Israel removed every settlement from Gaza in 2005. It got Hamas. Anyone who says settlements are the obstacle to peace has not been paying attention.

Yesterday, the IDF struck Ghandour Hospital in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon. The hospital hasn't accepted new patients since 2019, but Hezbollah has been operating a command center from inside the facility. At least one Hezbollah member and a member of the Hezbollah-allied Amal Movement were reportedly killed in the strike. FREE LEBANON FROM HAMAS.

Over the summer, a coalition of Muslim groups in New York City formed the “Unbreakable Bond Coalition” to oppose the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. The group will invest in Israeli bonds and distribute profits to nonprofits focused on peace, coexistence, and fighting antisemitism. Participating organizations include @ammwecofficial, the Muslim Women Speakers Bureau, Global Youth Unity Project (GYUP), Abraham PRC, and Muslims Israel Dialogue.

The war between Iran and the US is heating up again. This week, the Iranian regime tried to launch sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz and rebuild its military and radar capabilities. These actions, along with Iran’s continued attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, led to US strikes on missile launchers, radar sites, and other IRGC targets in Iran. The US continues to protect the region, while the Iranian regime continues to destabilize it.

On Monday, 150 Gazans with dual citizenship and their companions were evacuated from Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing and taken to Jordan via Israel. The evacuation was coordinated by the IDF in full cooperation with the international community. From Jordan, they will continue on to other countries. Since October 2023, more than 50,000 Gazans have been evacuated to third countries through the Kerem Shalom and Rafah crossings, facilitated by Israel in coordination with the WHO and other nations.

Israel is dismantling an UNRWA vocational training center in Kafr Aqab, Jerusalem, and replacing it with a NIS 40+ million complex to serve Arab residents. The new complex will include a boys' high school, a mosque, and sports and healthcare facilities. Israel will not allow UNRWA to continue operating on its territory due to UNRWA’s complicity with Hamas and the October 7 massacre. That doesn't mean it's cutting all support for Palestinians. In fact, the new complex will serve many more Arab and Palestinian residents of Jerusalem than the UNRWA facility did. Of course, UNRWA is slandering Israel as it tries to stay in business.

Over the past week, Hamas has begun launching kites into southern Israel to test the IDF’s response. In 2018–2023, Hamas sent thousands of incendiary kites and balloons into Israel, causing severe agricultural damage and putting lives at risk. Hamas is allegedly encouraging children to launch kites to provoke Israel into responding. Israel has made it clear it will not tolerate any threat from Gaza.

Hamas is exploiting Gaza’s Nasser Hospital to detain, interrogate, and torture Gazans. Support for Hamas is declining in Gaza. In response, Hamas is cracking down on dissent. Israeli intelligence reveals that Hamas’s Internal Security Forces and Military Intelligence units are abusing the second floor of Nasser Hospital’s outpatient clinics as well as a building that formerly housed hospital offices, a cafeteria, and a prayer room to interrogate Gazans. Hamas is using the hospital as a center for torture, extortion, and terror activity, in blatant violation of international law.

BREAKING NEWS: The United Arab Emirates is suspending all trade, commercial exchange, and financial transactions with the Islamic Republic of Iran, "in light of regional escalations that undermine regional and international peace and security." The UAE was the first country to join the Abraham Accords. Now it's the first Muslim country to take major action against the Iranian Regime. Other Muslim countries should follow suit; if they do, there could be a chance for real peace in the region.

Will the Gaza Peace Plan actually work? US Envoy Jared Kushner met with Hamas officials in Egypt and with Israeli officials in Egypt to discuss implementing the Gaza Peace Plan. The biggest challenge: getting Hamas to actually disarm. If Hamas refuses to give up its weapons, it is Gazans who will continue to suffer. Gaza will not be rebuilt until it is demilitarized, and if Hamas refuses to hand over its weapons voluntarily, Israel will have full support to "finish the job" of defeating Hamas.

The Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization violated the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire again on Saturday by launching an explosive drone at IDF troops stationed in the Security Zone. Three IDF soldiers were injured. Reminder: There was a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon for 17 years. On October 8, 2023, Hezbollah violated that ceasefire in support of Hamas. A new ceasefire was reached in November 2024. In March 2026, Hezbollah violated that ceasefire in support of the Iranian regime. A new ceasefire was reached in June 2026. Hezbollah has violated it several times. FREE LEBANON FROM HEZBOLLAH

Officials from a Middle Eastern country advised another country in the region to reach a deal with Israel to lull it into a false sense of security while preparing for a war against it, according to reports in Israeli media. Hamas tried the same strategy, convincing Israel it wanted quiet while preparing for the October 7 massacre. Look what happened as a result. For a chance at true peace in the region, all countries must accept that Israel isn't going anywhere.
