President Donald Trump on Monday unveiled an ambitious blueprint to end the war in Gaza, presenting himself not only as mediator but as future overseer of the territory’s reconstruction. Standing beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump said Israel had accepted the proposal and challenged Hamas to do the same.

“This war could stop right now if both sides agree,” Trump declared. “Within 72 hours of Israel’s acceptance, every hostage must be released. If Hamas refuses, Israel will have my full backing to finish the job.”

The much-awaited press-conference featuring President Donald J. Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu following the release of the President’s 21-Point Plan for peace concluded just over an hour ago.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said he is prepared to accept the plan. The response from Hamas has not been received yet.

President Trump said when describing his peace plan: “If Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible — they’re the only one left, everyone else has accepted it, but I have a feeling that we’re going to have a positive answer. But if not, as you know, Bibi, you’d have our full backing to do what you would have to do.”

Excerpt from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, September 26:

“So, I have a message – when you support their actions – this is a mark of shame on all of you. You support a Palestinian state next to Israel, but the problem is that they don’t agree with that – they want a Palestinian state instead of Israel. Every time they were offered a state, they only attacked us again.

“I don’t understand how the world does not see this, even though it is repeated again and again. You should know that the Palestinian Authority pays terrorists to slay Jews – it names its public buildings, its schools after the mass murderers of both Jews and Christians.”

An exceptionally large emergency delegation, comprising heads of regional councils, mayors, and the Yesha Council leadership, departed for New York on Saturday night to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of his meeting with US President Donald Trump.

Before boarding their flight, the delegation members stated that their mission is to ensure that no terrorist state threatening Israeli citizens is established.

Yossi Dagan added: “Prime Minister Netanyahu must make a historic decision. Only sovereignty in Judea and Samaria constitutes a true victory. Even among friends, there can be disagreements—but Netanyahu is the one capable of standing firm and declaring what is best for the people of Israel. The nation expects sovereignty.”

President Donald J. Trump’s announcement last Thursday, expressing no support for Israel’s annexation of Judea and Samaria, marks an exceptionally important and critical moment for Israel.

Whether Trump has demonstrated weakness by yielding to the Arabs, is engaging in a complex strategic maneuver, or is simply fatigued by the elusive peace we all wish to witness in Israel, the authority to exercise sovereignty rests solely with Israel.

As a sovereign nation, Israel possesses the right to determine its own course. The responsibility of implementing sovereignty across Judea and Samaria has now been entrusted to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Senior security officials are recommending the imposition of personal sanctions on top Palestinian Authority (PA) figures following the recognition of a Palestinian state by a number of countries in recent days, Galei Zahal’s (Israel Army’s) Doron Kadosh reported Thursday morning.

According to recommendations presented ahead of Cabinet discussions, the measures would include restrictions on the freedom of movement of Palestinian leaders in Judea and Samaria and limitations at the Allenby Crossing, compared to the current situation where they travel in secured convoys and enjoy full protective arrangements. The final decision will be made at the political level.

“Such measures are absolutely warranted and appropriate,” they said. “It is impossible to live with a situation in which PA leaders inflict irreversible damage on us in the international arena while benefiting from privileges from Israel which over the years have become the norm.”

IDF troops found a homemade rocket in an open area on the edge of Tulkarem in Samaria; Border Police sappers disarmed it on-site and transferred it for forensic analysis. The military says it is treating the incident “with severity,” and forces continue to sweep the area.

This comes days after Israeli forces busted a terror cell around Ramallah that was building launch-ready rockets; troops seized additional crude munitions, with officials noting some lacked warheads. Local leaders warned the Tulkarem find signals a “serious escalation” and a potential danger to communities in Israel’s center.

Thankfully the IDF neutralized the rocket, however this new incident illustrates the continued danger in supporting the delusional two-state solution.

In response to the recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Australia, Canada, and other nations, Yonatan Kuznitz, head of the Karnei Shomron Council, has taken decisive action: the council has declared the establishment of a new Jewish community north of Highway 55, further expanding the boundaries of Karnei Shomron.

“This decision sends a clear and unequivocal message: the future of Jewish settlement is determined on the ground by the State of Israel, not in the diplomatic corridors of foreign governments,” stated the council.

The saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” is a proverbial expression that promotes optimism and a proactive attitude when confronted with challenges or misfortunes. This phrase also embodies the resilient spirit of Zionism. It effectively reflects that ethos: when faced with lemons, such as the delusional support for a two-state solution, one should improvise, innovate, and extract something valuable. Consider the early Zionists who transformed swamps in the Galilee or the kibbutzniks who turned a desert into a thriving agritech hub. This approach is not merely about blind positivity; it represents a form of defiant alchemy.

Israel confirmed launching its long-anticipated ground offensive in Gaza City, Hamas’ last stronghold, on Tuesday.

Said Defense Minister Israel Katz, “Gaza is burning. The [Israel military] is striking with an iron fist at the terrorist infrastructure, and soldiers are fighting heroically to create the conditions for the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas,” he said. “We will not relent and we will not go back — until the completion of the mission.”

Following his recent visit to Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio conveyed to reporters that a negotiated settlement remains the favored approach for the United States. While AFSi shares this preference as well, it needs to be clear that negotiations with terrorists are futile, especially when their ultimate goal is the annihilation of Israel.

The IDF holds a firm belief that the ground offensive will weaken Hamas’s capabilities, thus fostering conditions that are favorable for the release of the hostages. Despite the increasing civilian displacement and global scrutiny, Israel must persevere through what we hope will be the concluding phase of this operation.

New information about the missile launch in the Binyamin Region shows that it was a homemade Qassam missile with a small warhead. Security officials estimate that the rocket, which was launched from the village of Ni’ma, had a range of approximately 10 kilometers.

i24NEWS reported that this is the first occurrence where a rocket in Judea and Samaria has reached such a level of operational development, raising concerns of an escalation in the use of weaponry by hostile elements in the area.

The launch failed, and the Palestinian Authority security forces managed to apprehend the terrorists who attempted to launch the missile. Security sources note that this is a precedent-setting incident and emphasize its seriousness.

Without question, this situation raises considerable concern. As Israel remains engaged in warfare on various fronts, the IDF is now tasked with further demands on its already overworked soldiers to develop new strategies to eradicate terrorism.

The chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Subcommittee for Judea and Samaria Affairs, MK Tzvi Succot, submitted a new bill on Sunday that seeks to bring about the cancellation of the Oslo Accords and to regulate the State of Israel’s status in the face of diplomatic agreements that have been violated.

The bill states that the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee would be authorized to determine if a side to a diplomatic agreement violated its obligations or publicly declared that it is not bound by it.

MK Succot said: “The Oslo Accords were a resounding failure and a serious security fiasco that was imposed on the people of Israel and brought waves of terror whose effects we are forced to deal with to this very day. The time for correction has come. It is time for the Knesset to take responsibility and legislate a law that will cancel these reckless agreements that endanger the State of Israel and give free gifts to the enemy.”

The Oslo Accords are regarded by numerous idealists as a notable historical milestone; however, in reality, they signify a deeply flawed attempt. The two-state solution proposed by Oslo was always an unrealistic aspiration, and it is now clear that terrorism has not abated while Israel confronts its most critical struggle to date. The harm caused by the Oslo Accords since their inception in 1993 is considerable, and Israel cannot revert to rectify it. Nonetheless, looking ahead, Israel has the chance to forge a future that guarantees the security and safety it needs, unencumbered by the constraints of an agreement that failed to deliver both security and lasting peace. It is time to revoke the Oslo Accords!
