We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
THE FIRST PHASE OF THE GAZA DEAL IS ONLY ONE PART OF A MUCH BIGGER PLAN
President Trump’s plan for Gaza — which is actually a derivative of his broader strategy to reshape the Middle East, prepared in cooperation with Prime Minister Netanyahu over several years — includes several key components.
Equally important is when each stage will take place (if at all) and what each one depends on.
Here’s how it is structured:
⸻
Stage A – Immediate
1. Release of the hostages in exchange for the release of convicted terrorists, an Israeli withdrawal to the 53% line, and the introduction of humanitarian aid.
⸻
Stage B – Following the Implementation of Stage A
This stage begins immediately afterward and may be prolonged — or even stalled — later on.
Several moves will occur simultaneously and are not dependent on one another:
1. Hamas must lay down its arms, renounce terrorism, and its members will then receive pardons allowing them to leave for another country. They will not take part in managing the territory.
2. A mutually agreed-upon mechanism with Israel will be established to dismantle all terrorist infrastructure, including tunnels, and to destroy all weapons.
3. A “Peace Council” will be formed to oversee civilian administration — headed by President Trump in cooperation with several countries (likely the mediators) — excluding Hamas and other terrorist organizations.
4. Gaza’s gates will open, allowing voluntary migration — “whoever wishes to leave may do so.”
5. A temporary international stabilization force (ISF) will be established — likely composed of Emirati and Indonesian police units, accompanied by Jordanian and Egyptian forces — to secure the borders and prevent arms smuggling.
6. If Hamas refuses to surrender, aid will be directed only to areas controlled by the IDF or the ISF.
⸻
Significance
• Israel retains the right and authority to determine when Gaza has been fully demilitarized and cleared of terrorist activity.
• Migration will begin alongside demilitarization and could, in practice, partially empty Gaza.
• In the area under Israeli control, the United States may begin establishing a free trade zone — likely in northern Gaza or in the completely destroyed Rafah area.
• The IDF will maintain a peripheral security presence — including an expanded perimeter, the Philadelphi Corridor, and control from both the sea and the air over the entire area.
• If Hamas refuses to disarm and destroy its weapons stockpiles, it will be in direct violation of the agreement — allowing Israel to resume fighting and eliminate Hamas and its weapons by force.
⸻
Stage C – After the Full Implementation of Stage B
This stage will begin only once all prior stages and additional conditions are met, including:
1. Gaza becomes a demilitarized zone that poses no threat to its neighbors.
2. The Palestinian Authority — which is not a partner at this stage — must undergo deep internal reforms (which it has refused to carry out for the past 30 years).
Only then may conditions arise for the Palestinians to realize self-determination and statehood.
⸻
Implications
• The Palestinian issue — and demands for statehood or international recognition — which for years represented a “political tsunami,” will effectively be removed from the global political agenda.
• This will be backed by the United States and, more importantly, by the sponsors of the agreement: Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, and other countries expected to join the expanded Abraham Accords.
⸻
Not perfect — but arguably the best proposal put forward so far, given the circumstances of the past two years.

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 ...
