Trump, Gaza Ceasefire & Hostage Deal

US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Axios that US President-elect Donald Trump wants to see a Gaza hostage deal and ceasefire before he returns to the White House in January. “Trump is more determined than ever to release the hostages and supports a ceasefire that includes a hostage deal. He wants to see it happening now,” Graham told Axios. 

“I want people in Israel and in the region to know that Trump is focused on the hostages issue. He wants the killing to stop and the fighting to end,” he said.  “I hope President Trump and the Biden administration will work together during the transition period to release the hostages and get a ceasefire,” he added.

He added the western soft sanctions against settlers is nothing but “ashes” and what is needed is real and effective sanctions against the Israeli government which finances and protects the terrorists.

Ahmad Theiban writes:

May God have mercy on the late Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. Perhaps the most important project associated with his name is Al Jazeera satellite channel, launched in 1996 with all its Arabic and English channels, etc. Al Jazeera revolutionized Arab media, transcending all traditional frameworks in terms of media freedom and its disregard for journalistic conventions, such as presenting official news, instead offering unconventional programming. Among the most significant news coverages that emerged from Al Jazeera was its comprehensive coverage of the Israeli war of genocide on the Gaza Strip.
