9E9E/replaces%20the%20pre-democratic%20Expropriation%20Act%20of%201975,%20which%20placed%20an%20obligation%20on%20the%20state%20to%20pay%20owners%20it%20wanted%20to%20take%20land%20from,%20under%20the%20principle%20of%20%22willing%20seller,%20willing%20buyer%22.%20Anger%20over%20land%20set%20to%20explode%20in%20South%20Africa%20The%20new%20law%20allows%20for%20expropriation%20without%20compensation%20only%20in%20circumstances%20where%20it%20is%20%22just%20and%20equitable%20and%20in%20the%20public%20interest%22%20to%20do%20so." target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed into law</a> a bill permitting the government to seize private land without compensation. That law replaced the Expropriation Act of 1975, which obligated the state to compensate private owners for land that the government seized. The new law permits the government to seize private land where it is “just and equitable and in the public interest” to do so.
“Under the theme of Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability, our G20 Presidency reflects the essence of South Africa’s vision for global leadership,” South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana <a href="https://g20.org/news/lets-leverage-the-strength-of-collaboration-ahead-of-the-wef-and-g20-godongwana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> in January.
“Sustainability” is often linked to DEI principles, as shown <a href="https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2024/11/09/the-state-of-sustainability-in-2024-dei-will-survive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>, <a href="https://www.sustain.ucla.edu/equity-diversity-and-inclusion-in-sustainability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>, and <a href="https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2024/02/08/preparing-students-for-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-sustainability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
“I will NOT attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg,” Rubio stated on X. “South Africa is doing very bad things. Expropriating private property. Using G20 to promote ‘solidarity, equality, &amp; sustainability.’ In other words: DEI and climate change. My job is to advance America’s national interests, not waste taxpayer money or coddle anti-Americanism.”

In addition to its commitment to DEI and prioritizing climate change, South Africa has also supported the terrorist group Hamas. As Israeli spokesman Daniel Rubenstein noted, the government of South Africa actually condemned Israel during the October 7 massacre.
“Didn&#8217;t even wait a day,” Rubenstein pointed out on X. “The government of South Africa that condemned Israel on October 7 is the same government of South Africa that brought the fake ‘genocide&#8217; case against Israel to the International Court of Justice.

Trump Unleashes Mind-Blowing Gaza Plan

Ben Shapiro

Several pro-Israel experts who focus on the Middle East believe President Donald Trump’s plan for the U.S. to take over the Gaza Strip will be challenging, yet beneficial.
During a Tuesday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/united-states-will-take-over-gaza-strip-trump-says-during-netanyahu-press-conference?topStoryPosition=undefined">press conference</a> with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced his plans to relocate all Gazans out of the area and to rebuild the strip into a U.S.-owned-development zone, sparking varied reactions.
Jonathan Schanzer, the Senior Vice President for Research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said Americans would not be embraced in Gaza without the help of Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
“A plan that would include the Saudis and Emiratis would be more welcome by the rest of the region, but there is no Arab participation,” he said. “So, Trump has now forced their hands. Now we wait to see the Arab reaction.”
He added that the main challenge would be removing Gazans from the war-torn strip, which Trump has described as a “demolition site.”
“This would be better handled by the Arab states, but they have failed to propose a feasible plan,” Schanzer said. “Trump has forced their hand.”
Ran Bar-Yoshafat, an attorney and public diplomacy expert who has served in the Israeli Defence Forces reserve in Gaza after October 7, is a fan of Trump’s idea.
“It’s the right thing to do,” Bar-Yoshafat said. “Trump is saying what everyone is thinking. Better for them, better for us.”
He added that Trump’s plan — which the president called making Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East&#8221; — would make life safer. 
“Israel left Gaza but Gaza did not leave Israel,” Bar-Yoshafat said.
Luke Moon, the director of the Christian pro-Israel group, the Philos Project, said he’s worried Gazans will be violent wherever they live.
“Sorting out Gaza will be a test for the master dealmaker, Donald Trump,” Moon said. “On one hand, many want Gazans to remain in the strip as a perpetual thorn in Israel’s side. On the other hand, whenever I think about the Gazans scattered around the world, I’m reminded of the recent event in Malaysia where 40 Gazans were sent for medical treatment.”
Moon was referring to dozens of Palestinians who rioted after not being allowed to leave the guest house they were staying at in Malaysia while receiving medical treatment. Gazans were seen setting fires, climbing gates, and destroying furniture, <a href="https://www.jns.org/palestinian-refugees-riot-vandalize-kuala-lumpur-hotel/">Jewish News Syndicate reported</a>.
&#8220;It’s an easy thing to say the U.S. will control, it&#8217;s a hard thing to do,&#8221; Moon added. “However, Trump is correct that things cannot return to how it was for the last 20 years or more. We can’t just reset the clock for the next war.”
Elie Pieprz, the Director of International Affairs for the Israeli Defense and Security Forum, said Trump’s move puts pressure on the Arab world to help solve the conflict.
“Trump didn’t say this yet, but it seems like he is heading towards the direction that the Arab world needs to clean up their own mess &#8211; just like the Latin American world needs to clean up their own mess (and Canada too),” Pieprz said. He added that Trump’s plan is calling the bluff of many Arab countries who have failed to intervene, claiming that they are unable to stamp out jihadism, extremism, and anti-Semitism for fear that their regime will collapse and a bigger threat will follow.
Another well-known expert, Eugene Kontorovich, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation and professor at GMU Scalia Law School, said Trump’s proposal marks an end to the two-state solution.
“What is truly shocking is that while the victims of Oct. 7th were still not buried, the Biden administration was talking about rewarding Hamas with a Palestinian state, setting the stage for even worse massacres of Jews,” Kontorovich said. “Now President Trump is saying that the attempted genocide by Gaza doesn&#8217;t get a reward.”
He added that Trump’s proposal is similar to China’s strategy of growing its global footprint around the world. 
“He also spoke of &#8216;ownership,&#8217; which refers just to property not sovereignty,” Kontorovich said. “From Panama to Greenland, Trump understands the importance of projecting U.S. power and locking out the Chinese. Trump’s proposal would cut China’s belt.”
Hamas, the terrorist organization that raped, murdered, and kidnapped more than a thousand people in Israel on October 7, called Trump’s plan a “crime against humanity.”
Netanyahu said Trump’s idea is worth deliberating.
“I think it’s something that could change history and I think it is worth pursuing this avenue,” Netanyahu said.

‘Better For Them, Better For Us’: Top Israel Experts See Benefit To Trump’s Gaza Plan

It took just over two weeks after Inauguration Day for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Democrats</a> to begin a push to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeach</a> President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> in his second administration.
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) announced Wednesday that he was introducing articles of impeachment, citing the prospect of &#8220;ethnic cleansing&#8221; after Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/united-states-will-take-over-gaza-strip-trump-says-during-netanyahu-press-conference" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed</a> the United States take over Gaza.
&#8220;The movement to impeach the president has begun,&#8221; Green said. &#8220;I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.&#8221;
During a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, Trump proposed that the United States would take over the Gaza Strip.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out,&#8221; Trump said.
He added the project would &#8220;create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job, do something different.&#8221;
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/united-states-will-take-over-gaza-strip-trump-says-during-netanyahu-press-conference" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by The Daily Wire, Trump mentioned earlier on Tuesday during an Oval Office meeting with Netanyahu that he wanted to have the entire population of Gaza relocated — not killed.
&#8220;We’re talking about probably 1.7 million people,&#8221; Trump told reporters. &#8220;I think they’ll be resettled in areas where they can live a beautiful life and not be worried about dying every day.&#8221;
The Gaza Strip has been mired in a conflict between Israel and Hamas ever since the October 7 terror attack of 2023. Both sides <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hostage-and-ceasefire-deal-reached-between-hamas-and-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reached</a> a hostage-and-ceasefire deal earlier this month.
Green is no stranger to proposing articles of impeachment against Trump. The congressman from the Houston area did so <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2019/07/17/al-greens-third-attempt-impeach-donald-trump-fails/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple times</a> during Trump&#8217;s first term but to no avail.
However, Trump did get impeached twice, just not on articles brought by Green. One dealt with Ukraine, and the other with January 6. Both efforts ended in acquittal by a GOP-led Senate.
Green&#8217;s latest bid to impeach Trump will likely be dismissed like those in the past, as the House and Senate are controlled by Republicans who are largely aligned with the president.
&#8220;Nobody cares,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a>, who is leading <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weekend-warrior-elon-musk-reveals-how-doge-is-cutting-billions-in-spending-every-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cost-cutting efforts</a> in Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-government-efficiency-doge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DOGE</a>), <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1887168189777285425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in response to a video of Green posted to X.

House Democrat Moves To Impeach Trump Over ‘Dastardly Deeds’

House Democrats

House of Representatives

Impeachment

Hamas, the terrorist organization that raped, murdered, and kidnapped over a thousand Israeli civilians on October 7, called Trump’s proposal for the United States to take over Gaza a “crime against humanity.”
“What President Trump stated about his intention to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip outside it and the United States’ control over the Strip by force is a crime against humanity,” a senior Hamas official told Fox News.
The official called Trump’s actions an “interference in a topic which should not be of his concern.”
During a Tuesday press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump proposed a plan to relocate all Gazans to places outside the Strip. Then, Trump said the United States would be responsible for dismantling unexploded bombs and other weapons, demolishing and leveling destroyed buildings, and creating an economic development zone that would “supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”
“The U.S. will take over the Gaza strip and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said. “We’ll own it.”
Trump said he envisions the “world’s people,” including some Palestinians,  living in Gaza after it is rebuilt.
“I think the potential in the Gaza Strip is unbelievable and I think representatives from all over the world will be there,” he said.
He added that Gaza could become the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
Netanyahu said Trump’s idea is worth paying attention to.
“I think it’s something that could change history and I think it is worth pursuing this avenue,” Netanyahu said.
Trump’s justification was the horrendous living conditions from over a year of war in Gaza, which Trump has described as a “demolition site.”
“I mean there is hardly a building standing and the ones that are going to collapse,” Trump said. “You can’t live in Gaza right now and I think we need another location and I think it should be a location that is going to make people happy. You look over the decades and it&#8217;s all death in Gaza. This has been happening for years. It’s all death.”
Instead, Hamas called for the reconstruction of Gaza while Palestinians remain in the Strip.
“We demand urgent regional and international action to put an end to these malicious plans, because any attempts to implement such plans will destabilize security in the region and beyond.”
The official also said that “any manipulation in implementing the agreement may cause it to collapse,” referring to the ongoing fragile ceasefire agreement.
