🔴🧵NEW INFORMATION ON THE HOSTAGE NEGOTIATION: Despite the 19-day break in negotiations in Qatar over the next hostage release deal, Israel still believes that Hams is interested in it. A source involved in the negotiations told Israel Hayom that Hams did not correctly assess the reaction of Israel and the mediators to the proposal put on the table on Wednesday, regarding the keys to the release of the imprisoned terrorists. "I don't think they thought we would go, they didn't correctly assess how much we could be provoked. Maybe now they understand better that they crossed the line," the senior official said. He emphasized that the talks "did not collapse or fell apart." Instead, there are consultations in Israel, even in recent hours, on how to reach a deal after all. The Israeli official did not agree to say what the "other options" are for the release of the hostages, which Prime Minister and envoy Witkoff discussed.

🔴🧵ANALYSIS: WHAT ARE ISRAEL'S OPTIONS IN GAZA? Today, it was reported that the IDF began operations in Deir al-Balah. Hams may hold some of our hostages in this area, and the move potentially endangers their lives. At this point, Israel has three options on the table. OPTION 1: "Strategic Deception" (approach of Lapid, Gantz, Golan)—Israel would respond to all of Hams's demands, agree to halt the war, and refrain from renewing it while Hamas controls Gaza. This would involve providing Hams with significant reinforcements, including direct supplies, the release of terrorists, and a broad withdrawal from the Strip. In the future, after resolving the hostage situation and at a time convenient for Israel, "Hams will give us the excuse" to renew the war and finish them.

🧵WHY YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST ISRAELI MEDIA POLLS: Since 10/7, mainstream Israeli media channels have released countless polls claiming to represent the opinions of the Israeli public, especially on topics like Gaza. These polls are misleading and deceptive, here's why 👇 Over Shabbat, Channel 12 published a poll according to which 74% of those asked support a deal for Gaza in which "all the hostages will be released and the war will end."

Of course, Channel 12 conveniently forgot to mention the actual cost of the comprehensive deal, instead portraying the option as some fantasy where Israel can simply press a button to stop the war and immediately return all of the hostages.

🔴🧵ANALYSIS OF PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU'S CLOSING STRATEGY FOR GAZA: In a statement today to the Israeli people, Prime Minister Netanyahu outlined his strategy for Gaza. He emphasized that first, there will be a deal to secure the release of 10 live hostages, followed by an end to the war with Hams, either through negotiation or force. Let’s examine the details and set aside the emotional aspects of the hostage deal. According to the agreement, a ceasefire will last for 60 days. At the beginning of this ceasefire, negotiations will commence to end the war. The Prime Minister made it clear that Hams must disarm and withdraw from Gaza, and this condition is non-negotiable. He also mentioned that President Trump supports this plan. It is important to note that despite the 60-day ceasefire, if Hams refuses to disarm and leave Gaza, the ceasefire may end prematurely and the war will resume. Therefore, although the ceasefire is officially set for a maximum duration of 60 days, it could end much sooner.

🚨🧵NEW DETAILS OF THE ISRAELI CABINET MEETING: At the beginning of the meeting, the IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir presented the situation, and said in the discussion: “We hold 75% of the territory of the Gaza Strip. A decision is needed to continue the path." The army presented three scenarios: 1. Full occupation of the Gaza Strip, including the heavy price that was also presented with a large number of casualties among the hostages and fighters and a high cost to military rule

2. Negotiating a deal to release hostages—the IDF expressed broad support for this.

3. Siege of the Gaza Strip until surrender - the Legal Advisor to the Government and the IDF Chief Military Attorney are firmly opposed to this move.

🔴🧵IDF Sums Up the War Against Iran - Operation "Am Kalavi" (Rising Lion): "The Most Complex Operation in the History of the IDF" The IDF says that the operation fully achieved its goals and achieved the following results: The Iranian nuclear program was significantly damaged - Iran currently cannot enrich uranium to 90%, which was neutralized for an extended period; the regime's ability to produce the core of a nuclear weapon was neutralized; many thousands of centrifuges were destroyed, beyond the original plan.

🔴🧵Major new developments in the coming weeks from the Middle East, from Israel Hayom. Immediately after the American attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, there was a quadruple phone call between US President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu intend to quickly break into new peace agreements with Arab countries, as part of the expansion of the Abraham Accords.

🧵THE 12-DAY IRAN-ISRAEL WAR BY THE NUMBERS: As the war between Iran and Israel comes to a close, let's take a look at the achievements and losses of both sides from a purely quantitative perspective. Information courtesy of IDF Radio (Doron Kadosh) and open-source intel 👇 Starting with Iran, they managed to launch approximately 500-550 ballistic missiles and 1000+ drones at Israel, killing 27 Israeli civilians and 1 IDF soldier. Thousands more civilians were injured, and there was massive property damage to hundreds of homes and buildings.

🔴🧵HOW THE WAR WITH IRAN WILL END? After 10 days of relentless Israeli strikes on Iran, the war is likely approaching its conclusion in the next week or so. Israel initiated this conflict with three main objectives: addressing the nuclear program, dismantling the ballistic missile program, and cutting off Iranian funding for proxies. Let’s explore how they have achieved each of these goals. The primary reason for the conflict is Iran’s nuclear program. As of today, following numerous Israeli and American strikes, Iran’s nuclear capabilities are at best severely crippled and delayed for many years, and at worst, completely decommissioned. It is irrelevant whether Iran has retained stockpiles of enriched uranium because they are currently unable to use it to create a nuclear bomb. They lack both the necessary facilities and expertise, especially after Israel’s targeted elimination of their nuclear scientists.

🧵KHAMENEI"S DILEMMA: The NYT, in an interesting expose, detailed how Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei convened Iran's Supreme National Security Council yesterday to discuss a response. According to the report, Khamenei said he wanted revenge, but did not want to act rashly. During the meeting, there were differences of opinion on how to respond and whether to prepare for a prolonged war, given the severe damage to Iran's air defense system and missile capabilities, and the fear that the United States would also be drawn into the war. One participant warned that if Israel were to attack Iran's energy and water facilities, it could spark widespread internal protests.

🔴🧵ANALYSIS: IS HAMS SHOWING SIGNS OF A BREAKDOWN? Last week, Hams did not respond to Witkoff's proposal. They neither accepted nor rejected it, providing no response at all. However, tonight, they finally delivered a message, initially sending it to Israel. When Israel rejected the proposal, Hams publicized it through the media, likely aiming to indirectly pressure Israel. Regardless, the nature of their response suggests that Hams is under significant strain. Food Distribution: If the Israeli-American initiative to distribute food in Gaza succeeds, Hams will lose one of its last remaining tools for controlling the population—food aid. This is a crucial point in the campaign, and the remaining leadership of the organization is undoubtedly aware of its importance.

🚨🧵The details of the Mossad operation to bring Eli Cohen's archive from Syria: The original documents and personal items are from the finds found in Syria. Among the documents was the original will, which Eli Cohen wrote hours before his execution and of which only a copy has been publicly revealed so far.

The special archive includes approximately 2,500 documents, photographs, and personal and original objects, most of which are being revealed for the first time. These materials were collected by Syrian intelligence after his capture in January 1965 and include recordings and documentation from the interrogation files of the late Eli Cohen and of those with whom he was in contact, handwritten letters from him to his family in Israel, photographs of his activities during his operational mission in Syria, and personal objects taken from his home after his capture. Among his personal belongings were the keys to his apartment in Damascus, forged passports and documentation that he used, and many photos from his period of clandestine activity in Syria, including documentation of the late Eli Cohen with senior Syrian military and government officials. In addition, the numerous entries found in notebooks and diaries collected from his home by Syrian intelligence included, among other things, missions he received from the Mossad to carry out covertly, including a request to conduct surveillance on a target and a mission to bring intelligence on Syrian military bases in Contra.

🔴🧵THE DETAILS OF OPERATION GIDEON'S CHARIOTS: From A Senior Israeli security official

Operation "Gideon's Chariots," which aims to defeat and subdue Hams in Gaza and release all hostages, was unanimously approved yesterday by the Political-Security Cabinet. By the plan formulated by the IDF Chief of Staff and the IDF Command and approved by the Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister, the IDF will increase its forces and act forcefully to defeat and subdue Hams and destroy its military and governmental capabilities while creating intense pressure for the release of all the hostages.

🧵🚨BREAKING 🚨Israel Defense Minister Katz reveals for the first time the correspondence between Iran Deif and Sinwar: "I present here today unequivocal proof of Iran's support for Hams' plan to destroy Israel and the October 7 massacre. Deif and Sinwar demanded $500 million from the Quds Force commander for the destruction of Israel and the fight against the US - and they received it."


"I am here today visiting the Special Operations Unit—a special unit established during the 'Iron Swords' War and based on reservists who bring extensive knowledge from many fields and have developed a national capability that did not exist before—an intelligence capability that currently holds critical materials that were physically collected from deep within the territory: archives of Hams, Hezbollah, and other sensitive intelligence sources.

🧵The 10 main lessons the IDF has learned from their investigation into the 10/7 massacre and prior Change in the concept of security—no enemy must be allowed to build a force on our border while civilians live next to it—and rely on deterrence and warning. Hams and Hezbollah must not return to what they were.

🧵 The IDF released today their investigation into the 10/7 conduct of the IDF, and prior to 10/7, here are the key takeaways from it. The IDF did not consider the scenario of a broad surprise attack. It was perceived as unlikely, and not even a scenario close to it. This is a key issue that the IDF was not prepared for.

🧵THREAD The left in Israel, with help from the lefty media, chanted for a year, "Bring them home AT ALL COST." Besides the release of hundreds of terrorists, here is what Hams is doing in Gaza during the ceasefire; this is what AT ALL COST means: Many thousands of its operatives returned from the southwest of the Gaza Strip to the north following the withdrawal from the Netzarim corridor, among the half a million Gazans who did the same.

🧵 A THREAD: Israel's plan for the next phase in Gaza, as outlined by Tamir Morag Ch. 14 News, involves a demand for the mass deportation of Hams operatives from the Gaza Strip, not just the organization's leaders. This demand could be a condition for implementing phase two of the hostage deal and bringing an end to the war. In recent weeks, we have reported on Israel’s three conditions for ending the conflict:
1. The release of all hostages, both living and deceased. 2. The dismantling of Hams's military wing and disarmament of the Gaza Strip.
3. The exile of Hams leaders from the Gaza Strip (termed "Safe Exit").

🧵🔴Analysis: What Happened This Week with the Hostage Deal? Based on everything I'm hearing today from Israel (unofficially), Arab media, and Hams, we can better understand the events of this week. Hams manufactured a crisis over the mobile homes and bulldozers, likely trying to assert their influence and seeking more concessions from Israel, possibly under the encouragement of Qatar. However, President Trump undermined their attempt by issuing an ultimatum.

🧵🔴 MUST READ: Horrifying testimonies from the captivity of Or Eli and Ohad, who returned yesterday - testimonies that must be heard about the hell of captivity in Gaza The three were deliberately starved, going for long days without any food at all. Every few days, they were given rotten pita bread, which they were forced to share with other hostages who were with them. Long days passed without being given water. They did not drink, and one of the hostages collapsed in captivity - a traumatic event that the hostages who were with him thought he was dead.

🚨🧵 New Testimonies from our three released hostages today. Or Levi and Eli Sharabi were together throughout their captivity; Ohad Ben Ami only reached them yesterday evening before their release. The three hostages were held alongside other hostages The hostages spoke of being starved: "We were constantly hungry." Some of the hostages released today have gone down 3-5 sizes
