QATAR HAS RIGGED THE GAME, CAN NETANYAHU FLIP THE SCRIPT IN HIS MEETING WITH TRUMP? by David Mark
February 3, 2025 Israel Unwired – Prime Minister Netanyahu has already landed in Washington D.C. in preparation for his face to face meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday. According to reports the two will discuss the implementation of the second phase of the hostage deal signed with Hamas as well as a day after plan for the Gaza Strip.
Reports also indicate that President Trump’s favorite golfing buddy turned Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff will be there. Witkoff is not just any golfing buddy for the President, he is also Qatar’s point man inside the US administration. As I wrote a few weeks ago in my piece – Qatar Uses Witkoff To Force Israel Into A Dangerous Deal: “In August 2023, Witkoff sold the 610-room Park Lane Hotel in Manhattan for roughly $623 million, to the Qatar Investment Authority, a sovereign wealth fund. Interestingly, Witkoff gave the fund a 17.5 percent discount. Many observers acknowledge that the Qatari purchase was more like a bailout for Witkoff who had lost millions in his purchase of the hotel and other properties.”
Since heading up the task of ensuring this deal continues, Witkoff has continued to push Qatar’s interest, which is to leave Hamas in power. To make it more complicated, reports from last year have resurfaced that the Richardson Center for Global Engagement who has been advising the hostage families (the ones represented by the left leaning Hostage and Missing Families Forum) is also a major recipient of funding from the government of Qatar. The Richardson Center came onboard as an advisor at no cost and it seems at the behest of their Qatari backers.
So Qatar is either in direct or indirect control of Witkoff, Hamas, and the Hostage Families Forum – essentially rigging the game even before Netanyahu and Trump meet. The Prime Minister knows all of this of course and although he appears to always have another up his sleeve in his ongoing geopolitical chess game, this time his opponent, Qatar has determined the outcome. If this is the case, the best move to make is to refuse to play – clear the board and speak directly to President Trump. He can try explaining that Qatar and Hamas are the same thing and leaving Hamas in power might get Trump’s buddy an extra hotel or two, but it not only endangers the entire Jewish people, but will come back to haunt the US as well. The President appears to like straight talk – no games.
However, history shows that Netanyahu loves playing the game as much as anyone. He often believes he has the best move to make and thinks he can never lose. He may be right. But something tells me this time may be different, because this time his moves may endanger us all.

🟠 TORTURE, UNRWA, ANTI-ISRAEL COALITION
February 3, 2025 ISRAEL REALTIME – Connecting to Israel in Realtime
▪️HOSTAGE TORTURE – a topic we have avoided due to the sensitivity. The three hostages returned yesterday spoke of harsh conditions in captivity, a lack of food, and how they were constantly taken from place to place by Hamas terrorists – above and below ground, held in cages during their captivity, and experienced physical and mental abuse.
The terrorists would beat them for no reason, and there were days when they deliberately put them in dark places, even when they were in above-ground shelters, to disrupt their sense of time.
One of the female hostages described how she was hung upside down and beaten, while the torturer laughed about how Israel had provided his daughter with medical treatment saving her life while beating.
▪️EGYPTIAN MILITARY BUILDUP – The Americans have begun investigating the violation of the agreement with Israel and demanded explanations from the Egyptians – at the same time, Israel is increasing intelligence gathering in the region and not waiting for the Americans. (News 14)
▪️PM IN WASHINGTON – The Prime Minister has landed in Washington. Tomorrow the meeting with Trump Middle East envoy Witkoff, the day after a meeting with Trump. Also on the schedule – a meeting with families of the hostages, and meetings with senior figures in Congress and the Senate.
▪️HAMAS COMPLAINS – A delegation of senior Hamas terrorist organization officials met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Doha, Qatar. Hamas accused Israel: “the occupation’s delay in implementing the provisions of the humanitarian protocol, especially on basic issues such as the introduction of tents, prefabricated houses (trailers), fuel and the reconstruction of hospitals, water wells and heavy equipment.”
▪️DRILL – UPPER GALILEE – A military exercise will begin today (Monday) from morning until noon in the Upper Galilee region. As part of the exercise, there will be a lot of movement of vehicles and security personnel in the area. IT’S A DRILL.
▪️SIREN TEST – HERZLIYA – 11:05 in Herzliya Central and at 11:10 in Herzliya West. IT’S A TEST.
▪️GAZA CITY MAYOR SAYS – “80% of the city’s infrastructure was destroyed as a result of the war.”

▪️UNRWA – now illegal to operate in Israel or in contact with any Israeli govt. agency. Members of parliament from 14 different European countries appealed to the UN Secretary-General demanding that “UNRWA be removed from the UN agencies.
.. Foreign Ministers of Britain, France and Germany decried the cessation of UNRWA’s activities in Israel and therefore lack of services in Jerusalem. The Min. Of Jerusalem Porush replied: “Your statement does not correspond to reality. The services we provide to the residents of East Jerusalem are much better than the poor services of UNRWA. The entire municipal territory of Jerusalem is under Israeli sovereignty, and as such all municipal services there are handled by the Jerusalem Municipality. I regret that you chose to publish a statement without real familiarity with the situation on the ground.”
▪️JUSTICE vs. ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES – The Attorney General in a message to PM Netanyahu: I will oppose the reappointment of Ben Gvir as minister. If you consider reappointing Ben Gvir as minister, you will be required to re-examine whether he is disqualified.
▪️VERSUS ISRAEL – First publication: 9 countries in S. America and Africa announced the establishment of a group that will fight Israel on the international stage, press for the arrest warrants for Israeli officials to be carried out, and declare the imposition of economic sanctions.
♦️SAMARIA – Al-Ain, Shechem: Arab reports, a fierce exchange of fire between the terrorists and IDF forces.

Deported Hamas Terrorists Are Stuck In Cairo: “They Went From Israeli Jail To Egyptian ‘Jail’”
February 3, 2024 Yeshiva World News – Seventy Hamas terrorists with blood on their hands released from Israeli prisons and deported to Egypt as part of the ceasefire/hostage deal are stuck in a hotel in Cairo, Ynet reported.
“Not a single Arab country has agreed to accept even one deported Palestinian prisoner,” a Palestinian Prisoners’ Authority official told Ynet. He added that Turkey has agreed to accept terrorists from Jerusalem who were deported but first wants to review their backgrounds.
According to the official, all the terrorists are being housed in a hotel and are not allowed to leave, describing their situation as moving “from an Israeli prison to an Egyptian prison.”
He added that the terrorists were forced to continue wearing their Israeli prison uniforms and slippers for a long time after their arrival, adding, “The Egyptians are not treating them warmly.”
Meanwhile, another 23 terrorists who are slated to be deported abroad remain stranded in Gaza.
Qatar’s prime minister and Turkey’s foreign minister said they are willing to accept some of the terrorists but did not specify a number.
Ofer And Yarden Were Locked In Cages; Endured Brutal Physical & Psychological Abuse
February 1, 2025 Yeshiva World News – Snippets of the ordeals endured by Yarden Bibas, Ofer Calderon, and Keith Segal in Gaza were reported by Israeli media outlets on Motzei Shabbos.
The three men were constantly moved from place to place during the war and suffered from severe abuse and were given little food.
For part of the time, mainly during the first days of captivity, Yarden Bibas and Ofer Calderon were held together in Khan Younis. They said that the terrorists beat them and locked them in cages – as described by other hostages who were with them and returned in the previous deal. The two experienced severe physical and psychological abuse, especially Bibas as the terrorists would constantly taunt him about his wife Shira, and young children Ariel and Kfir, telling him that they were dead.
The two men were later transferred from place to place, in tunnels and buildings, along with other hostages. The terrorists treated Ofer as a reservist despite his age (54), which is why he was released in a mock IDF uniform.
It was also reported that Bibas learned Arabic while in captivity and held onto the hope of being released.
Keith Segal was held in Gaza City along with other hostages and was moved between tunnels and apartments. When in apartments, the terrorists would lock him in one of the inner rooms so if someone would enter, they wouldn’t find him.
Kan News reported that Keith said that for many months, he didn’t know what happened to his son Shai, who was at his home on October 7 in Kfar Azza. But then he heard him on the radio and realized he was alive and was felt extremely relieved.
It should be noted that Keith’s wife Aviva, didn’t know what happened to Shai until she was released in November 2023 and saw him.
Keith, who appeared visibly starved, also described how he was forced to eat meat despite being a vegetarian due to how little food he was provided.
All three men testified that they were exposed to media, mainly Al Jazeera, and saw the demonstrations for their release alongside their captors.
