President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. The diplomatic breakthrough, brokered by his Board of Peace alongside mediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, will pave the way for a new Palestinian government in Gaza, Trump said. "Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY," Trump said in a Truth Social post. Trump said, "The threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will NOT be allowed to rebuild! "Under this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE." The Board of Peace said the next phase will focus on implementation, with Gaza beginning a phased transition toward "full authority," while accelerating efforts to establish the rule of law, improve security and advance humanitarian conditions. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hamas-agrees-complete-disarmament-historic-gaza-agreement-trump Is The Middle East Closer Than Ever to Ezekiel 38? [One hour, 19 minutes] Who are the Real Jews? [59 minutes] Every few years, Americans ask the same question: Why do we send billions of dollars to Israel? Given a national debt approaching $40 trillion and an annual defense budget of roughly $1 trillion, it is a fair question. Every dollar spent overseas deserves scrutiny. But the debate almost always focuses on one side of the ledger — what America gives Israel — while largely ignoring the other: what America receives in return. The United States has many indispensable allies.... Yet Israel occupies a category almost by itself. Few allies combine world-class intelligence, battlefield-tested military innovation, cutting-edge cyber capabilities, missile-defense development, entrepreneurial technology and democratic resilience while sitting at the crossroads of the world’s most volatile region. If Israel did not exist, the United States would spend decades — and likely hundreds of billions of dollars — trying to recreate the strategic advantages it provides. Israeli intelligence has helped expose terrorist plots, monitor Iran’s military and nuclear programs, disrupt weapons trafficking, and deepen America’s understanding of one of the world’s most dangerous regions. Joint research has produced advances in missile-defense systems such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow, while cooperation in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, unmanned aircraft, electronic warfare and battlefield medicine has strengthened both militaries. Israel often confronts emerging threats years before they reach American forces, giving the United States the opportunity to adapt technologies and tactics without paying the far greater price of learning those lessons on future battlefields. Israel remains the Middle East’s only durable liberal democracy. Good allies are valuable. Great allies are rare. Measured not by headlines or politics but by long-term return on investment, few alliances have contributed more to American security than the partnership between the United States and Israel. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/amb-gordon-sondland-americas-aid-israel-bargain-us-security
