U.S. President Donald Trump, with the help of Hamas’ backers, is turning the Jewish state’s surrender into his “Peace Prize.”
OCT 05, 2025
Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood at the White House, next to U.S. President Donald Trump, and declared:
“I support your plan to end the war in Gaza, which achieves our war aims. It will bring back to Israel all our hostages, dismantle Hamas’s military capabilities, end its political rule, and ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel.”
He told us this plan would “achieve all our war objectives without any further bloodshed.”
This was supposed to be the turning point. The victory speech. Netanyahu told us this was the path to victory. Trump crowned it Netanyahu’s “crowning achievement.”
And then came the switch.
Trump didn’t present this plan as cautious diplomacy. He dressed it up as if it were biblical prophecy fulfilled. His own words:
“This is a big, big day, a beautiful day, potentially one of the great days ever in civilization… after 2,000, 3,000 years, whatever it is.”
This isn’t leadership; it’s narcissistic lunacy. To call a temporary ceasefire and hostage deal “the greatest day in thousands of years” is insane. It shows this was never about Israel’s victory; it was about Trump’s own myth-making.
And the myth-making isn’t for free. Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize. That is what this is all about: personal glory. He is prepared to sacrifice Israel itself for his prize, his “eternal peace,” and his legacy.
By the way, this is the same “Peace Prize” that was once seriously proposed for Hitler himself and has already been awarded to a rogues’ gallery of dishonourable men, including Yasser Arafat, for the Oslo Accords that began the very chain of appeasement and illusion that led us straight to October 7th.
Perhaps this dishonourable prize is indeed fitting for such a dishonourable man.
At the United Nations just days earlier, Netanyahu had promised to “finish the job.” He told the world Hamas would be destroyed. The Israel Defense Forces even broadcast his speech into Gaza by loudspeaker, telling the people they had a last chance to rid themselves of Hamas.
But standing in Washington, he gave it all away. He endorsed a plan cooked not just in the White House, but in Doha, Ankara, Islamabad, and Cairo. Trump bragged about it: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, every one of them backing the plan.
Why would these states, which cheer on Palestinian terror and many of which actively support it, suddenly support a “peace plan” that dismantles Hamas? This is not because it dismantles Hamas, but rather because it dismantles Israel, freezes its momentum, and places Israel’s fate in the Arabs’ hands.
Within days, Trump declared the oxymoron of our time: “Hamas is ready for peace.” He demanded that Israel stop bombing. What Netanyahu sold as victory turned into restraint, delay, and international supervision.
This reminds me of the earlier Trump demand during the Israel-Iran truce: He explicitly told Israel, “do not drop those bombs,” after Iran had already launched missiles that struck Be’er Sheva and killed Israeli civilians. Jets were turned back. As retaliation planes soared, Trump forced Israel’s hand, making us stand down. It is baffling that Netanyahu did not see that coming.
This isn’t victory. This is being played. This is being set up.
And Hamas? They accepted what suited them. They promised hostages “according to the exchange formula … with the necessary field conditions.” They praised Trump’s leadership. They smiled at Qatar and Turkey. Hamas spokesman Musa Abu Marzouk said openly on Al Jazeera: “We will hand over the weapons to the Palestinian state, whoever rules Gaza will hold the weapons.” In other words: Gaza will not be disarmed. Hamas’ guns remain in Gaza until a Palestinian state exists, which means never on Israel’s terms.
Osama Hamdan spelt it out further: “Attempts to remove Hamas from the political scene will not succeed.” “We will not accept foreign forces in Gaza.” “When a Palestinian state is established, the weapons will be at its disposal.”
He even invoked the hostages as leverage, saying corpses are buried in areas where Israeli forces are present, implying that Israeli withdrawals are required just so Hamas can access the bodies. This is not demilitarisation. This is not disarmament. This is a declaration that Hamas remains in power, with weapons intact, until Israel itself is destroyed.
And somehow, we accepted this. Netanyahu told us Hamas would be disarmed under this plan, when Hamas itself told the world it would not. In other words, they will not give up their guns. Not to Trump, not to Netanyahu, not even to Tony Blair. They will only give up their weapons when Israel itself is destroyed and replaced by “Palestine.” And somehow, we accepted this. Netanyahu told us Hamas would be disarmed under this plan, when Hamas itself told the world it would not.
What, then, has been achieved? Not the war aims Netanyahu promised. Not the destruction of Hamas. Not the disarmament of Gaza. What has been achieved is the victory of the hostage movement. This is what the world is celebrating: that the hostages will be freed. And let me say clearly, no war in history has ever been won because hostages were freed. Not one.
We had the hostages on October 6th. Victory is not bringing them back. Victory is making sure the ideology that kidnaps Jews goes extinct. Victory is destroying the idea that kidnapping pays.
But what have we done instead? We have rewarded it. We have proven that kidnapping Israelis works: It brings ceasefires and prestige, and it even brings them back their murderers. We have taken the deepest humiliation of October 7th and enshrined it as the definition of “peace.”
This is the result of Israel making the return of the hostages the most important issue. This is not a victory. It is defeat, surrender, sacrifice.
Where is the justice for all those who died needlessly on October 7th? What about the soldiers who gave their lives and who have spent almost two years now fighting? What about the Israelis who put their lives, their bodies, their livelihoods, and their economic futures at risk to defend their homeland?
Think of every parent who buried a child after October 7th. Think of the soldiers who marched into tunnels, the ones who never came home, the ones who came home mangled and broken. Are their deaths being paid for with the cheap currency of a photo op, a “hostage deal,” and the promise of someone else’s peace prize? This isn’t just impractical. It is profoundly immoral. It is a betrayal of every life spent defending this country.
We have been down this rabbit hole before, the Oslo Accords and the illusions of “recognition” used as moral cover, the appeasement dressed as diplomacy. Each step emboldened the enemy; each concession normalised the abnormal. Each time we surrendered moral clarity for the promise of normalisation, the price rose. We rewarded terror with legitimacy, and now the process that began decades ago has delivered us to this carnage.
The only way out is to stop the loop of suicide. We must stop rewarding the kidnapping of our children. We must stop pretending that normalisation with regimes that bankroll or excuse terror is a fair trade for our survival. We must stop sacrificing our boys so that others can write themselves into history books and collect prizes. Our first allegiance must be to our people, our dead, our soldiers, our children. We must stand for justice first, not spectacles. We must demand accountability for every life lost, not deals that let the perpetrators go home with their guns and their prestige.
This is one of the most important reasons Israel was founded: to be a refuge, to defend a people who could not otherwise survive. We seem to have forgotten that. We are paying the price now, in blood and dignity. If we do not reclaim justice as our policy, there will be nothing left of Zionism but a museum exhibit and a burnt blue and white flag.
This is the result of all these delegations to Qatar and all the “mediations” that have kept our enemies in business. This is the result of all those “Surrender Now” protests every week, the emotional spectacles, and the vice-signalling. This is the result of surrendering the moral high ground to emotionalists who’d rather spill out their feelings on camera than use their brains. This is the result of this nation’s emotional state. We end up sacrificing tomorrow for the present; we choose optics over outcomes.
Wars are not won with exchange deals. They are won with the enemy’s unconditional surrender. Don’t forget it. If they are setting the terms and conditions, we are not the winners. Anyone who tries to sell this as a victory is a liar.
We must challenge this with all our power. We must talk to ministers, to Knesset members, to anyone who will listen. We must go on the streets if we must. We must use the internet, write, call, and organise. Show your voice. If we do not act now, maybe we will never be able to in the future. Fight with words, with votes, with presence, with everything legally possible.
This is relevant for the entire world. The response from the Muslim Brotherhood makes the global consequence explicit. They celebrate this as a model and a school for future action. In their message, translated below, they say:
“Hamas has mastered the art of military combat and the art of international political combat. … This is a qualitative leap for Hamas and a new school of struggle that will be studied by future generations. We are with the resistance. … They were right when they fired the first shot.”
This is not a fringe reaction. This is instruction and propaganda. It shows that our enemies see this not as a setback but as a template: combine terror, kidnappings, and relentless lobbying until the world rewrites the rules for you. They will teach this to recruits, to movements, to confused allies and to a sympathetic media.
If our deal becomes their curriculum, then the consequences are horrific and immediate: more attacks, more kidnappings, and more global celebration of our humiliation. This is not an unintended side effect; it is the foreseeable reaction of a movement that reads victory differently than we do. They do not see the return of hostages as a cost; they see it as proof that the method works.
This deal effectively sanctions the kidnapping of every Jew all over the world!
Tragically, Israel is a nation on the brink of suicide.
It has become a nation that begs its enemies for surrender — a nation that, by definition, cannot win. It is a nation whose leaders broadcast targets in advance and tell its enemies where to go to avoid being hurt. It is a nation that cannot even name its own enemy. It is a nation that confuses defeat with victory, self-sacrifice with morality. It is a nation so morally inverted that it feeds its own enemy while starving its own people of the justice they deserve; it calls itself “the most moral army in the world,” the “virtue” of sacrificing its heroic soldiers for the appeasement of the BBC.
It is a nation whose leader surrenders its independence to the whims of foreign powers.
And worst of all, it is a nation whose people cheer as this happens, mistaking submission for salvation. This is not merely a mistake. This is a path to suicide. And the time bomb, from the moment this deal is inked, will begin ticking until the next October 7th. I don’t know how many will die, whether I will survive this, whether you will survive this, or how many people will be taken hostage.
This is fundamentally the responsibility of our prime minister, whose leadership has failed to prevent this from happening. Look at what is going on around the world: the massacre at a synagogue in Manchester just a few days ago and the celebratory protests that followed in England. Jews everywhere are in greater danger than at any time since World War II. This is not an accident. This global rot is connected to the erosion of our moral clarity.
The Palestinians got a state. They got international recognition. All over the world, people support them and cheer for them. And we, we sign our own death warrant. That is what is happening now, not just in Gaza but globally.
This is where we have come; this is how far we have fallen.
They get their murderers back from our prisons. They keep their weapons. They keep their ideology. As Abu Marzouk said plainly: “Whoever rules Gaza will hold the weapons.”
And what do we get? We get back our own people, half alive, severely traumatised, while they get everything. We gain nothing. We reward terror. We prove to the world that October 7th works.
It is truly beyond belief. And yet here we are.
We are being set up. We are baited by promises and myth-making. We are accepting a framework that turns justice into theatre and hands the initiative to the very people who attacked us. This is not a mistake. It is a choice, a choice made by leadership that values optics and prizes over the survival of our people.
If you want to change this, do not walk away. Do not whisper in the comments and go home. Do something. Talk to your friends, your family, and the Knesset members. Take to the street, write, broadcast, and organise. If not now, when? If not us, who?
Before it’s too late (it’s not), fight. Fight for whatever is left of Zionism. Fight for victory defined on our terms, not on the altar of someone else’s prize.
If you will it, it is no dream.
Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) Guide for the Perplexed, 2025 Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger
October 5, 2025
1. Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles (evening of October 6 – October 13, 2025) derives its name from the first stop of the Exodus – the town of Sukkot – as documented in Exodus 13:20-22 and Numbers 33:3-5. Sukkot was also the name of Jacob’s first stop west of the Jordan River, upon returning to the Land of Israel from his 20 years of work for Laban in Aram (Genesis 33:17).
The construction of the Holy Tabernacle, during the Exodus, was launched on the first day of Sukkot (full moon).
2. Sukkot is a Jewish national liberation holiday. It commemorates the transition of the Jewish people from bondage in Egypt to liberty in the Land of Israel, and the sustained Jewish ingathering to the Land of Israel, which inspired the US Founding Fathers and the Abolitionist Movement.
3. Sukkot underscores the gradual transition from the spiritual state-of-mind during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to the mundane, and from religious tenets of Judaism to the formation of the national, historic and geographical Jewish identity.
4. The root of the Hebrew word Sukkot (סוכות) is wholeness and totality (סכ), shelter (סכך) and attentiveness (סכת). The numerical value of סכך (every Hebrew letter has a numerical value) is 100 (ס=60, כ=20, ך=20), representing the totality/unity of the Jewish people, history, roots, education and legacy.
5. Sukkot is the 3rd 3,300-year-old Jewish pilgrimage holiday (following Passover and Shavou’ot/Pentecost). It is also the 3rd major Jewish holiday – following Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur – in the month of Tishrei, the holiest Jewish month. According to Judaism, 3 represents divine wisdom, stability and peace. In addition, the 3rd day of the Creation enjoyed double-blessing: “And God saw that it was good…. and God saw that it was good;” God appeared on Mt. Sinai 3 days after Moses’ ascension of the mountain; there are 3 parts to the Bible (the Torah, Prophets and Writings); there are 3 Jewish Patriarchs; 3 is the total sum of the basic odd (1) and even (2) numbers, symbolizing strength. According to Ecclesiastes 4:12, “a three-strand cord is not quickly broken.”
6. The 7 days of Sukkot – which is celebrated in the 7th Jewish month, Tishrei – are dedicated to 7 supreme guests-in-spirit and notable care-takers (Ushpizin in Aramaic and Hebrew): Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron and David. They were endowed with faith, reality-based-optimism, can-do mentality, humility, magnanimity, principle-driven leadership, compassion, tenacity in the face of daunting odds and peace-through-strength.
7. Sukkot features the following four species (Leviticus 23:39-41): 1 citron (representing King David, the author of Psalms), 1 palm branch (representing Joseph), 3 myrtle branches (representing the three Patriarchs) and 2 willow branches (representing Moses and Aharon, the role models of humility and leadership). They are bound together, representing unity-through-diversity and strength-through-unity.
They embody four leadership prerequisites: a solid backbone (palm branch), humility (willow), a compassionate heart (citron) and penetrating eyes (myrtle).
These species also represent the four agricultural regions of the Land of Israel: the southern Negev and Arava (palm); the slopes of the northern Golan Heights, Upper Galilee and Mt. Carmel (myrtle); the streams of the central mountains of Judea and Samaria, including Jerusalem (willow); and the western coastal plain (citron).
The palm branch, an ancient symbol of victory, was featured in coins from the Maccabean era (from the 2nd century BC through the 1st century AD) and the Bar Kokhba rebellion (132-135 AD). According to the First Book of Maccabees, chapter 13, Simon the Maccabee celebrated the retaking of David’s Citadel in Jerusalem with drums, harps and palm branches.
8. Traditionally, Sukkot is dedicated to the study of the Biblical Scroll of Ecclesiastes (Kohelet, ,קהלת in Hebrew, which was one of King Solomon’s names), written by King Solomon. Ecclesiastes highlights humility, morality, patience, learning from past mistakes, commemoration and historical perspective, family, friendship, long-term thinking, proper timing, realism and knowledge.
The late Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), who was the longest serving US Senator, often quoted Biblical verses, in general, and Ecclesiastes, in particular. For example, on November 7, 2008, upon retirement from the chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Committee, he stated: “’To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven.’ Those Biblical words from Ecclesiastes 3:1 express my feelings about this particular time in my life.” On September 9, 1998, Senator Byrd made the following Senate floor remarks on the Lewinsky affair: “As the book of Ecclesiastes plainly tells us, ‘There is no new thing under the sun.’ Time seems to be turning backwards in its flight. And, many of the mistakes that President Nixon made are being made all over again.”
9. During the holiday of Sukkot, it is customary to highlight humility by experiencing a seven-day-relocation from one’s permanent dwelling to the temporary, humble, wooden booth (Sukkah in Hebrew) – which sheltered the people of Israel during the Exodus.
🟫HAMAS SEMI-ACCEPTS, SOME UNNEEDED PANIC, FLOTILLA DEPORTATIONS
[12:39 PM, 10/4/2025] +972 54-668-0334: Israel Realtime
🇺🇸THE TRUMP PLAN – following multiple threats from President Trump, Hamas “agreed in principle” but demanded that the strip be transferred to Palestinian hands and not international ones, and said that the release of the captives will take more than 72 hours.
.. Tomorrow in El Arish, Egypt – Israeli officials will meet with (not clear, Egyptian negotiators for Hamas?) to set the final terms to return all the captives and end the war. ( Apparently the “Trump Plan” doesn’t include the details. )
.. Israel stopped offensive operations in Gaza last night after receiving a response from Hamas. BUT reports of an Air Force strike in Gaza City this evening, and IDF fire in Khan Yunis. And reports of BOOMS from Gaza in the last few minutes. Defined as defensive.
.. President Trump responds: Appreciates Israel for temporarily stopping the bombings to give a chance for the release of the hostages and the peace agreement. Hamas must act quickly. I will not tolerate delays or any outcome in which Gaza again poses a threat.
.. The IDF warns Palestinians against returning to Gaza City or approaching troops in all parts of Gaza, as the military has paused offensive operations in the Strip. “IDF troops are still encircling Gaza City, and returning there is very dangerous,” says the military’s Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee, adding that the area north of the Wadi Gaza stream is a “dangerous combat zone.” If this goes as previous pauses, the Gazans will ignore the advise.
▪️OPPOSITION PARTY LEADER LIBERMAN STARTS SOME PANIC – by advising everyone that the situation with Iran is not finished and people should, during the holidays, stay near bomb shelters.
.. Senior official in the cabinet: The common factor between Bennett last week with a warning against canceling the elections and Liberman with a warning of an Iranian attack is the willingness to sow chaos and panic for short-term political gain.
.. There is no current publicly available basis for such a warning beyond the ongoing regular Iranian threats.
▪️LEFT WING ACTIVISTS – at the Sufa crossing at the entrance to Gaza is blocked dozens of reserve soldiers on their way to replace reserve forces who need to go home to rest for Shabbat – carryng signs saying “By Land and Sea, Break the Siege” ( and allow Gaza to rearm and fire rockets at us and kill soldiers? )
It’s unclear why the IDF didn’t immediately declare the area a closed military zone and remove the activists.
🔪TERROR RAMMING – BIDU CHECKPOINT (near Jerusalem) – A suspected assailant accelerated his vehicle into the Bidu Checkpoint, near the Palestinian town of the same name, and hit another vehicle. A 49-year-old woman was lightly injured. The suspect then got out of his vehicle and attempted to flee toward Bidu. Captured.
▪️HIGH COURT PETITIONED – to block the official appointment, after following the High Court demanded process, of the new head of the Shin Bet General Zini. The court rejected the petition, General Zini will start his new role tomorrow.
▪️SELFIE FLOTILLA DEPORTATIONS – 137 activists from the flotilla that attempted to break the Israeli maritime blockade on the Gaza Strip have been deported to Turkey, Israel’s Foreign Ministry says. They include citizens from the United States, Italy, the United Kingdom, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Malaysia, Bahrain, Morocco, Switzerland, Tunisia, and Turkey. Sources in Turkey’s Foreign Ministry tell Reuters that 36 are Turkish nationals. The activists were sent to Istanbul on a Turkish Airlines flight this afternoon from Ramon Airport.
Foreign Ministry – “several foreign governments have shown reluctance to accept flights that would return these provocateurs,” the ministry says, adding that “nevertheless, all participants in this publicity stunt will be deported as swiftly as possible.”
.. Aid found: 1 can of baby formula, mass amounts of illegal drugs, and a nice supply of condoms.
🌎WORLD NEWS OF NOTE – Georgia, presidential palace stormed and fires started by the palace, protests over election results.
🏨 IDF AND SHIN BET EXPOSE HAMAS TUNNEL SYSTEM HIDDEN BENEATH GAZA HOSPITALS
🕑 October 4, 2025 • 8:30 PM [1:38 PM, 10/4/2025] +972 50-997-7784:
Israeli forces uncovered a major Hamas tunnel system built directly beneath hospital complexes in Gaza City, once again exposing how the terrorist group exploits humanitarian sites for military purposes.
During a precise operation, troops working with the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), the Intelligence Directorate, and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, located a tunnel shaft next to the Jordanian Hospital complex. This shaft led to an underground weapons-manufacturing workshop.
The tunnel network is about 1.5 kilometers long and includes weapons production rooms, meeting halls, and living quarters for Hamas platoon and company commanders…
🕑 October 4, 2025 · 9:15 PM [2:18 PM, 10/4/2025] +972 50-997-7784:
🇺🇸 President Trump emphasized his full support for the ongoing negotiations, stating: “I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed. Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let’s get this done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!”
🇪🇬 Egypt has confirmed that formal hostage-deal negotiations will begin Monday in Cairo. The talks will focus on the first stage of the agreement, covering prisoner exchanges and withdrawal maps. Key participants include Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Ron Dermer, and the acting head of Israel’s internal security service.
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are already en route to Egypt to help finalize the deal and ensure the release of hostages. Reports stress that no negotiation will take place on clauses relating to their release — it remains a firm condition of the agreement.
At the same time, regional diplomacy is accelerating. The Qatari Prime Minister and Egypt’s Foreign Minister held a phone call to coordinate efforts to halt the fighting in Gaza. Both highlighted the importance of maintaining momentum behind President Trump’s plan, which they see as critical to ending the war and securing the safe return of hostages.
🔴 Minister and cabinet member Avi Dichter warned that Hamas has begun using deception tactics, demanding that the IDF withdraw from certain areas so it can “recover” the bodies of dead hostages. He emphasized that this maneuver is a distraction and not the real priority.
According to Dichter, the urgent and non-negotiable demand, which also reflects President Trump’s position, must be the return of all 20 living hostages within 72 hours. He stressed that this step is critical and will determine whether the broader stages of the agreement can move forward.
Dichter clarified that the living hostages are not located in areas currently controlled by the IDF. For this reason, he insisted there is no justification for withdrawal or delay. Unless the hostages are released as demanded, Dichter said, the IDF must continue fighting Hamas with full strength.
This highlights the widening gap: Hamas pushing diversionary conditions, while Israel insists the only acceptable next step is the immediate release of the living hostages.
🚨 Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir have made it clear they will delay any final decision until after Phase A—if Phase A even happens. Smotrich slammed Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to pause the Gaza offensive as “a grave mistake.”
Meanwhile, Ben Gvir issued a harsh warning: if Hamas remains after all the hostages are exchanged, his party will walk away from the government. He stated outright: “If Hamas continues to exist after the release of all the hostages — we will not be part of the government.”
As chairman of Otzma Yehudit and Israel’s minister of national security, Ben Gvir emphasized that destroying Hamas is inseparable from rescuing the hostages. He explained: the war’s central objective is not only securing their release but also ensuring the terrorist group cannot be restored.
He put forth his ultimatum to Netanyahu: if Hamas remains after the exchange, his party will quit. “We will not be part of a national defeat that will be remembered as a disgrace,” he added, warning that preserving Hamas would turn into a ticking time bomb. While he expressed relief at the prospect of all hostages returning, he insisted: he will never consent to restoring the organization that brought Israel its greatest disaster.
In recent days, Netanyahu met separately with Smotrich and Ben Gvir. The two leaders also conferred with each other during Shabbat, indicating coordination even amid tensions.
