Israel Holds Off on Approving Hostage Deal, Accusing Hamas of Reneging on Details
Israel was still holding off on Thursday afternoon from officially declaring that a ceasefire-hostage release deal announced a day earlier by mediators had been reached with Hamas, insisting that details remained to be finalized and that Hamas was throwing last-minute wrenches into the negotiations.
Mossad chief David Barnea, the head of Israel’s negotiating team who was dispatched to Doha on Saturday night, was still in the Qatari capital as of Thursday afternoon, according to an official familiar with the talks.
Both the US and Qatar — who brokered the agreement — proclaimed on Wednesday evening that a deal had been reached to end the 15-month war in Gaza triggered by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held off on publicly commenting, saying he would only do so when the terms were finalized. [...]
The Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement Thursday morning accusing Hamas of backing out of some agreements and creating a “crisis” in finalizing the deal. – The Times of Israel

Israel Security Cabinet to Meet on Friday After Hostage Deal Reached, Netanyahu Says
The office of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that a “deal for the release of the hostages” has been reached in Doha and that he has ordered the security cabinet to convene later on Friday, a day after originally intended.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been updated by the negotiating team that agreements have been reached on a deal for the release of the hostages,” his office said in a post on X in the early hours of Friday. […]
His office had accused Hamas on Thursday of reneging on key parts of the agreement to extort last-minute concessions. No evidence was provided for the allegation and Hamas denied it. Netanyahu has been accused of deliberately sabotaging previous deals for his own political benefit.
It was not immediately clear whether the full cabinet would meet on Friday or Saturday… The Times of Israel reported that the full cabinet meeting would not take place until Saturday night, citing a Netanyahu spokesperson. […]
That could mean that the ceasefire does not come into effect until Monday, a day later than originally planned. — The Guardian
Our Take:
 |
This is a truly shocking development. Nobody saw this coming.
Actually, I think President Trump saw this coming, which is why he was so quick to spike the football and make countless posts on Truth Social celebrating the success of this deal. In the collective mind, Trump has already sown the narrative that this was a done deal, so this delay (which I assume will become indefinite) now feels like Netanyahu pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.
Now they are saying that they will "approve it" on Saturday, it will go into effect around noon on Sunday, and due to stipulations in the terms of the deal, the required 24-hour delay means that the first hostages won't be exchanged until Monday, when Donald Trump will be sworn in as President.
What does POTUS think about all of this?
“We changed the course of it, and we changed it fast, and frankly, it better be done before I take the oath of office,” President Trump said in a podcast interview with Dan Bongino.
Trump also said, “We shook hands, and we signed certain documents, but it better be done.”
But wait. There's more.

Netanyahu’s coalition will maintain a Knesset majority even without Ben Gvir’s party, though if fellow far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism also follows through on threats to depart, it would fall to a minority. Opposition parties have promised to support the coalition so long as it is advancing the deal.
Yesterday we talked about the Korean-Mexican standoff happening in Seoul. Now we have a Yiddish-Mexican standoff happening in Tel Aviv.
Trump's Gambit worked. Netanyahu is pinched.
Checkmate. – GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

Trump’s great relationship with Xi does not get enough attention or praise.
The VP of China is coming to the inauguration, and Trump is already working deals with Xi.
Trump’s relationships with Putin and Xi will be paramount in ending tensions and preventing full-scale WW3.

Xi and Putin met yesterday and the statement that was uttered was:
"Change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years."
Very interesting statement given that the petro dollar is seemingly on the verge of collapse...
What's your hot take on this?
(Note the date posted by US sm would make the event occuring on March 22, 2023 - combination of 223 - associated with skulls and bones and perhaps pain ~ mf)

In 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping met twice:
March 20-22, 2023: They met in Moscow, Russia, during Xi Jinping's state visit.
October 17-18, 2023: They met in Beijing, China, on the sidelines of the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.
For about 24 hours Donald was fuming , because it appeared His trumpeted "done deal" peace deal looked like collapsing.

If you start with the move indoors for the inauguration as a reaction to security threats it should be no surprise if Trump moves the location again late in the game.
Attacks have to be planned, and if plan A was an attack on the outdoor venue, then a plan B for an indoor ceremony at The Capitol was likely in play.
There might not be a plan C for the White House.
The good guys are going to make it as difficult as possible to approach Trump with a threat.
Trump may be our hero, but he is also the primary threat to the Western Deep State and perhaps the most hated man alive as a result.
Moves and countermoves in play.

ReplyDeleteInauguration Security Update from Susan Crabtree
Decision to Cancel Outdoor Inauguration Events -- Weather or Security Related? + other Security Concerns:
Over the last 24 hrs numerous colleagues and friends have asked me what Secret Service sources are saying about the cancellation of outdoor events for President-elect Trump's inauguration. I will give you the unvarnished report of what I'm hearing while being extremely sensitive about trying not to make attendees more jittery than they already are.
Most USSS sources I've discussed this with are sticking to the stiff upper lip, curt response: The cancellations are simply weather-related.
But a few sources I trust have said the extreme weather is good cover to make things much safer because of the heightened security environment. The Secret Service has a zero-fail mission, and there is absolutely no room for errors. The USSS operates in extreme weather environments all the time -- but it's different when you have hundreds of thousands -- if not more -- people converging near a protectee at an outdoor event after two assassination attempts and several long-term known threats.
What the FBI said Monday -- that it was not tracking any credible threats against the inauguration was laughable-- especially after the ISIS-inspired terrorist who slammed into a crowd on NYE in New Orleans. Trust in the FBI has been completely eroded. Even at Jimmy Carter's ceremonial lying in wait at the capitol, there were two lone actors the U.S. police interdicted trying to disrupt the event -- one with a machete and another who tried to blow up his car near the Capitol, the U.S. Capitol Police chief Thomas Manger said Monday.
👉👉The last inauguration that was conducted inside the Capitol was Ronald Reagan's second swearing-in. Reagan was the only other president in the last four decades to have been shot and nearly killed by a would-be assassin. It occurred during his first term.
Is this simply a coincidence? After what I heard from sources, I don't believe it is.
I'm told by a well-positioned source that there have been deep concerns among some federal law enforcement officials about the open spaces surrounding the capitol where the ticket-holding Inauguration attendees were supposed to be sitting -- whether that area and any area around the Capitol is going to be open to the public -- and if so, why are there no magnetometers being positioned to screen people before they are let in.
Secret Service sources tell me there will be NO ONE allowed in those open spaces on the mall next to the Capitol, and they will have numerous post-standers guarding the perimeter with many security sweeps near the Capitol complex. Everyone inside the Capitol, except members of Congress and Supreme Court justices, will be screened through magnetometers.
If anyone tries to climb the fence with apparent or obvious lethal force (either what looks like an explosive vest or a gun drawn) to get into those areas, they will be shot on the spot, Secret Service sources are telling me. This is one likely reason why a dozen police departments are reportedly refusing to help provide security for the inauguration -- they do not like the Secret Service's aggressive rules of engagement.
The USSS, military, homeland security agents, and national guard are not messing around - no funny business or aggressive actions to scale fences or bring them down will be tolerated.
There is a Secret Service press conference at 4 p.m. I will be set with questions -- please let me know what you would like asked.

A book classified by the CIA for more than 50 years contains a shocking theory about how the world will end.
'The Adam and Eve Story,' written by former US Air Force employee, UFO researcher and self-acclaimed psychic Chan Thomas, was written in 1966 but its publication was halted by the agency.
The reason behind this decision remains unclear, but some have suggested the agency was concerned the book would cause mass panic, or leak information related to secret government research.
Thomas claims that every 6,500 years, a major disaster on the scale of the Biblical 'Great Flood' strikes the Earth.
While experts debate the exact date of that flood in the Book of Genesis, Thomas asserts that it happened roughly 6,500 years ago, and there is some archaeological and geological evidence to support that claim.
By that logic, Thomas argues that the next catastrophe is imminent.
As for what the end of the world will look like, Thomas believes that Earth's magnetic field will suddenly, drastically shift, wreaking havoc across the planet.
Thomas had connections to classified projects during his time at the defunct aerospace company McDonnell Douglas. He was part of a small team of scientists assembled by the company to investigate reports of UFOs.
While there are no official records of Thomas working directly for the CIA, the agency's secrecy agreement means past employees need to get approval before publishing books and other works of communication.
'In California, the mountains shake like ferns in a breeze; the mighty Pacific rears back and piles up into a mountain of water more than two miles high, then starts its race eastward,' Thomas wrote in his book.
'In a fraction of a day all vestiges of civilization are gone, and the great cities — Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, New York — are nothing but legends,' he writes. 'Barely a stone is left where millions walked just a few hours before.'
The first chapter, titled 'The Next Cataclysm,' starts with: 'Like Noah's 6,500 years ago... Like Adam and Eve's 11,500 years ago... This, too will come to pass...'

🤣🥴TIME magazine has published an article offering advice to leftists who might not be able to cope on Inauguration Day Monday, suggesting that they hold group crying sessions and go ‘forest bathing.’
The publication, which begrudgingly named President Trump as its man of the year, produced a guide on what to do to avoid “spiralling” as Trump is sworn in, and it’s unintentionally hilarious.
