Defense Minister Yoav Gallant today clarified that he opposes military control of Gaza after the war only because Israel doesn’t have the manpower to do it effectively.
Gallant stressed that he remains opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state, in Gaza or anywhere else.

Even on the streets of Gaza, there are people handing out sweets following the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
The role Iran played in the murder of hundreds of thousands of Sunni Muslims in Syria, southern Iran, Yemen and Iraq is not forgotten by the Palestinians.
This despite the fact that the Sunni Hamas regime in Gaza has found a warm place in the bosom of Shiite Iran, along with generous financial support for terror against Israel and oppression of the Palestinian civilian population.

Biden admin claims normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia is imminent.
If that's true, then it's very interesting given that Israel's leaders have just reaffirmed their opposition to a Palestinian state, and the Saudis previously conditioned normalization on an Israeli commitment to a Palestinian state.
So, what's going on?
Have the Saudis dropped that condition, or do the Americans think they will somehow compel Israel's leaders to do an about-face and support the creation of a Palestinian state?

Can you imagine the UN Security Council holding a solemn minute of silence when Donald Trump one day passes away?
Of course not!
But they did for Ebrahim Raisi, who personally oversaw the torture and execution of tens of thousands.
Meanwhile, the same UN wants to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for making war on terrorist-controlled Gaza.
The world is lost.

Benny Gantz and the National Camp party categorically oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state in the short-term, even in exchange for normalization with Saudi Arabia.
That was the message minister-without-portfolio Chili Tropper sought to reiterated in remarks to Army Radio.
Tropper noted that just a few weeks ago, Gantz joined Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in introducing a motion in Knesset against a Palestinian state.
---
There is almost zero support in Israel at this time for a Palestinian state.
As Israeli analysts noted last month, any foreign mediator thinking that now is the time to push for a two-state solution is utterly delusional.

Army Radio reports that the Biden administration has put forward to Israel another delusional proposal. Let's take a look at its main points and why they won't work...
🙏135
End the war...
Israel will agree to end the Gaza war in exchange for the release of all hostages.
But, Hamas has insisted that under such an agreement, the full withdrawal of Israeli forces comes first, and only then the negotiated release of hostages.
This means many more weeks of captivity for the hostages.
It also means all military pressure will be removed from Hamas, so Israel will have to take the word of these unrepentant terrorists that they'll actually free the captives.

Palestinian state
Israel will commit itself to the near-term establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
In the aftermath of October 7, almost no Israelis support this, meaning no Israeli government would survive if it adopted this position.

Gaza's "day after"
Israel will help develop a mechanism for governing Gaza following the war that is not IDF military administration or a Hamas regime.
This might be the most delusional point of all.
If the IDF withdraws from Gaza, who will force Hamas out of power?
Do the Americans think Hamas will willingly relinquish control of the territory?

American "guarantees"
Washington will expand the "security envelope" to protect Israel from Iran.
Most of us remember when America "guaranteed" Gaza wouldn't become a security threat if Israel pulled out of the territory and handed it over entirely to the Palestinians.
These "guarantees" no longer mean as much to Israelis as they once did.

Peace for the north
America will push harder for a diplomatic solution to the conflict with Hezbollah so that life in northern Israel can return to normal.
The Biden administration still suffers from the misconception that Israel's foes are pragmatic in the Western sense.
They still fail to understand this is a religious war.
Hezbollah exists for the sole purpose of destroying Israel. It won't, nor can it ever abandon that agenda.

But, but... Saudi Arabia!
The Americans hope that Israelis will be duped into agreeing to all the above by the prospect of normalization with Saudi Arabia.
Peace with the Saudis is indeed desirable to most Israelis, but after Oct. 7 very few are willing to any longer take mortal risks for peace.
Most of Israel's leaders have in the past 48 hours rejected the notion of exchanging a Palestinian state for peace with Saudi Arabia, including the darling of the Biden administration, War Cabinet minister Benny Gantz.
That's likely because most Israeli leaders understand that there's a good chance Donald Trump will soon return to the White House, and they'll then get peace with the Saudis without a Palestinian state.

Incredible footage of an IDF drone discovering a squad of armed terrorists waiting to ambush Israeli troops in the alleys of Tulkarem in western Samaria.
They try but fail to down the drone with bullets and stones.
The information was quickly relayed to another drone at a higher altitude, which in turn gave targeting data to Israeli forces.
The terrorists were eliminated without any harm to Israeli troops.
These drones save lives. Period.
And thanks to our Israel Today readers, we have been able to provide several such drones to Israeli special forces units during the course of the war.
