Switching back to the Trump thread. As I've said above, we need to wait and see with Trump and his next rant.Some Yank and Trump think it....but...do the Europeans?

That seemed to be the Message yesterday, wait and see with Trump... mind you, there was some yank on newsnight last night who did complement Trump on getting a few things right... e.g. nato needing to contribute more to the defence of Europe rather than rely on the US
Let's be honest though. The average American would not pick up the fact that he couldn't pronounce one country and replaced another countries name for an entirely different one. They think the middle East is Kansas and Europe is a country after all.He doesn't even know the countries that he claims to have ended wars between

Interesting mate and very informative....thanks for posting. Is it the case,do you think, that the powerful family groups who could remove Hamas from the scene are willing to accept an Israeli state?Hamas and Gaza are not the same thing. There’s still plenty of Hamas that need obliterated. The good thing is they’re continuing to kill each other and always have been doing so.
The southern Gaza city of Khan Younis has witnessed one of the fiercest internal confrontations since the war began, between a Hamas security force and gunmen from the al-Mujaida clan - one of the largest families in the south.
According to Hamas, its forces raided the neighbourhood to detain individuals accused of collaborating with Israel.
Local accounts, however, described an armed assault by about 50 men riding in five pickup trucks, armed with assault rifles and a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher, who stormed the al-Mujaida quarter and killed five members of the family.
Armed relatives quickly fought back, sparking hours-long clashes with heavy gunfire.
Reports circulating on social media – difficult to independently verify – claim that more than 11 Hamas members were killed, with some of their bodies dragged through the streets.
Videos widely shared online, which the BBC has not verified, appear to show several bloodied bodies in military fatigues, alongside a voiceover alleging they belonged to Hamas's "Sahm Unit".
Another clip captured bursts of gunfire and an RPG hitting a residential building in the neighbourhood.
Local elders later intervened to mediate between the two sides, leading to an exchange of bodies aimed at containing the escalation.
While the exact motives remain unclear, the incident has heightened anxiety among Palestinians.
Many fear that widespread weapons, tensions between powerful families and Hamas's grip on power could spiral into scenes resembling civil war in a territory already gripped by displacement, destruction, and fear of further lawlessness.
It is not just the extent of anger which Hamas faces from its many opponents whom it has humiliated during its 17 years in power which is thought to be a key factor driving the group to reject Donald Trump's ceasefire plan. It is also the fear of violent retribution, of being killed in the street, since the plan requires Hamas to completely disarm.
The head of its military wing in Gaza has indicated he does not agree to the plan, which Trump unveiled on Tuesday, the BBC understands. The president has given the group until 18:00 EDT (22:00 GMT) on Sunday to agree to it, or face "all Hell".
I don’t think any of the surrounding countries will ever fully accept Israel.Interesting mate and very informative....thanks for posting. Is it the case,do you think, that the powerful family groups who could remove Hamas from the scene are willing to accept an Israeli state?
I think the Saudis were preparing to accept the Israeli state and establish diplomatic relations,which is why many think Hamas attacked the Israeli settlements..under Iranian influence. In my view,what the Palestinian people need right now is a visionary leader......a Ghandi, a Mandela...someone who can give their people some hope,and who accepts that Israel is not going away,and to build on the future,side by side with them in an historical land.I don’t think any of the surrounding countries will ever fully accept Israel.
We might see the rhetoric turned down and even an acceptance to live peacefully side by side with Israel, from whoever turns out to be the new Palestinian authority. It’ll only be temporary while they build themselves up to go again.
The real issue now, is making sure that the Yanks don’t make a pigs ear of this. As soon as Israel withdraw, some kind of peace keeping force needs to move in otherwise they’ll be all out civil war as all the different groups look to take control. The losing sides fighters would get out of there and then we’d have more battle hardened fighters making their way to Europe because they’re being ‘persecuted’
We need to learn from the lessons of places like Syria and stop that from happening.
Amen.I think the Saudis were preparing to accept the Israeli state and establish diplomatic relations,which is why many think Hamas attacked the Israeli settlements..under Iranian influence.
