As usual, Western colonial savagery presents its demands for surrender as "peace." There is nothing to see here. "Israel," however does not accept surrender from its victims. Those who surrender to this evil regime are annihilated anyway by these psychopathic barbarians
Israel apologizes for its attack on Qatar during a call between the US President, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Israeli Prime Minister.
@TalAbdulrazaq
This is what the kids call a "cucking ritual".
Israel bombed Qatar, hit a civilian area, killed Qataris, and all Netanyahu has to do is say to Tamim, "Sorry, mate, won't happen again" and, with Trump bending him over his desk, Tamim resumes his role in "mediating" the surrender of Gaza to Tony Blair - a man who should stand trial for the genocide of Iraqis and the destruction of their country.
What is the purpose of all your weapons and jets and advanced armaments and bottomless bank accounts? You're nothing but slaves in fancy clothes and palaces.
I welcome President Trump’s 20-point plan to ensure an end to the war in Gaza.
I am also convinced that durable peace between the Palestinian people and Israel would be essential in bringing political stability and economic growth to the region

This Trump deal to end the Gaza war is completely unacceptable.
It basically calls for the surrender of the Palestinians. A demilitarised Gaza, no Hamas, Trump and Tony Blair to oversee transition before the quisling Palestinian Authority takes over.
The end goal is complete Israeli domination and the normalisation of relations with all surrounding countries.
If the Arab and Muslim leaders have signed up to this farce they are basically working for Israel.

The voice of the Ummah needs to make it loud and clear to the Arab and Muslim nations who back this historic surrender deal that they have crossed a red line and we will not accept their treachery.
I don't know what this would have to do with Bagram.
But some type of bribery from the Gulf Arabs to go along with this treachery, .
That Saudi+Pakistan defence pact made zero sense. Considering the Saudi's would never come to Pakistan's aid in a war. It seemed like a cover for something else and here we are. Probably some sort of financial aid package in exchange for supporting this treachery.
Trump may have cut a side deal with Pakistan. America gets easier access to Bagram with Pakistan's help and Islamabad threw support behind his Gaza plan. In return, Pakistan bagged a load of U.S. cash and a promise that Washington would keep India in line.
Any reference for that..?
And how will this facilitate easier access to Bagram? And what benefit would it bring Pakistan by having an American base in bagram? when it would alienate a more reliable ally in China.

People are missing something important: The reason “Israel” still needs to demand that the resistance to its genocidal evil voluntarily disarms is because after two years, and the total backing of Western barbarism, “Israel” has not been able to defeat the resistance (as opposed to hospitals and babies). It’s totally false to claim that what “Israel” will do next depends on a decision from Hamas or any other Palestinian party (Ask Mahmoud Abbas). To even consider this is to fall into a Zionist trap. No Palestinian is or has ever been responsible for the evil done by Zionism or can alter the course of Zionism by negotiating with it. Palestinians have never “brought it on themselves.” Zionism’s unvarying goal is and has always been the destruction of the Palestinian people and the theft of all their land. Agreements have only ever delayed and postponed, but at no time have the Zionists ever renounced their goals. The Zionists just wait for the right moment to advance again. The only choice Palestinians have ever been given is to accept certain destruction or to resist, albeit with no guarantee of success. That has never been clearer than now. You can coexist with Zionism just as much as you can coexist with a house fire. Either you extinguish it or it consumes you. The world has to put out this fire with all necessary means
Pakistan is essentially willing to sacrifice China's friendship for slavery to the US. Even in their strongest days the China-Pak friendship does not fetch the faasiq Pak military any dollars for their own use. Whereas the US always provides them with the cash whenever they need. Whether or not this is the official policy, it doesn't matter. Pakistan has long since been playing both sides depending on what the military dictates.
The Bagram airbase issue from what we understand here in Pak is that the faasiq military has promised Trump that they will get that from the Taliban by fighting a war directly with them. Trump will just have to fund the war by sending them dollars whenever they want. Trump is not opposed to this idea because it means they can get the airbase back without having US troops on the ground, which keeps his voters satisfied.
As for why Pak agreed to this stupid agenda of Trump's about Gaza, it's once again got to do with dollars, and also for the US and Europe ignoring the human rights violation in Pak that the military commits while trying to keep Imran Khan in jail and his political party from creating an organic people's movement against their rule.
The Indians want to believe Pakistan will continue with Black September and push the narrative that they want to finish the job they were first assigned to do and that (allegedly) was to help Israel/America wipe Palestine off the map. :(
Hamas says it has submitted its response to Gaza mediators, agreeing to free all Israeli captives under US President Donald Trump’s peace plan and handing over administration of the enclave to Palestinian technocrats.

⚡️ ⭕️The writer and analyst in regional affairs, Dr. Reda Al-Shab
⬅️ As usual in setting political traps, US President Donald Trump suddenly came out, without introduction, to announce what he called the "Gaza Peace Plan", setting a theoretical limit to the bloodshed that has been flowing for over two years in the besieged Gaza Strip.
⬅️ However, behind this sudden announcement, there are more complex calculations than just a temporary ceasefire, as the plan raises questions that go beyond its content to its timing and hidden motives, especially in light of rising regional tensions.
⭕️The plan's features: conditional peace and disguised surrender.
1️⃣ Trump starts his plan with an "immediate ceasefire", presenting it as a humanitarian entrance to stop the bleeding in Gaza, but soon links it to a series of conditions, turning the truce into a test of obedience rather than a binding agreement. Here, "peace" seems more like monitoring the victim's behavior than seeking justice for them.
2️⃣ The central point of the plan is the complete disarmament of Hamas under international supervision, which turns resistance from a legitimate right into an "obstacle" that must be removed. In return, the occupation remains armed and fortified, making the "peace" equation unbalanced: one side is unarmed facing a force imposing its conditions.
3️⃣ As for prisoner exchange, it is presented as a humanitarian gesture, but it hides a false equivalence between thousands of Palestinian prisoners - many of whom are arbitrarily detained - and Israeli hostages in an ongoing war. Thus, the "exchange" becomes a symbolic scene that deceives with justice while deepening inequality.
4️⃣ Israeli withdrawal is presented as a reward rather than a right. It is linked to implementing conditions, making any "Palestinian failure" a justification for the occupation to stay. Here, withdrawal is not a step towards liberation but a tool for blackmail, as happened in similar experiences, most notably in southern Lebanon today.
5️⃣ The most dangerous aspect of the plan is the transitional administration clause, where Gaza is placed under international tutelage led by America through a "Peace Council" headed by names like Tony Blair. Thus, "transitional" becomes permanent and "peace" becomes tutelage as Palestine's national project is emptied.
6️⃣ Reconstruction comes as a conditional "prize". Money and projects are managed from outside and used as pressure tools: accepting political conditions in exchange for reconstruction or being deprived of it. This is stick-and-carrot policy with a humanitarian face.
7️⃣ In conclusion, Trump launches his most explicit threat: the plan is not an offer for fair peace but an ultimatum. Whoever accepts opens doors for aid; whoever rejects gives Israel an open mandate to complete the war under an unmistakable American cover.
⭕️The timing of the plan: A truce tailored for the next war
⬅️ As for the timing of presenting the plan, it seems - as revealed by Hebrew media - more like an Israeli-American need than a humanitarian initiative.
⬅️ Tel Aviv, after two years of war of attrition, needs a short truce to catch its breath and reorganize its military ranks in preparation for a wider round of confrontation.
⬅️ According to indicators, the declared goal in Israeli circles is to prepare for the "Great Battle" against what they call the "Iranian Axis" - namely Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq - at the beginning of the new Hebrew year announced by Netanyahu.
⬅️ Essentially, Trump's plan does not seem like peace but rather a new chapter in conflict management presented with humanitarian phrases yet filled with dominance and conditions. It's an attempt to impose a new reality on Gaza that keeps resistance besieged and gives Israel room to arrange papers for an upcoming wider war.
⭕️Therefore, it's up to the axis of resistance to read the message well: The plan is not an end to war but perhaps notice of starting a more dangerous phase where ceasefire turns into warriors' rest time and peace becomes cover for coming storms
What happens next:
The Lebanon Model: A Controlled Fire
The war doesn’t end; it just cools down. Gaza becomes like southern Lebanon, a “managed conflict zone.”
Tactics:
Aid and reconstruction allow life to resume partially.
Israel and allies maintain control through targeted strikes, assassinations, and surveillance.
Media and propaganda campaigns aim to delegitimise Palestinian resistance.
To slowly erode resistance morale without achieving true peace.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
