From Ian:

Arab plan for Gaza ignores Palestinians’ failed quest to destroy Israel
In short, the Arab plan for Gaza is an insult to the intelligence of U.S. and Israeli administrations. Both will dismiss this proposal out of hand and proceed bearing in mind the Palestinians’ genocidal ambitions.

Any reconstruction plan must address Hamas’s culpability and defeat. At a minimum, Arab leaders must acknowledge the basic facts of Gaza’s plight: It is Hamas that started and continued this war, not Israel. Most of Gaza has been reduced to rubble. The Hamas remnant alone can end this war—and more deaths of its people—if they want to, by freeing the remaining hostages, disarming and surrendering. Instead, the Arab proposal embarrasses itself by not mentioning Hamas once, nor the savage Oct. 7 attack. The closest the Arab plan comes to acknowledging Hamas is a paragraph that understatedly notes, “The issue of multiple armed Palestinian factions remains challenging.” Did the Arab diplomats think no one would notice these shameful omissions?

The cause of the war was not the Palestinians’ lack of an independent state. The Arab proposal argues that the war is “undeniable evidence of the need to redouble efforts to achieve a just settlement that preserves the Palestinian people’s legitimate right to an independent state … .” If anything, the war provides undeniable evidence that the Palestinians should not have a country of their own. The Palestinians had de facto independence in Gaza since 2005, when Israel fully withdrew from the enclave. Not one Israeli civilian or soldier was left. The Palestinians could have turned Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East years before Trump envisioned it. Instead, they turned it into a terrorist base to attack Israel. In short, this war happened precisely because the Palestinians did have an independent state.

Hamas didn’t attack Israel because they wanted a two-state solution. They attacked because the terror group seeks a single Palestinian Arab state encompassing all of Israel, governed under strict Islamic Sharia law. For Hamas and many Palestinians, the conflict with Israel is religious, not political. They believe that no infidels (non-Muslims) can control an inch of what they view as Muslim land. No wonder the Palestinians have rejected every offer of a two-state solution since the 1947 U.N. Partition Plan.

Preventing emigration from Gaza tortures the Palestinians and perpetuates the conflict. The Arab plan is a recommitment to the decades-old Arab practice of using the Palestinians as pawns against Israel. The Arabs have historically wanted Palestinians to exercise their “right of return,” flooding Israel with Palestinian Arabs, eliminating Israel’s Jewish majority and therefore the Jewish state itself. The Arab plan calls for Palestinians in Gaza to remain perpetual refugees in what is now a wasteland, rather than seek a better life elsewhere. The main reason the Arabs opposed Trump’s plan initially is that it would allow Palestinians to leave Gaza, which would end their perpetual refugee status and prevent their exploitation as fodder to die fighting Israel.

The Arab proposal for Gaza’s reconstruction is a recipe for continuing a cycle of disaster: Hamas attacks Israel, Israel defends itself, Gaza is devastated, the “international community” pours billions of dollars into rebuilding the enclave, Hamas uses this aid to rebuild its terrorist infrastructure and attack Israel anew. Rinse and repeat.

The United States, Israel and all Western allies would be best served by opposing the Arab plan because it fails to address the root cause of Gaza’s destruction, let alone the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in general, which is the obsessive determination of Palestinians to eliminate Israel and the Jewish people.
JPost Editorial: The world must finally recognize Hamas's tactics as manipulation
Israel won't let Hamas make the rules
Israel has no obligation to allow Hamas to dictate the battlefield. The era in which Hamas could launch attacks, retreat under the cover of a ceasefire, and then reemerge stronger must come to an end. With the backing of its allies, Israel must continue to pressure Hamas until it is no longer capable of threatening its citizens.

Hamas’s dwindling list of allies should serve as a warning to its leadership. Iran, often its most vocal supporter, has strategically distanced itself, wary of the consequences of its continued sponsorship of regional terrorism. “If Tehran is not careful, it will wake up to find all its proxies have had their wings clipped – then they become a liability instead of an asset,” Seth J. Frantzman of The Jerusalem Post wrote on Tuesday.

The Houthis and Hezbollah, once eager to join the fight, now find themselves constrained by their own battles and US military pressure. Hamas stands increasingly isolated, yet it remains committed to a strategy that will only bring more destruction to Gaza and suffering to its own people.

Where the new strikes go is still up in the air. Israel has a lot of choices. Israel’s actions in Gaza have received support from the Trump administration. Meanwhile, the Arab nations have supported an Egyptian rehabilitation plan for Gaza. But those states are also dealing with other problems.

“There are the US strikes on the Houthis as well as Syria’s tensions with Hezbollah in Lebanon,” Frantzman explained on Tuesday.

Israel’s objective is clear: ensure that Hamas can no longer function as an organized terrorist entity. This requires sustained military pressure, strategic strikes, and a refusal to engage in futile negotiations that only serve to prolong Hamas’ grip on power. The world must recognize Hamas’ tactics for what they are – a desperate attempt to stall, deceive, and survive at the expense of peace.

Israel has no obligation to play along.
Seth Frantzman: Hamas calls for global siege on US, Israeli embassies, Iran reveals
Hamas is now seeking “immediate pressure on both the [Israeli] regime and its key ally, the United States, to halt the ongoing military onslaught.”

The terror group said that “the fascist occupation government has resumed its barbaric aggression and genocide war against our people in Gaza, violating all human norms, values, and divine laws during the holy month of Ramadan.”

Hamas had been seeking a Ramadan ceasefire and hoped that it could stall talks with Israel throughout March while not releasing hostages. Israel gave Hamas two weeks of this ceasefire without anything in return before resuming airstrikes.

The terror group now wants to try to mobilize activists abroad to put pressure on the US and Israel. “The statement also encouraged demonstrators to raise Palestinian flags and mobilize resources in support of, what it underlined was, the legitimate rights of Palestinians to freedom, independence, and an end to a simultaneous stifling blockade that the regime was enforcing against the coastal sliver,” Press TV said.

Iran’s state media, IRNA, said that in New York, “thousands of people have taken to the streets of Manhattan, New York City, protesting against the renewed Israeli air campaign against Gaza and the United States’ support for it.”

This appears to be part of the Hamas global campaign. “Protesters on Tuesday marched through Times Square while holding up signs and chanting slogans against the war and in solidarity with the Palestinian people,” IRNA claimed.


Jim Jordan: Israel stands ‘in a category all by themselves’ among U.S. allies
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), an influential member of the conservative wing of the House Republican Conference, said in an interview with Jewish Insider last week that Israel stands in a unique place among U.S. allies and that the U.S. should always be ready to assist Jerusalem when it needs help.

Asked after a recent trip to Israel about potential additional avenues for Congress to support Israel, including future aid packages, Jordan described Israel as “in a category all by themselves.”

“When they need help, we should be helping Israel because there’s this special bond that exists between the Jewish people and Americans, and Israel and the United States. It’s just a special relationship. And a lot of it is because of the Judeo-Christian connection and heritage that we have,” he continued.

The Ohio Republican, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, helped found the right-wing Freedom Caucus in 2015, and went on to gain influence and support across the GOP conference.

Johnson was nominated three times for House speaker during the protracted Oct. 2023 speakership fight, but Republicans later withdrew the nomination amid continued opposition from some Republican moderates and pragmatists. Jordan, an ally of President Donald Trump, is seen as still having House leadership ambitions.

While he’s a skeptic of aid to Ukraine, Jordan has voted consistently in favor of U.S. aid to Israel, even as a group of Freedom Caucus members, including the group’s then-chairman, opposed U.S. aid to Israel last year unless paired with other funding cuts. Jordan also voted in favor of U.S. aid to Taiwan.

Jordan led a delegation of House Republicans to Israel last month, his first visit to the Jewish state since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Jordan said that the “resiliency of the Jewish people and the miracle that is the nation of Israel” was all the more evident during this visit, particularly when the group visited the sites of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, massacres.

“The other big takeaway for me was just how different the Middle East is now” due to Israel’s operations against Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran and the fall of Assad in Syria, Jordan added. “It was just a terrible tragedy what happened on the 7th of October a year and a half ago, but since then, there’s been a change, and I feel like Israel’s in a stronger position now.”


Israel Accused of ‘Shattering’ Gaza Ceasefire—By the Same Media That Admitted It Had Already Expired
Overnight on Monday, the Israel Defense Forces resumed military operations against Hamas in Gaza, striking targets across the Strip and ordering the evacuation of civilians from at-risk areas.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the U.S. had been consulted on Israel’s plans, stating: “As President Trump has made clear—Hamas, the Houthis, Iran, all those who seek to terrorize not just Israel but also the United States, will see a price to pay. All hell will break loose,” she told Fox News.

Her remarks confirmed what negotiators in Washington and Jerusalem had already stated: efforts to extend the previous ceasefire deal—agreed upon in January and expired on March 1—had failed, as Hamas refused to accept the terms.

President Donald Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, had earlier reiterated that Hamas’ disarmament was a prerequisite for any long-term ceasefire: “A starter is Hamas demilitarizing, not rearming—leaving all their arms on the ground and leaving Gaza. We need a deadline for the second phase. The way the hostages are being held is unacceptable.”

A Permanent Ceasefire That Never Was
The ceasefire agreed to in January was never a permanent arrangement. It was a phased ceasefire, with an initial stage that included hostage-prisoner exchanges, humanitarian aid to Gaza, and a provision for further negotiations—negotiations that were supposed to begin 16 days into the first phase but never materialized.

Critically, the second phase—which neither Hamas nor Israel agreed to—was where the possibility of a permanent ceasefire would have been discussed. It never happened.

The media seemed to understand this just two weeks ago.

On March 3, the BBC reported: “Since 1 March, when stage one expired, the ceasefire has been in limbo. Stage two has not begun, and both sides are digging their heels in.”

Wire services—Reuters, Associated Press, and AFP—reported on March 2 that Israel was blocking aid “after first phase of ceasefire deal expire[d].”

CNN, NBC News, and Sky News also acknowledged that the ceasefire had expired.

Yet, remarkably, these same outlets are now accusing Israel of violating a supposed permanent ceasefire by launching strikes in Gaza.

Palestinians push ICC alternative probe of Israel at U.N. Human Rights Council
The Palestinian Authority has been pushing the United Nations Human Rights Council to establish a mechanism to help foreign countries and the International Criminal Court prosecute Israelis after the Trump administration sanctioned the court.

The Palestinian representatives circulated a draft resolution in Geneva on Tuesday, ahead of a vote likely to take place at the end of the UNHRC’s current session, on April 3 or 4.

The 10-page draft resolution, viewed by Jewish Insider, would “establish an ongoing international investigative mechanism … to assist in the investigation and prosecution of persons responsible for the most serious crimes under international law committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.”

The forms of assistance would include “to collect, consolidate, preserve, and analyze evidence of violations of international law and human rights violations and abuses, and to prepare case files in order to facilitate and expedite fair and independent criminal proceedings.”

The new mechanism would work in cooperation with the existing open-ended UNHRC commission of inquiry on Israeli treatment of the Palestinians. The commission’s panelists have a history of antisemitic statements and inflammatory remarks against Israel, and they accused Israel of genocide last year. The COI’s mandate already allows it to gather evidence for legal cases, which it can continue doing in perpetuity, such that it was not immediately clear what novel authorities the new mechanism would provide the body.

The funding for the investigation would come from voluntary contributions, the resolution states.
Israeli envoy rips ‘feigned concern’ about Gaza at UNSC
Israel’s deputy U.N. ambassador Jonathan Miller on Tuesday criticized United Nations Security Council members for what he called the “weaponization” of concern regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip.

During a UNSC session to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Miller told council members it was time for the international community to take seriously the commitment to secure the freedom of the remaining hostages being held in the Strip.

The purpose of the meeting, called by Algeria and Somalia, and supported by China, France, Guyana, Pakistan and Slovenia, was “not to seek truth, but to indulge the political agenda of certain members of the council,” he said. “Any discussion of humanitarian suffering that does not begin with the release of the hostages is not an honest discussion,” he added.

Israel decided on March 2 to halt the entry of aid into Gaza, citing Hamas’s refusal to accept a proposal by U.S. special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to extend the first phase of a multi-phase ceasefire agreement.

Israel conducted a series of airstrikes overnight Monday, killing a number of senior Hamas officials. The terrorist group claims over 400 people died.

Miller noted on Tuesday that despite the ban on the entry of aid to the Strip, there was no shortage of food. Some 25,000 aid trucks entered Gaza over the six weeks of truce, along with fuel and other supplies, he said.

“The massive amounts of humanitarian aid which Israel coordinated and facilitated—at least those amounts which have not been seized by Hamas, have reached every segment of Gaza’s population—with one tragic exception: the hostages,” said Miller.

Dorothy Shea, chargé d’affaires ad interim for the U.S. mission to the United Nations, said on Tuesday that “the blame for the resumption of hostilities lies solely with Hamas.”

The terrorist group “[prefers] still to hold hostages captive and hide amongst the people of Gaza, using them as human shields. It is the people of Gaza who will suffer further because of Hamas’s disregard for human life,” she said.

She made the remarks after Tom Fletcher, U.N. under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, called Israel’s blockade of aid “unconscionable.”

Fletcher also noted that the United Nations has only been able to fund four percent of what it says is needed for its humanitarian response.


Israel ‘outraged’ by UN chief’s ‘moral bankruptcy’
Israel on Tuesday sharply criticized United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, after he condemned Israel’s airstrikes on Hamas targets in Gaza overnight Monday.

“We are outraged that you are the secretary-general of the United Nations,” tweeted Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein.

“Not a word about Hamas rejecting two ceasefire extensions [that] Israel accepted. Not a word about Hamas exploiting humanitarian aid or UNRWA employing terrorists. Indeed, we are outraged by your moral bankruptcy,” he said, referring to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.

Guterres had some two hours earlier stated he was “outraged by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza,” calling for a renewed ceasefire, uninterrupted aid and the unconditional release of hostages.

The latest clash follows a series of tensions between Israel and Guterres, who previously angered Israeli officials by stating Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack “did not happen in a vacuum.” Israel has accused him of bias, pointing to his decision to exclude Hamas from a U.N. list of entities accused of sexual violence, while later blacklisting Israel alongside Russia and terrorist organizations.


Swiss Parliament Committee Votes to Defund UNRWA
After the Swiss Parliament invited Hillel Neuer to present UN Watch's dossier proving UNRWA's complicity with Hamas terrorism, the Foreign Affairs Committee voted 7-6 to defund. The motion now goes to the plenary for a vote on March 18, 2025.


UNRWA's ex-staff union chief calls for “every Muslim to rise up” in “resistance”
Suhail al-Hindi, the former head of UNRWA's staff union in Gaza, Suhail al-Hindi, is calling on “every Muslim” from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic, “to rise up for Palestine and for Gaza.” UNRWA was pressured to remove Al-Hindi after it was revealed that he was elected to the Hamas Political Bureau. The long-time UNRWA teacher, school principal and union chief now operates for Hamas from Turkey, and plays a key leadership role in the terrorist organization. Al-Hindi continues to be closely involved with UNRWA affairs.

IDF denies striking UN facility in central Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday denied reports that it had struck a United Nations compound in the central Gaza Strip’s Deir al-Balah area.

“The IDF calls on media outlets to act with caution regarding unverified reports,” the military clarified in an English-language statement on X.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by the Hamas terrorist group, had claimed that an Israeli Air Force strike had killed one U.N. employee and wounded five others.

According to the Hamas statement, which was echoed by Reuters and other global news outlets, the slain U.N. staffer was a foreign national.

A spokeswoman for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)—which has employed staff members with Hamas ties—did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


Aid Workers or Terrorists? The Truth Behind the “British Charity”
Last week, the IDF conducted a successful operation, eliminating eight terrorists, including individuals who infiltrated Israel on October 7 and Palestinian prisoners recently released in the hostage exchange deal. This was a clear victory for those who seek a world free from terrorism. However, Western media coverage of the event tells a different story.



Many outlets like Sky News, BBC, Washington Post and others barely mentioned the IDF’s account, burying it in brief paragraphs while prioritizing alternative narratives. As expected, Hamas officials were among the primary sources either under the disguise of neutral terms “civil defense authorities in Gaza,” “the head of Gaza civil defense” or directly. For example, Sky News ran the headline: “Nine Palestinians killed, including three journalists, in Israeli airstrike, Gaza health ministry says.” Compare that to what could have been a more accurate headline: “Eight terrorists, including October 7 infiltrators, killed.” Also, while Sky News openly cites Hamas (the so-called Gaza Health Ministry) as a credible source, other media don’t, ensuring that headline readers absorb Hamas’ version as fact.

A second, more elusive source in this case was a “London-based aid organization,” which some outlets avoided naming altogether.
Washington Post: “Israeli strikes kill eight aid workers in Gaza, British charity says.”
BBC: “Aid workers killed in Israeli air strike in Gaza, charity tells BBC.”
Sky News: “An NGO says six volunteers were ‘deliberately targeted’ while delivering aid.”
NPR: “Israeli strikes in Gaza kill 9, including aid workers and journalists.”

The organization in question? The Al-Khair Foundation — an international Muslim aid NGO based in the UK and Turkey. Not a single major outlet noted its religious affiliation, which would at least have questioned whether this NGO is a neutral and impartial entity.

Here’s the Al-Khair Foundation’s official statement:
It is with deep sadness and regret that we report the tragic loss of eight dedicated humanitarian aid workers in Gaza. The individuals, who were part of a relief mission, lost their lives in a drone airstrike that occurred despite an agreed ceasefire being in place. <…> we categorically refute any claims that those who were killed had any links to militant activities or connections with Hamas. These individuals were solely engaged in humanitarian work, striving to provide essential aid to those affected by the ongoing crisis.

This statement became the basis for media claims that those killed were aid workers. Yet, just hours later, the IDF published names and photos of six of the deceased, confirming their affiliations with Hamas. Among them:
Mahmoud Yahya Rashdi Al-Sarraj—terrorist in Hamas’ engineering unit.
Bilal Mahmoud Fouad Abu Matar—Hamas terrorist operating under the cover of a photographer.
Mahmoud Imad Hassan Aslim—terrorist in Hamas’ Zeitoun Battalion, posing as a journalist.


IDF soldiers retake part of Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed on Wednesday that its ground troops had taken back control from Hamas of parts of the Netzarim Corridor, which divides the northern Gaza Strip from its south.

“During the last 24 hours, IDF forces began a focused ground operation in the central and southern Gaza Strip with the aim of expanding the security zone and creating a partial barrier between the northern and southern parts of the Strip,” the IDF stated, confirming local reports.

As part of the renewed ground operation, soldiers “took control and extended their control back to the center of the Netzarim Corridor.”

The army has also called up soldiers of its elite Golani Brigade “to be on standby to operate in the Gaza Strip,” according to the IDF statement.

Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz warned Gazans earlier on Wednesday that “total destruction” would be coming unless the remaining 59 hostages are returned and Hamas terrorists are swiftly removed from power.

“The first Sinwar destroyed Gaza,” Katz said in a Hebrew-language message to Gaza’s residents, referencing slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who launched the terror organization’s Oct. 7, 2023, cross-border massacre. “The second Sinwar will completely destroy it.”

“The Air Force attack against Hamas terrorists was just the first step. The continuation will be much harder; you will pay the full price,” he vowed.

“Return the hostages and remove Hamas—the alternative is complete destruction and devastation. If all the Israeli hostages are not released and Hamas is not removed from Gaza, Israel will act with forces you have never encountered before,” warned Israel’s defense minister.

Ask Haviv Anything: Extra Episode: Back to war in Gaza
Warfighting has resumed in Gaza. Israel's message is clear: Gaza's future depends on Hamas releasing hostages and surrendering its control of the territory.

But there is a larger pivot underway, a regional strategic realignment. Hamas once hoped its attack on Israel would trigger a broader regional war. In a sense, it succeeded, relegating Gaza to a marginal arena in the larger strategic struggle. That alone, gives Israel a freer hand to resume war whenever it wants. Hamas is now truly strategically alone.

Thank you to Joe and Shira Lieberman for sponsoring this episode in honor of those we lost on October 7th.

Hamas' ceasefire breaches led to airstrike attacks on Gaza: Douglas Murray
Author Douglas Murray argues that Hamas “repeatedly breaking” phase one of the ceasefire agreement led to the airstrike attacks on Gaza.

“It's sort of par for the course, unfortunately. Hamas has repeatedly broken its side of the deals in stage one of the ceasefire agreement,” Mr Murray said.

“On top of the war crimes that Hamas committed by abducting and torturing, killing Israeli citizens, it's of course continued to commit war crimes during this phase of the ceasefire deal.

“Phase two of the ceasefire deal, by the way, has always been a problem because it requires Hamas to hand over all the remaining hostages … and for Israeli troops to withdraw completely from Gaza.

“There is therefore a likelihood inevitability that Hamas would continue to rule or misgovern Gaza, which is intolerable to the Israelis.

“You just can't allow Hamas to remain in power, the Israelis can't.”




‘Exposed’: Islamophobia Register director’s ‘highly offensive’ remarks on Zionists
Sky News host Sharri Markson exposes a Director of the Islamophobia Register Hilal Yaseen for spreading “highly offensive” remarks about Zionists supporting Israel.

“Tonight, we can expose a director of the Islamophobia Register spreading highly offensive messages about Zionists, and that is Jews who support Israel,” Ms Markson said.

“The Islamophobia Register came out a few days ago and it made major news … they received $1.1 million in funding from the Australian government last year … one of their directors of the Islamophobia Register is Hilal Yaseen … despite being concerned about one form of racism, he said highly offensive things about Zionists, Jews who support Israel.”


Wild scenes as Sydney nurses charged over allegedly threatening Israeli patients leave court
Wild scenes unfolded on Wednesday as two Sydney nurses charged over allegedly threatening Israeli patients faced court for the first time.

Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 26, and Ahmad Rashad Nadir, 27, were stood down from their jobs at Bankstown Hospital on February 12 after a video emerged of the pair allegedly making threats against Israeli patients.

The pair, who are both currently on conditional bail, faced Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court for the first time on Wednesday since being charged.

Ms Lebdeh was the first to arrive in court at 9am, joined by an entourage of about 10 people including about eight men dressed in black hoodies, as well as her lawyer Rayan Kadadi.

Mr Nadir turned up about 20 minutes later alongside only his lawyer, Zemarai Khatiz.

During the brief hearing, the prosecution said it was seeking an eight week adjournment for a brief service.

The magistrate adjourned the matter until May 13, with both Ms Lebdeh and Mr Nadir excused from attending court at the next mention.

As Mr Nadir left the court, his lawyer flagged his client will be contesting the charges on the grounds of the video being taken "without" his consent.

"My client will be pleading not guilty to the charges. He will be defending the matter on legal and technical grounds," Mr Khatiz told reporters.

"The video that was captured and recorded, was done without the consent of my client, without his knowledge. And we'll argue for that to be excluded."
