Speaking to reporters outside the State Department, Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leither says Israel will maintain its buffer zone in southern Lebanon until the Lebanese Armed Forces demonstrate that they can dismantle Hezbollah and assume responsibility for security.

Leiter stresses that the deal will not be based on a fixed timetable, but on measurable progress by the Lebanese army in disarming Hezbollah.

Roughly a dozen Palestinians received official invitations on Tuesday to serve on the technocratic committee slated to manage Gaza’s daily affairs in place of Hamas, an Arab diplomat and a Palestinian official told The Times of Israel.

The letters were signed by the Board of Peace’s designated high representative, Nikolay Mladenov, two of the technocrats who received the letters said.

Mladenov, a Bulgarian diplomat who previously served as the UN special envoy to the Middle East, will be tasked with directly overseeing the technocratic committee on behalf of the Board of Peace. He held meetings last week with senior officials in Israel and the Palestinian Authority in preparation for the transition to phase two of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip, which could be announced as early as Wednesday, the Arab diplomat said.

US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened Hamas with “hell to pay” if it does not disarm within a “very short period,” in remarks delivered alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after their meeting at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Hamas “will be given a very short period of time to disarm,” the US president said during a press conference. “If they don’t disarm, as they agreed to do… then there will be hell to pay for them.”

The warning was part of a series of remarks on key regional issues that Trump made to the press before and after a lunchtime meeting with Netanyahu and his team, including an assertion that the US would back an Israeli attack on Iran if Tehran continued to advance its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. He also made comments praising the leaders of Turkey and Syria, both of which Israel has sparred with in recent months.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s most powerful military chief in decades faces the toughest test of his newly amassed powers as Washington pushes Islamabad to contribute troops to the Gaza stabilization force, a move analysts say could spark domestic backlash.

Field Marshal Asim Munir is expected to fly to Washington to meet US President Donald Trump in the coming weeks for a third meeting in six months that will likely focus on the Gaza force, two sources told Reuters, one of them a key player in the general’s economic diplomacy.

Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan calls for an international force to oversee a transition period for reconstruction and economic recovery in the war-torn Palestinian territory, decimated by over two years of war.

Footage shared by the Israeli Foreign Ministry from inside the Strip shows suspected Hamas gunmen drag a man across the street as he yells before they start savagely kicking him.

One of the gunmen then aims his rifle at the already-badly beaten man and shoots him in the leg and torso, all to the horror of a second dissident who breaks down crying as the gunshots continue to ring out.

The post What’s in Trump’s proposed peace plan? first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Comey’s going to trial for lying, multiple times, to Congress and all of us. He’s sending out messages trying to say he isn’t concerned, but he is. He was part of the grand conspiracy to get rid of Trump once and for all. But the tables have been turned, and justice will be done. Trump can let the underlings do it while he worries about the United States.  

Sarkozy of France is in trouble too.  He’s got a supermodel, but she’s not going to do him any good where he’s going. The charges date back to his relationship with Kaddaffi, his sentence is five years, and he’s charged with trying to raise funds from Libya.  Not good.  He has a month to get his affairs in order before going for a five year sentence.

Did you see Trump’s visit to England?  I couldn’t help having my Dad’s words occur to me over and over: Ephraim and Manasseh.   

The outpouring of love over Charlie Kirk has been impossible to miss. Multiple commentators have said they’re going to keep having these meetings on university campuses and keep his movement going. Can you imagine what the little furry must think as he watches this play out? He probably made sure it would continue, rather than stamping it out. That fruit didn’t know what he was doing!

Charlie Kirk is being celebrated all over Europe. I encourage you to look up some of the ceremonies that have been held. Who knew? His videos were already coming often on my phone. Now they’re coming three at a time! Not that I mind. He seemed to put pretty much everybody in their place, and left them shaking their heads. They couldn’t argue with him so…

It looks like all of Europe is taking up for the Arabs in Gaza. Their Arab benefactors may have something to do with it. But here we are. I don’t think it’ll have any effect. Israel is cleaning out Gaza. Something people don’t know is that they position helpless women and children in positions they think will be targeted so they can carry on wailing when they are killed. These are probably the grandchildren of people I met a long time ago. But they’ve always reverted to disastrous tactics so they have something to be emotional about when the time comes. 

Trump says he will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank, and he’s working toward a cease-fire in Gaza. There are names being floated to preside over Gaza once it has been cleared. That’s a miserable situation, and who knows if it can be worked out? A bunch of imbeciles are boating off of Gaza, trying to pretend like they’re doing something. If they don’t get blown out of the water, they’ll have something to brag about the rest of their lives.

We are planning for the Feast of Tabernacles, and I hope you are too. My son Michael is flying to California to help out, to Branson and then to Panama City beach. I need to warn him about jet-lag.  

If WWIII doesn’t start, we’re in for a good ride.

The IDF said that it had “begun destroying Hamas infrastructure in Gaza City,” confirming the start of a major military push in the area after heavy bombing overnight.
