The IDF's Arabic-language spokesman reports that yesterday a four-year-old Palestinian child approached an IDF position in the Gaza Strip.
The soldiers returned the child with the assistance of international aid officials.
During the ordeal, the soldiers spoke with the child and learned that he had been sent by Hamas to approach the IDF position.
This is a sick exploitation of the civilian population, including young children.

Egyptian diplomatic sources say Cairo has been informed by the Trump administration that it will reduce American military aid to Egypt in the coming year in response to Egypt's refusal to host relocated Gazans in the Sinai Peninsula.

Freed hostage Omer Wenkert speaks about the abuse he suffered during captivity in the Gaza Strip.
Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, demands that Israel restore electricity to the Gaza Strip, insisting that essential services should "never be used as political tools."
And yet, Carney and other Western leaders are happy to let the Palestinians use hostage Israeli civilians for political gain.
Hypocrisy.

"Chuck Schumer used to be Jewish. Now he's Palestinian"
President Donald Trump took a swipe at US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over his routine criticism of Israel's policies vis-a-vis Gaza and his clear disdain for Benjamin Netanyahu.
Inadvertently, Trump signaled that the Palestinians are the "bad guys" in this equation, at least from an American point of view.

"Chuck Schumer used to be Jewish. Now he's Palestinian" President Donald Trump took a swipe at US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over his routine criticism of Israel's policies vis-a-vis Gaza and his clear disdain for Benjamin Netanyahu. Inadvertently…
Trump made his remarks about Schumer during a press conference with visiting Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
🔹Trump clarified that his plan for Gaza is for a voluntary incentivized emigration of the local population, not a forced deportation. And this is how Israel always understood it.
🔹The president also highlighted the lack of innocence in Gaza, noting that no Palestinian there had treated the Israeli hostages with any degree of kindness.
It was no doubt an uncomfortable setting for Martin. Ireland is one of three European nations, along with Spain and Norway, to have unilaterally recognized a Palestinian state in response to the Gaza war.

"Hamas could start executing hostages"
Oded Ilam, a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and former head of the Palestinian Terrorism Department at the Mossad, explains that Hamas is in a dire situation, and knows it.
🔹 Support from Iran and Hezbollah is all but nonexistent.
🔹 Efforts to ignite an uprising in Judea and Samaria have failed.
🔹 The new American administration supports even the most harsh Israeli measures.
The hostages are Hamas's only remaining leverage, which is why it's naive to think Hamas will release all of them anytime soon. They will drag out this process for years.
OR, Hamas could start executing hostages in a last-ditch attempt to turn the tables on Israel.
Israel needs to play its next hand very carefully.

Targeted airstrike in Damascus in the past half hour. It is not yet clear what was the target.
IDF Spokesman:
A short while ago, the Israel Air Force conducted an intelligence-based strike on a terrorist command center belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organization in Damascus. The command center was used to plan and direct terrorist activities by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad against the State of Israel.
The IDF will not allow terrorist organizations to entrench themselves in Syrian territory and operate against the State of Israel, and will respond forcefully to any such entrenchment.

Statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
"The anti-Israel circus known as the UN 'Human Rights Council' has long been revealed as an antisemitic, rotten and irrelevant organization that supports terrorism. For good reason Israel decided to quit it approximately one month ago.
"Instead of focusing on the crimes against humanity and the war crimes that were perpetrated by the Hamas terrorist organization in the worst massacre carried out against the Jewish People since the Holocaust, the UN has again chosen to attack the State of Israel with false accusations, including baseless accusations of sexual violence.
"This is not a human rights council; it is a blood libel council."

Purim has begun, commemorating that ancient effort to destroy the Jewish people in Persia, an effort repeated in so many generations that followed and in so many places around the world, including our own generation right here in the Land of Israel.
And yet, as Purim teaches us, the Children of Israel persist because nothing can overcome God's promises.
