Hamas fighters in Gaza City on October 28, 2025.
US President Donald Trump has defended Israel's renewed strikes in Gaza nearly three weeks into a ceasefire he helped broker.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered "immediate and powerful strikes" on Tuesday evening, citing Hamas attacks on Israeli soldiers still holding parts of the Palestinian enclave. At least 30 Palestinians were killed in the action, according to Gaza's Hamas-run government.
"As I understand it, they took out an Israeli soldier," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Wednesday en route from Japan to South Korea. "They killed an Israeli soldier. So the Israelis hit back - and they should hit back. When that happens, they should hit back," he added.
Comment: Trump's real understanding is so little that he is very easily manipulated. The Israelis of course know this and are happy to twist the 'facts' so that they are eternally the poor victims. As the poor innocent victims they are of course justified to defend themselves and so the genocide continues.
Trump argued that "nothing is going to jeopardize" the ceasefire. He insisted that Hamas was "a very small part of peace in the Middle East, and they have to behave," otherwise "their lives will be terminated."
US Vice President J.D. Vance earlier said the ceasefire was holding despite "little skirmishes here and there." Axios cited unnamed senior US officials as saying the White House had urged Israel not to take "radical measures" that could collapse the truce.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), last week two of its soldiers were attacked and killed by Hamas in Rafah, southern Gaza, and more soldiers came under fire in the same area on Tuesday. Hamas denied involvement in both incidents, accusing Israel of "a blatant ceasefire violation."
The Palestinian armed group warned that the escalation "will lead to a delay" in recovering and returning the bodies of the 13 remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza. Israeli officials earlier accused Hamas of dragging its feet in handing over all the remains, as agreed under the ceasefire mediated by the US, Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, which took effect on October 10.
Over time you meet enough wheeler-dealers and the Hidden Hand Men who pull the strings we don't see...and a realistic person wanting to move the dial realizes just how deep and complex the players are,...and have been for centuries.
Moralizing will get little done. I believe Trump is a genuine patriot who wishes to get us out from the claws of the City of London ruthless Brit Empire crowd of old blood power elites who don't give a flying foutre about your "Republic" or "rights."
This means Make A Deal. Work with the criminals, threaten, cajole, buy off, make it worth their while to switch sides. Even if he indulged himself in the toys and tasty bling of glitz and girls...so what? That's normal for the elite. What matters are his intentions. Yes he has to back slap the Devil and let him have his cut. This is War, the culmination of the last 6,000 year cycle, the End of an Era or Eon...not of all time.
the Changes are part of Cosmic Cycles. The Teflon Don is an agent of phase change. In war many are lost...as history shows is the constant norm century by century.
Watch Promethean Action channel. Not the media. The Don has to wade in the waters of the Deep State because that's reality. But woe to the Deep State...they have a shark in their midst.
