All Israel news Reports

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – Well-placed Israeli sources tell ALL ISRAEL NEWS that negotiations are almost complete in Doha, Qatar.

A final deal could be announced later today that would release upwards of 33 Israeli live hostages.

U.S. President Joe Biden and his team appear satisfied that this is a good deal for Israel and that the time is right to wrap it up to save the lives of the remaining hostages.

President-elect Donald Trump and his team also appear satisfied and are pressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept the terms this week. More Here

  1. This is such an important article and issue. After all of the Biden administration’s disdain for Israel’s efforts to end Hamas and protect its citizens from terrorist attacks (which continue to this day), and in the face of the incoming Trump administration and Trump’s recent demands that all hostages be released prior to his inauguration on 1/20, it strikes me as odd that anything short of the immediate release of all hostages would be considered acceptable. Hamas has been decimated, yet remains unrepentant, so why would any reasonable government back any plan that would leave Hamas in control of any portion of Gaza? The current plan, reportedly, cedes control, either certainly or likely, to Hamas in the future as Palestinians return home and begin the rebuilding process. The question is why leave the job 95% done? One could be cynical about that, but I won’t go there. I’ll never know, of course, what the true reasons are for potentially accepting this last minute deal, as the actual internal facts and deliberations of such international and political situations are either classified or will never be released accurately or in whole… The ongoing hostage situation was reminding me of the Iranian hostages being released the moment President Reagan was inaugurated, but the news is reporting that President-elect Trump is (supposedly) now ‘satisfied’ with the current plan. Well, I, for one, don’t believe that is exactly the whole truth, but we shall see, as legally and ethically, Trump is having to walk a fine line until he is inaugurated.
