GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the
great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

26
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and
the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,(7X OR 7-DEGREES HOTTER) as the
light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of
his people,(ISRAEL) and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold,
the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the
burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his
tongue as a devouring fire:
MATTHEW 24:21-22,29
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days should be shortened,(DAY LIGHT HOURS SHORTENED)
there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake (ISRAELS SAKE)
those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)(THE ASTEROID

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and
the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken:
REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God,
which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him
glory.
EZEKIEL 32:6-9
6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
7
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the
stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon
shall not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9
I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy
destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not
known.
REVELATION 16:3-7

vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every
living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5
And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord,
which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6
For they(False World Church and Dictator and baby murderers by abortion)
have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them
blood to drink; for they are worthy.

6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
7
By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,
being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

1950-Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We
need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who
is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to
himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to
sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept
him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

of the Cabo Verde Islands and had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85

the U.S. Southeast searched for people unaccounted for after Hurricane
Helene struck last week, leaving behind a trail of death and
catastrophic damage.

The
Hebrew noun accurately translated “oven” refers to a “baking oven” as
distinct from a kiln or smelting furnace—both of which burn much hotter.
(The Hebrew nouns for “kiln” or for “smelting furnace” are more likely
to appear in contexts of God's wrath or judgment.)

wildfire disaster sparks interest in Bay Area emergency preparedness
classes-ByCornell Barnard KGO logo-Saturday, January 11, 2025 11:47PM
BERKELEY,
Calif. (KGO) -- Preparing for emergencies is top of mind for many of us
following the developing wildfire disaster happening in Los Angeles.On
Saturday in Berkeley, a free community emergency preparedness class saw
near-record turnout with people eager to learn more about keeping their
families safe."It's very important, because when this disaster is
occurring, you're not going to remember where your dad's gold watch is,"
said Carrie Dovzak.Dovzak has taught this Citizens Emergency Response
Team class, or "CERT," dozens of times in Berkeley but the interest in
preparing for emergencies has never been greater."I think the big
difference is everybody knows someone from LA. It's really affected the
people of Berkeley, knowing it could happen here," Dovzak said.There's
little doubt the wildfire disaster unfolding in Southern California is
causing Bay Area residents to think about their own safety. It's why
Beth Waitkus devoted two hours of her Saturday."I have several friends
in LA who lost their homes. It's made me really think about preparation
and what I can do, and what I can do to support my community," Waitkus
said.This class covered all the basics of what to do in the event of a
wildfire emergency."People who take these classes talk about how they
don't want to evacuate willy-nilly, but sometimes you have to get into
that mindset. If you see smoke, and you feel vulnerable, I would say go
visit your friends in the city, just get out of harm's way," Dovzak
said.Dovzak said to have go-bag ready with essentials like medication,
water and non-perishable snacks. And record the contents of your home
with your cell phone for insurance purposes."Open up the closets, look
at your clothes, go to the kitchen look at all your plates," Dovzak
said.There were so many interested in this Saturday class. A total of 70
attended. People were on the waiting list. Organizers plan to have
another class next weekend to accommodate everyone."I'm an elementary
school principal here in Berkeley, and I live here with my three kids,"
said Gabe Fredman.Fredman says the wildfires in LA are a wakeup call for
all of California to be ready. He believes preparing is the most
important thing all of us can do."You can't let these things fade. You
got to be ready at the moment. I try to balance that without having the
culture of fear, but I want to be prepared," Fredman said.C.E.R.T.
training classes are offered by most Bay Area fire departments.

LA
fires rage on as meteorologists warn of dangerous weather in coming
days-Death toll rises to 16, with another 16 people missing;
reinforcements continue to arrive to battle fires, given warnings of
‘critical’ conditions By Christopher Weber and HOLLY RAMER Today, 12:31
am-JAN 12,25
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — US firefighters
scrambled Sunday to make further progress against wildfires that have
destroyed thousands of homes and killed 16 people in the Los Angeles
area, as forecasters warned again of dangerous weather, with the return
of strong winds this week. At least 16 people were missing, and
authorities said that number was expected to rise.The National Weather
Service issued red flag warnings for severe fire conditions through
Wednesday, with sustained winds of 50 mph (80 kph) and gusts in the
mountains reaching 70 mph (113 kph). The most dangerous day is expected
to be Tuesday, according to weather service meteorologist Rich
Thompson.“You’re going to have really strong gusty Santa Ana winds, a
very dry atmosphere, and still very dry brush, so we still have some
very critical fire weather conditions out there,” Thompson said at a
community meeting Saturday night.Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony
C. Marrone said 70 additional water trucks arrived to help crews fend
off flames spread by renewed gusts.“We are prepared for the upcoming
wind event,” he said.Fierce Santa Anas have largely been blamed for
turning the wildfires sparked last week into infernos that leveled
entire neighborhoods around the city where no significant rainfall has
been seen in more than eight months.Twelve people were missing within
the Eaton Fire zone and four were missing from the Palisades Fire, Los
Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said. Luna added that “dozens” more
reports might have come in Sunday morning, and investigators were
reconciling whether some of the missing might be among the dead. There
are no children among those reported missing, he said.Meanwhile, the
death toll rose to 16 over the weekend. Five of the deaths were
attributed to the Palisades Fire and 11 resulted from the Eaton Fire,
the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said in a statement Saturday
evening.The previous number of confirmed fatalities before Saturday was
11, but officials said they expected that figure to increase, as teams
with cadaver dogs conduct systematic grid searches in leveled
neighborhoods. Authorities have established a center where people can
report the missing.Officials were building an online database to allow
evacuated residents to see if their homes were damaged or destroyed. In
the meantime, LA city Fire Chief Kristin Crowley urged people to stay
away from scorched neighborhoods.“There are still active fires that are
burning within the Palisades area, making it extremely, extremely
dangerous for the public,” Crowley said at a Sunday briefing. “There’s
no power, there’s no water, there’s broken gas lines, and we have
unstable structures. The first responders are working as quickly as
possible to ensure that it is safe for you to return into your
communities.”Officials warned that the ash can contain lead, arsenic,
asbestos, and other harmful materials.About 150,000 people in Los
Angeles County remained under evacuation orders, with more than 700
residents taking refuge in nine shelters, Luna said.By Sunday morning,
Cal Fire reported that the Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth, and Hurst fires
had consumed more than 62 square miles (160 square kilometers), an area
larger than San Francisco. The Palisades Fire was 11% contained and
containment on the Eaton Fire reached 27%. Those two blazes accounted
for 59 square miles (nearly 153 square kilometers).Crews from California
and nine other states are part of the ongoing response that includes
1,354 fire engines, 84 aircraft, and more than 14,000 personnel,
including newly arrived firefighters from Mexico, he said.Fighting to
save public and private areas-Minimal growth was expected Sunday for the
Eaton Fire, “with continued smoldering and creeping” of flames, an LA
County Fire Department incident report said.After a fierce battle on
Saturday, firefighters managed to fight back the flames in Mandeville
Canyon, home to Arnold Schwarzenegger and other celebrities near Pacific
Palisades, not far from the Pacific coast, where swooping helicopters
dumped water, as the blaze charged downhill.The fire ran through
chaparral-covered hillsides and also briefly threatened to jump over
Interstate 405 and into densely populated areas in the Hollywood Hills
and San Fernando Valley.Arrests for looting-Looting continues to be a
concern, with authorities reporting more arrests as the devastation
grows. Michael Lorenz, a captain with the Los Angeles Police Department,
said seven people have been arrested in the last two days.“We even made
arrests of two individuals that were actually posing as firefighters
coming and in and out of houses, so we’re paying very, very close
attention to everybody,” Lorenz said at Saturday evening’s community
meeting.Asked exactly how many looters have been arrested, Lorenz said
he couldn’t give a precise number but that officers were detaining about
10 people a day. California National Guard troops arrived Friday to
help guard properties.California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted on X Saturday
that “California will NOT allow for looting.”Historical cost-The fires
that began Tuesday just north of downtown LA have burned more than
12,000 structures.Firefighters for the first time made progress Friday
afternoon on the Eaton Fire north of Pasadena, which has burned more
than 7,000 structures, a term that includes homes, apartment buildings,
businesses, outbuildings and vehicles. Most evacuation orders for the
area were lifted, officials said.No cause has been determined for the
largest fires and early estimates indicate the wildfires could be the
nation’s costliest ever. A preliminary estimate by AccuWeather put the
damage and economic losses so far between $135 billion and $150
billion.In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC, Gov. Gavin Newsom said
the fires could end up being the worst natural disaster in US
history.“I think it will be in terms of just the costs associated with
it, in terms of the scale and scope,” he said.Inmate firefighters on the
front lines-Along with crews from other states and Mexico, hundreds of
inmates from California’s prison system were also helping firefighting
efforts. Nearly 950 incarcerated firefighters were dispatched “to cut
fire lines and remove fuel to slow fire spread,” according to an update
from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.Though
the state has long relied on prison labor to fight fires, the practice
is controversial as the inmates are paid little for dangerous and
difficult work. Inmates are paid up to roughly $10.24 each day, with
additional money for 24-hour shifts, according to the corrections
department.Overflowing kindness-Volunteers overflowed donation centers
and some had to be turned away at locations including the Santa Anita
Park horse racing track, where people who lost their homes sifted
through stacks of donated shirts, blankets and other household
goods.Altadena resident Jose Luis Godinez said three homes occupied by
more than a dozen of his family members were destroyed.“Everything is
gone,” he said, speaking in Spanish. “All my family lived in those three
houses and now we have nothing.”Rebuilding will be a challenge-The
level of devastation is jarring even in a state that regularly confronts
massive wildfires. Traum of the state Office of Emergency Services said
those impacted by the fires can apply online for immediate government
assistance.Newsom issued an executive order Sunday aimed at
fast-tracking the rebuilding of destroyed property by suspending some
environmental regulations and ensuring that property tax assessments are
not increased.“California leads the nation in environmental
stewardship. I’m not going to give that up. But one thing I won’t give
into is delay,” he said. “Delay is denial for people: lives, traditions,
places torn apart, torn asunder.”“We’ve got to let people know that we
have their back,” he said. “Don’t walk away because we want you to come
back, rebuild, and rebuild with higher quality building standards, more
modern standards. We want to make sure that the associated costs with
that are not disproportionate, especially in a middle-class community
like this.”Leadership accused of skimping-LA Mayor Karen Bass faces a
critical test of her leadership during the city’s greatest crisis in
decades, but allegations of leadership failures, political blame and
investigations have begun.Newsom on Friday ordered state officials to
determine why a 117 million-gallon (440 million-liter) reservoir was out
of service and some hydrants had run dry.Crowley, the LA fire chief,
said city leadership failed her department by not providing enough money
for firefighting. She also criticized the lack of water.“When a
firefighter comes up to a hydrant, we expect there’s going to be water,”
Crowley said.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and
gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of

Inside
story-Israel, PA ink deal to release $500 million in withheld
Palestinian tax revenues-Funds will be used to pay off debt to Israel
Electric Corporation; both sides declare victory after agreeing to
mechanism that US hopes can be used for release of additional money By
Jacob Magid-Today, 12:54 am-JAN 12,25
Israel and the Palestinian
Authority announced Sunday that they had struck a deal allowing for the
release of roughly $500 million in Palestinian tax revenues for use in
electricity and fuel payments to Israel.Both sides framed the agreement
as a victory after months of negotiations, which US President Joe
Biden’s administration helped mediate, according to a senior Western
diplomat familiar with the matter, who said the goal was to use the deal
as a framework for the release of additional funds that Israel has been
withholding from the PA.Under interim peace accords reached in the
1990s, Israel’s Finance Ministry collects tax revenues on behalf of the
PA and makes monthly transfers to Ramallah, but a dispute broke out over
the payments in the wake of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught.The
Israeli cabinet refused to transfer the portion of the funds that
Ramallah uses to pay for services and employees in Gaza, arguing that
the money could reach the Hamas terror group. The roughly $75 million in
revenues amounts to about a quarter of the entire monthly
transfer.Protesting the move, the PA refused to accept any of the tax
revenues, which make up the vast majority of the PA’s annual budget.
Unable to pay its employees in full for months, the move has risked
Ramallah’s complete financial collapse.In January 2024, the cabinet
approved a framework under which the Gaza portion of the funds would be
transferred to Norway, which would then be required to hold onto the
funds until Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich signed off on their
release to the PA.That mechanism worked for several months, and Smotrich
signed off on the release of some of those funds from Norway to the
PA.But then in May, Norway joined Spain and Ireland in formally
recognizing a Palestinian state, infuriating Jerusalem. Smotrich in
response announced the end of the agreement involving Norway.Oslo still
had roughly $420 million in Palestinian tax revenues in its possession,
but the Israeli Finance Ministry warned that if those funds were
transferred to the PA, Israel would dock that money from subsequent
monthly tax revenue transfers.With the PA’s financial state particularly
bleak in the year since Hamas’s October 7 massacre, significant efforts
were made by the US to secure the release of those funds. Washington
sought to recruit Morocco to replace Norway, but this idea was
eventually shelved in favor of the current formula that has removed the
middle-man, the Western diplomat said.More recently, Israel proposed
allowing the release of the funds if they were used to pay off the
massive amounts of debt that the PA owes to Israeli electric and fuel
companies that have accumulated over time due to various Palestinian
municipalities’ failure to make their payments.Ramallah initially chafed
at the idea, wanting more autonomy over how to spend the funds.
Ultimately, though, it caved after Israel made clear it would not accept
the release of the money held up in Norway under any other
circumstances, the diplomat said.Sweetening the deal for the PA, though,
is the fact that the payment of the debt to the Israeli fuel and
electricity companies improves Ramallah’s standing with Palestinian
banks who now see that it is capable of paying off such debts when
adjudicating future loan requests.The released funds, which have
accumulated interest over time, will go toward paying off fuel and
electricity debt in addition to covering such payments in the months
ahead, the Israeli and PA finance ministries said in their respective
announcements. Smotrich’s office said the deal resulted in the payoff of
$544 million in debt to Israel. He updated the cabinet of the deal on
Sunday.“The PA’s debt to the [Israel Electric Corportation] resulted in
high loans and interest rates, as well as damage to IEC’s credit, which
was ultimately rolled over to the citizens of Israel,” Smotrich told the
cabinet, according to the statement from his office.The agreement
doesn’t release the Gaza portion of Palestinian tax revenues that Israel
has continued to withhold since the Norwegian agreement fell apart.
However, the Western diplomat said the goal is to use the new framework
so that those funds can be used for electricity and fuel payments in the
future.Smotrich has been opposed to sending funds to the PA, which uses
the money to pay public sector wages. The withheld funds forced the PA
to drastically cut public sector wages for months.Israel also deducts
funds equal to the total amount of so-called martyr payments, which the
PA pays to families of Palestinian terrorists or the families of slain
attackers.The PA finance ministry said $570 million remains withheld by
Israel, bringing the total withheld funds to over $980 million as of
2024.“This has exacerbated the financial crisis, as the government
continues to transfer these allocations directly to the accounts of
public servants in Gaza,” the ministry said, adding that it was working
with international partners to secure the release of these funds as soon
as possible.Reuters contributed to this report.

This is the earliest instance of a phenomenon that later spread

Nablus, is especially important because numerous fallow deer bones were
found there at an ancient altar site. As Gerizim is associated with the
Israelite’s entry into the Land of Israel and is considered a sacred
site by the local Samaritan community, “apparently, the Mountains of
Samaria gained a prominent, or even sacred status as early as the
Paleolithic period, and retained their unique cultural position for
hundreds of thousands of years,” the researchers said.
An
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) event could have significant and
far-reaching impacts on a large city like New York, depending on the
scale of the EMP and the resilience of the infrastructure. Here’s a
breakdown of the potential effects:
Immediate Effects
Electrical Grid Failure:
-
An EMP could disrupt or damage the electrical grid, leading to
widespread power outages. This would affect homes, businesses, and
critical services.
Communication Disruption:
- Cell phones,
radios, and other communication devices could become non-functional,
complicating emergency responses and personal communications.
Transportation Systems:
-
Public transportation systems, including subways and buses, rely on
electronic systems. An EMP could halt these services, leading to chaos
and difficulties in evacuating or moving people.
Emergency Services:
-
Police, fire, and medical services depend on electronic systems for
coordination and operation. An EMP could severely hinder their ability
to respond to emergencies.
Secondary Effects
Water and Sewage Systems:
-
Water treatment and distribution systems are often electronically
controlled. An outage could lead to water shortages or contamination,
along with sewage backup issues.
Food Supply Chain:
- Disruption
in transportation and logistics due to an EMP could impact food delivery
and storage, leading to shortages and potential panic buying.
Economic Impact:
-
The economic fallout would be substantial, affecting businesses,
financial markets, and the overall economy, potentially leading to
long-term unemployment and instability.
Recovery Challenges
Infrastructure Resilience:
-
The speed of recovery would depend on the resilience of the city’s
infrastructure and the availability of backup systems. Cities with
robust emergency plans might recover faster.
Public Panic:
- The psychological impact on the population could lead to panic, looting, and social unrest, complicating recovery efforts.
Long-term Implications:
-
Depending on the severity of the EMP, some electronic systems might
require extensive repairs or replacements, resulting in prolonged
outages.
Conclusion
In summary, an EMP event could have
catastrophic effects on a large city like New York, disrupting essential
services, communication, and infrastructure. The severity of the impact
would depend on the EMP's strength, the city's preparedness, and the
resilience of its critical systems. Preparation and mitigation
strategies, including hardening infrastructure against EMP effects,
could significantly reduce the potential devastation.

Vance explains Trump's 'all hell to pay' threat to
Hamas-Biden stresses ‘immediate need’ for hostage-truce deal in call
with Netanyahu-PM said to meet with far-right coalition members to gauge
support for agreement; negotiators reportedly believe next two days
critical to determine if deal is achievable By Jacob Magid and ToI Staff
12 January 2025, 11:00 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
US President Joe Biden discussed the progress that has been made in
hostage-ceasefire deal negotiations in Qatar during a phone conversation
Sunday, as Washington continued to project cautious optimism about the
outcome of the talks.The call came after Netanyahu dispatched a team of
senior negotiators — including Mossad chief David Barnea, Shin Bet
director Ronen Bar, IDF hostage point man Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon,
and Netanyahu’s political adviser Ophir Falk — to Doha on Saturday
night, in a sign that talks were nearing their climax.At the same time,
the premier was reported to be assessing the mindset of his far-right
coalition allies — who have previously threatened to bolt the government
over a deal — in order to determine the response that a deal with Hamas
would garner, should one be reached, in what appeared to be an
indicator of the serious trajectory of the negotiations.During his call
with Netanyahu, Biden “stressed the immediate need” for a ceasefire and
hostage release deal, the White House said in a readout of the call.The
two also discussed “the fundamentally changed regional circumstances
following the ceasefire deal in Lebanon, the fall of the Assad regime in
Syria, and the weakening of Iran’s power in the region,” the US readout
noted.Netanyahu, for his part, thanked Biden for his “lifelong support
of Israel and for the extraordinary support from the United States for
Israel’s security and national defense,” the US readout added. The
summary from Netanyahu’s office noted that the prime minister also
thanked US President-elect Donald Trump for his own efforts in advancing
the “sacred mission” of releasing the hostages.The negotiations
underway in Qatar are based on an Israeli hostage deal proposal from May
of last year, which envisioned a phased release of the hostages, the
White House said in a readout of Biden’s call with Netanyahu.The
ceasefire that US, Qatari, and Egyptian mediators are trying to advance
is indeed still within the three-staged framework, Arab diplomats
familiar with the talks have told the Times of Israel, but Jerusalem has
been much more open this time around about the second and third phases
not coming immediately after the first phase is complete.Hamas,
therefore, is demanding assurances from mediators that there will be
some connection between the first phase and the subsequent ones, as it
seeks a permanent ceasefire. The issue remains a point of significant
contention in the talks, the diplomats have said.While the exact details
of the deal’s outline have yet to be publicly confirmed, a Palestinian
prisoner advocacy group asserted on Sunday that the first stage would
entail the release of 25 Israeli hostages in exchange for 48 Palestinian
security prisoners who were freed in the Shalit deal in 2011 and
incarcerated again since, along with 200 prisoners serving life
sentences, and another 1,000 detainees including women, children and
wounded prisoners.In a rare interview with Ramallah’s Maan news agency,
Prisoners Club director Qadura Fares added that all of the Palestinian
prisoners would be allowed to return to their homes in East Jerusalem,
the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, except those serving life sentences,
who would most likely be deported to either Qatar, Egypt or Turkey.The
former PA minister noted that the exception would be necessary for the
protection of the Palestinian prisoners against Israeli assassination
attempts.The Prisoners Club is a Palestinian organization that advocates
on behalf of Palestinians in Israeli jails. While the organization used
to be financially supported by the Palestinian Authority, Ramallah has
reportedly ceased funding the body for at least five years.Fares was
also quoted by Maan as saying that Israel has been pushing for nine more
hostages to be released in the first phase, including wounded IDF
soldiers, in exchange for a yet-to-be-negotiated number of Palestinian
prisoners serving life sentences.Critical days ahead-While disagreements
between the warring parties remain, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on
Sunday evening that significant progress has been made, and that both
Israel and Hamas have indicated that they are willing to be flexible in
ways they were not during previous rounds of negotiations.Specifically,
the report said that Israel was willing to compromise on matters
pertaining to the so-called Philadelphi Corridor and the positioning of
Israeli troops along it; Netanyahu had previously said that Israel
insists on the IDF maintaining control of the corridor, which runs the
length of the Gaza-Egypt border, for the foreseeable future.A senior
Hamas source told the Qatari al-Araby al-Jadeed outlet on Saturday that
Israel would not fully withdraw from the route until the last day of the
agreement’s final phase, but would instead gradually reduce its
presence during the earlier two stages of the deal.Channel 12 also cited
senior Israeli officials as saying that the next two days in Doha will
be critical in understanding whether an agreement is possible.“It’s
possible to reach a final agreement,” the channel quoted the high-level
Israeli delegation as having said. “The conditions for closing [a deal]
are optimal.”The Kan public broadcaster similarly reported on Sunday
evening that Israeli negotiators were optimistic about the outcome of
the current discussions, and believe that there will be a breakthrough
in the coming days.Citing a source familiar with negotiations, the
report added that talks in recent days have been “productive.”The
reports came after Hamas sources claimed on Saturday that a deal had
been reached and was awaiting Netanyahu’s final approval.Giving voice to
the cautious optimism with which the US has also regarded the current
round of negotiations, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN
on Sunday that the negotiating parties were “very, very close, and yet
far because we are not there.”“It is possible to get it done before
January 20, but I can’t be sure,” he added, largely echoing sentiments
expressed by Biden and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken last
week.Trump, who enters the White House on January 20, has warned that
there will be “all hell to pay” if a hostage deal has not been settled
before he begins his second term, although he has refused to elaborate
on what that would entail.His threat was reiterated on Sunday by
incoming national security adviser Mike Waltz, who warned Hamas that the
terms for a hostage deal would only get worse if it waits until Trump
enters office.“Let’s allow our hostages to be set free. I want to see
them walking across the tarmac, or at a minimum, some type of agreement
before inauguration because President Trump is serious,” Waltz told
ABC’s “This Week.”“Any deal will only get worse for Hamas, and there
will be all hell to pay in the Middle East if we continue to have this
kind of hostage diplomacy,” he added.Vance: What ‘all hell’
means-Meanwhile, US Vice President-elect JD Vance appeared to reveal the
practical implication of Trump’s threat that “all hell will break
loose.”“It means enabling the Israelis to knock out the final couple of
battalions of Hamas and their leadership. It means very aggressive
sanctions and financial penalties on those who are supporting terrorist
organizations in the Middle East. It means actually doing the job of
American leadership,” Vance told ‘FOX News Sunday.’The IDF has said that
it has yet to dismantle the final two of Hamas’s 24 battalions in Gaza,
but that was because they are believed to be holding many of the
remaining 98 hostages in central Gaza. Accordingly, the IDF has avoided
operating there en masse, so as not to risk the lives of the hostages,
given that a number of them have been accidentally killed in IDF
operations or were executed by their Hamas captors when they feared
Israeli troops were approaching.Vance did not elaborate on the financial
sanctions that the incoming Trump administration has planned against
Hamas, but the Biden administration has already levied a host of
sanctions against the terror group and has issued arrest warrants for
several of its leaders.The incoming vice president asserted that Trump’s
threat of “all hell to pay” in the Mideast if the hostages are not
released is what sparked recent progress in the ongoing hostage
talks.“We’re hopeful there’s going to be a deal that struck toward the
very end of Biden’s administration — maybe the last day or two,” Vance
says. “But regardless of when that deal is struck, it will be because
people are terrified that there are going to be consequences for
Hamas.”Far-right lawmakers kept in the loop-At the same time as the US
tries to ramp up pressure on the Gaza terror group, Hebrew media
reported that Netanyahu met on Sunday with both far-right coalition
party leaders Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security
Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to gauge their response to the developments in
Doha.Both Smotrich, who leads the Religious Zionism party, and Otzma
Yehudit leader Ben Gvir have been outspoken about their opposition to
the terms of previous failed hostage deal outlines and have repeatedly
threatened to bolt the coalition should a deal come to fruition.An
unnamed political source told the Walla news outlet that the purpose of
Netanyahu’s meeting with Smotrich was to assess whether he would resign
from the government if Israel agreed to a deal requiring it to release
hundreds of Palestinian terror convicts in exchange for the
hostages.While Netanyahu did also meet with Ben Gvir, the source told
Walla that the premier believes there to be a high chance the Otzma
Yehudit leader will resign if there’s a deal, and so is hoping to
convince Smotrich to, at most, vote against the agreement without
quitting the coalition.According to Kan, however, both Smotrich and Ben
Gvir gave their word that they would not cause the government’s
dissolution by resigning in the event of a deal.The report added that
Netanyahu warned the pair that by objecting to a deal, they would be
starting off on the wrong foot with the Trump
administration.Nevertheless, Settlements and National Projects Minister
Orit Strock, of Religious Zionism, came out against a potential deal,
calling it a “reward for terrorism and a victory for Hamas.”She later
acknowledged that she was not privy to the details of the slowly
emerging agreement.In an interview with the Haredi radio station Kol
Berama on Sunday morning, Strock asserted that the deal, should it
transpire, would lead to the hard-won victories of the war against Hamas
in Gaza “going down the drain.”“Many Israeli soldiers will pay with
their lives for withdrawing from Gaza,” she said, “and hundreds of
murderous terrorists will pour in like a barrel of gasoline and ignite
terror in Judea and Samaria and across the entire world.”In a
now-familiar threat issued by the Religious Zionism party whenever
hostage-ceasefire talks appear to be getting close to an agreement,
Strock warned Netanyahu against crossing any “red lines.”Despite her
insistence that the deal would only cause more harm, Strock revealed
hours later that she did not actually know the current terms.Doubling
down on her stance in a column for Israel National News, the far-right
minister wrote that while she “very much wants to see the hostages
released” she believes that “the price of the deal must be discussed.”“I
don’t yet know the details of the deal that is being formulated, and I
would be very happy if it were one that I could support,” she wrote. “If
only!”At the same time, and contrary to the positions expressed by the
incoming US administration, Strock suggested that Trump would put a stop
to the negotiating process when he enters the White House later this
month.Trump won’t want to be associated with “a victory for the axis of
evil over the free world, and won’t support a deal that gives out prizes
for murderous terrorism,” she asserted to Kol Berama.Trump’s special
envoy to the region Steve Witkoff told Netanyahu on Saturday, however,
that Trump expects a deal to be in place by his inauguration, and was
said to stress that both sides must show flexibility to get an agreement
across the finish line.It is believed that 94 of the 251 hostages
abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza, including the bodies of
at least 34 confirmed dead by the IDF.Hamas released 105 civilians
during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were
released before that. Eight hostages have been rescued by troops alive,
and the bodies of 40 hostages have also been recovered, including three
mistakenly killed by the Israeli military as they tried to escape their
captors.Hamas is also holding two Israeli civilians who entered the
Strip in 2014 and 2015, as well as the bodies of two IDF soldiers who
were killed in 2014
