Netanyahu and Kushner Forge Gaza Victory Plan in Jerusalem
In a pivotal meeting that underscores Israel's unwavering commitment to total victory, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed top White House adviser Jared Kushner to Jerusalem on Monday, advancing President Trump's comprehensive Gaza peace plan that will finally dismantle Hamas once and for all.
Strategic Partnership Delivers Results
The high-level discussions between Netanyahu and Kushner focused on the core pillars of Israeli security: complete Hamas disarmament, total Gaza demilitarization, and ensuring the terror organization has no future role in governing Gaza. These non-negotiable objectives form the backbone of Trump's second phase implementation, demonstrating America's steadfast support for Israel's right to defend itself.
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and senior US adviser Aryeh Lightstone joined the Jerusalem meeting, which preceded an anticipated visit by US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff. This coordinated diplomatic effort reflects the deep strategic alliance between Washington and Jerusalem in securing lasting peace through strength.
IDF Maintains Strategic Advantage
The meeting occurred as Israel maintains complete operational control over Rafah, where 100 to 200 Hamas terrorists remain trapped in underground tunnels within IDF-controlled territory. This tactical superiority positions Israel to dictate terms for Hamas's final surrender.
While Washington explores safe passage options for these trapped operatives in exchange for weapons surrender, Israeli officials emphasized that all decisions regarding Gaza policy are made "in full collaboration with President Trump and his team," ensuring Israel's security interests remain paramount.
Hostage Recovery Success Continues
Kushner's arrival coincided with the return of IDF officer Hadar Goldin's remains, held by Hamas since 2014. This achievement under Trump's first phase demonstrates the plan's effectiveness in bringing our heroes home, even as we mourn their sacrifice for the Jewish homeland.
The exchange framework, requiring Hamas to return all hostages for partial IDF withdrawal and Palestinian prisoner releases, maintains Israel's strategic leverage while honoring our commitment to bring every Israeli home.
International Stabilization Force Faces Reality
Plans for an International Stabilization Force in Gaza under Trump's second phase encountered predictable hesitation from Arab nations. The UAE and Azerbaijan declined participation, citing unclear frameworks, while Hamas publicly refuses disarmament.
This reluctance validates Israel's position that only the IDF can guarantee lasting security in Gaza, as international forces lack the resolve to confront terrorist organizations threatening Jewish lives.
Regional Diplomacy Advances Israeli Interests
Trump's simultaneous meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa signals broader regional realignment favoring Israeli security. US-brokered talks on an Israel-Syria security pact, combined with planned American military presence in Damascus, create strategic depth for Israeli defense.
The ongoing Abraham Accords expansion, including potential Saudi normalization, reflects growing recognition of Israel's indispensable role in regional stability and prosperity.
Path to Total Victory
As negotiations continue, Israel's position remains clear: complete Hamas elimination, total Gaza demilitarization, and absolute security for Israeli citizens. The Netanyahu-Kushner partnership ensures these objectives will be achieved through coordinated American-Israeli strategy.
This historic moment represents more than tactical success; it embodies the eternal Jewish principle that "those who seek to destroy us will themselves be destroyed." Through strength, determination, and divine providence, Israel will emerge victorious, securing peace for generations in our ancestral homeland.
