DOJ: Anti-Israel protester on Columbia University campus had direct Hamas connection

By Megan Palin | New York Post A “Jew-hater” who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus and contemplated setting a student on fire allegedly had a direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group, The Post can reveal. Tarek Bazrouk — awaiting trial after being indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people — was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for the brigades, according to allegations in federal documents. The accusation is the first evidence of an agitator receiving information directly from Hamas and taking action during protests on the university campus. Bazrouk, 20, who was not a Columbia student, also frequently wore the green headband used by Ha...

Hamas releases last living American hostage Edan Alexander

By Brittany Bernstein | National Review Hamas on Monday released Edan Alexander, the last living American hostage in Gaza, marking a major milestone in the long-running negotiations between Israel, the terror group, and the United States that began when terrorists invaded Israel and kidnapped hundreds of civilians. Alexander, who holds duel Israeli-American citizenship, was handed over to representatives from the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Israeli military said. The Red Cross will deliver Alexander to a special Israeli military unit and he will then be taken to a reception facility in Reim for medical and psychological examinations before being reunited with his family and airlifted to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

‘This is your last warning!’: Trump sends message to Hamas

By Ryan Saavedra | Daily Wire President Donald Trump issued what he said would be his final warning to Hamas on Wednesday, saying “there will be hell to pay” unless they immediately release all remaining hostages. Trump made the remarks after meeting with a group of hostages that had been recently released from Gaza after well over a year in captivity. “‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye — You can choose,” Trump posted in a message to the Islamic terrorist group. “Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY WIRE

Netanyahu delays Gaza cease-fire vote, accusing Hamas of trying to back out in ‘last-minute crisis’

By Bradford Betz | Fox News Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday accused Hamas of backing out of a cease-fire deal to release hostages and bring a pause to more than a year of fighting in the Gaza Strip.  Netanyahu's office said Thursday his Cabinet won't meet to vote on the Gaza cease-fire deal until Hamas backs down from what it called a "last minute crisis." Netanyahu's office accused Hamas, without elaborating, of trying to go back on part of the agreement in an attempt "to extort last minute concessions."  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Trump warns Hamas ‘all hell will break out’ if it doesn’t release hostages before he takes office

By Ryan King | New York Post President-elect Donald Trump starkly warned Hamas to release the remaining hostages before Inauguration Day or else “all hell will break out,” without elaborating on a specific response. Hamas is currently believed to have 101 hostages, including seven Americans, at least three of whom are thought to be dead, and Trump has long threatened repercussions for the terror group if it fails to release them. “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump, 78, warned during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago Tuesday.

One-year anniversary of Oct. 7 attacks arrives with lasting trauma for Israelis, American Jews

By Danielle Wallace | Fox News Life in Israel one year after the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks is far from a return to normal, as one expert explained to Fox News Digital what it's like dealing with the psychological fallout of the massacre while living near an active war zone – and even the lasting consequences for American Jews 12 months later. Dr. David Fox, director of crisis and trauma services for Chai Lifeline International, a Jewish nonprofit and network supporting families living with illness or loss, said he’s traveled to Israel multiple times over the last year to meet with hostages' families and consult with survivors' families on the ground.  "I think Oct. 7 will remain seared into the consciousness of Jews and of Israelis," Fox told Fox News Digital.

Hamas-linked individual entered executive office building, met with National Security Council

By Robert Schmad | Daily Caller President Joe Biden’s National Security Council (NSC) hosted the head of Rahma Worldwide, a health nonprofit that has collaborated with Hamas on multiple occasions, the Washington Examiner reported. The NSC met with Shadi Zaza, Rahma Worldwide’s CEO, and other Syrian-American community leaders on Sept. 11 in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building to discuss how the U.S. can best counter the Assad regime in Syria, the Examiner reported. Zaza’s group, however, signed a cooperation agreement with Hamas in August, and Zaza himself was photographed alongside Hamas officials days before the terrorist organization carried out attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. “We have spoken at length about our condemnation of Hamas and the horrible atrocities they comm...

Israel neutralizes Hamas’s military capacity in Gaza

By Limor Simhony Philpott | The Spectator Has Hamas finally been defeated in Gaza, nearly a year after it launched the most deadly attack in Israel’s history? Israel’s defense minister Yoav Gallant has proclaimed that Hamas no longer has a military capacity in Gaza.  Hamas has indeed suffered a considerable blow since October. Many of its tunnels — one of its greatest strategic assists — have been destroyed entirely or partially. Many of its commanders have been killed. Two of its top three leaders, Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa have been eliminated, as was the organization’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran.  Although the precise number of killed Hamas terrorists is not known, it is substantial. More importantly, the elimination ...

Republican files bill to deport Pro-Hamas migrants following American flag-burning D.C. riot

By Hudson Crozier  | The Daily Signal House Republicans are promoting a bill that would make foreign students who support terrorist organizations ineligible to remain in the U.S., a response to pro-Hamas protesters who brought chaos to Washington, D.C., this week.  Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., introduced a bill Thursday directing U.S. officials to deport any foreigner on a student visa who “has participated in activity in support of, or as an endorsement of, a foreign terrorist organization.”  The legislation came in response to crowds of people around Washington, D.C., who burned an American flag, vandalized monuments, and praised anti-Israel terrorists on Wednesday to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.  READ THE F...
