Hamas Faces Historic Choice as Trump Pushes Middle East Peace Deal

By Amanda Head | Just the News "It must be done," said Israeli PM Netanyahu. The ball is now in Hamas' court, but there's a plan to move forward even if Hamas does not agree. On Monday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a peace plan to end their conflict with Gaza. Hamas must now agree to the terms.  "This can be done the easy way or the hard way, but it must be done," Netanyahu said in a statement to the press at the White House. The plan received praise from Republican members of Congress, but also from unexpected sources like the Palestinian government, which serves as the bureaucratic arm of Gaza governance. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wisc., told Just The News, "Think about when President Trump went to the Arabic cou...

Trump Calls Out UN Failures in Fiery Speech Against Globalism

By Just the News staff | Just the News Representatives from several nations met in New York ahead of the Tuesday event as part of a summit to reaffirm support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Nations supporting the idea have yet to explain how it would work. President Donald Trump’s Tuesday speech to the United Nations General Assembly saw him excoriate the international body as ineffective and forecast Washington putting more distance between itself and the UN. Trump accused the United Nations of leaving the job of peacekeeping to him, highlighting the many global conflicts that he resolved in the first seven months of his presidency. Among those, Trump managed to speedily resolve conflicts between India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Rwanda a...

Gingrich: Democrats abandon centrism for big government socialism

By Newt Gingrich | Commentary, Substack The big government socialist wing has become the dominant force in what used to be a much more centrist Democratic Party. This week Sen. Elizabeth Warren aggressively endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York and attacked former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams. It’s clear where the energy and drive in the Democratic Party is. Of course, Mamdani’s win in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary was heralded by an astounding number of Democrats comfortable voting for explicit socialist Senator Bernie Sanders in his 2016 presidential campaign. Running against establishment favorite Hillary Clinton, the Vermont socialist received 43 percent of the vote. When 12 million Americans were willing to turn the White House over to an avow...

Israel launches precision military strike targeting Iran’s nuclear program

By Ross O'Keefe | Washington Examiner Israel conducted a military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear program on Thursday, hours after President Donald Trump cautioned Israel against one. Details of the damage Israel inflicted are still being assessed, and Israeli leaders warned their own population immediately after the strike that they could be on the receiving end of a retaliatory attack. Trump warned that a strike could happen earlier on Thursday but still held out hope for the United States and Iran to reach a diplomatic resolution regarding its nuclear program. “We remain committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran Nuclear Issue! My entire Administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a Great Country, but they first must co...

State Dept. urges evacuation as Israel-Iran standoff reaches tipping point

By Jennifer Jacobs, James LaPorta, Margaret Brennan and Gabrielle Ake | CBS News U.S. officials have been told Israel is fully ready to launch an operation into Iran, multiple sources told CBS News.  The U.S. anticipates Iran could retaliate on certain American sites in neighboring Iraq. This is part of the reason the U.S. advised some Americans to leave the region earlier Wednesday, with the State Department ordering non-emergency government officials to exit Iraq due to "heightened regional tensions." President Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is still planning to meet with Iran for a sixth round of talks on the country's nuclear program in the coming days, two U.S. officials said. Mr. Trump spoke about Iran at an appearance at the Kennedy Center on Wedn...

Herf: When ‘Free Palestine’ becomes a pretext for terrorism

By Jeffrey Herf | Commentary, The Free Press The global intifada comes to Boulder, Colorado, 11 days after the murders in Washington, D.C. On Sunday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, a group of Jews was set on fire. They had gathered in the afternoon for a march to draw attention to Israel’s hostages, who have been held by Hamas terrorists for more than 600 days, when a man reportedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the group, seriously injuring several. The alleged perpetrator is named Mohamad Soliman, and you can see him in videos from the scene shouting “End Zionists” and “Palestine free and for us.” This incident, which the FBI has called a “targeted terror attack,” comes less than two weeks after the assassination of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside...

Israel says it will only extend Gaza cease-fire deal if hostage deal passed

By Reuters via The New York Post Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Tuesday Israel was ready to proceed to the second phase of the Gaza cease-fire deal, as long as Hamas was ready to release more of the 59 hostages it is still holding. Fighting in Gaza has been halted since January 19 under a truce arranged with US support and Qatari and Egyptian mediators, and Hamas has exchanged 33 Israeli hostages and five Thais for some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees. But the initial 42-day truce has expired and Hamas and Israel, which has blocked the entry of aid trucks into Gaza, remain far apart on broader issues including the postwar governance of Gaza and the future of Hamas itself.

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
