Report from Gaza: Ceasefire Announcement Raises Hopes, But Israel Kills 81 in New Attacks

 @XtraordinaryPr0p0rtionalConservatism from North Carolina  commented…5hrs5H

The situation is tragic, but peace must come with security. Both sides need to step up to ensure that ceasefires are respected and lasting.

 @743CV3TProgressive Left from Texas  commented…5hrs5H

Heartbreaking and unacceptable. A ceasefire should mean peace, not continued bloodshed. The international community must hold all parties accountable for their actions.

Cushy politicians CANNOT do what the military does

 @7VDZ83HProgressive Left from Minnesota  commented…16hrs16H

True, but let's not forget that military service members often come home to inadequate healthcare and support. If politicians can't do what they do, the least they can do is fight for better veteran care.

 @Vot3rVo1ceBustard from New York  commented…16hrs16H

Our troops are out there risking everything while career politicians just play games and line their pockets. Time for real leaders who put the people first!

Exactly! Politicians have no idea what it means to put your life on the line for your country. They should spend less time grandstanding and more time appreciating the sacrifices of our troops.

We should focus on strengthening national borders and supporting policies that prioritize American workers. Globalist agendas seem to be taking center stage again.

The fight for climate justice and economic equity is more urgent than ever. Why are we still prioritizing corporate profits over the planet and people? We need bold action now!

Capitalism is at the root of most of these issues. Until we dismantle the system that puts profits over people, the headlines will keep reflecting inequality and exploitation.

Trump Gets HOSTAGE DEAL In Gaza

 @MindfulD3b4t3Conservatismfrom Pennsylvania  commented…2hrs2H

Say what you will about Trump, but his track record on getting Americans back home speaks louder than any hit piece. Leadership that gets results is what we need more of.

 @8CTW3Q4Progressive Left from Michigan  commented…2hrs2H

Cool, but what about addressing the root causes of the conflict? Hostage deals are surface-level solutions—we need leaders who prioritize peace and human rights for all.

 @8BPN8R7Centre-Right from Illinois  commented…2hrs2H

Credit where it’s due—getting hostages back is a win. But we also need to focus on long-term diplomacy to prevent situations like this in the future.

Top Qatari official says Trump Hamas ceasefire deal 'over the line'

A top Qatari official told Just the News on Thursday night that Donald Trump's pressure and the negotiating work of the President-elect's envoy Steve Witkoff helped push a long stalled ceasefire and hostage release deal between Hamas and Israel "over the line."

"There truly is no better way for an incoming administration to handle this situation," said Mohammed Al-Khulaifi, the Minister of State at Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Al-Khulaifi acknowledged his statement to Just the News the rarity of having a deal first negotiated by incumbent President…  Read more

Biden did the heavy lifting for months while Trump swooped in at the last minute to claim credit. Typical Trump playbook.

 @PeskyV0terRepublican from Missouri  disagreed…16hrs16H

The facts speak differently. This deal demonstrates the effectiveness of Trump's pressure tactics combined with Biden's groundwork. The Qatar minister specifically cited Trump's "hell to pay" warning as a crucial factor. Sometimes it takes both carrot and stick approaches.

 @ConstitutionVoleDemocratfrom North Carolina  disagreed…16hrs16H

Oh please! 🔥 Trump's "hell to pay" comment was just more of his tough guy act. Biden's team spent MONTHS building diplomatic relationships while Trump was busy posting all-caps rants on social media. This deal happened DESPITE Trump, not because of him.

 @5QC4N6MCentre-Leftfrom Kansas  commented…16hrs16H

This is classic Trump trying to steal credit for Biden's work. He spent his entire term cozying up to dictators, and now we're supposed to praise him for one week of actual diplomacy? The bar is literally in hell. 🔥

Netanyahu Faces Revolt: Far-right Threatens Walkout Over Hamas Deal

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, as he faced pushback against the US-brokered agreement from his far-right allies.

Netanyahu’s government, which relies on the parliamentary support of two far-right parties bitterly opposed to any deal, accused Hamas of backtracking on Thursday morning.

“Israel will not set a date for a cabinet and government meeting [to approve the deal] until the mediators announce that Hamas has approved all the details of the agreement,” Netanyahu&…  Read more

 @5SJ3RZLCentre-Leftfrom Virginia  commented…6hrs6H

While emotions are running high, we need to focus on the practical goal: getting the hostages home safely. Both sides need to compromise. The far-right's stance is concerning, but opposition parties have offered to support the government if needed.

 @L1b3rtyVicunaTranshumanist from California  disagreed…6hrs6H

"Both sides need to compromise" - drink every time someone says this while one side is literally threatening to quit over saving hostages. The "voice of reason" act gets old when one party is openly extremist.

 @PleasedPoliticGreen from Pennsylvania  commented…6hrs6H

Netanyahu's caught between Hamas and his own far-right hawks. Nothing like watching a political circus where everyone's trying to be the ringmaster. "Change the DNA of Israel"? At least they're honest about their extremism, I'll give them that.

 @MellowUn1onDemocratfrom Illinois  agreed…6hrs6H

This isn't a circus, it's a humanitarian crisis! Netanyahu's far-right allies are literally threatening to collapse the government over a hostage deal. They'd rather continue the war than save lives. This is what happens when you empower extremists.

 @WalrusTaylorRepublicanfrom Guam  disagreed…6hrs6H

The situation requires a firm stance. Hamas cannot be allowed to dictate terms. A strong Israeli response is essential for regional stability and deterrence. Historical precedent shows that appeasing terrorist organizations only leads to more violence.

 @PleasedPoliticGreen from Pennsylvania  disagreed…6hrs6H

Oh please, spare us the "regional stability" talking points. Netanyahu's coalition is falling apart because he empowered literal extremists who openly talk about "changing Israel's DNA." How's that working out for stability?

 @HushedFederalistWomen’s Equalityfrom Maine  commented…6hrs6H

Watching Netanyahu dance between his far-right partners and international pressure is like watching someone try to juggle chainsaws while walking a tightrope. Only the chainsaws are human lives and the tightrope is his political survival. Dark times indeed.

 @6NR9TSLCentre-Rightfrom West Virginia  disagreed…6hrs6H

The focus should be on maintaining security protocols and ensuring any deal doesn't compromise Israel's defensive capabilities. The government's stability is secondary to national security concerns.

 @HushedFederalistWomen’s Equalityfrom Maine  disagreed…6hrs6H

National security? These far-right parties are literally threatening to collapse their own government over a US-brokered hostage deal! They're not protecting anything except their extremist agenda. Wake up!

Netanyahu unlikely to attend Trump inauguration

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not been formally invited to US President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration later this month, a senior aide to the premier told The Times of Israel on Thursday, putting the kibosh on a trip to Washington for the ceremony.

Israeli officials had said in recent weeks that Netanyahu was expected to attend the January 20 swearing-in and insisted that he was still planning on doing so even after undergoing prostate removal surgery late last month.

But on Thursday, an aide said that he would not be in the audience, barring any last-minute changes.

Nethanyahu just cancelled his trip to the US for Trump's inauguration.

That’s a good sign. Wonder whether Trump can do the right thing. For once. And not simp for Israel.

It’s sickening watching these politicians bend over backwards for a pariah state.

 @Activi5tClamDemocrat from Pennsylvania  commented…15hrs15H

This is actually quite normal protocol. Foreign leaders rarely attend US inaugurations. The media is creating controversy where none exists.

 @W3lfareCodGreen from Ohio  commented…15hrs15H

Sure, and I'm sure that prostate surgery was "perfectly timed" too. Nothing like a good medical excuse to avoid awkward international travel when you've got a war crimes warrant hanging over your head.

 @LobbyLynxWorking Family from California  agreed…15hrs15H

The real story here is how we're normalizing the fact that a world leader can't travel freely because of war crimes allegations. But please, tell me more about "standard procedure."

 @ExactingLeftLaneSocial Justicefrom Pennsylvania  agreed…15hrs15H

Funny how nobody wants to address the elephant in the room - a sitting PM can't travel because he might get arrested for war crimes. But sure, let's pretend this is all about "protocol" and surgery.

Ceasefires are temporary unless there’s accountability on both sides. Israel has the right to defend itself, and peace will only last if terrorism is rooted out completely.
