Qatar’s ‘gestures’ to Trump raise suspicions on both ends of the political spectrum
The government of Qatar had a surprise for President Trump on his recent visit to the Middle East.
That was the release of the last American-born hostage being held in Gaza.
Edan Alexander, 21, was freed by the Qatari-funded group Hamas as a gesture to Trump.
Two questions obviously arise from that “gesture.”
The first: If Hamas can just release hostages like this why won’t they release all of them, whether they were born in America or not?
The answer to that is clear: It is because the Qataris and Hamas don’t want to release all the hostages.
They want to keep hold of them for as long as possible to exert as much leverage as possible.
The second question is less easy to answer.
If Qatar is so close with Hamas, how on earth can they be regarded as an ally of the United States?
It is that second question that has hovered over the president’s trip this week.
Tze’ela Gez’s Chilling Post: “A Feeling That Nowhere Is Safe”
Tze’ela Gez, H’yd, who was murdered in the Bruchin terror attack on Wednesday evening, was a trauma and crisis therapist, which meant she was not only a resident of a high-risk area (Shomron) but she was privy to her clients’ fears and traumas as well.
As someone who helped others, she often posted tips and advice for women going through fears on her Facebook account.
In October 2024, about six months before she was murdered, she wrote about the security situation, saying: “An unsafe period, a feeling that nowhere is safe, and yet we continue to go to work and live.”
She then added, “What helps you to leave the house? And not avoid it…”
Gez A”H was on the way to the hospital to deliver her fourth child when she was targeted in the terror attack near Bruchin.
IDF forces are still engaged in a manhunt for the terrorist.
Video below filmed by Tze'ela Gez, who was murdered by a terrorist yesterday on her way to the delivery room, has surfaced -
*In her words, she reminds us of the responsibility we have, to honor the fallen by living*.
May her memory be for a blessing 💔
Guatemalan Police Rescue 2 Teenage Couples From Lev Tahor; Find Baby’s Remains
DIN: Interesting, they found no Satmar or Tosh Askanim there! Readers have written that Satmar and Tosh Askanim are there to help them!
Guatemalan authorities targeted the Lev Tahor cult in a raid in the last 24 hours after receiving reports of alleged crimes of human trafficking through forced marriages and abuse of minors.
Agents of the Special Forces of the National Civil Police (PNC), with the support of the Ministry of Interior and the Attorney General’s Office, conducted a raid in the town of Oratorio in Santa Rosa.
During the raid, two underage couples, ages 15 to 17, from the Lev Tahor cult, were rescued, and evidence was seized. In addition, several non-Jews were arrested, including a Nicaraguan national who was caught and detained in the middle of an attempted murder.
In disturbing news, investigators also discovered the skeleton of a one-year-old child buried in a wooden box.
The four teens were transferred to the care of special staff from the Public Complaints Commissioner for Children and Youth. Teens are not forced to remain in the welfare facility they were transferred to after the major police raid on the Lev Tahor cult in December 2024, but all minors are traced via a child abduction alert system (similar to the Amber alert system in the US).
The police raid was carried out after receiving reports that adult Lev Tahor members had forced the teens to marry.
In December 2024, the authorities in Guatemala raided the Lev Tahor cult compound located in San Rosa, about 90 kilometers from the Guatemalan capital, following reports of abuse, and rescued at least 160 minors.

Uprooting the evil element Needed for Chareidim
• Beit Shemesh Iriya Responds to Attack on Minister Ben Gvir and the waiving of Palestinian Flags in RBS B*
Today's violent events in Ramat Beit Shemesh — including the attack on National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and his wife — once again highlight the complex reality in the city.
The Beit Shemesh Iriya regularly deals with incitement graffiti and Palestinian flags. Just this week, such symbols were removed from multiple locations — during which a municipal crew was physically attacked.
*The Iriya clarifies:* dealing with this phenomenon goes far beyond erasing graffiti — it requires deep government intervention and firm enforcement.
Mayor Greenberg is accompanied by security personnel, following previous attacks on him and his family.
The Iriya will continue working for the safety of the public and calls on the state to take action against the Chareidim threatening residents.
