As I've said twice I just posted some thoughts. You well know PLA were defeated militarily in Gaza some years back. PLA have expressed interest in taking back Gaza in a governance role for which they will require support to push out Hamas armed fighters. Whether that is possible I do not know, but if Israeli forces move back into Gaza, IMO, they will lose international support. Who knows maybe the Abraham Accords may turn out to a useful mechanism other than enriching trump family.

Hamas leadership have not all been killed; those killed are replaced. Many who have knowledge of Hamas say their fighters who have been killed are being replaced. Have to wait and see how peace unfolds in Gaza and the West Bank, quite possible will kick off again, though hopefully not. Hezbollah have not been wiped out.

As I said just my thoughts. I do not know what's happening in secret between various parties. However, I understand PLA has been discussed as a potential mechanism to replace Hamas.. Who knows maybe the US or KSR will give each of the Hamas leaders a billion dollars to retire - cheaper than another war.

Thanks. Utter stupidity by al-Hayya - completely self defeating. It will be the general population of Gaza and West Bank who will suffer the most. To call out Oct 7 as a military accomplishment is moronic as it's led to severe injury to the Palestinian people and Hamas for no political gain except the release of some Palestinian criminals. Maybe the enrichment of the Hamas leadership during reconstruction. IMO PLA quickly need new leadership and international support to take out Hamas.

Lies, none of the people you mention support the eradication of Israeli Jews. With relevance to yourself, so far as I'm concerned, is the inappropriate use of Nazi terminology with the attempt of generalised demonisation of the Palestinian people, not that you support Nazi ideology. Got a problem with my POV take it up with Mod/s as I do not retract my post.

It has already been reported that Hamas are rebuilding their "fighters" to replace those killed and seriously injured. Unless Israel and a Palestinian led group can reach a diplomatic solution and Palestinian enforcement capability there will be ongoing killing and destruction. Personally I believe a Two State solution is now unachievable (700,000 Israelis in the West Bank), obviously requires a strategic revaluation to finally have a pathway for lasting peace. Perhaps ceding Area C to the Israelis - Realpolitik.

Both Biden and Trump took credit, though, of course Trump claimed it was all due to him; to quote: "This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies," https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-announces-israel-hamas-ceasefire-deal-2025-01-15/

Democracy has failed the US,maybe it's time for a King

Until members in the House and Senate regain the moral strength to comply to their Oath Of office to support the Constitution and not an oath of loyalty to a wannabe "king"; correct The US will sink further and further into an ethical swamp. One can observe the process right now with the hearings into trump's potential appointees. One has only to look bank to the Marshall Plan as an excellent example when decisions were made to "Make America Great". -
Requires a Court decision, not your or others opinion.

Exactly where is the evidence that Joe Biden is a convicted "crook"?

thanks for clarification. So currently roughly US$150 billion p.a. for "illegal immigrants'. Surely any cost cutting efforts impacting US citizens . refugees, asylum seekers etc should not b e impacted by the cost to US taxpayers for "illegals". Looking in from the outside I would assume US Administrations will be dealing with illegals for years to come. Personally I think the arrest / deport them all from MAGA would is not feasible unless government to government arrangements are negotiated, resources funded and so on One assumes it will take more than an Administrations term to make any meaningful difference until the root causes are addressed.
