My friends and I have been out all day protesting against this ceasefire. We demand a ceasefire that wasn’t arranged by Donald Trump. We will never give up the struggle for peace. ✊

Watching Israeli media today, watching wall-to wall optimism, I was struck by a surprising and jarring thought. All of this hinges on the honesty of Hamas, a terrorist group, and Qatar, its terror pay masters.


Fun fact: You could fit the micro state of Qatar into the boundaries of Idaho approximately 18.7 times.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."



Tom Friedman cites himself plenty. So I dont often do it for him. Especially because he is so often wrong. But his message here is on target: nytimes.com/2025/10/09/opi…


Israel will apparently not release the bodies of Yahya Sinwar and his brother Mohammed in the deal, contrary to previous reports srugim.co.il/1252018-=

🇹🇷 doesn't want F-35s and F110 engines etc. bc it's interested in being a US-NATO ally. It wants them "so that it can go its own way, develop its own capabilities and eventually, compete with the United States" My latest for @RCDefense w/ Will Doran realcleardefense.com/articles/2025/…

A deal has been made. Now what? Former Israeli National Security Advisor Eyal Hulata joins @JSchanzer on the FDD Morning Brief to assess what comes next for Israeli leadership and regional security. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…


🤮

Exclusive: Qatar's Shura Council just co-hosted the UN’s big “Global Counter-Terrorism” conference on the anniversary of Oct. 7th. Farcical, given this is the same regime that supported Hamas for decades — and sheltered the 9/11 mastermind, by the way. But it gets even wilder🧵

A hostage deal is in motion with a lot still up in the air — Israel's strategic challenges are far from over. On the @FDD Morning Brief, Fmr Israeli NatSec Advisor Eyal Hulata and I break down Israel's evolving multi-front strategy. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…


Thank you, Hugh!

Every network that features any or all of @Nadav_Eyal, @havivrettiggur, @YKleinHalevi, @DrMichaelOren and/or @amitsegal is at least trying to get an accurate dose of Israeli reality. The most important podcasts for today through the end of the process are “Call Me Back” from…



I interrupt this foreign policy feed to inform you that the @Phillies suck in the post-season. Now back to more important things that somehow make me less infuriated than post-season baseball.

On the FDD Morning Brief with @JSchanzer, @YKleinHalevi explains: just as the Yom Kippur War led to Israel's first Arab peace agreement, the current conflict may reshape regional dynamics in unexpected ways. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=iGVoKC…
