Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Finalized After 11th-Hour Obstacles, Handing Trump Early Win

Israelâs ceasefire and hostage release agreement with Hamas has been finalized in the 11th hour, finally bringing peace to the region.
The ceasefire will take effect on Sunday, handing President Donald Trump an early foreign policy win just hours before his inauguration.
The deal was thrown into doubt Thursday after 11th-hour demands from Hamas and infighting within Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs right-wing coalition.
However, those issues have reportedly been worked out.
âI am confident, and I fully expect that implementation will begin, as we said, on Sunday,â Joe Bidenâs Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
Israelâs cabinet approved the ceasefire on Friday, followed by a vote in Israelâs parliament, the Knesset.
âA few minutes ago I received a final announcement that all obstacles have been overcome and the deal is underway,â Aryeh Deri, chairman of the Shas party in the Knesset, said Friday.
The ceasefire ends 15 months of war in Gaza, where thousands have been killed and dozens of Israelis held in captivity since Hamasâs brutal October 7 assault.
The Israeli government has already contacted the families of 33 hostages who will be released over 42 days as part of âphase one.â

Col Doug Macgregor: Trump & Israel: The Latest
Fragile Ceasefire: The ceasefire between Israel and Gaza was always temporary, intended to provide a break for the Israeli Defense Forces and facilitate the release of hostages. However, it is expected that military operations in Gaza will resume with devastating force. Trump's Role: Former President Trump's offhand remarks about clearing out Gaza and encouraging neighboring countries to accept Palestinian refugees reflect a lack of understanding of the region's complexities. Refugees are unwilling to leave, as doing so would mean the end of their identity and cause. Israel's Strategy: Israel's actions in Gaza resemble "Mongolian warfare," characterized by destruction and mass killings. This raises moral and strategic questions about whether such an approach aligns with American values or interests.
U.S. Interests: Initially, U.S. interests centered on regional stability and peace. However, the support for Israel's actions has alienated much of the Arab world, poisoning relationships with key regional players like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt. The speaker argues that continuing to unconditionally support Israel undermines long-term U.S. strategic and economic interests. Two-State Solution: The possibility of a two-state solution appears unlikely due to Israel's unwillingness to compromise and the lack of a credible Palestinian leadership acceptable to both Israelis and Palestinians. Recommendations for U.S. Policy: The U.S. should disengage from supporting Israel's actions in Gaza unconditionally. Focus should shift to rebuilding relationships in the Arab world for economic and strategic benefits. The speaker emphasizes that supporting mass killings or expulsions in Gaza is unsustainable and detrimental to U.S. interests. Broader Implications: The conflict has lasting consequences for U.S. relations in the region and globally. The speaker urges a policy shift, warning that unconditional support for Israel will continue to erode America's credibility and influence. The overarching message is that the U.S. must reevaluate its role in the Middle East, prioritize diplomacy, and disengage from supporting actions that harm its long-term interests. - DD.

Egypt increases Sinai military presence, violates peace treaty
Satellite images reveal Egyptian tanks near the border with Israel. Experts warn: 'Four times the permitted forces'.
"Sinai is supposed to be free of all military forces. If the latest images are verified, the concern isn't just about forces in Sinai, the key issue is the type of tanks. The images show Abrams tanks, which are Egypt's premier battle tanks, reserved for elite units. The peace treaty allows for division-level tanks, so the question arises: What are these special forces doing in Sinai? In recent years, three new airfields have been built in Sinai, and massive tunnels have been dug, blatantly violating the peace treaty. The treaty allows for military camps for 47 battalions, currently, there are camps for 180 battalions, four times the permitted amount. These are ongoing processes."
Netanyahu rejects Egypt's plan for Gaza. Egypt rejects the displacement of Palestinians.
Netanyahu rejects Egypt's plan and stresses with the US Secretary of State "there is no alternative to the displacement of Gaza" with the arrival of US bombs to Israel and the decision to overturn the truce, and with the emergence of the plan to change the Middle East. Trump meets with Putin to change the map of Europe as well, where Ukraine's negotiations are taking place in the context of sharing the balance of power in Europe between Russia and America. Will Europe wake up and unite with the Middle East and China against America? Will Trump negotiate with Putin on Russia's abandonment of the Middle East to pass the displacement plan? - LZ.
