“That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said.

The Military Advocate General’s Office opened a probe into the incident, according to the military.

The US president’s brilliant plan to relocate more than a million Palestinians from the “ruins of Gaza” has once again brought discussion about the future into sharper focus.

Among the Israelis recently released from Hamas captivity in Gaza, there were untreated wounds and signs of starvation.

How long can a person survive without food? Usually only a few days, but the international community claims the clearly-well-fed Gazans have been enduring famine since the outbreak of the war.

Keeping descendants of the 1948 refugees in place is about perpetuating a futile war on Israel. They should be allowed to flee Hamas rule and seek better lives elsewhere.

“Dad, there are two million terrorists there. I sat with [young Palestinian children] who mocked Judaism.”

No one can claim that the lives of Jewish souls in Israel are less valuable than military successes or the destruction of Hamas rule.

After 33 of our hostages are brought home in the first phase of the deal, Israel must return to fighting in Gaza—this time stronger, smarter and more efficiently than before.
