United Arab Emirates Ambassador to the United States Yousef al-Otaiba was asked what he thinks of Trump's plan to relocate the Palestinians of Gaza.
The Arab envoy indicated that he's not thrilled by it, but also that no one has offered a more viable alternative.
They might not like it, but Trump is normalizing the notion of "transfer" in the Israeli-Palestinian context, and those with their eyes open are beginning to see it's the only reasonable solution given the circumstances.

Gaza takeover will be a godsend for America
Rather than being ruinously expensive, the redevelopment of the coastal enclave stands to be massively profitable.

US hostage envoy Adam Boehler tells Fox News that Hamas backed down and will release 3 Israeli hostages tomorrow because of President Trump's threats.
But, Trump has lost his patience with Hamas, and that might not be enough.
Asked if Trump's ultimatum that ALL remaining hostages be freed now, Boehler said:
He noted that there are still 76 hostages in Gaza, including 7 American citizens, and that Trump expects a quick release process, not a drip-drip process that drags on for months.
According to the terms of the deal, Hamas is supposed to send by 4pm today the names of three hostages to be released tomorrow.

"I hope that Hamas is hearing loud and clear from the president of the United States that they’ve got to address that issue immediately."

Israel has a green light from the White House to unleash hell on Hamas, but seems unwilling to take advantage of it.
Hamas will release three hostages tomorrow, and it seems that will be enough to continue with this deeply-flawed ceasefire.

Hamas terrorists involved in this morning's hostage release carrying guns taken from fallen Israeli soldiers on October 7, 2023.
It's not for nothing that they cover their entire face and wear dark glasses. Revealing any details of their face would enable Israeli intelligence to identify and take them out.

Waiting on the Red Cross to arrive for the weekly theater performance. Today we are back in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. The hostages are being released at the ruins of the home of slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
The Hamas stage contains several slogans, among them one aimed at Trump: "No migration except to Jerusalem"

The cynicism of Hamas knows no bounds‼️
A Hamas source told Al-Jazeera: "The hostages will be taken to the release point in Khan Yunis in a vehicle that Hamas looted from Israel on October 7."
And yet another tasteless “gesture” by Hamas – Sagui Dekel Chen received a “gift” from Hamas terrorists for the birth of his daughter, who was born about a year ago while he was in captivity.

It is deeply frustrating to Israelis that international bodies say and do nothing about this horrible behavior. And yet, were Israel to do similar things when releasing jailed Palestinian terrorists, the international backlash would be severe.
Why the double standard?

Appearing in stolen IDF uniforms and carrying Israeli weapons, Hamas terrorists tell Arab media that they are "super soldiers" and that Israel should fear them.
But, as a reminder, during the long months of combat, Hamas terrorists (seen surrendering on the left) fought in sweat pants and flip-flops, hiding among the civilian population, or cowering in tunnels underground.
