Memo to Trump - Heed Waltz, Not Witkoff

Secure Freedom Minute

The Gaza ceasefire Joe Biden announced yesterday is a formula not for peace, but for more war. It would prevent Israel from finishing off Hamas and return the Gaza Strip to its effective control.
When Hamas predictably resumes its attacks, Donald Trump will be President, not Biden. Thankfully, his incoming National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, declared yesterday, “Gaza has to be fully demilitarized, Hamas has to be destroyed to the point that it cannot reconstitute….Hamas cannot have a role. ISIS doesn’t have a role. Al-Qaeda doesn’t have a role….These are hostage-taking, murderous rapists and torturers that never should…have any role in governing.”
For the moment, the ceasefire deal is on hold in Israel. Let’s pray that Israel, Trump and America are spared its dire repercussions and that the alternative vision laid out so clearly by Mike Waltz is realized, instead.
