Having previously warned last week that “there would be hell to pay” if the hostages were not released by the day of his confirmation, President Trump broke news today that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has been reached. President Trump broke the news via Truth Social:
[SOURCE]
DETAILS: “This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies. I am thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones.
With this deal in place, my National Security team, through the efforts of Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven. We will continue promoting PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH throughout the region, as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the Historic Abraham Accords. This is only the beginning of great things to come for America, and indeed, the World!
We have achieved so much without even being in the White House. Just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House, and my Administration is fully confirmed, so they can secure more Victories for the United States!”
Steve Witkoff was in Doha this week for negotiations, alongside President Joe Biden’s Mideast adviser Brett McGurk.
Here are President Trump’s previous comments on the issue, where he brought Steve Witkoff to the discussion.
Netanyahu will be ousted if there’s peace, so expect last minute sabotage.
sooo bibi hate a peace ?????
In a word, yes. Not only will he likely lose his prime minister position, he will likely be prosecuted for corruption, which was underway before this Hamas war started. And then there’s the potential for charges for war crimes and genocide.
Well, I think Netanyahu is doing a great job in leadership for his country and his people. If a terrorist org attacked the USA and took many hostages and tortured and killed many civilians, then I would pray for a leader as him to not rest until every hostage is returned and accounted for alive or dead. Hamas initiated an unprovoked attack out of disgusting hate ideology. Netanyahu and Israel will finish it, period.
Amen!
Exactly!! You cannot make deals with Terrorists, I don’t care who you are and they (Terrorists) don’t care one but about anyone except themselves.
This is stupid!!

The one thing the Israelis would not give up is the body of Yahya Sinwar. His brother Mohammed is now head of Hamas.
I’d guess Israel will keep Yahya on ice until the last Israeli body and hostage are back…and maybe not even then.
It looks like there was no “deal” and as of this morning Bibi did not sign it.
He shouldn’t. this is more bs from Hamas
Good! The Hamas Terrorists need to be 100% eliminated.
I was very perplexed at the time when they happened.
Netanyahu rejects Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering U.S.
https://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/netanyahu-trump-muslims-216602
Strange right?
Trump’s plans for Israel visit stir controversy after comments about Muslims
https://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-israel-trump-visit-20151209-story.html
Bibi was posturing.
That was nine years ago when Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL and several Jewish activist groups sued in federal court all the way to the Supreme Court to stop President Trump’s Muslim immigration ban. These people were dead serious hiring high-powered law firms to force President Trump to allow Muslims from terrorist countries into the United States!
…and they expect me to be concerned about Israel? Really!
It was not a “Muslim ban”. It was a terrorist ban.
The 33 “mostly alive” hostages are not going to be released in a group.
The release will take place over seven weeks with a few each week, and 30 terrorists in response to each release.
Some hostages are dead, so less than 1 hostage for 30 terrorists. Hell of a deal. /s
It means a lot to the Israelis to bring their dead home and give them a decent burial. Hamas knows this, and exploits the grief.
It means a lot to Americans, as well, and not all the American hostages are alive, or their status is unknown.
It speaks to the value of Israeli life does it not ? One Jew is worth 30 Palestinians? Surprising that this is the agreement.
Perhaps IDF will go in and dispatch with them later, once the hostages are home. One can only hope so, because otherwise despite all the hype, this is a sucker’s deal and a major win for the terrorists, IMO.
yep…
“trading” something (with a mortal enemy terrorist )for a future promise rarely pans out, as hoped.
Release them all according to plan……then atomize them as they walk free.
Sounds like a plan.
F*ck Hamas and all the Uniparty that supports them.
Screw Levin and his ilk. They should just be honest that they want all Palestinians dead and just want the land to themsleves.
no such thing as palestinians..

After WW1, the League of Nations established a “Palestine Mandate” under British rule. They called the area Palestine, because the Romans, almost 2,000 years earlier, had originally called the area “Palestina,” or “Land of the Philistines.” After WW1 this area was inhabited mainly by Jews, but also by various different Arab peoples. There has never been a country called Palestine, and thus there have never been any Palestinians. The term “Palestinian” is entirely fictitious and was invented solely to facilitate opposition to the state of Israel.
Not true. Jews comprised 3.2% of the total population of Palestine in the 1880s and then approx. 65,000 jews migrated over the next 30 years. Jews were about 11% of the total population in 1922.
‘Jews comprised 3.2% of the total population of Palestine’ – very much because they were under the rule of the muslim ottoman empire, which as almost every muslim ruler since the year 600 subjugated its ‘infidel’ peoples, enforcing humiliating laws, restricting participation in trade and public life, targeting the ‘unbelievers’ with special taxes, and discouraging jewish immigration.
the owner came home and the squatters from arabia didnt like it.
Pray for America:
Joel 3: In those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[b]
There I will put them on trial
for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered my people among the nations
and divided up my land.
3 They cast lots for my people
and traded boys for prostitutes;
they sold girls for wine to drink.
Yeah, this ‘deal’ is not going to make God very happy. Every time a US president tries to take/divide the land from Israel/Jews that was promised them by God, something bad happens to America.
Be prepared America!
Not all, 75% of gazans and 85% of PA arabs supported the massacre of Jews, I am willing to settle for just those dead.
Good, there should be opposition

https://nitter.poast.org/sentdefender/status/1879629553733448021#m
They’re smarter than Biden. They don’t want anything to do with this deal.
Trump’s job is to get our people out of there which he is doing. He’s smart enough to know this is an unsolvable problem made worse by the hostage taking.
Get our people out of there, take the win, keep his promise, and then get back to the bilateral peace deals. Hamas is nothing without funding. Dry up the funding.
“Hamas is nothing without funding. Dry up the funding.”
There is another way to express this idea
“Israel is nothing without funding. Dry up the funding.”
Which is, I believe, the idea Trump is putting out there, albeit in a disguised way.
We can hope.

Raping civilians (barbarism)
Slaughtering civilians (genocide)
I’m pretty sure that God is not down with that and I’m
pretty sure that He is displeased with the “chosen”.
You know, the ones who call themselves Jews,
but are not.
get your talking points from the gestapo or the kgb?
Apparently, from Hamas.
CNN likely.
I liked the exploding electronics, it targeted terrorists efficiently, apparently you think the killing terrorists is terrorism. LOL The rest of you narrative is pure lies right out of the mouths of hamas and the left. Apparently you subscribe to Goebbels MO “tell a lie often enough and it becomes truth”.

Seven hostages, five female Israeli soldiers and two Americans, to be released on Sunday as phase one of the cease fire.
Great job, President Trump. In another win, Johnson pulled Mike Turner from intel.
It’s not a win, not by a long shot
Correct. Release ALL hostages.
Trump pulls this garbage deal and now I know he will not pardon ALL of the J6 political prisoners.
Americans are going home.
It’s a win.
Just like Obammy sending Iran a billion $ in cash on an unmarked plane was a win, right? /s
How many American hostages did Iran return in that deal?
Oh yes, none.

The usual suspect on my radio weren’t happy about this news. They are literally upset that Israel is releasing Gazan hostages, over a thousand of them(man of whom are women and children simply taken from their homes by the IDF). Bibi doesn’t want this deal to go through.
Children?!?🤣 They are not Gazan hostages. They are adult male sub human terrorists.
Bibi doesn’t want any deal to go through.
He wants Gaza, parts of Lebanon, parts of syria and all
of Jordan.

Trump can change the deal instantly when he is sworn in or at the first sign of Hamas starting trouble again. What worries me is whether the released terrorists will murder the remaining hostages
Ridiculous deal. All the hostages are not even released. Some probably will never be released. But Israel has to immediately release 1300 terrorists. Hamas survives and remains in power as the IDF withdraws. Hamas will re-organize, re-build, and re-arm. Israel will fight the same war all over again in 3-4 years.
Trump is playing 3D chess. Your reviewing it like he’s playing checkers. He’s accounted for your doubts and is 6 moves ahead of the result you’re suggesting.
Yeah right! 3D chess. Stupid!

I wish the “polish snake”aka BIBI–BORN IN AMERICA- has killed them all. EVERY GAZAN IS HAMAS
That sounds a LOT like the rhetoric about Jews in 1940s Germany. Of course, if you feel that way, you’re no better than Nazis and actually WORSE than most Nazis, since the majority were unaware Jews were being systematically killed during the war. So you’re basically in the same category as the worst 10% or so of the Nazis. Congratulations on being a horrific bigot. Israel has no right to even exist after what its done and I supported them for my entire adult life (with rare exceptons) until about a year ago. Now I feel ashamed, but at least I’ve paid enough attention to realize how irredeemably evil Israel is as a nation today. If you really want to support a country where an Israeli poll found 49% though it was okay for IDF soldiers to gang rape POWs, only 40% thought it was wrong (although they didn’t specify whether they meant like “serious crime” wrong or “that seems like a bad look–I wish they wouldn’t do it” wrong. The rest apparently just weren’t sure because it was such a tough question. Unlike you, I don’t want all of the people on either side dead, because I’m not a genocidal maniac. However, I am convinced now that Israel has no right to exist and should be dissolved. This will very likely happen soon, anyway. The entire world except for intensely tribalist Jews who lack any sense of humanitarianism and the stupidest, most deluded evangelicals in the US and UK absolutely HATE Israel after what they’ve seen over the past year or so and side completely with the Palestinians, as they should. No country can survive 95%+ of the world opposing them as genocidal maniacs. Netanyahu has already been deemed a war criminal by the ICC and can’t even travel outside his own country and Israel as a nation is likely to be convicted of much more serious charges of genocide soon. They’ll either disappear or have to be completely changed into a different system of government with different people running it soon enough. I’m not sure the latter is possible in a society where a plurality thinks raping POWs is fine.
your uncle Goebbels is proud of you
lenny reifenshtal? is that you?
I voted for Trump all 3 times and am a strong supporter BUT if he calls himself a dealmaker…..this is no deal. Hamas started it….they should bear the brunt of negotiations. To the victor goes the spoils. They have forgotten that old adage. Lopsided deal….make them do better..
Israel turned into Apartheid South Africa and now they’ve turned into the Nazis. If I had known that “never again” was only about other Jews, but they were happy to commit genocide against different ethnic and religious groups themselves, I never would have given a shit about Israel to begin with and I feel like a sucker for (mostly) supporting them throughout my adult life until about a. year ago. All I can do now is attempt to atone for my former ignorance by fully supporting a free and independent Palestine, including Hamas–unless you oppose the American Revolution, it’s inarguable that Americans were treated better by the Brits than Palestinians were by the Israelis. Hamas had the balls to do something about it. Yeah, it’s ugly. That’s what war is like. Israel has never had any business being there and shouldn’t exist after this. An Israeli TV station polled regular Israelis to ask them if they thought it was acceptable to RAPE POWs and 49% said yes, 40% said no and the rest apparently needed some more time to think it over. Everyone in the world except for the stupidest evangelicals in the USA and England HATES Israel now that we can see what they’re really like due to modern technology/social media. There’s very little chance Israel will exist as a nation in a decade. Too bad. They should have chose Madagascar, as one of their former PMs actually admitted once. This is what happens when you turn into Nazis. It didn’t end well for Nazi Germany or Cambodia under Pol Pot and it won’t end well for Israel under Netanyahu, which falls into the same category and is every bit as culpable of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, etc., as Hitler’s Germany and Pol Pot’s Cambodia. Jews don’t need their own nation–they’re perfectly safe in other parts of the world and, if they really want land to themselves, they have plenty of money to buy an uninhabited island somewhere and leave the rest of us alone. Yes, every person is an individual, and I don’t judge individual Jews personally based on what Israel has done. But I consider anyone who supports Israel today to either be unimaginably, likely willfully ignorant or no different from those who think the Holocaust was a great idea. And I mean that literally–the extent of torture, rape and murder by Israeli’s today is just as evil and they have the same exact right to exist as a nation as Nazi Germany–zero.
repeat your lie often enough. your uncle Goebbels would approve
I’m not stupid. I’m not evangelical. I don’t hate Israel.
You can see both sides of an issue without jumping the shark, one way or another. Something you might consider, before flinging insults at everyone else.

war through weakness
At the last minute: Hamas demanding to cancel Israel’s right to veto
Hamas demanding to revoke Israel’s right to veto release of mass murderers who inspire further terrorism, despite announcement that final agreement has been reached, Prime Minister’s Office reports.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/402377
The Prime Minister’s Office on Thursday morning reported that the Hamas terror group is trying to backtrack after negotiators announced Wednesday that a ceasefire deal had been reached.
In an official statement, the Prime Minister’s Office detailed the issues Hamas is trying to backtrack on: “Among other things – in contradiction to the explicit section giving Israel the right to veto the release of mass murderers who are a symbol of terror, Hamas is demanding to dictate the identities of these terrorists.”
The statement comes hours after Qatar and the US officially announced that a deal had been reached.
Later on Thursday morning, the Prime Minister’s Office reported: “Hamas has reneged on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last-minute concessions.”
“The Israeli Cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement.”
The Hostages and Missing Persons Directorate in the Prime Minister’s Office, headed by Yaron Cohen, updated the families of the hostages that over the past few hours, Hamas has added demands that are in contradiction to the agreement reached with the negotiators.
“At this time, the details of the agreement have not yet been finalized and the negotiating team continues its efforts to find a solution,” the Directorate said in a statement. “Therefore, there is also not yet an official notice of success in the negotiations and the Cabinet meeting.”
yes, thanks.
The Surrender to Hamas Deal is a bipartisan betrayal of Israel in which the outgoing Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration got together to throttle Israel and demand that it accept a Hamas deal, overseen by its state sponsor Qatar, trading thousands of terrorists for hostages, live or dead, abandoning Gaza, and allowing Hamas under a fake ‘technocratic’ government to take it over again. Followed by an extended reconstruction that the United States will be paying for. https://bkdvk-zgpvh.campaign-view.com/ua/viewinbrowser?od=3z2bfeefc6e25f26cf812b76a5b8ac0e30e27282f9efb6946a6fa34a9221491b79&rd=11289f96a6e8f7936&sd=11289f96a6e8f02b9&n=11699e4c2aa0d06&mrd=11289f96a6e8f02a5&m=1
wow..you & I posted the same thing at about the exact same time, just different links (Greenfield). 🙂
Israel has betrayed humanity with terrorism and
crimes against humanity.
In Revelation we see the entire world turns against Israel.
I used to think that was because of the antichrist.
Now, it could be that the world has woken up
concerning Israel.
you maybe should study yr Bible a little more…
“…we see the entire world turns against Israel.”
and there’s a Reason for that….
that’s precisely when GOD Almighty steps in.
you are still cursed
Sounds like Trump’s people twisted Netanyahu’s arm on this one, giving Hamas the exchange of hundreds of terrorists in a phased deal that requires Israel to fully pull out and allow Hamas to continue its existence.
A deal is one thing, a ceasefire another, and actual return of hostages a third.
Ben Shapiro to Arutz Sheva: Hostage deal is painful, but is not a full-scale surrender
Daily Wire co-founder tells Arutz Sheva he does not believe Trump would pressure Israel into allowing Hamas to remain in power and speaks about the special musical he created with his father, ‘We Will Rise.’
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/402357
“I think the fact is that the Trump Administration wants the hostages out, and I also think that they want a headline that is connected to the hostages being released,” Shapiro said. “I think whether the deal ends up being a net benefit for Israel and for the United States or whether it ends up being a net detriment is going to be largely determined by whether it’s seen as a ceasefire/end of war deal or whether it’s seen as a hostage release deal. And it seems to me far-fetched to believe that the Trump Administration would cram down a full-scale ceasefire deal that allowed Hamas to remain in place given the fact that literally every Cabinet nominee who’s spoken on this has said precisely the reverse.”

This sounds like a great deal for Hamas. I guess the ransom plan worked.
What is he babbling about? This is no deal. 33 hostages for 100+ terrorists?? what kind of bs is that? Hopefully Bobbi doesn’t sign it. Hamas needs to be completely destroyed
From JNS.org (Caroline Glick is the editor)
“FROM NETENYAHU: HAMAS HAS RENEGED ON PART OF THE CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT
Hamas has reneged on parts of the ceasefire agreement announced on Wednesday in an effort to extort last-minute concessions, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said on Thursday.
January 16, 2025
“The Israeli Cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement,” according to the PMO.
Hamas Political Bureau member Ezzat al-Rishq was quoted by Channel 12 News, responding to the statement from the PMO:
“Hamas is committed to the ceasefire agreement announced by the mediators.”
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism Party signaled on Thursday it would likely exit Netanyahu’s coalition over the ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
A party official called the crisis “serious and real,” according to Channel 12.
Thirty-three hostages out of the 98 held by Hamas in Gaza are set to be released during the first phase of the deal. The agreement specifies that nine sick and injured captives are to be exchanged for 110 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences in Israeli prisons.
Israeli forces are to gradually withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border. The withdrawal will begin on the 42nd day of the first phase, after the release of the final hostage for the phase, and is to be completed by the 50th day.
The Rafah Crossing to Egypt will be prepared for civilian and medical evacuations immediately after the agreement is signed.
However, Channel 12 News reported on Thursday that according to a “senior government source,” Israel will not withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor in the first stage, and the second stage will not proceed unless Hamas agrees to relinquish control of Gaza.
Netanyahu spoke on Wednesday night with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and thanked him for his help forging the ceasefire agreement.
“The prime minister made it clear that he is committed to returning all of the hostages however he can and commended the U.S. president-elect for his remarks that the U.S. would work with Israel to ensure that Gaza will never be a haven for terrorism,” according to a statement from Jerusalem.
Netanyahu shortly thereafter spoke with U.S. President Joe Biden and “thanked him for his assistance in advancing the hostage deal.”
Just remarkable how a man who is not even President yet gets up and faces reporters and answers all questions compared to Biden who smirks while walking off stage projecting his utter disdain for Americans and the job of president. I find it astonishing.
I doubt the cease fire will hold if it even happens at all. Now that Natural gas has been shut off thru Ukraine. That leaves only Trukstream to supply Europe with gas. Israel wants those large Natural gas fields off the coast of Gaza to sell Natural gas to Europe. Israel will do anything to get them.
The ceasefire is just a show for President Trump’s inauguration. Israel will find a way to blow it apart it soon after.
The genocide must continue. There is too much money to be made. This war has destroyed Israel’s economy. It can be rebuilt quickly using those undersea gas and oil fields 25 miles off the Gaza coastline.
throw in the word ‘genocide’ to spice it up, and people will overlook your crackpot brew’s stink?
Would you have preferred that I used the word. Ethnic Cleansing? Murder? Butchery?
absolutely. the more you let the light shine on your twisted view of reality, the better. or, to maintain the metaphor, the more you’re exposed to air the greater the stink.
What twisted view? The reality is, and I will try to keep it simple and shed a little illumination where your head is positioned.
Nordstream was blown up. Ukraine was expected to destroy Southstream cutting north and south Europe off from cheap Russian gas, Thus depriving Russia from the profits from Gas and oil, crashing their economy. Or so that was the plan by the PTB.
The Gas fields in the southern Med sea were expected to make up for Europe’s losses of Russian gas. LNG imports and Scandinavian Gas would keep the North heated.
Did not work out that way. Hamas wanted their cut of the gas fields. Israel would not give them anything. Israel only wanted total control over Gaza. The Palestinians had to be eliminated.
Russia’s economy and military was more powerful and resilient than mistakenly believed. Russian gas was still flowing into Europe. The west still clung on to the belief Russia could be defeated.
So.
Just Like Jan 6th worked out so well here in the US. October 7th was allowed and encouraged to happen on an even grander scale. Giving Israel a justifiable reason to go into Gaza and take over. Israel expected to end the whole thing in a month or 6 weeks.
As NATO underestimated Russia. Israel vastly underestimated Hamas and the Palestinian peoples desire to fight for there country.
So over 400 days later here we sit. Europe’s economy is going down the toilet. Israel’s as well. Ours is not far behind.
What to do?
Don’t you just love it when a good plan goes to crap?
It will be interesting to see what happens. President Trump has a unholy mess to clean up.
So the fight is on. Either Netanyahu is the U.S. President or Donald Trump is.
Soon, we shall know.
