Jared Kushner Calls for Israel to Finish Off Hezbollah, Criticizes Ceasefire Proposals

 Former president Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a former senior White House adviser, has voiced strong opposition to a ceasefire with Hezbollah. Following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, Kushner insists that Israel must be allowed to eliminate the group completely, despite calls for a ceasefire from the Biden administration.

“Anyone advocating for a ceasefire in the north is mistaken,” Kushner tweets in a rare public statement. “Israel cannot afford to stop now; they must dismantle the arsenal aimed at them. This opportunity won’t come again.”

His post was quickly retweeted by prominent figures such as former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who is likely eyeing a role in a future administration, Wyoming Senator John Barrasso, senior Fox News analyst Brit Hume, and other key Trump-world voices.

Though Kushner has stated that he does not plan to return to the White House if his father-in-law is re-elected, his influence remains significant among Trump supporters.

In his lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), Kushner describes September 27—the day Israel killed Nasrallah—as “the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.”

“Iran is now fully exposed,” Kushner asserts. “Their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, because Hezbollah has been their deterrent, a loaded gun pointed at Israel for 40 years.”

He goes on to say that Israel now has the chance to neutralize both the Gaza and Hezbollah threats. “It’s unfortunate how we got here, but perhaps there’s a silver lining,” Kushner writes, urging the U.S. to support Israel in finishing the job. He stresses that Hezbollah, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans, poses a global threat.

“The right move now for America is to tell Israel to finish what they’ve started. This fight isn’t only Israel’s.”

September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.

I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible.

This is…

Iran confirms: Abbas Nilpourshan, a commander in Iran's Quds Force, was killed alongside Nasrallah in yesterday's strike on Dahiya.

 A prominent general in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard died in an Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, Iranian media reported Saturday.

The killing of Gen. Abbas Nilforushan marks the latest casualty suffered by Iran as the nearly yearlong Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip teeters on the edge of becoming a regional conflict. His death further ratchets up pressure on Iran to respond, even as Tehran has signaled in recent months that it wants to negotiate with the West over sanctions crushing its economy.

Nilforushan, 58, was killed Friday in the strike in Lebanon in which Nasrallah died, the state-owned newspaper Tehran Times reported. Ahmad Reza Pour Khaghan, the deputy head of Iran’s judiciary, also confirmed Nilforushan’s death, describing him as a “guest to the people of Lebanon,” the state-run IRNA news agency said.

Khaghan also reportedly said that Iran had the right to retaliate under international law.

Nilforushan served as the deputy commander for operations in the Guard, a role overseeing its ground forces. What he was doing in Lebanon on Friday wasn’t immediately clear. The Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force for decades has armed, trained and relied on Hezbollah as part of its strategy to rely on regional militias as a counterbalance to Israel and the United States.

Nilforushan, like other members of the Guard that view Israel as Iran’s main enemy, long mocked and criticized the country.

“The Zionist regime has many ethnic, cultural, social and military rifts. It is in vulnerable and in doom status more than before,” Nilforushan said in 2022, according to an IRNA report.

The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Nilforushan in 2022 and said he had led an organization “directly in charge of protest suppression.” Those sanctions came amid the monthslong protests in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini following her arrest for allegedly not wearing her headscarf, or hijab, to the liking of police. At the time, Nilforushan accused Iran’s enemies abroad of stoking the demonstrations led by Iranian women that challenged both the mandatory hijab and the country’s theocracy.

Nilforushan also served in Syria, backing President Bashar Assad in his country’s decades-long war that grew out of the 2011 Arab Spring. Like many of his colleagues, he began his military career in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s.

In 2020, Iranian state television called him a “comrade” of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of its expeditionary Quds Force who was killed in a U.S. drone attack in Baghdad that year.

Nilforushan’s death comes as Iran in recent months has been signaling it wants to change its tack with the West after years of tensions stemming from then-President Donald Trump’s unilateral withdrawal of America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018.

In July, Iranian voters elected reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian following a helicopter crash that killed President Ebrahim Raisi, a hard-line protege to 85-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

While critical of Israel, Pezeshkian has maintained that Iran is willing to negotiate over its nuclear program, which now enriches uranium to near weapons-grade levels. While Iran has been able to sell oil abroad despite sanctions, it likely was at a steep discount and energy prices have fallen further in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Iran still threatens to retaliate for Soleimani’s killing and the suspected Israeli assassination in Tehran of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in July. Iran hasn’t explained why it hasn’t struck yet, though an unprecedented direct attack it launched in April on Israel failed to seriously damage any major target.

Evil Biden Reacts to Nasrallah Death by Calling for Ceasefire Deals Despite Israel’s advance toward Victory

 

Joey Biden issued a statement on Saturday welcoming the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike, but repeating his call for ceasefire deals in Gaza and Lebanon, despite Israel’s advance toward victory.

The Times of Israel reported that the Biden administration was angry about the airstrike because Israel did not inform it until the operation was in progress, and appeared to have strung the White House along about a ceasefire.

Israel had reason to worry that the White House might not keep the operation secret. The head of intelligence at Biden’s National Security Council, Maher Bitar, is a former radical pro-Palestinian activist. Moreover, President Barack Obama was thought to have leaked information to the media about a potential Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to warn the Iranians and prevent the Israelis from attacking.

The Biden administration has tried, throughout the war that erupted with the Hamas terror attack last October 7, to prevent Israel from destroying terrorist organizations. Vice President Kamala Harris warned Israel against entering Rafah to destroy Hamas.

Israel Blockades Lebanon After Eliminating Nasrallah and the Entire Hezbollah High Command!

Israeli forces blockaded Lebanon this weekend after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized the assassination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah a few minutes after completing his address to the United Nations on Friday afternoon.

The entire Hezbollah high command was eliminated together with Nasrallah, the IDF confirmed, including Ali Karki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, and additional Hezbollah commanders. Several senior members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including IRGC Quds Force in Lebanon commander Abbas Nilforoushan, were also killed.

Following the strike, the IDF imposed a military blockade on Lebanon to prevent the rearming of the terrorist organization by Iran, via Syria.

Over the last day, Lebanese bulldozers were attacked from the air trying to restore the six land border crossings between Lebanon and Syria that were bombed by the Israeli Air Force earlier this week. The Israeli military officially informed Lebanon that it will not allow planes arriving from Syria or Iran to land in Beirut.

An Iranian cargo plane was advised Saturday morning not to land in Beirut and Iranian ships may also be stopped off the coast of Lebanon. Civilian movement will be allowed, the IDF said.

For years, the Hezbollah terrorist organization systematically operated to build up its capabilities and increase its stockpile of weapons. Weapons and components have been smuggled from the east into Lebanon and delivered to manufacturing sites, where a range of weapons are produced—including precision-guided missiles—to be used in attacks against the State of Israel.

On Friday night, following precise intelligence, the IDF intensified its operations against Hezbollah’s force build-up through a series of targeted strikes on key weapons manufacturing sites. The targets included a facility used to produce and assemble missile and rocket launchers in southern Lebanon, as well as another site in the Beka’a Valley that was intended to support Hezbollah’s force build-up efforts.

IDF strikes were also carried out earlier this week (Thursday) on several smuggling routes used to transfer weapons from Syria into Lebanon.

Nasrallah’s bunker, which served as the Central Headquarters of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, was located underground embedded under a residential building. A total of six buildings were leveled with 83 tons of explosives dropped in Friday afternoon’s surgical strike monitored from the Israeli Air Force Command center by IDF Chief of General Staff LTG Herzi Halevi and IAF Commander MG Tomer Bar.

Nasrallah and Hezbollah joined the war against Israel launched on October 7, 2023 by fellow Iranian proxy Hamas in Gaza, the very next day — on October 8, 2023 — and since that time ordered and coordinated daily rocket, missile and explosive drone attacks on Israel.

The IDF said Saturday night that its forces are “continuing to act to degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities, which pose a threat to the citizens of Israel and the entire region.”

Coward! Iran’s supreme leader moved to secure location

 

Nassralla Kissing Khamenei's Ring

Iran’s terror-supporting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was moved to a secure location on Saturday, even as he urged the Muslim world to “stand by” Lebanon and Hezbollah following Israel’s killing of Hassan Nasrallah.

Presumed next on Israel’s target list after the deaths of the leaders of both Hezbollah and Hamas — the latter inside Iran in July — Khamenei, 85, was moved to an undisclosed location in Iran with heightened security efforts in place, according to two regional officials briefed by Tehran.

Iran is in constant contact with Hezbollah in Lebanon and other regional proxy groups as it works to determine the next steps following Israel’s announcement that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in a strike in Beirut Friday, the source said.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other Hamas officials in Gaza also ceased their movements Saturday as a precautionary measure, the Times of Israel reported, citing the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya news outlet.

Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah’s death on Saturday, several hours after the initial IDF report claiming his demise.

In a statement issued Saturday, Khamenei urged Muslims in the region “to stand by the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah with whatever means they have and assist them in confronting the… wicked regime [of Israel].”

 “The fate of this region will be determined by the forces of resistance, with Hezbollah at the forefront,” the supreme leader insisted, according to state media reports.

Nasrallah’s killing prompted international concerns about an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which has been steadily growing since Hamas’ terror attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

On Saturday, the European Commission and European Union Aviation Safety Agency cautioned airlines to avoid Lebanese and Israeli airspace until at least Oct. 31 due to “an overall intensification of airstrikes and degradation in the security situation.”

Hezbollah responded to the strikes that killed Nasrallah and several other higher-ups in the terror group by launching a volley of rockets into Israel, the Times of Israel reported. 

Several rockets fired over the Western Galilee, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights set off warning sirens before being intercepted by air defenses.

Israel also continued its strikes against Lebanon, the IDF confirmed.

Since Friday night, the IDF said it had hit about 140 Hezbollah targets, including dozens of rocket launchers aimed at Israel.

Netanyahu's Fiery Speech at the UN

 

Mass Murderer Hassan Nasrallah eliminated in airstrike

On Friday afternoon, shortly before Shabbat, the IDF conducted a precise strike, eliminating Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi confirmed.

The strike took place in Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in the heart of Beirut, along with other senior officials in the terrorist organization.

Halevi stressed, "Nasrallah indiscriminately murdered Israeli civilians and aimed to end this war with the destruction of the State of Israel. We made sure that did not occur. We eliminated him, and we will continue to grow stronger."

He added, "Hezbollah has murdered innocent people worldwide, hiding his weapons under the homes of families, women and children and turning them into human shields."

"As we have shown, we will not allow such a threat to our citizens! We are determined to continue destroying the Hezbollah terrorist organization and to keep fighting. We have more missions ahead on all fronts—destroying terrorist organizations and their capabilities, returning our hostages—the mission is constantly before our eyes! As well as the safe return of the residents in the north and south to their homes.

"This week, the year comes to an end—a year where IDF commanders and soldiers fight bravely and work to put an end to the hardships of the past. The IDF stands with the bereaved families. We will continue to honor the path of the fallen.

"With the fighting spirit and resilience of the entire nation, the IDF will continue to safeguard our security!”
