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.

For those who still think most Gazans are "innocent bystanders."

They don't understand that for 17 years, Hamas has done its job well, brainwashing an entire generation to hate Jews and seek a violent death in confrontation with Israel.

Covid vaccine side effects not properly documented

Israel's State Comptroller on Tuesday issued a report criticizing the Ministry of Health's handling of public reports of side effects from the Covid-19 vaccine.

Over 33,000 reports of side effects were received through an online system, but were not fully integrated into the data used to determine Israel's handling of the pandemic.

Ministry of Health responds: We did consider the reported side effects, and Israel was the first to publicly report on the main Covid-19 vaccine side effect - inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis).

Why is the United States government honoring the deceased president of Iran, a man best known for the brutal torture and execution of tens of thousands of his countrymen?

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in response to the ICC prosecutor seeking an arrest warrant against him:

โ€œIsrael is fighting a just war against a brutal terrorist organization - Hamas.

"Even in facing a cynical enemy, Israel abides by international humanitarian law, and maintains professional and moral standards.

"We are fighting for the hostages.

"We are fighting for our lives.

"We are fighting for our future.โ€

The UN Security Council stood for a minute of silence in honor of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash.

Do you think they'd ever do the same for Donald Trump?

๐Ÿ‘†And keep in mind, Raisi is known as the "Butcher of Tehran" for his brutal treatment of Iranian dissidents and those who violate the Islamic Republic's moral codes.

He's believed to be directly responsible for the execution of tens of thousands of people.

And even America's UN rep stood to honor him...

Is the Biden administration delusional? Because this proposal is delusional.

1๏ธโƒฃ If the IDF withdraws from Gaza, there's no guarantee Hamas will free the hostages, at least not without *major* additional concessions by Israel.

2๏ธโƒฃ If the IDF withdraws from Gaza, who will disarm Hamas and make sure it gives up power? Hamas isn't going to voluntarily hand over the reins and lay down its arms.

3๏ธโƒฃ No Israeli government can survive if it commits to a Palestinian state. The overwhelming majority of Israelis oppose this after October 7.

4๏ธโƒฃ There is no diplomatic solution with Hezbollah. It's been tried. It failed. Hezbollah exists solely to destroy Israel. It will never abandon this agenda.

5๏ธโƒฃ Eighteen years ago, America "guaranteed" Gaza wouldn't become a problem if Israel withdrew and handed it entirely over to the Palestinians. Israelis no longer believe American "guarantees."

All the holes in its proposal notwithstanding, the Biden admin thinks it can dupe or compel Israel to accept the deal by dangling the giant carrot of normalization with Saudi Arabia.

But nearly all Israeli leaders have stated they will not capitulate to the Palestinians in exchange for peace with the Saudis.

And, they also know that they probably don't have to...

Chances are high that a year from now Donald Trump will be back in the White House, and Israelis expect he'll compel Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel even in the absence of a Palestinian state.

Lest we forget why Israel is fighting to eliminate Hamas.

These things happened. And they were celebrated by Hamas and its supporters.
