“We can and know how to stand our ground—even against our best friends when necessary,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Board of Peace envoy said that Israel would not be required to withdraw from the Strip until Hamas disarms.

The IDF will not withdraw until Hamas is fully disarmed – Israel will defend its security interests even against its closest allies.

Israeli leaders say they will not accept a Gaza arrangement that again allows Hamas to survive as an armed threat.

As Trump’s postwar plan searches for countries willing to help stabilize Gaza, Uganda stands out as a rare African ally that has openly aligned itself with Israel.

Rarely has a foreign conflict with virtually no impact on people’s livelihoods, quality of healthcare, educational opportunities for their children and so forth exercised such sway over domestic politics.

“Israel is not starving children,” stated the Jewish state’s envoy to the United Nations in New York. “Israel is fighting Hamas terrorism, while Hamas uses civilians in Gaza as human shields.”

Former Israeli security officials say Hamas’s offer to place its weapons under a new Palestinian committee is designed to help the terror group survive and rebuild.

No amount of argument will stop a word that gives permission to hate.
