Hamas releases names of only four deceased hostages to be returned Monday
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum called for all aspects of the ceasefire with Hamas to be suspended until all of the slain hostages were returned to Israel
IDF Chief Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Deffrin confirmed on Monday afternoon earlier rumors that only four deceased hostages would be returned by Hamas on Monday evening. ...
In response, the Hostage Families Forum called for an immediate suspension of Israel's agreement with Hamas until every deceased hostage was returned. ...
Deffrin initially provided no information about the other 24 deceased hostages ...
... in a briefing on Sunday night, IDF sources had not hinted that the number of returned deceased hostages would be so low on the first day.
... most observers were expecting a more significant number of hostages to be returned on the first day and the majority to be returned within a few days, with only a small number of unresolved cases. ...
Left, right, and in between in this country is completely warped.
NYT: President Trump On Brink of Major Diplomatic Accomplishment
In Rob Schneider's world Iran never funded Hamas which invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, never built and launched wave after wave of ballistic missiles at Israeli civilians, never enriched enough uranium to build over a dozen nuclear weapons, never promised over and over again death to Israel and death to America.
Truly hilarious.
... Last month Trump called on Hamas
to release the hostages by Feb. 15 or "all hell is going to breakout."
That deadline came and went. This time, Trump is describing his
ultimatum as the "last warning!" ...
“I have just met with your former hostages whose
lives you have destroyed," Trump added. "This is your last warning! For
the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a
chance.” ...
The Trump Administration has already approved nearly $12 billion in major foreign military sales to Israel, according to the State Department’s website. ...
Hamas still is holding 59 hostages in Gaza, many of whom are believed to be dead. ...

US holding secret talks with Hamas on release of Gaza hostages, 'Post' confirms
... US special envoy for hostage affairs Adam Boehler ... met with senior Hamas officials in Doha, Qatar, several times. These meetings, first reported by Barak Ravid on Axios, mark the first known direct dialogue between Hamas and the US administration since the US designated Hamas as a terrorist organization in 1997.
Such talks run counter to long-standing US policy against direct contact with groups that Washington lists as foreign terrorist organizations. ...
The White House said Boehler has the authority to negotiate directly with Hamas.
“When it comes to the negotiations that you’re referring to, first of all, the special envoy who’s engaged in those negotiations does have the authority,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. ...
The Council on Foreign Relations here says the cost to the US for the UN is north of $18 billion in 2022.
Foreign Policy here says the annual budget for the UN in 2023 is $3.4 billion.
New York City claimed in 2016 that the UN provides an economic benefit to the city of $3.7 billion in 2014, which means US taxpayers subsidize that benefit to New York City.
Meanwhile the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza was infiltrated by Hamas terrorists who participated in the Oct 7 massacre in Israel, which American taxpayers are also subsidizing.
Why is Donald Trump letting this continue?
Why isn't it in the news?
Why isn't DOGE going after that?
Why isn't it a top priority?
Joe's administration began with the deaths of US soldiers in the ignominious Afghanistan withdrawal, and ends with the death of a US soldier in the ignominious attempt to help the enemy which attacked America's ally Israel on October 7, 2023.
I wonder if Kamala can think of anything now that she would change.
Kamala Harris famously warned Israel of consequences from the US in March if Israel went into Rafah.
