Join Mondo and Mark Hitchcock for their in-depth discussion on President Trump's 20-point proposal to end the war in the Middle East.
A new Middle East peace plan is rising — not a two-state solution, but a Jordan-Palestinian confederation backed by the U.S., Israel, and soon, possibly Saudi Arabia. Could this be the first draft of the “covenant with many” Daniel prophesied — the agreement that begins the Final Seven Years? Today on The Endtime Show, we break down how this new alliance could reshape Israel's borders, Jerusalem's future, and the prophetic timeline of the last days. ⭐️: True Gold Republic: Get The Endtime Show special on precious metals at https://www.endtimegold.com 📱: It's never been easier to understand.

Ya'akov Katz is back in Israel following a two-week book promotion tour in the U.S. See the information below. It is a beautifully written, incisive analysis of what went wrong on October 6 and 7. A page turner.It was great to have him on the podcast to take a close look at what is going on in the Gaza Strip - and what is not happening. It is almost one month since the Trump Peace Plan was signed and hope was high. Less so in Israel, perhaps, where so many weak spots were apparent. But it was something. And the first phase ensured that all living hostages would be released within days of signing. That alone was so important to the majority of Israelis. Incredibly, they did come out on Monday, October 13, after two years in captivity. A miracle that many thought would never come to pass. But then the chicanery began. Hamas has been dragging out the return of bodies of the hostages murdered in captivity. Why? Each day buys them time; to re-arm and regroup. And that is exactly what they are doing. Hamas controls approximately 50% of the Gaza Strip now and has no intention of relinquishing power or surrendering arms. They never did. They are brutalizing the people under their control and also conducting ambushes of IDF soldiers in the area that is controlled by Israel. The situation is volatile and operations are somewhat stalled. Just who will disarm Hamas remains unclear. And this is what Ya'akov Katz and I discuss today.

Through a detailed examination of the events leading up to October 7, 2023, the book exposes the intelligence and strategic failures that enabled this devastating invasion. It takes readers back in time, showing how years of complacency, mistaken intelligence analysis, and a misguided policy of containment enabled Hamas to prepare for an assault that Israel did not believe was possible and that would change the Middle East.The book unveils the dramatic events of the night before the attack, highlighting the cracks in Israel's military and political leadership. It provides unprecedented details on how key warnings were missed, and how Israel ignored the growing threat from Hamas, believing that the group was weak and deterred. By exposing these failures, While Israel Slept offers a stark, sobering account of how overconfidence and complacency paved the way for disaster, while underscoring the critical lessons Israel must embrace to safeguard its future.Yaakov Katz is an Israeli-American author and journalist. Between 2016 and 2023, Yaakov was editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post where he continues to write a popular weekly column.He is the author of three books: “Shadow Strike – Inside Israel's Secret Mission to Eliminate Syrian Nuclear Power”, “Weapon Wizards—How Israel Became a High-Tech Military Superpower” and “Israel vs. Iran: The Shadow War.”Prior to taking up the role of editor-in-chief, Yaakov served for two years as a senior policy adviser to Naftali Bennett during his tenure as Israel's Minister of Economy and Minister of Diaspora Affairs.In 2013, Yaakov was one of 12 international fellows to spend a year at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.Originally from Chicago, Yaakov has a law degree from Bar Ilan University.

Send us a textThe project director on Israel-Palestine for the International Crisis Group, an independent non-profit focused on preventing and resolving deadly conflict, Max Rodenbeck discusses the Crisis Group's recent report on the Gaza Peace Plan advanced by President Trump. He describes how Trump's 20-point plan developed, its unavoidable ambiguity, the many questions about the ceasefire's terms and prospects. He notes sustained engagement by other countries, and above all by the United States, is a must if the plan is to advance beyond Phase I. If it doesn't, Palestinians in Gaza will be left in an indefinite humanitarian nightmare, unable to reconstruct their homes and their lives.
US Middle East Policy Coordination and the Gaza Peace Plan Guest: Mike Wagenheim Mike Wagenheim characterizes US Middle East policy coordination as a functional division of labor focused on keeping the peace plan on track while accepting that ceasefire violations are inevitable. He notes Israel lacks meaningful leverage regarding the expanding roles of Turkey and Qatar in Gaza because Israel failed to provide a comprehensive "day after scenario." Qatar's ongoing financial support of Hamas remains ambiguous, but the United States is focused on ensuring all partners do not upset the potential peace achievement. 1914 MT. ZION

With Phase 2 looming and infighting already starting in Gaza, they look at the role of the various international actors (like Qatar, Egypt, UK, US) in possibly creating technocratic governance of Gaza. Plus: Is now the time for an Iran peace deal and as the UN Charter turns 80, what might the future of the organisation be?

In this episode of The More Freedom Foundation Podcast, hosts Robert Morris and Ruairi unpack the newly proposed 20-point ceasefire plan for Israel and Gaza — and why they doubt it will hold. Recorded just before news broke that the ceasefire had already been breached, the discussion dives into how U.S. politics, regional alliances, and outside influence from Qatar and Saudi Arabia have shaped this fragile peace.The hosts explore how Trump's financial ties and political support from Gulf states may have influenced the process — and how the recent attack on Qatar appears to have been the final straw, forcing a shaky ceasefire that's at least managed to reduce a massive amount of death to a smaller, tragic amount.We also reference a fascinating episode of Chapo Trap House, featuring Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill — journalists from one of Rob's favorite independent outlets, Drop Site News.
This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Jayashree Arunachalam and Shardool Katyayan are joined by Suhasini Haidar, Diplomatic Affairs Editor at The Hindu, and Dr Khinvraj Jangid, director and professor at the Centre for Israel Studies at OP Jindal Global University. Abhinandan asks Suhasini whether it was “embarrassing” for the Indian government to have permitted the press conference barring women journalists with Taliban's Foreign Minister. He also asks what pressure took place for a second presser to take place with women journalists. “The Taliban doesn't control the embassy in Delhi. The staff there still pledge allegiance to the previous, democratically elected government,” Suhasini says. “But when the foreign minister's team invited journalists, only men were included. By the time everyone had gathered, it became clear that an all-male Taliban delegation was speaking to an all-male Indian journalist group. There were women journalists outside who weren't allowed in, and it wasn't just women who noticed – men also felt this was wrong, and some even sent apologies.”The discussion moves to the Gaza peace agreement. Khinvraj says, “If you look at Trump, in this particular instance, he reversed his earlier, reckless proposal that Gaza be ‘wiped out' and the idea that the people of Gaza didn't deserve to live there. He achieved this deal through compromise, making what I see as a powerful course correction.” Jayashree is less optimistic. “Israel literally already occupies Gaza – it controls the movement of its citizens and what goes in and out. Yet it demands the surrender of arms as if a genocide hasn't already been committed. We're talking about hostages, but what about the thousands of Palestinians imprisoned and not called hostages simply because they're not white?”Timecodes00:00:00 - Introductions and announcements00:03:07 - Headlines 00:09:05 - Afghan FM's visit to India 00:45:57 - Suhasini Haidar's recommendation00:49:07 - Gaza peace agreement 01:28:39 - Khinvraj's recommendation 01:31:29 - Letters01:37:39 - RecommendationsCheck out previous Hafta recommendations, references, songs and letters.Produced by Amit Pandey with production assistant Priyali Dhingra and sound recordist Anil Kumar.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Haviv Rettig Gur, one of Israel's leading political analysts, for an in-depth breakdown of the Trump peace plan, the end of the Gaza war, and the chaotic aftermath now unfolding inside Gaza.With the hostages returned and the ceasefire in place, Haviv explains how Hamas has re-emerged from the tunnels, executing its rivals and reasserting control — while Israel withdraws under intense global scrutiny. He reveals why the Trump administration's 20-point plan to rebuild Gaza faces collapse, how Qatar and Turkey's support for Hamas is undermining regional stability, and why the international “stabilisation force” may become a new UNIFIL — protecting terrorists rather than disarming them.We discuss Trump's strategic play — leveraging Qatari fear, Turkish ambition, and American power to end the war — and whether this marks a genuine peace or simply the start of another chapter in a long regional conflict.All this — the Trump deal, Hamas's resurgence, Qatar's influence, American troops in Gaza, and the uncertain new world order emerging in the Middle East.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction01:45 The End of the Gaza War: What's Next?05:22 The Trump Peace Deal Explained09:30 What Happens to Gaza Now?14:10 Why Israel Withdrew — and What It Means18:55 The Return of Hamas: Tunnel Resurgence & Executions24:40 Qatar, Turkey & Hamas's Continued Influence30:20 The Role of the U.S. in Gaza's Future34:55 Can Gaza Be Rebuilt Without Hamas?40:40 What the Trump Administration Got Right and Wrong46:10 Will an International Force Stabilise Gaza or Fail Like UNIFIL?51:05 Media Narratives, Lawfare & Global Pressure on Israel58:30 Haviv's Warning on Iran and the Next War1:04:50 The Psychological Aftermath of October 7th1:10:35 Israel's Strategic Dilemma: Peace or Perpetual Conflict?1:16:40 Final Thoughts & The Path Forward Hosted on Acast.

For years I've said Donald Trump would walk in the Cyrus anointing, and what we're seeing now proves it. A prophetic shift is happening in Israel as global powers rally around a peace plan that may not be what it seems . The Bible warns of nations dividing God's land and calling it peace, but this moment could carry far greater spiritual implications. What's unfolding may reveal how close we are to the next move in God's timetable, and why discernment is the believer's greatest weapon right now.

After two incredibly long years, we are finally able to celebrate the return of all living Israeli hostages from the hell of Hamas. Absent specifics and relying on a long history of failed “new beginnings” in the Middle East, Trump's 20-point Peace Plan begs the question, what comes next? With a successful Phase One and a fragile Phase Two, it is with cautious optimism that we ask: how will disarmament and demilitarization be successfully carried out in Gaza? What does this mean for Israeli politics and the looming election? And how will Western leftist groups react to the end of the fake “genocide”? Dan Senor currently serves as the Chief Public Affairs Officer at Elliott Investment Management in addition to hosting his own podcast, Call Me Back. Mr. Senor served as a senior advisor to U.S. Senator Mitt Romney and former U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan in their campaigns for national office. During the presidential administration of George W. Bush, Mr. Senor was based in Baghdad, where he served as chief spokesperson for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. Before that, he was a senior Defense Department official based in US Central Command in Qatar. Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

Politico’s Phelim Kine explains what’s at stake. Local lawmakers across the country are having trouble passing ethics rules to boost public trust. ProPublica’s Tina Griego joins to discuss how politicians on both sides of the aisle have blocked hundreds of ethics-related bills. Plus, why some airports are refusing to air a video featuring DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the latest area to face a potential measles outbreak, and the reason Halloween might be less chocolaty this year. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
The 20 living hostages still held in Gaza by Hamas were released after two years in captivity. President Trump arrived in Israel on Monday to meet with their families. The Wall Street Journal's Anat Peled joins to discuss what comes next. Thousands of federal workers received layoff notices over the weekend, as the government shutdown continues. The Washington Post reports on how the closure’s impact will start this week to affect the general public in a more significant way. Trump has described Portland, Oregon, as a war zone as he seeks to deploy National Guard troops there to quell protests against ICE. Zusha Elinson, national reporter for the Wall Street Journal, describes how police reports paint a different picture of what’s going on in the city. Plus, four people are dead after a mass shooting in South Carolina, the grassroots movement that was built by this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, and remembering Diane Keaton.

Donald Trump says Hamas is gathering the Israeli hostages "now", adding that he's confident the Gaza deal he helped broker will "hold".As thousands of Palestinians have begun returning to Gaza's north and Hamas has until midday on Monday to release the hostages, we hear from the Gaza Strip and assess what Hamas and Israel are likely to do now.Also in the programme: Donald Trump has said he could impose an additional 100% tariff on imports from China from next month after Beijing's move to tighten its rare earths export rules; and MTV, the world's first 24-hour music broadcaster, is to stop showing rolling pop videos in just about every country except the United States.(Photo shows Crowds of Palestinians making their way up a narrow coastal road to Gaza's north.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the insurrection act has been used at least 20 times starting in 1808. President Trump has to use it because we have Democrats who refuse to follow the law. Right now, we have a Democrat party usurping the Constitution. Governors and cities are not in charge of immigration. They don't have the power to prevent ICE from doing their job. Also, former FBI Director James Comey is a serial liar, leaker, and scoundrel who absconded with government documents, interfered in the 2016 election more than foreign powers, and brought disrepute to the FBI. Comey belongs in court and is lucky to avoid charges for other unethical acts. The democrat talking point is that acting US attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia prosecuting the Comey case has no prosecutorial experience. But in 1961, President John Kennedy nominated his 35-year-old brother, Robert, to be attorney general. RFK had no state or federal courtroom experience of any kind. The Democrat controlled Senate confirmed him. Later, Trump announces that “Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly!” The broad parameters of the deal sound very good. Rep Mike Lawler calls in to discuss the first phase of the Gaza peace plan. Trump has worked tirelessly to get the hostages home, but Hamas cannot remain in power. Lawler also discusses his confrontation with Rep Hakeem Jeffries over the government shutdown.

It is now Day 2 of peace talks in the region, with delegations from Israel and Hamas meeting in Egypt in an attempt to end the conflict. The peace deal – which was originally proposed by President Trump – would look to end fighting, secure the release of all remaining hostages and increase humanitarian aid to Gaza. After two years of deadly assault on the Palestinian enclave, the two sides will also look to negotiate Gaza's security and political future. Today on “Post Reports,” host Colby Itkowitz is joined by Washington Post foreign policy reporter Michael Birnbaum. He discusses who will be at the table for both sides, what the future of Gaza could look like and why these talks look to be developing differently than ones in the past.Today's show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy with help from Lucas Trevor and Sabby Robinson.

The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas. Hamas disarmament is a crucial Israeli war aim. The central challenge is the future role of the Palestinian Authority (PA), which Berkowitz argues is corrupt, incompetent, weak, and lacks democratic legitimacy, having not held elections since 2005. International recognition of a Palestinian state is viewed as counterproductive, as it rewards proponents of armed struggle. The plan anticipates a pathway toward a Palestinian state only after substantial and comprehensive PA reform, including ceasing terror incitement and abandoning the goal of Israel's destruction. Given the security challenges and the history of Palestinian rejection of a state coexisting with Israel, the realistic possibility of a two-state solution is seen as many years in the future.
CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION GAZA PLAN.. 1950 RAMALLAH 10-6-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas.

The Houthis also sanctioned 13 US oil and energy companies and their CEOs, citing the war in Gaza and US support for Israel. This announcement mirrored US sanctions and may be a precursor to resuming attacks against US-connected vessels. Israel's counter-Houthi air strikes have hit targets but have failed to deter the group, which also exploits connections with other terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). If the Gaza conflict ends, the Houthis might need a new casus belli to justify attacks, but they are willing to invent excuses if Iran wishes to continue stirring chaos. 945-1000 Life, Economy, and Chinese Threat Perception in Taipei, Taiwan Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang Anne Stevenson-Yang reports from Taipei, Taiwan, a vibrant economy and republic vital to the global economy due to TSMC, the microchip maker. Taiwan is characterized by a wonderful public culture where honesty and personal safety are prevalent. Despite its high-tech focus, the economy suffers from problems common elsewhere, including increasing income inequality, unaffordability, high housing prices, and stagnant wages. Regarding geopolitical tensions, the average Taiwanese person is largely immune to the constant threat from China, having heard talk of belligerence for the last 30 years. However, there is apprehension related to China's grim economic winter and growing concern that the US protective umbrella may be receding, leading to more interest in investing in Taiwan's own defense. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah. Iran consistently seeks to arm its proxies, but Hezbollah is currently on its back foot, having lost leadership, money, and the Syria corridor due to Israeli attacks and the new regime in Syria. A peace deal in Gaza would significantly weaken Iran, as stability does not favor the Islamic Republic, which thrives by exploiting regional instability. The morale of the Islamic Republic has crumbled due to external defeats and internal incompetence (failing infrastructure, high inflation). Furthermore, Iran relies heavily on China to purchase oil, utilizing a money-laundering network to evade US sanctions, securing an economic lifeline for the regime in return for natural resources and infrastructure projects. 1015-1030 Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah.

Taiwanese self-identity is deepening, particularly among younger generations. However, concerns exist in Taipei that the US administration's "Fortress America" focus is inducing doubt about Washington's commitment to Taiwan's defense, a doubt China exploits. Harold also covers the historic rise of Takaichi Sanae as the LDP head in Japan, positioning her to become the first female Prime Minister. Takaichi is a conservative acolyte of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo who emphasized increased defense spending to enhance the US-Japan alliance. Her selection was seen as an effort to bring conservative votes back to the LDP, responding to growing political frustration and capitalizing on sentiment against an influx of foreigners. 1045-1100 Taiwanese Resilience and Japan's New Conservative Leader Guest: Scott Harold Scott Harold discusses Taiwan's resilience, rooted in its democratic rule of law and high societal trust, which China attempts to undermine.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Europe Responds to Russian Harassment Without US Lead Guest: Mary Kissel Mary Kissel analyzes the European emergency summit in Copenhagen, convened due to alarming mysterious drone activity over European airports, likely instigated by Russia. This harassment, which includes potential risks like hitting a passenger jet, aims to create confusion and test the resolve of the continent. The outcome, focusing on a "drone wall," suggests that the EU is starting to take more responsibility for its own defense, a long-term goal of US presidents. Kissel notes that the US absence from the prominent conversation does not signal the end of NATO. She also highlights that politicians like Starmer and Meloni are moving toward stronger defense measures, realizing that their voting bases are unhappy with current economic and security outcomes 1115-1130 Syria's Search for Stability: Security Deals, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza Impact Guests: Ahmad Sharawi, Bill Roggio Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss Syrian President al-Sharaa's focus on stability and his pursuit of a security agreement with Israel. Negotiating away the Golan Heights is considered a non-starter for al-Sharaa's survival, as his father, Hafez Assad, is often seen as the man who lost the territory, and al-Sharaa would be domestically labeled a traitor by all segments of the Syrian population, including hardliners. A full peace agreement is out of the question, but a limited security agreement might be possible, allowing Israel to maintain its presence in the Golan Heights while potentially withdrawing from areas entered after the fall of the Assad regime. The end of the war in Gaza is expected to expedite negotiations between Syria and Israel toward a security deal, as it affects the optics of al-Sharaa making such a move in the Arab world. Al-Sharaa's main priority is removing Israeli presence and stopping Israeli air strikes inside southern Syria 1130-1145 Russia's Multi-Front War: European Drones, Space Threats, and Tomahawk Missiles Guests: John Hardie, Bill Roggio John Hardie discusses Russia's expanding conflict, which includes drones over European airports like Munich and Berlin, viewed by Denmark as Russian "gray zone" activity aimed at testing Western response. NATO has been slow to adopt cost-effective counter-drone measures, unlike Ukraine's use of mobile fire groups. Russia is also engaging in anti-satellite activity, with Russian satellites reportedly stalking UK military satellites in low Earth orbit. Russia continues to target Ukrainian energy infrastructure with massive barrages as winter approaches. The US is reportedly considering supplying longer-range Tomahawk missiles to allies for transfer to Ukraine. These missiles could strike deep into Russian military-industrial sites, which, coupled with economic pressure, might convince Putin to pause the war. 1145-1200 Russia's Multi-Front War: European Drones, Space Threats, and Tomahawk Missiles Guests: John Hardie, Bill Roggio J FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman Joe Truzman details the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, which center on the release of the remaining 48 hostages (living and deceased) within 72 hours, potentially in exchange for a significant number of Palestinian prisoners, including convicted terrorists. The central obstacle to peace is Hamas's refusal to disarm, viewing it as tantamount to surrendering their identity. Fighting has lessened, with Israel toning down air strikes, possibly to show goodwill to President Trump. Truzman emphasizes that if Hamas retains its arms, another conflict is inevitable. He also notes the rise in reported Hamas plots in Europe, something uncommon historically, indicating the organization may be branching out its operations and feeling emboldened, as seen in the recent deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester. 1215-1230 Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman . 1230-1245 Maduro Regime Threatens US Embassy; Lula's Concern over US Pressure Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá, Ernesto Araújo Alejandro Piña Esclusá reports that Nicolás Maduro's chief negotiator, Jorge Rodríguez, falsely claimed a third party plans to assault the US embassy in Caracas, but Esclusá warns that Maduro himself ordered the operation. The regime is allegedly interested in the embassy because they believe opposition leader María Corina Machado is hidden there. The regime, which stole the election, is now persecuting and imprisoning more opposition members than ever to infuse terror into the population. Ernesto Araújo views an attack on the embassy—an action against the "only thing that's sacred in international relations"—as very serious, suggesting Maduro is desperate for a bargaining chip with the US. Brazil's Lula da Silva is reportedly worried about the seriousness of the US attitude toward Maduro and may be softening his stance with Trump, fearing what information might emerge regarding the Foro de São Paulo organization if the Maduro regime falls. 1245-100AM Maduro Regime Threatens US Embassy; Lula's Concern over US Pressure Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá, Ernesto Araújo
The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas. Hamas disarmament is a crucial Israeli war aim. The central challenge is the future role of the Palestinian Authority (PA), which Berkowitz argues is corrupt, incompetent, weak, and lacks democratic legitimacy, having not held elections since 2005.

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a plan that could yield an end to the war in Gaza. But Hamas was not involved in crafting the 20-point plan, and it's not clear whether they will agree to it. We discuss what benefits the plan has for each side and how the United States' involvement fits into Trump's America-first vision.This episode: voting and election security correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez, and national security correspondent Greg Myre.This podcast was produced by Casey Morell & Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the broad parameters of the Trump Gaza peace plan are solid and positive. Key positives include: no restrictions on annexing Judea and Samaria (unlike earlier drafts); no automatic grant of a Palestinian state, as it requires an unlikely cultural transformation and uses non-binding language; and U.S. support for Israel to militarily confront Hamas if they reject or sabotage the deal. Also, there are media outlets like Axios and Mediaite who are running a smear campaign against PM Benjamin Netanyahu, involving anonymous White House leakers who criticize him and Israel. The leaks are cowardly and the undermine President Trump, U.S. foreign policy, and Israel. Later, Charlie Kirk wrote a May 2 letter to Netanyahu expressing his "deep love" for Israel and concern over rising anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiments on social media, particularly among Gen Z. Finally, Democrats are plotting a government shutdown to try and gain political advantage, believing it hurts the party in power. But Trump is ready to fight back aggressively, including by firing federal employees to minimize impact on the private sector. Despite shutdowns, government revenue continues unchanged, but Democrats demand an extra $1.5 trillion in spending, including free health care for illegal immigrants.
