Hamas ally PFLP calls urgent meeting to devise ‘unified Palestinian stance’ on Trump’s Gaza plan
Every Palestinian group is united in the cause of Islam and in the “resistance” — a jihad to annihilate Israel from the River to the Sea. Recently it emerged that while publicly supporting Trump’s Gaza plan, Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority was also telling Hamas “unify with us.” Islamic entities, more than ever now, […]
Hamas top dog in Gaza rejects Trump’s peace deal
This was a foregone conclusion, and not just because Izz al-Din Haddad thought that the deal was designed to end Hamas. The jihad doesn’t end. Unless a Muslim force is doing so in order to deceive the unbeliever and buy time to gather its strength, Islamic law forbids it to conclude a peace deal with […]
While publicly supporting Trump’s Gaza plan, Palestinian Authority tells Hamas ‘unify with us’
Taqiyya, or dissimulation, is a tenet of Islam for advancing the Sharia. What is said among Muslims internally and what is said publicly for the ears of infidels are often two different things altogether. “He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar.” Sahih Bukhari […]
Hamas Won’t Surrender its Control Over Gaza

In Gaza City, the Circle Tightens

It also killed one of most important Hamas terrorists, […]
Two Clear Wins for Netanyahu in Trump’s Gaza Deal
Two things are clear wins for Netanyahu. First, it is not the Palestinian Authority, but a group of Arab technocrats who will take over running Gaza after Hamas surrenders. Whether or not such people can actually be found is a different matter, but at very least, the plan does not allow for an extension of […]
Trump’s Gaza Deal: The Good, the Bad, and the Still-To-Be-Determined
British analyst Andrew Fox considers what Israel, in accepting Trump’s 20-point plan, has gained and lost, here: “Waiting on Hamas with bated breath,” Andrew Fox, September 30, 2025: After nearly two exhausting years of conflict, Israel has agreed to a US-mediated Gaza ceasefire deal that, if Hamas accepts, guarantees the two things Israelis desire most: […]
Netanyahu calls Qatar from White House, apologizes for strike on Hamas in Doha
Just over two weeks ago, Israel’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Danny Danon, vigorously defended Israel’s position in the UN Security Council as he took Pakistan to task. Danon stated that “Pakistan cannot change the fact that Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden was sheltered and killed on its soil.” He continued: When bin Laden was eliminated […]
