🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸🇪🇬 - There is a possibility that Israeli PM Netanyahu will attend the summit in Sharm El-Sheikh.

- Walla | @thewarreporterr

— Not going to happen, most likely. This is a major security risk not only to him but all the other leaders present.

🇮🇱 — Netanyahu cancels his visit to Sharm al Sheikh.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 - Only four bodies out of twenty-eight were transferred by Hamas to Israel on Monday. It remains to be seen when the bodies of the remaining hostages in Gaza will be handed over. The Red Cross said it could take days or weeks - and there's a possibility some may never be found.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸 The FBI has arrested Mahmoud Amin Yaqoub al-Muhtadi, a Palestinian from Gaza living in Louisiana, on suspicion of belonging to the Democratic Front and participating in the 7 October attack on Israel, Fox News reported.

— Another reason mass relocation was never going to work. Not only will the civilians relocate but so will the militants.

— Commentary: A very stupid claim going around right now is that "Hamas is fighting historically Salafi clans, ergo, Hamas is fighting Israeli-armed ISIS!"

Let's dissect this claim with sources:

Following the Second Intifada, many Fatah-aligned clans especially in the Gaza Strip began to be disillusioned with Fatah's participation in the Oslo Accords. At the same time, many of these clans were also Salafi. Thus many Salafi groups of various radical orientations were formed.

The Mujahideen Brigades (infamous recently for the kidnapping of Kfir Bibas) were one of them but so was the Army of Islam, represented by the Doghmush clan. These formerly Fatah-aligned clans became anti-western and anti-Israel jihadists and attacked the IDF many times, they were never proxies. While the Mujahideen Brigades worked with Hamas and became more legitimized, the Army of Islam remained ragtag and more pan-Islamist. The latter has no loyalty to any foreign group and backs both Al Qaeda and ISIS.

The history of Salafism and its connection to jihad in Palestine long predates even the existence of the state of Israel and was fundamental in the current of Rashid Rida (an early Levantine Salafi), Sayyid Qutb (although not exactly a Salafi himself), and Fathi al Shiqaqi (the founder of the Islamic Jihad, although pro-Shiite and Iran).

For Hamas in particular, Saudi-educated Nizar Rayyan represented the Salafi wing of Hamas, and called for a more radical transformation of secular Palestine to an Islamic Emirate.

Here's a picture from circa December 2014 showing an Al Qassam militant holding the ISIS flag (originating from Al Qaeda in Iraq).

Salafism and Palestinian jihad are absolutely tied from the beginning, among all factions. Don't spread nonsense.

🇵🇸- The new Gaza–Israel ceasefire may pause the rockets, but it’s far from peace…it looks more like Hamas buying time than backing down. A senior Hamas official openly admitted the group won’t disarm or relinquish control of Gaza’s security, framing the truce as a temporary phase rather than a transformation. While the deal halts large-scale combat and keeps foreign troops out, it leaves the core issue untouched: Hamas’s weapons and power structure remain intact. In reality, this “ceasefire” may be less an end to war and more a strategic reset before the next round.

The guns may be (somewhat) quiet for now, but life for Gaza’s few remaining Christians, believed to be barely a thousand people, hasn’t gotten easier. Many are still sleeping in damaged churches with little food or medicine coming in, even as the ceasefire officially holds. Both Hamas and Israel claim victory, yet neither seems to see the people caught between them. Neither side defends them. they survive by faith alone in the land where faith began. Pray for those still carrying the Cross in Gaza. ✝️

🇮🇱🇵🇸 - Latest, as of Oct 29: The Gaza ceasefire cracked overnight after Hamas fighters killed an Israeli soldier, prompting heavy IDF airstrikes that left over 100 dead, including women and children. By morning, Israel said the truce was back on… but trust definitely isn’t. Both sides blame each other for breaking the deal, and civilians are again paying the price.
