Did Vladimir Putin launch a new offensive in Ukraine as a means to force Kyiv and its Western allies into a cease-fire? Russian forces attacked along the Kharkiv line earlier this month, with only minimal gains but deploying a lot more kinetic force to the offensive nonetheless. Putin also ordered tactical-nuke drills just behind the […]

Hey, would the people who claimed that Israel destroyed the Al-Ahli hospital lie to the media? And would the global media, especially in the US, allow that to happen? Oh, let’s not always see the same hands. Earlier today, I predicted that Hamas would rush back to negotiations after Israel began its Rafah evacuation in order […]
There were negotiations taking place in Cairo on Sunday. The head of the CIA, Bill Burns, met with the head of Israel’s Mossad and intermediaries from Qatar and Egypt. He proposed a new deal which would grant Hamas a six week ceasefire in exchange for a portion of the remaining Israeli hostages. The Israeli officials […]
Oh my. Joe Biden picked this fight, and now he’s going to get it — no matter how useless this UN Security Council resolution actually is.

Well, someone’s lying. Late yesterday, news outlets around the world reported that Hamas had agreed to a “modified” version of the US proposal for a temporary pause in fighting to exchange hostages for prisoners and allow aid into Gaza. As I warned at the time, “modified” could mean a lot of things, even if the source […]
How about go pound sand? Joe Biden, along with other Western allies of Israel, desperately need a pause in the fighting for their own domestic-politics concerns. And so does Israel, which is why they continue to engage negotiations for a hostage deal. But somehow the dynamics of a war started by Hamas and the Gazans […]
Say what? The White House has messaged for months that it desperately wants a cease-fire and negotiations to end war. The fighting kills civilians, and a large number of those captured need to be returned home. Nothing less than a cease-fire and a return to the status quo ante will suffice for Joe Biden and […]
This may be a first signal that the Gazans have had enough of Hamas — and that Hamas can’t hide it with threats any longer. A crowd of mostly Palestinian women and children protested outside the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, in a town roughly halfway between Gaza City and the embattled Khan Younis. […]
