We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
"Ceasefire / Assessment
a) Israel:
1. Every time Israel has relied on the stupidity of the "Palestinians" it has worked. Historically.
2. It is better to bet on the "Palestinian" ineptness than to bet on conflicts with the superpowers.
3. Israel is still at war and has never gone "all out" on all arenas at once and this has paid off.
Note: It is not to be ruled out that there is preparation for an Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon due to Hezbollah's refusal to disarm, perhaps the completion of the work against the remnants of Iran, or a diplomatic process to complete the Abraham Accords.
B) The struggle against the PA
1. Historically, there is no "Palestinian establishment" that can make operational decisions or accommodate concessions. Hence, the Israeli gamble always pays off from 1948 until the Bar-Ilan speech (Netanyahu accepting the idea of a Palestinian State in the Obama era - JP)
2. Hamas cannot accommodate "disarmament" because then it will be slaughtered, as it slaughtered Fatah after the disengagement (Israek's one-sided retreat from Gaza in 2005 - JP).
C) Trump and the US:
1. Trump is a leader who knows how to tear trade and nuclear agreements to pieces.
2. Trump has already led political processes that ended differently, such as the "Deal of the Century" that ended with the Abraham Accords or the "Negotiations with Iran" that ended with the bombing of Iran, and of course the endless talks and flick-flacking between Russia and Ukraine.
3. Trump tends to humiliate himself in front of the "other side" until the other side - Russia, Iran, Europe: makes a mistake and gets caught up in it. This is a simplistic negotiation strategy that the global political world simply refuses to accept.
4. Trump has more important goals and may want peace in this arena. I remind you that the world is still in a war of superpowers and trade. There are also personal circumstances such as the Nobel Peace Prize.
D) The agreement on a practical level:
The return of the hostages is the only element in the agreement that can be executed on an immediate and practical level. All the other parts - will take months if not years to implement. Disarming organizations, reconstruction, establishing a "technocratic government".
Try it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Judea and Samaria in the Oslo Accords - "artificial regimes" are always a failure and in the end blood runs in the streets.
The Arab/Muslim world has never created a practical political or military operation and managed to maintain it.
This agreement, except for the return of the hostages - if to put it somewhat bluntly - is Western nonsense that has already been tried in various versions in countless places in the Middle East.
Israel will not be tested by a single agreement or a micro-event in the war: but by whether it derives maximum profit in relation to the situation.
Israel's decision-making set should also always be with the practical dimension as the supreme one.
And time will judge that.
Just as there were days of ceasefires, there were days of bombings in Iran.
I see no reason to get excited one way or the other. The sky is not falling except on the issue of the hostages. Military power is supreme - not fragile political power.
Hence, patience."

Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
