[59 minutes] Amir Tsarfati, January 8: Members of Parliament in the UK voted overwhelmingly against the Conservative Party leader's proposal to establish a national commission of inquiry into the Grooming Gangs, the criminal gangs that allegedly lured minors for sexual purposes - an issue that is now at the top of the agenda in the Kingdom following the involvement of Elon Musk. Amir Tsarfati, January 9: The fires in Los Angeles spread overnight and reached the Hollywood Hills neighborhood. In total, at least six fires are burning, with five deaths and more than 100,000 people forced to flee their homes. [Just over one hour] Leaders in Syrian Kurdistan asked the United States this week to provide protective troops and become more involved in keeping the peace as they face an ongoing campaign by Turkish proxy forces to eradicate them. One senior leader of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES), which represents Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava), suggested American troops, with French help, could “secure the entire border” between Turkey and Syria. Amir Tsarfati, January 10: 98 Israeli hostages remain in Hamas captivity. Amir Tsarfati, January 11: Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to approve in the next 24 hours the departure of a senior delegation led by the head of the Mossad for Hostage deal talks in Qatar. Amir Tsarfati. January 13: I have firsthand experience with the Palestinians, having negotiated with them in the 1990s. They show indifference to the collateral damage when we target their terrorists, as these incidents only strengthen their narrative and cause. However, what affects them most deeply is when Jews construct new homes on land they claim. This action signifies the ultimate defeat in a conflict they began. This is central to what they describe as the "Nakba" (disaster), which they have commemorated since 1948. Now, in 2025, if we move forward with building more Jewish homes in northern Gaza and Judea and Samaria, we will write another chapter in this ongoing story. Our adversaries must understand that initiating a war involving the massacre of our elderly, the rape of our women, the burning of our children, and the kidnapping of 250 individuals will always come with a heavy price. Releasing murderers who've committed the most heinous acts is an outrage. It sends a message to every young troublemaker out there that terrorism is a lucrative career choice. Killing Jews? That's just 'good business.' From being a low-life to becoming a celebrated hero, these monsters, after rotting in prison for just a few years, come out to the cheers of their equally vile companions. Instead of pursuing education, they'll be plotting their next attack. A society that glorifies violence, murder, and even rape needs to learn a harsh lesson: terrorism never pays off. My hope is that, just as the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart in Exodus 9:12, He will do so with Muhammad Sinwar, and the deal will be rejected by Hamas. [45 minutes] Amir Tsarfati, January 15: South Korean President Yoon's recorded speech released minutes before his arrest: Gaza is largely in ruins, and while Hamas can claim a symbolic victory, this will only last until the residents of northern Gaza return to see what remains of their former homes. It's all gone! Netanyahu, like any skilled player, is attempting to maximize the advantage from the hand he's been dealt: ▪️Gaining diplomatic leverage: Agreeing to a deal that will give credit to the incoming U.S. president, enhancing the appearance of strength. ▪️Hostage release: Securing the immediate release of as many hostages as possible in the first phase, while anticipating that Hamas might breach the deal, thus providing a pretext to resume fighting. ▪️Lifting arms restrictions: Removing the arms embargo to rearm the IDF to the fullest for future conflicts. ▪️Counter-terrorism efforts: Using this time to dismantle terror infrastructures in Judea and Samaria. ▪️Strategic alliances: Preparing the groundwork for a coalition similar to the one that conducted the recent attack in Yemen, aimed at countering Iran's nuclear ambitions. ▪️Regional normalization: Securing normalization agreements with Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and other moderate Sunni Muslim countries.

Israeli Media Reports on Dramatic Moments Leading Up to Hostage Deal: Details Agreed Upon, Awaiting Hamas' Final Response.
Don't hold your breath.
Hamas will never accept anything less than the complete stop of the war and a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza—a move that would allow them to remain in power.
.....
If you're curious about why all the details have been agreed upon yet we still await Hamas's approval, consider this: Hamas maintains its political wing in Qatar and/or Turkey, whereas its military wing is based in Gaza. While the political wing has consented, the military wing routinely rejects all proposals. Even though Sinwar might be dead, his brother is still alive and effectively in charge.
.....
According to a Reuters report, the final draft of a deal was submitted to both Hamas and Israel for approval.
This sudden inclusion of Israel in the approval process suggests only one thing: external forces are pressuring us to sign a deal we didn't initiate.
I am categorically opposed to any agreement that would mandate a full withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza or end the war before Hamas is neutralized!
.....
Member of the Israeli Political and Security Cabinet, Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich: "The deal that is taking shape is a catastrophe for the national security of the State of Israel."
We will not be part of a surrender deal that would include releasing mega-terrorist, stopping the war and destroying its achievements that were bought with much blood, and abandoning many hostages.
"This is the time to continue with all our might, to occupy and cleanse the entire Strip, to finally take control of humanitarian aid from Hamas, and to open the gates of hell on Gaza until Hamas surrenders completely and all the hostages are returned."

This is the full outline of the hostage deal between Israel and Hamas
•33 hostages to be released in the first phase of the agreement.
•No deportations: Terrorists with blood on their hands won’t be sent to the West Bank.
•A buffer zone will be established in Gaza for security.
•Israel will remain in Gaza until all hostages are freed.
•During the truce, Israel will hold the Philadelphi Corridor.
•Security arrangements will allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza via the Netzarim Corridor.
.....
Prime Minister Netanyahu has summoned the families of the abductees to a meeting tomorrow.

For weeks, we demanded clear answers from Hamas about the status of the 33 kidnapped individuals, but Hamas refused, leading to stalled negotiations. Now, the American envoy arrived on Saturday and delivered a direct, unambiguous message from President Trump to Netanyahu, insisting that the deal must be completed. Netanyahu acquiesced.

.....
The deal with Hamas is a catastrophe; it's going to lead to countless murders and, even worse, a surge in kidnappings soon. Hamas is a terrorist organization that should be obliterated by now. This deal is nothing but a lifeline for these wretched individuals, giving them a false sense of victory over the Arabs in Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip. It's going to enable these scoundrels to recover politically and militarily, allowing them to recruit thousands more despicable individuals to their cause.

.....Breaking Down the Hostage Deal: A Critical Moment for Israel and Gaza | MidEast Update:
...Unfortunately, the law has completely collapsed in this country. It is truly regrettable to see warrants being issued to agencies without investigative authority, and courts without warrant review authority issuing arrest warrants and search and seizure warrants, and investigative agencies issuing false official documents to deceive the public, committing such illegal acts and forcibly proceeding with procedures using invalid warrants....
.....
Reports that Hamas makes a false claim that Israel added new conditions in the negotiations - to avoid carrying out the deal.
.....
Sky News in Arabic: Israel insists on veto power over the names of terrorists to be released, and demands that the IDF remain 700 meters inside Rafah - conditions that could thwart the deal.
.....
Hamas cannot and does not want to return all the hostages. They do not possess all of them, and they wish to retain "human ammunition" as an insurance policy to maintain their power. This situation is precisely why I completely understand the frustration of the families of at least 20 living abductees who are not included in the first phase of the alleged agreement. They know that they might never see their loved ones.
.....
For two days, I've been trying to understand what might have prompted Netanyahu to agree to what seems like a terrible ceasefire deal with Hamas.
.....
The Trump-brokered ceasefire deal:
Hamas continues to refuse the ceasefire agreement, though there are indications that they might be capitulating.
▪️The number of live hostages has doubled in the first phase of the deal.
▪️Israel maintains IDF control over the Philadelphi corridor and the security perimeter.
▪️The arrangement aims to prevent weapons from entering the northern Gaza Strip.
▪️The deal does not preclude the possibility of returning to war later to achieve other goals.
Netanyahu, in discussions with ministers, has expressed commitment to bringing all the hostages home.
.....
The prime minister’s office:
Contrary to many reports, Hamas has NOT yet agreed to the ceasefire deal!
.....
President Donald Trump: "We have reached a ceasefire agreement in Gaza - the hostages will be released soon."
.....
Details of the agreement:
6 weeks of ceasefire
Gradual withdrawal of the IDF from the Gaza Strip
600 humanitarian trucks will enter the Gaza Strip
Hamas will release 33 Israeli hostages
Israel will release 30 terrorists in exchange for each kidnapped civilian, Israel will release 50 terrorists for each kidnapped female soldier
.....
People of Gaza are celebrating the ceasefire deal.
.....
A few points about the Trump- brokered ceasefire agreement:
1. Women hostages will be released first.
2. The inspection at the Netzarim axis of people returning to northern Gaza will be of vehicles, wagons and animals and will be carried out by an American company.
3. Immediately upon Trump's inauguration, we will receive the weapons, ammunition, and tools that Biden Blinken stopped.
4. "The method of the next entry will be different and with immense power."
5. Released murderers will be deported to Gaza or abroad.
6. Approximately 750 terrorists and approximately 1,000 more Gazan detainees will be released.
7. About 400 will be released to Judea and Samaria.
8. Forces will be transferred from Gaza to Judea and Samaria for reinforcements, and there are specific plans for dealing with the new situation.
9. Thank God the hostages are being released but Netanyahu's test will be in renewing the war and achieving its goals fully and completely.
.....
A flood of fake news is coming from all the pro-Palestinian channels. They are delusional. 95% of their information is false but I guess necessary to make Hamas look good. In reality, Gaza’s most populated areas are nearly uninhabitable. Most people won't be able to return to their homes. I’m sure they would have preferred to start a new life elsewhere.
.....

Qatar announces: There is a ceasefire deal! It will enter into effect on Sunday!

In the first phase, 33 hostages will be released.

In the last week, the remaining hostages of the 33 agreed upon are expected to be released.

President Trump forced us to sign a terrible deal!
There is nothing to be happy or proud about!
In 42 days, we will see if his guarantees that we can to go back to fight Hamas are real.

An official in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office:
The Prime Minister will address the public only after the deal is complete and closed.
.....
Prime Minister's Office:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now spoken with US President-elect Donald Trump.
The Prime Minister thanked US President-elect Trump for his help in promoting the release of the hostages, and for helping Israel end the suffering of dozens of hostages and their families.
The Prime Minister made it clear that he is committed to returning all the hostages by any means necessary, and congratulated the US President-elect for his words that the United States will work with Israel to ensure that Gaza will never be a haven for terrorism.
The two have agreed to meet soon in Washington to discuss this and other important issues.
Prime Minister Netanyahu then spoke with US President Joe Biden, and also thanked him for his help in promoting the hostage deal.
.....
It is a hostage deal, NOT an end of war deal. Phase I allows for the release of 33 hostages; it is not clear how many are alive, but some reports suggest 23.
Israel is going to be shocked to find out who among the 33 is not alive.
Tough days are ahead.
Lord please help us all!
