In the shadows of the joy sweeping Israel over the return of 20 living hostages taken by Hamas, outrage erupted over the failure of Hamas to return the bodies of all those who died since they were taken after the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists.

Only four of 28 bodies held by Hamas in Gaza were being returned on Monday, according to ABC News.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz called the action a “failure to meet commitments,” of the first phase of the ceasefire deal brokered by President Donald Trump.

“Any delay or deliberate avoidance will be considered a blatant violation of the agreement and will be responded to accordingly,” Katz said in the statement.

The drums of war are echoing across the Caribbean. U.S. warships patrol the southern sea lanes, and squadrons of F-35s wait on standby in Puerto Rico. Strike lists are reportedly being drafted in Washington. The question is not whether the United States can act but whether it should. And more importantly: Who is the real enemy?

All signs point to Venezuela, long a fixation of neoconservatives who see regime change as a cure-all. For years, some in the Republican Party have argued that Venezuela sits at the center of Latin America’s drug trade and that military action is overdue.

… as RedState reported on Sunday, as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas became a reality, the radical terrorist group faced violent clashes with rival Palestinian militias inside Gaza. Saleh al-Jafarawi, a pro-Hamas, antisemitic social media influencer with more than three million followers, was reportedly killed in one of those clashes.

And on Monday, Rama Duwaji publicly grieved al-Jafarawi’s death on Instagram, posting four broken-heart emojis, and mourning “Beloved Jafarawi,” as she called the radical antisemite.

How fitting for Mamdani, likely the next mayor of New York City, huh? You know — to have a no-doubt loving wife who is apparently at least as radical as he is.

The Palestinian Influencer who was known for his viral social media videos, was killed by an anti-Hamas militia in Gaza.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev on Monday warned U.S. President Donald Trump that the supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine could “end badly” for him.

Medvedev, who served as Russia’s president from 2008 to 2012, appeared to suggest that Russia might issue a nuclear response if Ukraine receives and fires the long-range rockets at targets inside Russia.

“The supply of these missiles could end badly for everyone. First and foremost for Trump,” Medvedev wrote in a post on Telegram after the American president repeated his own threat of supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Russia does not agree to end the war.

Monday was a day of rejoicing, of gratitude. For the families and friends of the 20 last living hostages freed after two years of hell, it was a day of fully breathing once again. The hostage release came as a very good sign that Hamas, the genocidal monsters responsible for the devastating two-year war with Israel, could at least come through on a principle term in a long sought ceasefire.

“This is the day the Lord has made known to us, and we will rejoice in it,” Zvika Mor, father of Eitan Mor, said after reuniting with his hostage son, according to reporting by the Times of Israel.

Peace is suddenly a real promise for this war-ravaged portion of the Middle East.

According to the detractors, the Cartel of the Suns doesn’t exist. Killing drug traffickers is a war crime. The U.S., they argue, should relinquish its regional leadership and pursue ostrich diplomacy.

In this context of retorts and recriminations, the Trump administration is not giving up or giving in. On the contrary, it is determined to track, kill and destroy the drug cartels. This isn’t propaganda; it’s a promise being fulfilled in real time.

Longtime CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour offered a lengthy apology for comments comparing the treatment of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas and the plight of the residents in the Gaza Strip.

Amanpour was reporting on the historic peace deal negotiated by President Donald Trump for Hamas to return hostages to Israel, both living and the remains of the dead. Even critics of the president have had to acknowledge his efforts to secure peace.

‘I regret also saying that they may have been treated better than many Gazans because Hamas used these hostages as pawns and bargaining chips.’

It’s been a very busy 36 hours for President Donald Trump. He brought peace to the Middle East. Once again, he trounced his doubters, ended the war in Gaza, and got Hamas to release the rest of the Israeli hostages taken during the October 7 attack two years ago. The remains of captives murdered by Hamas will also be returned.

The president addressed the Knesset and later flew to Egypt to make this ceasefire agreement, which Trump pitched at the end of September, official. As with anything relating to the president of the United States, he wasn’t on schedule, though this was intentional. Trump stuck around a little longer to meet with the families of the hostages.

DJI fights U.S. government classification as ‘Chinese military company,’ appeals ruling– mashable.com

DJI is continuing to fight the U.S. government’s classification of it as a “Chinese military company,” filing an appeal in its unsuccessful lawsuit against the Department of Defense (DoD, recently renamed the Department of War).

In a ruling against DJI last month, a U.S. district court allowed the DoD’s designation of the Chinese drone manufacturer as a “Chinese military company” to stand. Despite disagreeing with the DoD’s allegation that DJI is “indirectly owned by the Chinese Communist Party,” the judge determined that there is evidence that the company does contribute to the “Chinese defence industrial base,” as drones are of substantial use in military contexts.

An emergency vote on Israel’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest has been called off following developments in the Middle East, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has said.

Contest organisers had scheduled “an extraordinary meeting of [its] general assembly to be held online” in early November after several countries said they would no longer take part in Eurovision if Israel participated.

The EBU said in a statement that following “recent developments in the Middle East” the executive board had agreed on Monday that there should be an in-person discussion among members “on the issue of participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026”.

The European Union is edging closer to agreeing on new sanctions on Russia, the 19th round since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago, but two EU member states are still holding out before giving the green light. And perhaps surprisingly the perennial EU sanctions skeptic Hungary isn’t one of them. Instead, it is Austria and Slovakia that are hesitant to endorse the package — and their issues aren’t related to the proposed measures against Moscow at all. Bratislava has concerns about EU energy policy, as well as the future of Slovakia’s automotive industry.

Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” that no one could expect former President Joe Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken “to go off quietly” after he claimed President Donald Trump “built on” the former administration’s Israel-Hamas plan.

On Wednesday, Trump secured a historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas, just a day after the anniversary of the war that began on Oct. 7, 2023, under the Biden administration. Guest host Kayleigh McEnany read Blinken’s tweet aloud, noting that it made her “bristle.”

“Well, it doesn’t make me bristle. Look, the entire Democratic left wing is out of touch with reality and verges on crazy. Blinken is part of that group. Why would you think that he has any realistic sense of what happened?” Gingrich asked.

The Dutch government has taken control of Nexperia, a Chinese-owned chipmaker based in the Netherlands, in a bid to safeguard the European supply of semiconductors for cars and other electronic goods and protect Europe’s economic security.

The Hague said it took the decision due to “serious governance shortcomings” and to prevent the chips from becoming unavailable in an emergency.

Nexperia’s owner Wingtech said on Monday that it would take actions to protect its rights and would seek government support.

The development threatens to raise tensions between the European Union and China, which have increased in recent months over trade and Beijing’s relationship with Russia.

In a lengthy X post, Blinken argued that the ceasefire was only made possible due to previous efforts undertaken by the Biden Administration. The former secretary noted that key regional partners like Turkey and Qatar have said “enough” to Hamas, adding that Iran-backed groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen have been effectively de-fanged.

The Gaza Peace Plan Appears Finalized

pgnewser October 9, 2025 0

After both Hamas and Israel publicly declared the agreement with President Donald Trump’s brokered peace deal, hopes were high in both Gaza and Israel that the brutal war was really over. Hamas and Israel are both moving forward, so far, on schedule with the first phase of the deal, the handing over of hostages, dead and alive, to Israel, and the handing over of prisoners to Hamas. The next step is the creation of an international body, the “Board of Peace” that will administer the region initially during the transition.

President Trump announced he was “very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace.”

What’s in Trump’s Gaza peace deal? Here are the details so far 

from globalnews.ca

Blurb:

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, a ceasefire and hostage deal that could be a first step toward ending a two-year-old conflict that has roiled the Middle East.

Here are some details of what is known and not known so far:

The agreement on the initial stage of Trump’s 20-point framework resulted from indirect talks in Egypt, a day after the second anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel that triggered Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Trump announced that both Israel and Hamas had signed off on the first phase of the plan and this would bring the release of all hostages, alive and dead, “very soon” and the withdrawal of Israeli troops to the so-called yellow line in Gaza. According to a senior Israeli security source, that is a boundary for an initial Israeli pullback under the Trump plan.

Hamas confirmed it had reached an agreement to end the conflict, that includes an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a hostage-prisoner exchange, but the group called on Trump and guarantor states to ensure Israel fully implements the ceasefire.

Marco Rubio fires State Dept official caught in romance with CCP affiliate who ‘could have been a spy’: OMG

from thepostmillennial.com

Blurb:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has fired a State Department Foreign Service officer who admitted in an undercover video from O’Keefe Media Group, that he had a romantic relationship with a woman linked to the Chinese Communist Party.

A statement from the State Department confirmed that Daniel Choi, a Foreign Service officer, was terminated following presidential approval from Donald Trump.
“Today, after Presidential review and approval, the Secretary of State has terminated a Foreign Service Officer (FSO) who concealed a romantic relationship with a Chinese national with ties to the Chinese Communist Party,” the department said.

The statement noted that under an executive order, “all officers or employees charged with implementing the foreign policy of the United States must under Article II do so under the direction and authority of the president. Failure to faithfully implement the president’s policy is grounds for professional discipline, including separation.”

A State Department spokesperson told O’Keefe Media Group that this is the first time in US history a dismissal of this kind has occurred.

In the undercover recording, Choi admitted to knowingly violating security protocols by hiding his relationship with a senior Chinese Communist Party official’s daughter.

“I defied my government for love,” Choi said in the video.

“Her dad was, like, either a provincial or a federal minister of education,” he continued. “So he’s like, straight up Communist party.”

China and Taiwan: A really simple guide

WW3 fears as Taiwan readies ‘porcupine strategy’ to fend off China invasion | World | News– www.express.co.uk

An invasion of Taiwan by China could leave the world on the brink of World War 3, a military expert has warned. Former intelligence officer Philip Ingram explained how Taiwan is preparing to defend itself using its so-called ‘porcupine strategy’, while warning war between the two Asian nations could “ignite an even greater conflict” than that seen in Ukraine, where he described “the world’s attention is fixed”.

China has the largest military in the world, and US intelligence has previously suggested Xi Jinping has ordered his forces to be ready for a possible invasion of Taiwan as soon as 2027. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory, viewing the self-ruled island nation as a breakaway province, and has not ruled out seizing it by force. Beijing has been rapidly advancing its military capabilities in recent years, with Russia allegedly also supplying the country with weaponry.

Mr Ingram, a military intelligence expert, said Beijing views Taiwan as “destiny”, while for the US “it’s a red line”.

In the latest episode of The Sun’s Battle Plans Exposed, Mr Ingram detailed how Taiwan — which is around 100 miles off China’s south-east coast — would use its porcupine strategy to defend itself.

He said the strategy, also known as asymmetric defence, does not aim to defeat China in a traditional war but “to make an invasion so difficult, so costly and so bloody that Beijing is deterred from ever attempting it”.
