King Abdullah II of Jordan told President Trump at the White House on Tuesday that his country would give refuge to 2,000 children from Gaza who are sick with cancer or other illnesses. “One of the things that we can do right away is take 2,000 children that are either cancer children or in very ill-state to Jordan as quickly as possible,” the Jordanian king said. “And, then wait for the Egyptians to present their plan on how we can work with president.” In response to the king’s announcement, Trump described it as a “beautiful gesture.” The king’s offer to take in 2,000 sick children from the Gaza Strip comes as the Egyptian and Jordanian governments have previously rejected taking in displaced refugees from Gaza. Amir Tsarfati: The Truth About Gaza, Hostage Deal, and Trump's Plan Revealed: [Almost one hour] Snippets from Amir's email newsletter: The Continuing Hostage Saga There was one person upon whom those pictures had a profound effect, and that was U.S. President Donald Trump. Already iffy on the whole “a few hostages at a time” agreement, his viewing of Ami, Sharabi, and Levy pushed him over the edge. Trump demanded that Hamas release all the remaining hostages by noon this coming Saturday or “all hell will break loose.” I am so grateful for this statement, because Hamas has been playing games with the 59 remaining hostages. The Israeli cabinet also recognizes this and has voted to affirm Trump’s threat. This could be a very interesting weekend. But more probably, it won’t. Hamas is drunk with success. The ceasefire has forced the IDF from the Netzarim corridor, so now Hamas has free rein to move back into the north. Meanwhile, the worst of the Hamas prisoners being held by Israel have been sent home in return for innocent hostages, so the terrorists have gotten all they want. Already, they have begun training and planning for the next October 7 attack. The one element of this whole equation that Hamas doesn’t seem to get is the Trump factor. Unlike other politicians, he will carry out his threats. When he says that he is going to remove Palestinians from Gaza, he will remove Palestinians from Gaza. And King Abdullah II of Jordan and President El-Sisi of Egypt are slowly learning that when Trump says that he expects their countries to open their borders for some Palestinian settlements in return for the billion-plus dollars in aid that America sends their way, they better unlock the gates.... A Decision for Iran This is the type of hard-thinking, line-in-the-sand strategy that is understood in the Middle East. If you are wishy-washy, you will be taken advantage of. However, if it is understood that you will follow through with your “or else”, you may be hated but you will be respected and listened to. The choice is clear for Iran. Already there are anti-regime protests in the streets of numerous cities, and just yesterday all schools, banks, and government offices in Tehran were closed to save electricity and gas. They are not in a position to fight a war. Their reign of terror is at an end. USAID “This morning I woke up to a WhatsApp message on my phone which said, “Make Gaza great again, what a great idea!” Now that was not from a MAGA farmer in Alabama, it was from my friend in Gaza who’s currently in Gaza city,” said commentator and author of “Israelophobia," Jake Wallis Simons. In an interview on Britain’s Talk TV, he said that he has been told many Gazans are in favor of Trump’s plans. Wallis Simons shared some of his conversation with his friend in Gaza, saying, “I spoke to him on the phone and he said that he and everybody he knows are fully behind Trump’s proposals because they don’t want to live in rubble for the 20 years it will take to rebuild their houses. They don’t want to live in tents, they don’t want to see their children have to rely on aid handouts. We have so many millions of refugees around the world… yet the Palestinians are meant to put up with horrendous conditions brought upon their heads by Hamas.” One man called out from the rubble around him, saying to the camera, “I want to leave because there’s no life left here. Life here has gone. I mean just look around you. We simply can’t live here. I’m asking Trump himself to relocate us as he suggested, and I’ll be the first to go.” Another man pleads to the countries Trump has suggested should give refuge for the people of Gaza, saying: “To our brotherly Egyptian and Jordanian – and King Abdullah: We hope they open the crossings for the youth who are leaving, for the wounded, for the sick, the elderly who need treatment.” A third man expresses the indignity of their situation and the plight that ordinary Gazan people are now in. He indicates that Gazan people will most likely go along with Trump’s plan in the absence of any viable alternative. “In the end people will face reality,” he said, continuing, “They’ll emigrate because they want to live. They want to live in a country that protects them and supports them, meaning, a country where you can hold your head up high. If our country isn’t looking out for us, where should we go?” “Hamas is shooting people in the legs. Their feet are amputated as a result of this gunfire. And that’s it, the person is finished. So long as Hamas remains on the scene, this will keep on happening. Every day we’ll have new killings. After every battle they say they’re victorious. But what is this victory? In a similar video presented by commentator Yishai Fleisher, a Gazan man assures Trump, “All you have to do is open the border, and leave the rest to us.” https://allisrael.com/despairing-gazans-ask-to-leave-for-borders-to-open Calling the impossible into existence seems to be one of the secret ingredients to Trump’s art of the deal, because after he voiced the idea for Gazans to evacuate the place they once called home, in order to resurrect it from its uninhabitable condition, Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz wasted no time instructing the IDF to “prepare a plan allowing for Gazans wishing to leave the Gaza Strip voluntarily.” While Trump’s intended relocation plan is directed to the neighboring countries of Jordan and Egypt, both have flatly refused entrance to Gazans. Nonetheless, Trump somehow got Jordan’s King Abdullah to agree to take in 2,000 sick children, and that’s just the beginning. When pressed on the matter by reporters, the king said he’d have to hear further, wanting to allow Egypt to weigh in on the matter. That doesn’t sound like a hard “no.” “The U.S. is Jordan’s single-largest aid provider, sending the Hashemite Kingdom 1.45 billion every year in bilateral foreign assistance. Egypt, for its part, received $1.3 billion in miliary aid in 2024. U.S. military support for Cairo rose steeply after the country signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, amounting to more than $50 billion in total since then.” What would happen if that assistance were to be conditioned upon helping to facilitate the peace which Trump so desperately wants, in his quest to end the perpetual strife which has plagued the Middle East for as long as anyone can remember? We actually might find out pretty soon, because the American president has already said that he might withhold aid to Jordan and Egypt if they don’t take in Palestinians. How would that bode for Jordan and Egypt? ... maybe Trump, in trying to entice Jordan and Egypt, should repeat the words he often used in his first campaign, when trying to appeal to voters, “What do you have to lose? https://allisrael.com/blog/will-trump-be-able-to-pull-off-the-impossible 
King of Jordan Tells Trump He Will Take In 2,000 Sick Gaza Children:
When I first made comparisons between the October 7 slaughter and the Holocaust, some people said, “Exaggeration!” I equated the torture and rape and brutalization of that horrible day in 2023 with what was seen in the Third Reich, but there were those who accused me of hyperbole and clickbait. Then, on Saturday, the emaciated figures of Ohad Ben Ami (56), Eli Sharabi (52), and Or Levy (34) were paraded on a Palestinian stage, forced to read anti-Israel statements, and then manhandled to their freedom. Before and after captivity pictures were circulated of these men, and comparisons of their starved bodies were juxtaposed with those of German death camp survivors. My hope is that finally in the minds of some of the naysayers, they’ll say, “I finally get it.” The only differences between Hamas and the Nazis are time and location.
Sadly, I still see Israel once again choosing to push through with the shameful ceasefire agreement. Why? The guilt felt by our nation and its leaders regarding the hostages, and the duty to release as many of them as possible while they are still alive, trumps all other considerations.
...they are now faced with a choice – either the U.S. and Israel destroys their nuclear capabilities or they do it themselves.
I am not an American, so I don’t want to step deeply into the USAID scandal. It’s not my country; it’s not my business. Instead, I will just say that from what I have read about USAID, the way it has used its money is a macrocosm of everything that is wrong in culture, media, international relations, and politics.
