No Alternative to Trump Plan for Gaza
by Akiva Van Koningsveld
While the United Arab Emirates regards US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza as “difficult,” Abu Dhabi has yet to see “an alternative to what’s being proposed,” the Emirati envoy to the United States said.
“I don’t see an alternative to what’s being proposed. I really don’t,” UAE Ambassador to the United States Yousef al-Otaiba admitted, adding: “So if someone has one, we’re happy to discuss it, we’re happy to explore it, but it hasn’t surfaced yet.”
“But at the end of the day, we’re all in a solution-seeking business; we just don’t know where it’s going to land yet,” he continued.
Trump has suggested that the United States will “take over” the war-torn Gaza Strip, speaking during a press conference at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Feb. 4.
(There is only one viable alternative - Israel removes all terror-supporting population from Gaza, where – it is up to their Arab 'brothers and sisters'; and will make Gaza a part of the Jewish state. After that, Gaza will be transformed into the "Riviera of the Middle East"!)

Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak
Last Saturday, 3 hostages were released by Hamas, with an exchange rate of 1 Jew to 120 terrorists. One of them was an American citizen, the others Argentinian and Russian. For 16 months the international press and politicians of the ‘Ugly Nazi’ ignored or barely mentioned that on the 7th of October many foreign nationals were abducted by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists. ‘THEY’ have deliberately hidden the fact that enemies of Israel, Islamic terrorism, are not just a ‘Jewish’ problem, but the real threat to the whole democratic world!
A shipment of heavy bombs from the United States has arrived in Israel, as Marco Rubio visited the country. The munitions were sent after President Donald Trump’s administration last month lifted a hold on the deliveries. President Joe Biden had restricted the delivery of 2,000-pound bombs. Despite causing tensions between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the move did not portend any major changes in the war. Nor did it significantly improve Biden’s standing among critics of the war.
Nuclear Iran - Time is Running Out
The UN nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, warns that time is running out to reach an agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program as the country continues accelerating its uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels. Iran is in the process of increasing its monthly production of uranium enriched up to 60% by about sevenfold. In the coming weeks, Iran would have stockpiled roughly 250 kg of such material. If further enriched, could be sufficient for six nuclear bombs.
"Judea and Samaria" is the Correct Name
The Knesset’s Cabinet Committee for Legislation approved bill to replace the term "West Bank" with the historically accurate names "Judea and Samaria" in Israeli legislation in a first reading. The bill will reflect the legislature’s recognition of the Jewish People’s historical right to the land and correct a historical distortion. We must avoid using language that serves the enemy and supports a false narrative," MK Simcha Rothman stated.
This is not Reported by Israel-Hating Media
In clear violation of the ceasefire with Hamas, as a provocation ahead of a hostage exchange set for Saturday, a rocket was fired from Gaza toward Israel by one of the terrorist groups on Thursday afternoon. The rocket fell short of Israeli territory and landed inside Gaza, killing a 14-year-old boy. During this war 1,468 rockets were launched into Israel by Hamas and Islamic Jihad; 291 fell short and exploded in Gaza. How many Gazans were killed by them? Has the Gaza Health Ministry, so trusted by the Western media, released the number? Why not?
Fake Cancellation of ‘Pay for Slay’
Mahmoud Abbas signed a decree ending the notorious “pay-for-slay” program, which provides stipends to jailed Palestinian terrorists and the families of slain terrorists. A decision was made to allow Israel to cease its policy of deducting tax funds from payments to terrorists and their families. At the same time, it was reported that the payments are merely being transferred from the Ministry of Social Development to the National Palestinian Economic Empowerment Institution. (Israel seizes $1.1 billion in Palestinian funds to cover the PA’s electricity debt.)
Trump: Relocation of Gazans will be Permanent
The US President Donald Trump confirmed that under his proposed American takeover of the Gaza Strip and resettlement of its 2.2 (real number is around 1.8) million residents, displaced Gazans would not have the right to return to the enclave upon its reconstruction.
Trump warned Jordan, Egypt - if they don’t accept Gaza Arabs, he will cut off your aid.
- In 2023, the US provided roughly $1.5 billion in foreign assistance to Egypt.
- In 2023, the United States provided almost $1.7 billion in foreign aid to Jordan.
Egyptian Military Build-up in Sinai
The new Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter has accused Egypt of “very serious” violations of its 45-year-old peace treaty with the Jewish state. Egypt has constructed military bases in Sinai “that can only be used for offensive operations, for offensive weapons - that’s a clear violation. For a long time, it’s been shunted aside, and this continues. This is going to be an issue that we’re going to put on the table very soon and very emphatically.” In recent years, three new airfields have been built in Sinai, and massive tunnels have been dug, blatantly violating the peace treaty.
Quotes of the Week:
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism." - Senior PLO official Zuheir Mohsen, interviewed on March 31, 1977 – 13 years after the ‘Palestinian people’ were created with the help of the KGB, during the Cold War with the West. No wonder that the political Left is still supporting the terrorists of the fake nation!
The Promised Land and Political Stupidity
by Steven Shamrak
It started two millennia ago. Zionism is the inspiration of the Jewish peoples to return to the land of their ancestors. Promises that the barren land would be returned to Jews had been given many times, by various rulers. Unfortunately, promises to Jews are often not kept! Compromise after compromise, more and more Jewish land was given to Arabs. Desperate and politicly paralysed, by leftist ideology, Jewish leaders accepted humiliation from Europeans, Americans and United Nations. As a result, since 1946, Jordan and Syria have been occupying 82% of Jewish land. Any International acceptance of this fact does not make it right or fair!
After 56 years of independence, Jews still are not able to take control of their own destiny in their own country. It is hard to imagine what would have happened if Zionist leaders had settled for the creation of a Jewish state in Tasmania or Uganda, where Jews have no historical or legal grounds at all. We must be grateful to Jabotinsky and his Russian Zionist fraction for rebuking those ridiculous ideas.
Israel has never been given a chance to consolidate her victories and establish peace. Time after time the international community robbed the Jewish people of their victories over aggressive Arab states. In retrospect, it has proven to be an erroneous policy. Arabs are not enemies of Israel only. The language of power is the message they understand. And now all Western societies are paying the price for this mistake!
During the last twelve years many ridiculous plans and agreements were pronounced and actively promoted. None of them are advancing the prospects of peace, only obliteration of the Jewish state. Most ludicrous ideas are still coming from the self-doubting Jewish leadership. Only recently we heard of the ‘Gaza Disengagement’. The plan will not bring peace but encourage more Arab terror and International pressure on Israel to make more concessions. It will destroy whatever residue of Jewish national unity remains!
There is pressure on Israel to adopt the Fourth Geneva Convention. The US lead coalition had a free hand in fighting ‘insurgents’ and supporting the population in Iraq and Afghanistan, existing countries. At the same time, Palestine had never existed, and Arab Palestinians has been always supporting terrorism against Jews. The international status of territories is not changed. They are still ‘Disputed Territories’, only because Arabs made illegitimate claims. Why impose double standards on Israel? Why should Israel treat Arab terrorists differently?
When will this stupidity of Israel’s political system stop? Those Israeli politicians and public officials who do not believe in the Jewish state on Jewish land should put their personal ambitions aside and leave office. Let others do the job!
