Hamas has reportedly approved a list of 34 Israeli hostages to be exchanged in a potential ceasefire agreement, according to statements made by the militant group’s leadership to Reuters. This development hinges on conditions set by Hamas, including an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the establishment of a permanent ceasefire.
Despite these claims, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) issued a statement on Sunday denying that Hamas has provided the names of any hostages thus far. The PMO’s assertion highlights the continued uncertainty surrounding the proposed exchange and the broader implications of any ceasefire agreement.
This news comes amidst escalating tensions following the October 7 attacks, which marked one of the most violent days in recent Middle Eastern history. Israeli officials have expressed skepticism about Hamas’s intentions and questioned the authenticity of their commitments.
In a related effort, Israel recently revealed portions of a harrowing report intended for submission to the United Nations. This document details the conditions endured by hostages in Hamas captivity, drawing from the accounts of those released in a November 2023 exchange and others rescued during military operations.
Health Minister Uriel Busso, whose office spearheaded the creation of the report, described the findings as a stark reminder of Hamas’s brutality. “The report depicts the atrocities that hostages suffered and reveals to the world the cruelty of the enemies we are dealing with,” Busso stated. “These testimonies serve as a wake-up call to the international community. The world needs to see the reality of what hostages endured – and what those still in captivity continue to face.”
Released hostages have recounted disturbing details, including being forcibly separated from family members and enduring psychological torment. Some children, for example, were made to watch videos of the October 7 attacks, further compounding their trauma.
The potential hostage exchange underscores the high stakes for both sides. Hamas’s demand for an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza as part of the deal has added significant complexity to negotiations. For Israel, agreeing to such terms could signal a major shift in its military and political strategies, while for Hamas, it represents an opportunity to consolidate control and gain concessions.
International reactions to these developments remain mixed. The report to the United Nations is seen by Israeli officials as a critical step in rallying global condemnation of Hamas. However, some nations have urged restraint and negotiation to prioritize the hostages’ safe return.
Amid these developments, President-elect Donald Trump has taken a firm stance on the hostage crisis. Speaking in December, Trump reiterated his unwavering commitment to securing the hostages’ release and issued a stark warning to Hamas. “There will be ALL HELL TO PAY if these hostages are not returned by January 20,” he declared, referencing his upcoming inauguration.
Trump’s comments highlight the significant international pressure on Hamas to act swiftly. His administration is expected to adopt a hardline approach, potentially influencing the dynamics of the hostage negotiations and broader Middle Eastern geopolitics.
The approval of a list of 34 hostages may represent a glimmer of hope for their families, but it also underscores the immense challenges ahead. Both sides remain deeply entrenched in their demands, and the possibility of reaching a mutually acceptable agreement remains uncertain.
For the families of those still in captivity, the prolonged negotiations and reports of abuse are a constant source of anguish. As international attention intensifies, the focus shifts to whether Hamas and Israel can overcome their impasse to secure a resolution that prioritizes human life and dignity.
The coming weeks will be critical in determining the fate of these hostages and the broader trajectory of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. With high stakes and global scrutiny, the world watches and waits for a breakthrough—or further tragedy.
America has never negotiated with terrorists but that changed when the Communist Anti-American homosexual Muslim Barack Obama cheated his way into the Presidency, he not only sold out America but he also invited the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House, and probably gave them confidential documents.
Then he released the terrorist combat prisoners from Gitmo and allowed them to return to the battle field to fight against the United States. What a fuc*ing Communist Democrat Muslim POS..!
Now he’s living in a multi-million dollar mansion with an estimated $180 million dollar net worth.!
How does one community organizer go from nothing to a multimillionaire.?
By selling classified information and stealing taxpayers money and kickbacks to bribery and so on..
And he gets away with it while not even a United States Citizen.!
I’m hoping Isreal doesn’t make the same Traitorous exchange.
Brother Michael I had been writing my comments and your comment hadn’t appeared until I was posting, so basically simultaneously we spoke out!
Negotiating with these Terrorists is akin to dealing with a Cobra Snake that sways back and forth putting on a dance when it’s not aggressively striking hoping to mesmerize or even hypnotize its prey!
Going back to Yasser Arafat who began the PLO and was always of the mind set of hostage taking and using women and children as human shields and not hesitating to kill hostages to create more fear as he was serving Satan!
And I see nothing different about the current day Regime behind all of this conflict and hate driven movement, which is only seeking to gain more power not actual peace and eventually destroy Israel with its allies!
Hey brother, your comment and mine aren’t to far off.
Great minds think alike.
Yes Brother, I looked at the article but there was no comments at that point, so I wrote mine and went to post it and wham yours was there suddenly and they matched fine!
Too Cool!
God bless you!
Michael, all spot-on and a real gut punch! Obama is that swaying Snake I speak of, who for 8 F-N years was “the leader of our country illegitimately,” doing all that “swaying and mesmerizing” BS dance, sucking in so “many stupid or easily led white shamed fools” that put “Political Correctness” (DEI) ahead of “God, Country and even their own lives” when they “sold out” basically to one of Satan’s own!
I can assure anyone out there that I’m absolutely positive “beyond a shadow of a doubt” that Obama was “NEVER serving America and its People” but was rather doing “all that was possible to hurt and destroy them!”
Some people still don’t see “the forest for the trees” and many think something good happened when actually our collective throat was being cut! They cheered on the “Father of all Lies own cohort-Barry Soetoro.”
Perfectly stated brother.
When this war started, on October 7, 2023 , there was a ceasefire in place. However, any temporary agreement, to get hostage return, should have our full support. F-35 stealth strikes are always deniable.
Sweet!
20, 40, 60 and 75 years ago little sweet Gazan baby boys, indoctrinated with NAZI inspired Islamic hate from birth, grew up to be rapists and murderers. So will the little boys in Gaza today.
Even Egypt and Jordan refused to take these animals for the threat they pose to their own rule.
K i l l ’em all Israel.
True they produce monsters full of hate and minds that only think EVIL!
I wouldn’t trust hames for one second. They don’t deserve to think they can order anyone around. They belong in jail or hung.
Israel knows what is right and should continue to do what’s necessary to stop the hatred once and for all.
Absolutely!
Joe Biden—on his way out the door—decided to reward two of the most destructive forces in modern American history with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Yes, folks, George Soros and Hillary Clinton, paragons of chaos and corruption, now join the ranks of true heroes like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. What a joke. If this weren’t so absurd, it might actually be funny.
Let’s break this down, starting with Soros, the puppet master of progressive destruction, and then Clinton, the queen of scandal who somehow always evades justice.
George Soros: The Billionaire Hell-Bent on Ruining America
For years, George Soros has poured his billions into undermining everything that makes America great. From funding soft-on-crime district attorneys to backing radical left-wing causes, his fingerprints are all over the mess we see in many of our cities today. And what does Biden do? He hands him America’s highest civilian honor.
Let’s not forget Soros’s greatest hits:
Defund the Police Movement: Soros backed candidates who gutted police budgets and weakened law enforcement, leading to skyrocketing crime rates. Don’t believe it? Look at cities like Philadelphia and Los Angeles, where Soros-backed prosecutors prioritize criminals over victims.
Open Borders Advocacy: Soros has spent millions pushing for policies that flood our country with illegal immigrants, straining resources and threatening national security.
Anti-Israel Activism: Soros’s funding of groups critical of Israel has emboldened anti-Semitic movements on college campuses and beyond.
But according to Biden, this is the kind of guy we should honor for his “generosity” and “commitment to democracy.” Spare me. If funneling billions into dismantling the rule of law and destabilizing societies worldwide counts as generosity, then Soros is the Mother Teresa of Marxism.
Hillary Clinton: The Untouchable Queen of Scandal
Now, onto Hillary Clinton. You remember her—the one who abandoned Americans in Benghazi, wiped her private email server “with a cloth,” and funded the infamous Steele dossier that fueled a baseless witch hunt against Donald Trump. Yet somehow, this masterclass in corruption gets a standing ovation in the East Room while accepting her Medal of Freedom.
Let’s revisit some of Clinton’s “greatest” moments:
The Benghazi Debacle: As Secretary of State, Clinton ignored repeated calls for security, leaving Americans to die. Her response? “What difference, at this point, does it make?” Apparently, it makes a difference to Biden, who thinks this deserves a medal.
The Private Email Server: Hillary’s illegal use of a private email server to handle classified information should have landed her in prison. Instead, it earned her a slap on the wrist from James Comey, who admitted she was “extremely careless” but not criminal.
Pay-to-Play Schemes: Let’s not forget the Clinton Foundation, a money-laundering operation disguised as a charity. Foreign governments made “donations” while she was Secretary of State, and surprise—they got favorable treatment in return.
And now she’s being celebrated for her “dedication to democracy and women’s rights”? The only thing Hillary Clinton has ever been dedicated to is self-preservation and power.
Biden’s Legacy: Rewarding the Worst
Joe Biden’s decision to honor Soros and Clinton perfectly sums up his presidency: clueless, disconnected, and completely out of touch with reality. This is the same guy who abandoned Americans in Afghanistan, crippled our energy independence, and can’t string a coherent sentence together without a teleprompter.
Instead of rewarding heroes who genuinely contribute to the prosperity and security of this nation, Biden decided to use the Presidential Medal of Freedom as a participation trophy for his corrupt cronies. It’s almost like he’s saying, “Hey, thanks for helping me and the Democrats wreck America. Here’s a medal!”
Communist Joe Biden the Traitorous Evil inhuman destructive son of a bitch to ever steal the Presidential election.
Don’t ever vote for another Communist Democrat again, Biden just shut down all oil production plants before President Trump takes office and it will have to go through Congress to reverse what Communist Joe Biden did.!
Brother so perfectly explained; this is the truth and hard cold evil reality that these demonic controlled walking dead own for eternity; or better put that owns them, where they will suffer eternally beyond our limited fragile human understanding; but, suffer they will, and that is a fact! What this comes down to is Evil rewarding Evil for doing it so arrogantly and getting away with it (without consequences); so they think!
Revelation 21:8 Amplified Bible “But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
to Lawrence and Michael, thank you, thank God you know what you are talking about, get rid of hamas.
Jeanette, your welcome.
Now take a look at my posting where Communist Joe Biden released 11 Gitmo prisoners.
Jeanette, yes you are always welcome and thank you for the thoughtfulness to say so but especially for your forthright concern in these massively unjust and dangerous actions unfolding in our nation!
God bless you and yours.
“Hamas Demands?” “HAMAS DEMANDS?!” “….34 Israeli hostages to be exchanged….” I would say ‘cue the laugh track, but that thing exploded seeing that.
What part of Israel will NEVER know peace as long as ANY of these Iran terrorist proxies exist is HARD TO UNDERSTAND? If Israel has Hamas or Hezbollah terrorist “hostages,” they should have already been EXECUTED! As John Stossel would say, “GIVE ME A BREAK.”
I wouldn’t trust hamas at all.
Why are we exchanging Terrorists for hostages? This is a disgrace!
This is an Emergency warning.. Please read.
What the Illegitimate bastard Communist Anti-American shit head, Prick in Chief Joe Biden did has escalated into a War and the American Citizens better arm themselves since it could happen to anyone getting murdered.
Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua plans aggressive border crossings at El Paso before Trump’s inauguration, raising serious security concerns.
At a Glance
Tren de Aragua gang members are attempting armed crossings at the El Paso border
Texas officials warn of nightly break-in attempts and potential harm to National Guard soldiers
The gang is rushing to enter the U.S. before expected stricter immigration policies under Trump
Texas Governor Greg Abbott labels Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization

Tren de Aragua’s Aggressive Push at the El Paso Border
The notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is mounting a strategic offensive at the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas. According to a leaked memo from the Texas Department of Public Safety, armed gang members are planning repeated attempts to breach the border. This aggressive move comes as the United States prepares for a change in administration, with the gang apparently aiming to exploit the transition period before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
The situation has escalated rapidly, with reports of 20 gang members, armed with knives and broken liquor bottles, attempting to force their way through a border gate. This incident is part of a larger pattern of violence, including increased gunfire near the El Paso border and confrontations with Texas National Guard soldiers.
Nightly Threats and Security Concerns
An anonymous informant has revealed a chilling pattern of nightly break-in attempts, typically occurring around 3 a.m. The source warned that these incursions would “continue every night” with the intent to “cause harm” to Texas National Guard soldiers. This information has put border security forces on high alert, highlighting the immediate danger posed by the Tren de Aragua gang.
The urgency of the situation is underscored by the gang’s apparent awareness of the upcoming change in U.S. administration. Retired Homeland Security Investigations agent Victor Avila noted that the gang is acting with the knowledge that stricter immigration policies are likely to be implemented after President-elect Trump’s inauguration.
“You’re seeing that violence at the border because they know that it’s going to change in 13 days. It’s going to change. It’s going to be different, and they’re going to be sought after,” said Avila.
Texas Takes Action Against Tren de Aragua
In response to the escalating threat, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken decisive action, designating Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization. This classification allows for more robust measures to combat the gang’s activities. Abbott stated, “Texas is aggressively going after these foreign terrorist organizations of TdA,” signaling a commitment to enhanced border security and law enforcement efforts.
The state has deployed additional law enforcement resources to the border and instituted a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence for gang-related smuggling activities. These measures aim to deter further incursions and disrupt the gang’s operations within the United States.
Expanding Influence and Collaboration with Cartels
The Tren de Aragua gang’s threat extends beyond the immediate border area. Reports indicate that the gang has established a presence in 16 states, including recent expansions into Montana, Virginia, and Wyoming, as well as the District of Columbia. Of particular concern is the gang’s foothold in Colorado, especially in Aurora, where they took over an apartment complex.
Further complicating the situation is the gang’s collaboration with Mexican cartels for smuggling operations. This partnership amplifies the gang’s reach and resources, making it an even more formidable threat to U.S. border security and internal safety.
Looking Ahead: Border Security in Transition
As the United States prepares for a change in administration, the actions of the Tren de Aragua gang at the El Paso border underscore the critical importance of maintaining robust border security during periods of transition. The contrast between the outgoing administration’s policies and President-elect Trump’s promise to strengthen border security is stark, with the gang’s aggressive push serving as a testament to the immediate challenges facing the incoming administration.
The situation at the El Paso border remains fluid, with law enforcement and border security forces on high alert. As the inauguration approaches, all eyes will be on how the new administration addresses this pressing security threat and implements its promised border wall.
Michael thank you for this excellent on the ground specific analysis of the current developing situation on the Southern Border and exactly what it means to all Americans!
This award is beyond cheapened it is relegated to the trash heap of history by these evil people twisting lies into their form of truth! Just like was done to the Nobel Prize once offered to those who truly accomplished some great good for humanity! “The Nobel Prizes are five separate prizes awarded to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” Wikipedia
Of a similar evil manipulation of such an award as here in this case when the globalist cabal used it for political propaganda in “deceiving the world about climate change” in order to implement the “Global Reset” and assert totalitarian control globally. Exactly a similar sham just like this fake devious use the of Nobel Peace Prize once a fine honor is now a joke after giving it to that Twit Kid Greta Thunberg who is a phony propaganda tool of the Globalists Climate Change Fiasco, for her yelling at mankind; “HOW DARE YOU!”
Isaiah 5:20-21 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter. 21Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.”
Now the epitome of evil shams with this horrible display or flaunting of this “evil maniacal” woman Killery Clinton for her involvement in many so called “sudden accidental deaths” (hit jobs) of close associates that were going to open a can of worms for her many crimes to be exposed, and then this “old evil as they come” former WW II Nazi who as a teen informant was handing over the locations of Jews that were in hiding from Hitler’s Gestapo so that the “Storm Troopers could drag them off to the trains heading to the Death Camps” and then he would steal all of their belongings, is “the lowest insult and bloodstained travesty” to be heaped upon this “once Great America that stood for actual Liberty, Justice and human God given rights!
“Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization,” as I quote this point you brought out I want to spell out what I also see happening overall. This gang like MS-13, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Colombian/Mexican Drug Cartels all of them are Satan worshiping and just like many individuals in the WEF, WHO, UN along with Biden, Soros, Garland, Mayorkas, Clinton and so many others who are directly “serving the father of all lies.” And all of this is being orchestrated to bring on the collapse of America, but moreover to trigger WWIII, as all of the fiery flashpoints are being ignited simultaneously to create a perfect firestorm; and the plan is to ignite the entire globe in one final infernal (hell) driven inferno battle to destroy it all, while Satan grabs all the souls he can and destroys as much good as possible in the process!
Trump should do exactly as asshole Biden did just do it the constitution doesn’t mater as Biden would say. He had court orders to stop him and he did what he wanted to do.
Using taxpayers money to pay off college student loans.
Open borders taxpayers money to illegals. To many criminal corruption charges to wright down.
Sue that’s TRUE!
“Hamas agreed?” “HAMAS AGREES?!” They have ‘requirements?’ Making or negotiating with the Devil is never an option! What part of Israel will never know peace as long as these terrorist mobs are allowed to exist is hard to understand? As I was advised in my long ago military days, “Kill’em ALL, and let God sort them out!
This is a hard cold truth and fact!
Oh the issue it much larger and widespread now! I had just mentioned some facts about this elsewhere on this site which I reiterate here in this article.
And consider this about Muslims and the whole fraud called Islam! A few years ago this occurred on Christmas day which I never in my entire life had any such blatant Anti-Christ in my face attack, and of all things on Christmas day activity, which tells me that we are in the end times as Satan is working through all means available at a fever pitch to Attack Christianity and it’s faithful because the time is drawing near for God to return!
Tony in Your own words; “live the way you want and not dictate as you are just a human and not a messenger of GOD, like Jesus and Muhammad were.” Muslim hoax” I am wondering how you equate a “hoax” with facts of an Islamic Empire.” Wonder NO MORE, Pay attention and learn of your blaspheming error! You have a huge inaccuracy that needs to be corrected! Saying that Jesus is another prophet like Muhammad is blasphemous. First Jesus was not a mere prophet but was God Himself and therefore the Redeemer and Savior of Mankind as he said. Muhammad was only a supposed prophet and there is irrefutable evidence in the historical text of the time he lived that points to his being an outright liar and heretic as well as a criminal and child molester along with his being a polygamist!
The following statements are highly accurate and actually proven. “In 632, only months before he died, Muhammad apparently met for the first time with a Christian community as such. An official delegation of Christians, probably led by a bishop, came to Mecca from Najran in Yemen. After engaging the Christians in discussion, the Prophet is said to have realized that Christian teachings are indeed incompatible with Islam, after which the revelation followed that only Islam is acceptable to God as a religion. The Quran also says very specifically that those who refer to Jesus as God are blasphemers, and that Christians saying that Christ is the son of God is an imitation of Jews, who earlier had said that Ezra is the son of God. According to the Quran Jesus was only a servant; Jesus the son of Mary was no more than an apostle of God. Quranic verses dealing with Jesus’ death have been interpreted differently by commentators, but generally they have been taken to mean that Jesus did not die by crucifixion. For Christians the Quran has thus served as a denial of Jesus’ incarnation and death on the cross and of the reality of the Trinity.” (Oxford University Press)
These two points alone put Islam and the Muslims completely at odds with Jesus Christ and all Christians and are the enemies of such! Muhammad himself began this conflict and was the spoiler and Heretic directly attacking God’s plan as foretold by all the previous prophets going all the way back to Abraham. Things have been in conflict because of Muhammad ever since and are getting worse, this will not resolve until Islam is Chastised or obliterated as a fake religion started by a false prophet and therefore heretic! In Summary Muslims are in complete denial of what Jesus Christ said and who He was which makes them Anti-Christ and supportive of the Devil and all that is unholy. Basically Muhammad started this Blasphemy back in 632 AD and outright declared War on Christendom! Islam you yourself stated is an EMPIRE which puts it in the category of being a Nation not a Religion! It is not a religion that is backed up with solid historical evidence and prophecy over time by many prophets other than what Muhammad said, he made it all up, the heretic!
So in summary it is only going to end badly as the opposing forces are diametrically opposed and God’s judgment is coming in Jesus’ name to punish all of the evil once and for all time!
