Incoming White Home Nationwide Safety Advisor Mike Waltz: said he was “relieved these three courageous ladies are now not struggling by the hands of Hamas terrorists within the tunnels under Gaza and are as soon as once more with their households. Extra to return.”
Guys, we’re about to get one other 41 days of horrifying footage like this.
If we are able to’t use this chance to show Hamas’ barbarity and systematic disinformation marketing campaign, we’re properly and actually screwed.

Chatting with NBC Information, President Donald Trump mentioned he had advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “Simply maintain doing what it’s a must to do. It’s important to have—this has to finish. We wish it to finish, however to maintain doing what needs to be achieved”, JNS reported.
“Respect. The USA has to get revered once more, and it has to get revered quick. However respect is the first phrase that I exploit,” Trump mentioned. “In the event that they respect us, [the truce] will maintain. In the event that they don’t respect us, all hell will escape.”
In the meantime 1000’s of Hamas supporters are jubilating in Gaza at what they see as a victory, with a deal that permits Hamas to outlive, doesn’t free all the hostages, however frees virtually 2000 hardcore killers and terrorists from multi-year sentences in Israeli jails.
Any trustworthy observer ought to be capable to take a look at the footage rising from Gaza—that includes genocidal antisemitic chants, glorification of terrorism, the near-lynching of hostages, and a well-fed civilian inhabitants—and confront three elementary truths:

Israeli-American Journalist Caroline Glick wrote that “if the U.S. needed a deal, it might have had one which didn’t require these murderers to go free. All Washington wanted to do was threaten Qatar, Egypt and Turkey — Hamas’s state sponsors — with precise sanctions for his or her harboring of terrorists. However no strain in anyway was dropped at bear on Hamas or its state sponsors, solely on Israel.”
Going by way of the checklist of terrorists Israel is meant to launch. 734 terrorist murderers. 2000 terrorists in all – in change for 33 harmless hostages, lifeless and alive. The names are a physique blow.
I bear in mind each single assault these animals carried out. They murdered a whole bunch…— Caroline Glick (@CarolineGlick) January 18, 2025
Gateway Pundit visitor contributor Avi Abelow wrote from Tel Aviv:
I’m standing right here at hostage sq. in Tel Aviv as Israelis across the nation are attempting their concurrently blissful on the launch of the primary hostages from Gaza, whereas feeling extraordinarily upset, fearful and even betrayed by this horrific ceasefire that’s forcing us to pay a tremendously excessive worth, rattling many future Jews to demise at their fingers, and provides over the impression that our Islamonazi enemies beat us.
From all the pieces I’m listening to, regardless of an incoming Trump administration (Rubio, Hegseth, Huckabee, Waltz and many others.) who all clearly help Israel destroying Hamas and successful this struggle, evidently the individual on the heart of this disastrous ceasefire strain on Israel is Steve Witkoff, Trump’s envoy, steering US coverage proper now on this unsuitable, immoral and harmful course.
Witkoff brazenly bragging about pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu into this deal, as if it’s a victory. However this deal is the precise reverse—it empowers Islamonazis everywhere in the world, sends the message that terrorism pays, weakens Israel, and straight undermines Trump’s personal doctrine of “peace by way of energy.”
If the leaders of the America actually cared about defending lives, saving our hostages and ending this struggle with the Islamonazis deterred from ever attempting to perform something by way of massacres, rapes and mass kidnappings, then they need to have been pressuring Qatar and Egypt, two international locations that help Hamas! These are the strain factors to power Hamas to launch our hostages unconditionally! Not strain on Israel to launch Islamonazi monsters to the general public to strike once more.

Regardless of this example, we’ll prevail. We’ll win. We’ll resettle Gaza and stay there perpetually, as a result of that’s the solely approach to make sure there may be by no means once more an Islaminazi terror entity in Gaza.
And if you wish to make a distinction, contact your elected officers and name them to have Witkoff fired and changed by somebody who’s related with the fact of the Center East, and aligned with Trump’s precept of “peace by way of energy”. Forcing Israel to appease Islamonazis will harm Trump and his agenda.
Regardless, place your belief in Hashem above, not in any human. We acquired this!!!
And within the meantime, rejoice every hostage that we reach releasing from the captivity of our evil Islamonazi enemy.
