The Biden-Witkoff surrender to terrorists deal gets worse.
When Steve Witkoff, who finagled a spot at Trump’s Middle East Envoy came in, he revived the Biden disastrous surrender to terrorism on the same terrible terms that Israel had previously rejected.
That included not only trading large numbers of horrifying killers, including the murderers of Americans like Marla Bennett, for a handful of Israeli hostages, but also trading live terrorists for the bodies of hostages.
This despicable practice rewarded body snatchers and enabled Hamas to kill hostages and still cash out. It meant that Israeli soldiers risked their lives to retrieve bodies, including bodies that had been held by the Jihadist ghouls for over a decade, to reduce the number of terrorists they would have to release under the Biden-Witkoff deal.
Now, at a ‘synagogue’ event in Manhattan, Witkoff doubled down on trading bodies for terrorists.
“The deal will “hopefully get to phase two,” Witkoff continued, emphasizing the importance of releasing the bodies of deceased hostages after all of the living hostages are returned to Israel. “
Throughout all this the question has been whether Witkoff knows what he’s doing or doesn’t.
In moments like this the mask feels like it’s coming off. Why push to get to “phase two” so Hamas can take over Gaza? To force Israel to trade corpses for terrorists. Does this help Israel? It helps Qatar and Hamas.

The idiot….evidently a friend of terror….is forcing Israel to support terrorism.
He should be kicked to the curb.

Agree 100%.
Stive says
Trump needs to remove witkoff pronto
tgusa says
“trading live terrorists for the bodies of hostages”
There shouldn’t be any doubt that Witkoff is a terrorist sympathizer. The stench of the biden gang still permeates the room.
Cynthia says
Witkoff is in bed with Qatar who baled his business out. He’s a golfing buddy of Trump, so he has his ear. This deal is horrible for Israel. The world just ignores that a few tortured civilians and even dead bodies are traded for live terrorists.
I hope Netanyahu can persuade Trump that Israel needs to eradicate Hamas, or under his watch another war will break out.
carpediadem says
Why would a real estate agent have any idea of any of this anyway??
Trump is burning his credibility on the dangerous idiocy of a Qatar limpet.

He has a clear conflict of interests, and should not be on this job. The only bad Trump 2.0 appointment so far
The Devil's Trill says
Bad appointment # 2: RFK,Jr.
His first cousin, Caroline Kennedy, JFK’s daughter, wrote a letter to lawmakers objecting to his appointment on the grounds that his defective character was incompatible with the job, and gave horrible examples not
repeated here.
Her letter was convincing and I hope will be effective. It is available on the internet.
Billy Corr says
I cannot pretend to admire Putin, but Putin and his chosen emissaries would not accede to a rotten deal like this.
To use a term from Jacobean English: Hamas is offering a feather for a goose.
gravenimage says
Putin is bowing to Islam, including building Muslims mega-Mosques and allowing Shari’ah law to be imposed in Chechnya on Russian soil.
memi says
Witkoff should be transparent about his Qatar Angel investors who saved his business and leave his post to someone with less admiration for Hamas and macabre practices for “negotiations”! Shameful policy.
Donna says
Jailed Palestinians should never be part of any of these hostage deals. Convicts are not the same as hostages to begin with. Sounds like something Jimmy Carter would’ve done.
bobby says
Since Israel is giving 90 terrorists to the HAMAS for 1 Hostage….that means that if 5 hostages are dead, Israel needs to dig up 450 dead Palestinians to give the HAMAS or execute 450 of they have in custody….. Fair is Fair…..basically an eye for and eye, it’s the Muslim way of doing things…
Renanah Goldhar-Gemeiner says
How is it that Israel agreed to this? Or did we have no choice? Were we not allowed to fight the war as we should have been allowed to and therefore we have arrived at this situation? Are we a vassal state under the United States and do we need to accept and understand this? And therefore the price of young beautiful Israelis in order for the Nation to have some kind of chance to survive – is the ongong reality for the Jewish People? It is a much greater chance to survive than during the Holocaust and most other periods in our history and yet we continue to be the object of torture and extreme cruelty by almost all the powers in the world. Our children go to war and are maimed or die fighting evil Nations who then prosper and are victorious while we win perhpas the chance to avoid extremination.

This news is extremely disturbing. This #WitlessWitkoff has got to go! Please get the word to our President from multiple people. I will try myself to pass this on to the right channel. Thankyou Daniel Greenfield!
Gamaliel says
There is no incentive for Hamas to keep the hostages alive or treat them well if they can get what they want with dead tortured bodies.

Grimly true, Gamaliel.
JimJFox says
Repeating a behaviour and expecting a different result is madness & Israel is therefore insane. Quite why this is so leaves me *baffled. Israel must learn that it encourages and rewards its enemies who will continue to take hostages…
Obviously any “trade” must be on a 1-for-1 basis, or NO DEAL.

Memo to Pres. Trump:
Tell Steve Witkoff “You’re fired!”

Spot on, James.
Left Coast says
I would trade 100 Hamas Terrorists for one Israeli body . . .
Just roll them out of the Israeli Jail . . . shoot them and deliver to the exchange point !

Witkoff Insists Israel Trade Live Terrorists for Dead Hostages
………………………………
Which is a good way to get more hostages–including more who have been murdered. Does Witkoff realize this? Or does he just not care?
