A sweet deal.

In a momentous development for the Middle East, President Donald Trump has celebrated the signing of a groundbreaking peace agreement aimed at ending two years of conflict in Gaza. The deal, signed amid a gathering of world leaders in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, marks a significant step toward regional stability, following the release of the remaining […]

I know there has been a great deal of hueing and crying over the “snub” President Trump received in not getting the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts at creating tranquility across the planet. There is no question that Trump is deserving of the prize. He should get it, and although the Norwegian bureaucrats in charge of issuing that award are often ridiculously wrong — Yasser Arafat won it one year, for crying out loud — I have absolutely no doubt they will do right by Trump when the time comes. (RELATED: Trump, Nobel, and the Globalism of Oslo) But let’s remember a little something about the rules of the prize. Which is that nominations for it typically close on Jan. 31 of the year in which it’s awarded. On Jan. 31, Trump had been president for only 11 days. The spectacular volume of diplomatic achievements that Trump and his Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as the president’s other negotiators like Ric Grenell and Steve Witcoff, hadn’t quite launched at that point. What they’ve done since is awfully close to unprecedented. As Trump would say, we’ve never seen anything like it. He’s brokered a cessation of no less than eight military conflicts around the world, including the most recent triumph, a ceasefire along the lines of a permanent peace in Gaza. (RELATED: The Nobel Peace Prize Hits Rock Bottom) Gaza isn’t quite peaceful yet, of course, as Hamas is now slugging it out amid the rubble with other militia groups, which see it as weak enough to poke. But the internal politics of Gaza, such as they are, are best left to the Gazans. Presumably, the world can do business with the survivors of the bulleting, if not the balloting. (RELATED: Blessed Is the Peacemaker) As I said in the Five Quick Things last week, it’s an amazing achievement for Trump to have shepherded the process as far as he’s managed so far. He’s succeeded where countless American presidents have failed. (RELATED: Five Quick Things: The Glorious Return of the 5QT) But we have a long way to go before anyone can declare the Gaza situation resolved. Certainly, Trump will get the Nobel Peace Prize next year based on what he’s done since Jan. 31. In fact, at the signing of the deal in Egypt on Monday, Pakistani prime minister Shehbaz Sharif stepped to the microphone and nominated Trump for the 2026 prize… Boy, this makes the Liz Warrens of the world look like clowns, doesn’t it? The words you are looking for are… “Thank you President Trump” — Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) October 13, 2025 But Maria Corina Machado, who won this year’s award, dedicated it to Trump… And in an interview with CBS, she explained why… The thing to respect about the award going to Machado, and why American patriots and freedom-lovers should rejoice in the award with the anticipation that Trump will get his due next year, is that for her to get the award is an explicit rejection of the Maduro government which stole an election from Machado’s movement and has since acted in ways diametrically opposed to the cause of peace. (RELATED: The Nobel Peace Prize and the Nobel War Prize) Spreading Marxist rebellion. Hosting Hezbollah, Iranian, and Hamas terrorists. Consolidating the international drug trade under government/regime control. Oppressive subjugation of what Venezuelan people have not fled. (RELATED: Trump Squeezes Maduro’s Narco-State) And of course, until Trump took office and closed the border, the Maduro regime actively pumped migrants through the Central American corridor into the United States for the purpose of masking the insertion of thousands of Tren de Aragua gangsters, dope dealers, and human traffickers in order to embed their poisonous activities in our cities. (RELATED: US Intelligence Downplays Maduro Partnership With Tren De Aragua) For the Nobel committee to give Machado the Peace Prize and, in so doing, recognize her efforts to bring freedom and prosperity, not to mention market economics, back to Venezuela is an explicit rejection of that communist regime. This is an unalloyed good thing. It confers international recognition on the truly legitimate governing party in Venezuela — Machado was thrown off the ballot by the Maduro thugs, but her replacement, Edmundo González Urrutia, ran and won with an estimated more than two-thirds of the vote, though in a brute-force rigging of the election, Team Maduro claimed a close victory — at the expense of the regime. It’s a repudiation of illegitimacy, crime, and communism. And it comes at a time when Trump is preparing to press Maduro out of power in Venezuela, hopefully without having to fire a shot. The United States has moved several military helicopters off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago, just a few miles from the Venezuela, according to a new report. Citing specialized outlets and forum, Venezuelan outlet El Nacional noted that at least four special ops helicopters and three Black Hawks have been spotted. It added that they could be aboard the Ocean Trader, the converted cargo vessel designed to serve as a special operations mothership. Originally launched as a commercial roll-on/roll-off cargo ship in 2010, the vessel was later converted under a $73 million U.S. Navy contract to support a wide range of special operations missions. The Ocean Trader is capable of hosting up to 159 special operations forces in addition to its 50-member crew, operating at sea for as long as 45 days before resupply. It is equipped with helicopter hangars, boat launch bays, aviation fuel stores, workshops, and intelligence facilities, while retaining a commercial appearance intended to blend with merchant traffic. The development comes as the U.S. continues to beef up its presence in the Caribbean: there are now 10,000 troops deployed in the region, according to a new report. Most are in bases in Puerto Rico. The New York Times detailed that there are also eight surface warships and a submarine there. Forces have been conducting drills and the U.S. has struck at least four vessels officials claim were carrying drugs that were ultimately set to reach the U.S. In this context, Venezuela’s authoritarian government activated its “Independence Plan 200,” a series of drills aimed at protecting strategic assets. “Venezuela is mobilizing in an organized manner,” said Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello. The fact is, this regime should already have fallen. If it were truly a Venezuelan regime, it already would have. But the Maduro government isn’t really Venezuelan — it is propped up by some 15,000 or so occupying Cuban military and intelligence operatives who are loyal to the regime and couldn’t care less about the people of Venezuela, and the Cubans enforce discipline through terror in order to stop defections in the ranks. (RELATED: Nicolás Maduro: Trump Must Oust the Illegitimate Venezuelan Dictator and Revive the Monroe Doctrine) It’s a rather diabolical bit of tyrannical tradecraft that Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chavez, introduced. And it’s another reason why the Castroite cancer in Cuba should never have been left to spread as it has. Time does appear to be running out for the Venezuelan communists. Urrutia and Machado will likely assume power soon. It might be messy, however, to install the actual elected government of Venezuela instead of the illegitimate, narco-terrorist foreign occupation dictatorship that squats upon the throne in Caracas. By conferring the Peace Prize on Machado, the international community is signaling that efforts to restore democracy and freedom in Venezuela have its imprimatur. And that is a good sign after years of lies and apologies made for Chavez and Maduro by some of the same people.

Early Monday morning, Oct. 13, Hamas turned over seven of the 20 remaining Israeli hostages to the Red Cross in Gaza to be transported to Israel. It was the start of an emotional and eventful day. Over the following hours, all of the remaining living hostages would be back on Israeli soil after two long years of captivity in Gaza, and U.S. President Donald Trump would address the Israeli Knesset in a speech that proclaimed the end of an era of war and the beginning of peace. Unlike the staged and performative hostage releases earlier this year, Hamas transferred the hostages to the Red Cross with efficiency, and they were evacuated out of Gaza before relatively calm spectators and curious children offering waves of goodbye. (RELATED: To Bring Hostages Home, Israel Pays Very Steep Price) Once back on Israeli soil, the convoy of hostage vans was welcomed by flag-waving Israelis crowding the desert road between Gaza and Re’im. The newly repatriated hostages underwent initial medical checks and were reunited with their families at a military post for the first time in two years before boarding IDF helicopters. By 11 AM, Hamas no longer held a living Israeli captive. (RELATED: Give (Eternal?) Peace a Chance?) Across Israel, people celebrated, mourned, rejoiced, wept, sang, and danced. “Hostage Square” in Tel Aviv — the site where, over the past two years, mass gatherings, demonstrations, and memorials were held and erected in support of the hostages — was filled with ecstatic spectators watching the events of the morning unfold on a projector screen. Air Force One flew over “Hostage Square” before landing at Ben Gurion International Airport. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Trump with a red carpet, and their diplomatic convoy ascended the ancient foothills of Benjamin up to Jerusalem. The capital city was well prepared to welcome the U.S. president. Massive U.S. flags were draped across municipal buildings, and banners reading “The City of Peace Welcomes the Man of Peace,” “Trump Make Israel Great,” and “Cyrus the Great is Alive,” fluttered from high-rise offices and residential towers. (RELATED: Nobel Snubs Trump but Will His Peace Plan Hold?) Meanwhile, at the Ofer Prison in the West Bank, 250 Palestinian “security prisoners” serving life sentences for deadly attacks were released to the West Bank, as per the peace-exchange agreement, while seven were deported abroad, banned from entering Israel. Additionally, 1,718 Gaza detainees arrested over the course of the war were released back to the Gaza Strip. The accumulated human rights violations and innocent blood on these prisoners’ hands are astounding. (RELATED: Will Hamas Blow Up Gaza Deal With Explosive Demands?) President Trump and his entourage — which included Steve Wikoff, Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and others — were escorted into the Knesset by Netanyahu, Israeli President Isaac Herzog, and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana. In a photographic moment, Trump whipped out a thick black marker and inscribed “This is my great honor — a great and beautiful day. A new Beginning,” in the Knesset guestbook. While being escorted to the Knesset assembly chamber, a hungry press corps shouted questions: “Will Israel be able to renew its war with Hamas if they re-arm?” “Is the war now over?” No answers were given, but these questions expose a haunting reality lurking behind this moment of joy and celebration and beg the ultimate question: Is the war really over? Before the Knesset assembly and visitors, Ohana gave an energized and impassioned speech, urging other nations to follow Trump’s example of peace through strength and to raise strong world leaders. Ohana ended his speech by announcing that Israel has submitted Trump’s name for the candidacy for the Nobel Prize next year. Next came Netanyahu, who began his speech by praising the IDF for fighting like lions over the past two years “on the front lines of civilization.” The Israeli premier praised Trump for moving the world “so quickly, so decisively, so resolutely” to support and enforce the hostage exchange. “With our military pressure and Trump’s global leadership,” Netanyahu asserted, all the hostages are now back home and Israel’s enemies are severely weakened. He concluded: “I extend my hand to those who want to seek peace with us.” Opposition leader Yair Lapid then took to the podium in a bold and determined speech. “We are not going anywhere,” Lapid said. “The Middle East is our home, we are here to stay, our story did not end in the Bible, it began there.” Lapid then turned to the world — to hostile European governments and radical American university students — and warned: “You were deceived, go and learn the facts, there was no genocide, no famine [in Gaza] … they [Palestinian propaganda] played with your minds.” The opposition leader ended by stating that “Israel is reinventing itself … waiting for the moment to re-channel our grief and loss into the energy to rebuild our nation.” (RELATED: Israel Faces Increasing International Isolation Amid European Delusion) Trump’s speech, in typical fashion, was casual and largely unscripted. “This is not only the end of a war, this is the end of an age of terror and death, and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God.” About 10 minutes in, Ohana interrupted, yelling “Get out!” (in Hebrew) as men in the assembly forcefully lifted ministers Ayman Odeh and Ofer Cassif out of their seats and escorted them out of the assembly for holding up “Recognize Palestine” and “Genocide” signs. “That was efficient,” Trump responded, before continuing to praise his administration for working toward global peace and boasting how he has brought the American military to its zenith. Trump ended by encouraging Israel to “translate these victories on the battlefield into peace in the region” and encouraged Israel’s hostile neighbors: “Instead of building fortresses of defense, we should be building economies.” Monday was a day of celebration and a moment when most Israelis could finally exhale and breathe. Monday was a day of celebration and a moment when most Israelis could finally exhale and breathe. “Something was always in my chest, always in my throat over the past two years, no matter how much I tried to suppress it; now I can finally breathe,” a friend confessed to me upon hearing that the last hostages had finally returned home. But tension still hangs in the air. The details of Trump’s brokered deal remain unresolved, and for many, this means the war is still unresolved. (RELATED: Real Peace in Israel Lies Beyond the Two-State Solution) Hamas has made no indication that it will lay down its weapons or give up its political position in Gaza. Under Trump’s deal, Hamas members are granted amnesty if they abandon their military and political position, and until this happens, the IDF is on full alert. The hostages have long been Hamas’s leverage to survive, but the war now is no longer about the hostages. The Trump administration’s guarantees that Hamas is weakened and defeated are met with caution by Jerusalem. The safety granted to Hamas members under Trump’s plan allows them to continue fighting even if under a different name or from outside Gaza. The situation is still volatile. While negotiations were ongoing last week in Sharm el-Shiek, Egypt, the Shin Bet (Israel’s counterterrorist agency) intercepted a massive “balance-breaking” Iranian arms shipment to Palestinian terrorist cells in the West Bank that included “claymore-type” mines, drones, anti-tank missiles, and RPGs. And while Hamas and Israel both agreed to the deal on Thursday of last week, Houthi missiles were being intercepted by the Israeli Air Force over central Israel. The past two years have proven that Israel’s enemies do not need to be contiguous to attack, and their enfranchisement is aimed at keeping multiple theaters of war open. The passing questions raised by the press corps in the lobby of the Knesset to President Trump are valid. The hostages are home, but is the war really over? It seems for now that Israel’s enemies are severely weakened but not actually defeated.
