TURKEY supports the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas and has one of the world's largest armies. The Syrian city of Kobani, still controlled by Kurds, is currently encircled on three sides by al-Sharaa's army and affiliated militias, while the border with Turkey remains closed. President Trump has assembled Israel’s most bitter, lethal enemies in the Board of Peace. Their first meeting will be in our nation’s Capital, Thursday, February 19. As of now, Israel will not be attending. A top priority for the BoP is the “Gaza Peace Plan” for which the US is pressuring Israel to allow Turkish troops on its southern border. Turkey is already present in Syria, Israel’s northern border. Read more here, here, and here.
> *A New Axis Takes Shape*– The New York Times released satellite imagery of an Egyptian airbase reportedly being used to allow Turkey to launch strikes on targets in Sudan. Analysts warn that deepening military coordination between Ankara and Cairo could extend beyond Africa—potentially toward Israel. After years of confronting a Shiʿite-led axis, Israel now faces the prospect of a far broader – and potentially more dangerous – Sunni alignment. 
>Turkey and Egypt Finalize $350 Million Weapons Deal - The deal includes Egypt's purchase of Turkey's Tolga air defense system, designed to intercept drones and UAVs, and  the establishment of a factory in Egypt for producing 155mm artillery shells.https://egyptindependent.com/egypt-turkey-enter-new-era-of-military-cooperation-with-joint-production-of-hamza-drones
>Lawmakers, witnesses push back on Syria sanctions effort, urge Turkish-Israeli rapprochement -Some US lawmakers (both Democrats and Republicans) justify support  for Al-Julani and Turkey's spreading tentacles as a counter to Russian influence. Meanwhile,  Erdoğan has  accused Israel of being the "primary obstacle" to a stable Syria.
>Turkey and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement to invest $2 billion to build solar and wind projects in Turkey.
>With Saudi Arabia shifting and Turkey consolidating its power in Syria, the regional map is being redrawn leaving Israel to face complex new adversaries.  Ask Haviv Anything

Media Fails
Headlines imply that all casualties in Gaza are civilians. Israeli strikes were launched after gunmen emerged from a tunnel. If you only read the New York Times, you'd never know that Israeli attacks are responses to Hamas breaches of the ceasefire. The media is ignoring Hamas and Hezbollah ceasefire violations 
https://x.com/HonestReporting/status/2012800145683779885
How academic propaganda is made -  an article on how some "analysts" truly believe that they can assess whether an IDF strike targeted and/or hit a "military target" by scouring social media and after the fact photos... for an enemy hidden in 1000km of tunnels deliberately fighting in civilian clothing. 
The rector at Ghent University declared that any academic questioning the genocide in Gaza can no longer rely on the protections of academic freedom! https://www.thejc.com/opinion/europes-silenced-scholars-the-forced-gaza-genocide-consensus-fifilnd4 The erasure of the 10/7 massacre is further amplified in new textbooks. French publishing giant Hachette printed textbooks describing the October 7 massacre victims as “Jewish settlers,” not victims, not children, not concert goers. The publisher apologized and recalled the books after Macron complained.  
The Guardian is erasing entirely Hamas' Oct. 7 massacre. It reports # of people killed in Gaza as a "direct result of Israeli aggression since October 2023." Ignoring Hamas' cupability.  Hamas is the aggressor and contiues to violate the ceasefire.

While Jews are the highest targets of religious hate crimes (68% in the US), Governor Hochul of NY, governments in  Canada, and the UK lump antisemitism and "islamophobia" together and are trying to pass laws that will send people to jail for criticising Hamas.  You may have seen the term "anti-Palestinian racism" (APR).  If you are not paying attention, you should. APR isn’t “anti-racism”. It’s a political weapon designed to neutralise antisemitism safeguards and bully institutions into activist ideology. https://david-collier.com/the-invention-of-anti-palestinian-racism/ . The persistence and geographic spread of antosemetic incidents underscore why definitional clarity around antisemitism, sustained security funding, and responsible political leadership are essential.  The NYC Council, led by Speaker Julie Menin, recently announced a comprehensive 5-point plan to combat rising antisemitism. Will it pass?

Have you heard about the big bruhaha over at the Adelaide Festival. The board decided to disinvite an artist, Randa Abdel Fattah, because of the hate she's spewed, including support for Hamas. FYI in 2024, this same artist and board rejected Tom Friedman because he was Jewish and said something positive about Israel. No one objected to his rejection. Over 180 artists boycotted the 2025 festival and the festival was canceled. The new board has invited the artist back for 2027.

Egypt Is Revising Its Peace Agreement with Israel  (Jewish Chronicle-UK)  Egypt views Israel's military "occupation" of the Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border during the Gaza war as an illegitimate expansion of Israel's borders and a unilateral rupture of the 1979 Camp David Accords. Egypt will not dismantle its increased military build-up in Sinai, which it sees as a necessary deterrent to prevent the displacement of Gazans into Egyptian territory. Cairo will demand Jerusalem accept this new security reality as a consequence of its own unilateral action in border areas. A return to summit-level diplomacy, such as the Sisi-Netanyahu 2017 meeting, is now explicitly conditioned on a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a credible commitment to Palestinian self-determination. Security coordination and trade, like the gas deal will continue.

Iran
The names of the protesters are beginning to emerge despite the internet blackout, and it is heartbreaking. Reports estimate thousands (12,000 to 30.000) of civilians killed many with bullets to the head. 18,000 imprisoned. Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh falsely claimed protesters died from drug overdoses, blatantly dismissing widespread video evidence showing gunshot wounds. "The United Nations has failed to respond with the urgency this moment demands. The Secretary General himself has not spoken publicly against the massacre unfolding in Iran." -Iranian-American activist Masih Alinejad https://unwatch.org/report-un-experts-silent-on-iran/ Where are the reports on how much money the Mullahs have stolen from Iran? At the height of the protests, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Supreme Leader Khamenei, transferred $1.5 billion to escrow accounts in Dubai.
EmojiPresident Donald Trump opted against immediate military action in Iran at the behest of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Oman — as well as Israel, which reportedly asked Trump to delay any strikes on Iran in order to give Jerusalem more time to prepare for an Iranian reprisal targeting Israel.

Israel
Hamas had a military base under UNRWA’s HQ in Gaza City. This Hamas base had a server farm. Hamas used electricity from UNRWA’s HQ to power this server farm. In light of overwhelming evidence of the agency’s complicity—direct or indirect—with Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) offices in Jerusalem have been destroyed.

President Trump is instituting phase 2 of his 20-point plan to ostensibly end Hamas rule aka the ceasefire deal placing Hamas supporters, e.g., Turkey and Qatar, in control of Gaza. Meanwhile, Hamas refuses to implement the terms of the ceasefire that it agreed to with at least 79 ceasefire violations. Hamas refuses to disarm, continues to attack IDF units on the yellow line and hold one hostage. Ran Gvili's remains have been held hostage by Hamas for 838 days.
The white-washing of Hamas
>A PBS NewsHour segment on the war’s damage to Gaza’s cultural history erased Gaza’s rich Jewish cultural heritage dating back to antiquity, and claimed that an unharmed 1,600-year-old church was “destroyed” by an Israeli strike. https://www.camera.org/article/pbs-erases-gazas-jewish-history-destroys-an-unharmed-church/
>Hamas released a manifesto documenting how the group understands October 7, why it carried out the massacre, and why it continues to justify it. Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP images are featured in the Hamas propaganda manifesto justifying mass murder. The photographers have ties to Hamas.
