SCREAMS BEFORE SILENCE Full Video [57:00] A documentary film on the sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7th, Screams Before Silence is a documentary film led by American businesswoman Sheryl Sandberg, that explores the sexual violence by Hamas during the Hamas-led attack on Israel, on 7 October 2023, including events at the massacre at the Nova Festival and abductions to the Gaza Strip.
🇺🇸🇵🇸🤯 SHOCKING: Trump Announces U.S. Takeover of Gaza Strip: ‘We’ll Own It’
In a significant policy shift, President Donald Trump declared that the United States will “take over and own” the Gaza Strip. He emphasized that “the same people” should not be responsible for rebuilding and occupying the territory.
This announcement follows previous proposals by Trump to relocate Gaza’s residents to neighboring countries, such as Egypt and Jordan, due to the extensive destruction in the area. These suggestions have been met with resistance from the involved nations and have sparked international debate.
The decision marks a notable change in U.S. involvement in the Middle East, with potential implications for regional stability and international relations.
President Trump on securing PEACE in Gaza: “The U.S. will take over the Gaza strip … and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site … create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”

“I think the potential in the Gaza Strip is unbelievable.”
[Ed.: Trump just doomed the entire project. He ignored the fact that Hashem gave Gaza to Israel and not to a bunch of international real estate developers to make a “riviera”. Israel will own it because it was a gift and an inheritance from God. Remember: Trump doesn’t read the Torah. So, he doesn’t have a clue, or any concept of the Land of Israel. He’s only a dumb goy! The God of Abraham (Hashem) will correct him, but good! The whole thing is not only doomed, but cursed. Don’t get me wrong, Trump and Bibi will have many very positive results for Israel from their efforts. This is definitely good. This will get us through this phase of the clean-up. But blasphemy, will not be a part of the end results, the two men will inevitably learn in the end of this chapter.]
🚨IDF BASE ATTACKED, HAMAS DEMANDS

In Oct. 7 style, Arab observers were set up to video the attack from multiple sides.
The terrorist managed to penetrate the IDF compound, where he exchanged fire with IDF forces for minutes while wearing a military bullet proof vest.

▪️PM NETANYAHU & PRESIDENT TRUMP – to hold a joint press conference tonight, US time.
.. Before Trump and Netanyahu meet tonight, a senior US administration official briefed reporters: “The president is focused on releasing all hostages and ensuring that Hamas does not continue to control the Gaza Strip.”
▪️IDF ON RELEASED TERRORISTS – almost 45% returned to terrorism, with some re-arrested and some eliminated.
.. According to Hamas, Pakistan has agreed to accept some of the deported terrorists, Tunisia refused to accept even one of them.
⭕update of – IDF BASE ATTACKED:
.. Two HERO SOLDIERS fell in the attack:
Ofer Yung, 39, from Tel Aviv
Zvika Friedman, from Ein HaNatziv
May their families be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may G-d avenge their blood!
Investigation: A few minutes before 6:00 AM, two soldiers leave a pillbox for the nearby checkpoint, as part of dawn checks. A terrorist ambushed them both at the entrance to the pillbox, wearing a military vest, an M-16 rifle, and with two magazines. The IDF estimates that the terrorist sneaked into the outpost during the night, and ambushed the fighters at first light.
At this point, an exchange of fire begins, which lasts for many minutes – between the terrorist, who is at the entrance to the pillbox, and the forces inside, a squad of 11.
Two alert terms rushed to the pillbox, surrounding the area. The terrorist tried to withdraw, one of the alert team soldiers threw a grenade at him – hit.
.. Conflicting reports on whether the ID of the terrorist is known, and the rumored possibility he is a released terrorist from a deal phase. According to one report, due to being hit by a grenade identification is problematic.
❗️EGYPT WARNS ISRAEL – (this is via Egyptian media, there are possible doubts this is official) Egyptian sources told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar: Cairo delivered an explicit warning to Israel during military coordination meetings – according to which any remaining on the Philadelphi Gaza-Egypt border corridor would be considered a “violation of the annexes to the Camp David Accords”, and that Egypt would not be obligated to continue coordinating with it regarding the status of its forces on the border.

Before Leaving Power, Biden Regime Quietly Funneled $3 Mil to ‘Palestinian’ Government ‘Security Forces’ for Weapons, Training—After Its Members Carried Out Attacks on Israelis By Geller Report Staff
February 4, 2025 – Force for evil. The Biden Administration was absolutely despicable. And Antony Blinken was the worst and most immoral SOS in American history. Call your member of Congress and demand that all U.S aid to the Palestinian Authority is stopped. Designate the Palestinian Authority as a non-state sponsor of terrorism.
“Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF) members conducted more than 1,500 terror attacks against Israel in 2023—attacks that came with the Palestinian government’s backing
Biden Admin Quietly Funneled $3 Mil to Palestinian Government ‘Security Forces’ for Weapons Training—After Its Members Carried Out Attacks on Israelis By The Washington Examiner, Feb 3th, 2025
Trump admin ‘must conduct rigorous oversight of this type of funding, which the Biden administration quietly noticed at the 11th hour,’ says Rep. McCaul
The Biden administration, weeks before leaving power, funneled more than $3 million in taxpayer cash to the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF), according to a nonpublic notice transmitted to Congress that was reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Those funds allowed the PASF to conduct “firearms and ammunition” training—and came after its members carried out scores of attacks against Israelis.
Trump Will Watch FILM of Hamas Oct. 7 Atrocities Before Meeting Netanyahu By Pamela Geller
February 3, 2025 – Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff saw the footage while in Israel last week and was left shocked, and decided that the president should view it as well.
This will change everything.
By Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, February 3, 2025;
US President Donald Trump will watch a documentary of Hamas October 7 atrocities before meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, says the Ynet news outlet.
According to the report, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff saw the footage while in Israel last week and was left shocked, and decided that the president should view it as well.
The 47-minute IDF compilation of footage from Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into Israel to kill some 1,200 people and seize 251 hostages, mostly civilians, amid acts of brutality and sexual assault, will be shortened to 20-30 minutes for the US president, Ynet reports.
The footage, first screened for foreign journalists in Israel on October 23, 2023, includes harrowing scenes of murder, torture and decapitation from the Hamas slaughter in southern Israel, including raw videos from the terrorists’ bodycams.

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.
Ahlam al-Tamimi Extradition to U.S.

🟠 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.”
▪️ANOTHER GUN SMUGGLER – after spotting police, a smuggler began throwing pistols out his car window. 13 Glock pistols recovered on Route 6 by the Yokneam tunnels, smuggler captured, a “resident of the south”.
▪️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.
