Israel, Hamas Reach A Ceasefire Agreement: Trump Forced Netanyahu To Accept The Deal
January 15, 2025

Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire deal, with the agreement set to commence on Sunday(Jan. 19), as announced by Qatar’s prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. The deal, which was brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, includes the release of hostages and the withdrawal of some Israeli forces to allow more aid to enter Gaza.

The agreement is set to last 42 days, with the first phase seeing the release of 33 hostages, starting with women, children, and the elderly, and the withdrawal of some Israeli forces to allow more aid to enter Gaza. The deal includes the release of hostages detained by Hamas and Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons, with Americans being part of the first phase of the hostage release.

A recent meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President-elect Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, who was in Jerusalem and Doha, reportedly played a significant role in securing the deal. He apparently pressured Netanyahu to accept the ceasefire agreement.

The meeting between Netanyahu and Witkoff was reportedly a tense one, with Witkoff leaning on the premier to make the compromises necessary for an agreement, according to senior Arab diplomats and sources familiar with the negotiations.

“[It was] the first time there has been real pressure on the Israeli side to accept a deal,” one diplomat briefed about the negotiations reportedly said of Witkoff’s involvement. The Trump's Middle East envoy met with Netanyahu on Jan. 11 to push for the ceasefire deal following a meeting with the head of the Qatari mediators, Prime Minister Al Thani.

Witkoff did more to persuade Netanyahu in a single meeting than what US President Joe Biden could do in the past year, Arab officials are quoted as saying.  The three-phase hostage and ceasefire agreement is almost the same as the proposal put forth in May which the Israeli PM reportedly scuttled.

The families of the seven Americans held hostage in Gaza, only three of whom are believed to still be alive, said they were thankful for the new deal after 15 months of uncertainty.

“We are deeply grateful that there is finally an agreement between Israel and Hamas to bring our loved ones,” said the families of Edan Alexander, Omer Neutra, Sagui Dekel-Chen, Keith Siegel, Itay Chen, and Gadi and Judi Haggai.

“We have been waiting for 467 days while our family members suffer from life-threatening injuries, abuse, torture, and sexual violence. We thank President Biden, President-elect Trump, and their teams for their constructive efforts to make this possible,” the group added.

Videos circulating on social media show Palestinians celebrating in Gaza and West Bank, and Israelis in Tel Aviv, all hopeful that Trump's election will bring peace to the region.

During the presidential campaign last year, Trump promised to end the war in Gaza which has killed tens of thousands of people including thousands of children and women.

Trump had warned that there would be “hell to pay” if an agreement was not reached before his inauguration next week. He'll be sworn as the 47th US president on Jan. 20.

Thje President-elect celebrated the cease-fire agreement on Wednesday, with the incoming president taking credit for the breakthrough in negotiations. “This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies,” he wrote on Truth Social. “I am thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones.”

On his part, "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke this evening with US President-elect Donald Trump and thanked him for his assistance in advancing the release of the hostages and for helping Israel bring an end to the suffering of dozens of hostages and their families," the Jewish Premier's office wrote on X. "The Prime Minister made it clear that he is committed to returning all of the hostages however he can, and commended the US President-elect for his remarks that the US would work with Israel to ensure that Gaza will never be a haven for terrorism. The two decided to meet in Washington soon in order to discuss this and other important issues. Prime Minister Netanyahu then spoke with US President Joe Biden and thanked him as well for his assistance in advancing the hostages deal."

The ceasefire deal has been welcomed by world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, who stressed that it will bring a “permanent end of the war,” and French President Emmanuel Macron, who said that a political solution must follow the ceasefire deal to end the conflict in Gaza. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer also welcomed the deal in a statement posted on X.

Candace Owens' Assassination Plot Claims 'Entirely Plausible': Pavel Durov

American journalist and commentator Candace Owens has publicly revealed that French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron authorized and funded an assassination attempt against her, alleging the plot was carried out by a small team from France's elite National Gendarmerie Intervention Group (GIGN) and involved an Israeli operative.

The mother of four revealed that a high-ranking French government employee contacted her two days prior, providing what she deemed credible evidence of the conspiracy, including claims that the plans were formalized and that the assassination was linked to the 2025 killing of Charlie Kirk, whose alleged assassin trained with the French 13th Legion Brigade.

Owens also warned that French journalist Xavier Poussard, who has written about Brigitte Macron, is at risk, and she appealed to her followers to share her post, expressing distrust in U.S. government officials, who she said, are apparently aware of the plot. She made the revelations in a long post on X, labeled “URGENT,” stating she was contacted by a high-ranking French government source who claimed the Macrons had “executed upon and paid for my assassination.” Owens wrote:

Two days ago I was contacted by a high-ranking employee of the French Government. After determining this person’s position and proximity to the French couple, I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something happens. 

In short, this person claims that the Macrons have executed upon and paid for my assassination. Yes, you read that correctly. More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in National Gendamarie Intervention Group. I am told there is one Israeli that is on this assasination squad and the plans were formalized. 

Again, this person provided concrete proof that they are well placed within the French government apparatus. 

Further to this point, this person claims that Charlie Kirk’s assassin trained with the French legion 13th brigade with multi-state involvement. 

Journalist Xavier Poussard’s life is also at risk. This is deadly serious. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out. 

I ask that every person RETWEET and share this. 

I do not know who in the American government can be trusted, since this source claims our leaders are aware. But I have more specific information which is definitively verifiable, should they care to reach out to me. 

To the brave official in France who did this because they were so moved by the evil of Charlie’s public execution to risk their own life— May God bless you. Truly. 

Let all be revealed.

Owens connected the assassination plot to the murder of Kirk, asserting that the killer trained with the French 13th Legion Brigade and that the attack was intended to distract from her investigative podcast series, Becoming Brigitte, which questioned Brigitte Macron’s gender identity.

"I am told that payments for assassinations are running through the Club des Cent in France. Owens added in another post. "This means there is a paper trail and I encourage the patriots of France to do what you can to uncover it. I would again like to stress that there was a French female assassin but also a male, Israeli assassin that were selected to kill me. These are joint state operations."

In another X post Sunday, Owens revealed that she has reported the plot to authorities. "I have informed people in the Federal government and the White House of the France and Israeli assassination plot and am willing to provide full details, as well as the name of the assassins and international accounts in France and Canada through which money was exchanged," she wrote. "Beyond that, I have shared more information with the public regarding the Brigitte story I was investigating at the time of Charlie’s assassination. This is all available on my Instagram stories. Thank you all for reaching out and praying for my family."

No official response has been issued by French, Israeli, or U.S. authorities as of the time of publishing this story.

"The situation is extremely serious," Poussard wrote on X. "The head of the French state apparently wishes the death of Candace Owens and Xavier Poussard and has mandated specialized units to achieve it."

Commenting on the revelations, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov, who had been harassed by French authorities in the past, said Owens' claims appear plausible.

"After reviewing everything Charlie Kirk has ever said about Macron’s France, I find Candace’s info about French involvement in his death entirely plausible," Durov wrote on X, Sunday. "Charlie even called for 300% tariffs on France until the charges against me were dropped."

"Well-connected people have told me that the French intelligence services are not exactly unknown for assassinations, a point supported by public sources," Durov added in another post.

The allegations come amid an ongoing defamation lawsuit filed by the Macrons against Owens in an American court, which began in July 2025 over her claims that Brigitte Macron was born a man. She has also been facing criticisms from pro-Israel activists and Jewish supremacists for her investigative reporting on the fallout following the assassination of Kirk.

'About This Account' Feature On Elon Musk's X Exposes High Profile Non-American Users

Elon Musk’s social media platform X has launched a new “About This Account” feature that reveals the geographic location of user accounts, leading to widespread revelations that numerous high-profile left-wing, pro-Israel and Democrat Party-associated accounts are based outside the United States, including in Nigeria, India, Eastern Europe, and Bangladesh.

While the feature was intended to increase transparency and authenticity, it has sparked a major controversy by exposing that many accounts portraying themselves as American activists are actually operated by foreign users, raising concerns about foreign influence operations and the monetization of political outrage.

The feature, which shows where an account was created, when it joined, username changes, and app download method, was briefly removed hours after launch, fueling speculation about a reaction to the political fallout, though it has since been reinstated.

X officials, including product head Nikita Bier, acknowledged the feature has “a few rough edges” and that VPN use can distort location data, but emphasized the goal is to help users verify content authenticity.

The feature was rolled out on Friday, and within hours, users began uncovering that prominent left-wing accounts were based overseas.

The exposure has led to accusations that these accounts are part of a global disinformation economy, where foreign nationals profit from generating engagement through divisive U.S. anti-conservative political content.

While some accounts claimed to be from the U.S., X data showed origins in countries like Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines, with one anti-immigration account traced to Bangladesh and a network of “progressive independent women” found to be based in Thailand..

The revelations have prompted political debate, with right-wing influencers calling it a “complete vindication” of long-standing warnings about foreign interference.

The feature remains active, though concerns persist about the accuracy of location data as privacy experts argue that changing user' locations due to travel, and the use of VPN may render the feature unreliable.

Amb. Huckabee, Milstein Facing Backlash Over Meeting With Jonathan Pollard

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, along with David Milstein—stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin—faced significant backlash for holding an off-the-record meeting in July 2025 with Jonathan Pollard, a convicted American spy who betrayed U.S. intelligence to Israel.

The meeting, which took place at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, was undisclosed to the White House and alarmed senior U.S. officials, including the CIA station chief in Israel.

After his release from prison in 2015, Pollard, who served 30 years in prison for espionage, has since become a controversial figure in Israel, where he was granted citizenship and a hero’s welcome, including a tarmac reception by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He flew to Israel in 2020, on a private jet owned by Zionist megadonor Sheldon Adelson, who also funded his initial relocation and public relations campaign.

During the meeting with Huckabee, Pollard called President Trump a “madman who has literally sold us down the drain, for Saudi gold,” and reiterated his belief that Jews should have dual loyalty to Israel, even encouraging Jews to spy for Israel.

The meeting was kept off Huckabee’s official schedule and was not cleared through standard diplomatic channels, raising concerns about protocol and national security.

Pollard confirmed the “friendly meeting” in a New York Times interview, stating it was the first time in a decade that a U.S. official had hosted him in a government office.

The traitor has consistently defended his actions, claiming the U.S. withheld critical intelligence from Israel, and has labeled the Biden administration as an “enemy” that must be destroyed, using the term “Amalek” to describe it.

The involvement of Milstein, a senior figure at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem and stepson of a prominent pro-Israel media figure, has intensified scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest and the influence of hardline pro-Israel networks within U.S. diplomatic circles.

The White House was not informed in advance, and senior officials expressed alarm upon learning of the meeting, though Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president stands by Ambassador Huckabee.

The State Department declined to comment on whether the meeting was approved, and the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem dismissed the Times’ reporting as “filled with inaccuracies.”
