מה שהזוי!!!!!! ממשלת ישראל ממשיכה להגדיר את דרישות חמאס ״הזויות״, האמנם? מה בעצם הזוי? חמאס דורש סיום המלחמה ונסיגת ישראל מעזה. מה הזוי בזה? באמת! מה שהזוי הוא שישראל לא רוצה לסיים את המלחמה כי בסיום המלחמה יש ועדת חקירה ממלכתית ובחירות. סיום המלחמה מביא לתהליך מואץ של סילוקו של…

The Israeli military believes that there are still more tunnels under the Philadelphi line through which Hamas has smuggled a lot of weapons and ammunition over the years. Apparently the tunnels' entrances are inside houses in the Rafah refugee camp on the Egyptian side. The…

There may be hostage holders who are scared and who don't want to die. If Israel catches them, they will be killed. So run for your life and bring some hostages with you. Hamas is finished. They have to understand that now. Hamas has completely lost its right to exist.

I recommend being very careful quoting as fact what Hamas says or what Netanyahu says - this is all part of the ongoing negotiations - and I say this from 1st hand experience. We don't really know what is going on in the real negotiations.

If you want to be part of the community of nations in this world, do the right thing. 3. Israel should announce that any Gazan who brings hostages to the border will be granted amnesty and passage to the West Bank.

5/6 cannot afford to be on the list of countries that support terrorism. At the same time, I told everyone who wants to listen that the main channel must be the Egyptian channel. Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashal have no influence at all on what happens in the tunnels of Gaza.

Who ever wants to bring about the canceling of the peace treaties between Israel and Egypt and Jordan - continue talking about transferring Palestinians from Gaza. This is a strategic blow to Israel and those advancing it are traitors and dangerous.

There is only 1 way to bring all of the hostages home alive - thru a negotiated agreement with Hamas. The price is known & is now an almost impossible dilemma for the decision makers. There is a moral responsibility of the State of Israel to bring them home & time is running out.

The video released now of 3 women hostages shows that they are alive and not wounded. Their call to Netanyahu is aimed at public pressure on Israel to make the deal-all hostages for all prisoners. According to unpublished polls Israel public opinion is changing. Hostages first.

I am hoping for what I call “a Belfast moment.” I am referring to the time when we, the civilians, not our governments, look around us and see all the death and destruction and say: No More. ENOUGH!!!

The day after tomorrow

The process of rebuilding and creating a new reality will have to be done by the people – with new leadership on both sides
