Arlene Kushner | Arlene from Israel->But…!!->This means we would be trading the lives of future victims of terror attacks that would be perpetrated by those released in exchange for the lives of the current hostages->But the terms of the current deal suggest that we will not have won, that we will have agreed to pull back in Gaza in a manner that makes it more likely that Hamas can reactivate->Our deterrence would be reduced.->This would be to a disservice to the more than 800 brave soldiers who have given their lives to protect Israel in a war that was considered an existential necessity->What are his tough words to Hamas worth, if he wants it finished before he would be required to act on them?->US President-elect Donald Trump’s Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff held a ‘tense’ meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday during which the former leaned hard on the Israeli premier to accept compromises necessary to secure a hostage deal by the January 20 US presidential inauguration->The emerging deal is a catastrophe for the national security of the State of Israel->The signatories calling a potential agreement an ‘immoral step’ include seven members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party->The letter urges the premier to ‘not cross the most basic moral lines, do not endanger Israel’s security->to finalize remaining details related to the deal->Please, pray with a full heart…->[] for the safety of the Jewish People everywhere,->[] for the continued strength and courage of Israel’s leaders as they make the hard decisions,->[] for the

East, and in particular to his willingness to be aligned with, or linked to, Hezbollah, and with the Christian group that favors close ties to Hezbollah, Suleiman Frangieh’s Free Patriotic Movement, then there would be cause for alarm. The pending appearance of Husham al-Husainy confirms that there is considerable cause for alarm.->A moral and strategic abomination that sells out America and Israel.->Daniel Greenfield->The media can tell all sorts of stories, but the Biden team clearly feels Witkoff is on the same page as they are.->“I think Steve Witkoff has been a terrific partner in this, and also President-elect Trump in making clear that he wants to see this deal go forward, and go forward before January 20th,” Blinken says in an interview with MSNBC.->I can’t think of a worse recommendation than this.->Any deal with Hamas is unacceptable. It destroys the moral and strategic credibility of Israel and America. And the only conceivable deal to be entertained would have been the deportation of terrorists in exchange for the release of hostages. Instead, this deal follows the Hamas demands of an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the border with Egypt and the release of thousands of Hamas terrorists in exchange for the release of some Israeli hostages.->It’s a moral and strategic abomination and anyone on the Trump team who had anything to do with it has demonstrated that they are incapable of standing up to terrorists and protecting America’s interests.->Kelleigh Nelson ->TPUSA->Side Stepping Tough Questions->Immigration->TPUSA Losses->The Con of the Con-Con->not->Koch Organizations->“Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” ->Conclusion->Peloni:->Sundance |->Dr. Elai Rettig->-> ->EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:->T->he fall of the Assad regime in Syria has revived Turkey’s plans to construct oil and gas pipelines through the country, turning it into a regional “energy corridor” for neighboring states. Some of these plans would offer the Arab Gulf States a more convenient land route for exporting energy to Europe through Turkey, posing a challenge to Israel’s similar aspirations. Israel has other opportunities to export its natural gas to new markets via pipeline, but they pose the risk of undermining Israel’s relationship with Greece and Cyprus. Israel should follow the “pipeline game” in Syria closely to ensure that new economic opportunities in the region don’t pass it by.->The Turkey-Qatar gas pipeline project through Syria-> ->Proposed Turkey-Qatar gas pipeline->Continue Reading Article->Rafael Medoff ->Seth Frantzman->Whatever differences emerge between Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its predecessors, whether suddenly or incrementally, all jihadi groups will continue to embrace terrorism as a redemptive expression of religious sacrifice.->Prof. Louis René Bere->PA Ministry of Religious Affairs->Louis René Beres->(->)->;->(->)->Israel National News;->Avi Abelow->J.
