The detainees, none of whom have been charged with a crime, will be resettled in Oman as the Biden administration moves to wind down operations at the notorious detention facility.
“Although different processes, each of the Yemeni detainees underwent a thorough, interagency review by career professionals who unanimously determined all detainees as transfer eligible consistent with the national security interests of the United States,” the Department of Defense said in a statement.
The Pentagon noted that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin notified Congress in 2023 of his intent to repatriate the 11 Yemeni detainees to Oman.
“The United States appreciates the willingness of the Government of Oman and other partners to support ongoing U.S. efforts focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing the Guantanamo Bay facility,” the DoD said.
Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi, an alleged al Qaeda fighter and bodyguard for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, was one of the 11 men released.
An unclassified 2016 US intelligence file on al-Alwi warns that as a GITMO detainee he “has made several statements since early 2016 that suggest he maintains an extremist mindset.”
The file also notes that al-Alwi has committed a number of disciplinary infractions while in detention that were “pardoned” as part of an “incentive for detainees to improve their conduct.”
Suhayl Abdul Anam al Sharabi, another alleged bin Laden bodyguard, was also released.
Al Sharabi’s 2020 intelligence file notes that he “may have been associated with an aborted 9/11-style hijacking plot in Southwest Asia” as a member of al Qaeda.
The nine others being released to Oman are: Uthman Abd al-Rahim Muhammad Uthman, Khalid Ahmed Qassim, Hani Saleh Rashid Abdullah, Tawfiq Nasir Awad Al-Bihani, Omar Mohammed Ali al-Rammah, Sanad Ali Yislam Al Kazimi, Hassan Muhammad Ali Bib Attash, Sharqawi Abdu Ali Al Hajj and Abd Al-Salam Al-Hilah.
The latest batch of transfers follows the Pentagon’s December announcement that detainee Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi had been resettled in Tunisia.
Fifteen detainees remain at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, of whom three are eligible for transfer and three are eligible to have their detention status reviewed, according to the Pentagon.
Another seven inmates are involved in the military commissions process and two others have been convicted and sentenced by military commissions.
The Biden administration offered plea deals last year to alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and co-conspirators Walid Bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi. All three men have been held at Guantanamo Bay since 2003.
The deals, slammed by 9/11 families, Republican lawmakers and the defense secretary, will spare the alleged terrorists the death penalty.
Interviewing Schumer on Sunday, NBC News’ Kristen Welker played a clip of him in February claiming President Biden’s “mental acuity is great” and calling any suggestion otherwise “right-wing propaganda.”
She prodded Chuck to explain himself: “What do you say to Americans who feel as though you and other Democrats mislead them about President Biden’s mental acuity?”
Someone with an ounce of shame (or sense) might take the opportunity to grovel or at least apologize, but Schumer opted for a fresh whopper: “We didn’t. Let’s look at President Biden. He’s had an amazing record . . . He’s a great guy, and when he stepped down he did it on his own because he thought it was better, not only for the Democratic Party, for America.”
Did it on his own . . . with Nancy Pelosi’s knife to his neck and the party’s donors on strike.
And still no acknowledgment that Biden had been clearly, painfully, publicly failing for months even as Schumer & Co. insisted he could do four more years (as an animatronic figure, maybe).
Sunday, Chuck dodged “I’m not going to speculate” on whether Biden could’ve served a second term, when months earlier he was part of chorus insisting Joe was “sharp,” “detail-oriented” and “on his game” and denouncing the “right-wing propaganda” to the contrary.
Even though White House aides have now admitted to The Wall Street Journal that they started hiding Joe’s mental decline on Day 1 of his presidency.
Even before the disastrous debate, the truth was obvious to anyone watching the prez at any public event.
Yes, Chuck in private reportedly told Joe to drop out of the race in July. But he’s still in public denial.
It’s one thing for Schumer to drone on now about all the wonderful things the prez achieved, another entirely to pretend he wasn’t part of he obscene coverup.
He met face-to-face with Biden throughout, as he had with past presidents. One way or another, he had to realize the truth — but chose to play along with the lies.
Schumer’s not scrambling to salvage Biden’s legacy, but his own image.
By trying to re-peddle a fantasy that fell apart months ago, Chuck’s only proving that he and his party still can’t be trusted.
Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away . . .
— Hughes Mearns
By Martin Gurri
January 20 will see the conclusion of the most extraordinary episode in the history of the American presidency. For the last four years, the supposed president, Joe Biden, has been the man who wasn’t there.
Bloody and historic events — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Hamas’ pogrom in Israel and the subsequent five-cornered Israel-Iran war — have shaken the world, yet Biden wasn’t there.
Millions of non-Americans of every description, including terrorists, criminals, and members of the Cuban Communist Party, have swarmed over the Mexican border and flooded into our urban centers, costing billions of taxpayers’ dollars to support — and still Biden wasn’t there.
And speaking of money: Trillions were spent by a ramshackle administration that built nothing and achieved nothing, but did manage to trigger an inflationary spike, making food, cars, and housing less affordable to ordinary Americans — though Biden wasn’t there for this, either.
The president of the United States is supposed to preside — I mean, it’s in the title.
Biden didn’t because he couldn’t.
From the start of this term, we are now told, old age had grievously enfeebled his body and dimmed his mind — and the latter, let’s recall, never burned with particular brilliance.
The controllers who manage Biden worked hard to keep him away from his job. He spent 40% of his time in office on vacation, much of it slurping ice cream cones on the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach.
Great gig, if you can get it.
Justin Trudeau resigned as the Canadian Prime Minister on Monday to cap off a spectacular fall from grace just days before Donald Trump enters office.
The move came after weeks of pressure from his colleagues in Canada's Liberal Party amid a significant, and growing, rift over how to handle relations with Trump in his second term.
Trump announced on social media after his reelection a plan to introduce a 25 percent tariff on goods from Canada, which led Trudeau into a frenzy to try and clean-up his relationship with the U.S. president-elect before he is sworn into office later this month.
The day after unveiling the idea, Trudeau, 53, immediately flew down to Mar-a-Lago to do damage control.
During that meeting, reports emerged detailing how Trudeau pleaded with Trump not to impose the tariffs and claimed it would kill Canada's economy.
To this, Trump suggested that the northern neighbors could become America's 51st state, and in following weeks mocked the Canadian leader by calling him Governor Trudeau.
The reason Trump wants to impose tariffs on Canada is to pressure Ottawa to do more to secure the border and stop leaking illegal immigrants into the U.S.
Trudeau's resignation comes the same day that Congress will move to certify the 2024 U.S. presidential election results as a victory for Trump and cement his forward movement to retaking office.
Meanwhile, the Liberal Party in Canada set an emergency meeting for Wednesday to discuss how to handle the growing rift within the party, but Trudeau stepped aside before the gathering could take place.
During remarks at the Rideau Cottage residence in Ottawa, Canada on Monday morning, Trudeau made the announcement that he will step aside.
'I intend to resign as Party Leader, as Prime Minister, after the Party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process,' Trudeau announced in remarks delivered in English and then in French.
Trudeau will remain in power until his party selects a new leader, which they will need to do before general elections in the fall, which polls indicate conservatives will win with Pierre Poilievre as their leader.
The father-of-three served as Prime Minister since November 2015 and resided at Rideau Cottage with his family. He and wife Sophie announced in August 2023 their separation.
His tenure now ends at just over eight years in the PM's office.
While Trudeau was preparing to make his historic announcement on Monday, his ex-wife was posting to Instagram about a skiing trip in Canada's Gatineau Park.
Amid reports of Trudeau's impending resignation this week, the Canadian Dollar began surging after a massive, record-breaking dip last month.
Trudeau's resignation came after Canada's Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland stepped down in mid-December. On her way out the door, Freeland cited her differences with Trudeau on how to approach Trump's presidency and his proposal for tariffs.
Canada is preparing for general elections at the end of October this year.
Once a highly popular political leader, Trudeau has fallen from grace in recent years – especially amid Trump's rise to prominence. Only one if five Canadians now feel their country is heading in the right direction with Trudeau at the helm.
And even Trudeau couldn't downplay the importance of secure borders after he announced in October that Canada would sharply cut the number of new immigrants allowed into the country.
He admitted that the influx of permanent citizens over the last four years – a period where President Joe Biden was also leading the U.S. in record-breaking illegal immigration – was applying too much pressure on the housing market.
This comes after Trudeau often bragged about how Canada was better at welcoming immigrants and newcomers than other western countries.
'Even Justin Trudeau wants to close Canada's borders,' President-elect Trump noted.
In December, just a month after winning a second term, Trump announced his new idea for tariffs.
He unveiled the plan to impose a 25 percent tax on goods from Mexico and Canada in retribution for declining to help more with the fentanyl and migration crisis.
And for China, he wants an additional 10 percent tariff on top of other tariffs.
President Biden gave some parting attacks to the press during a public White House event Sunday night.
Opposition Leader Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) tweeted less than an hour after the attack that killed three Israelis and wounded eight:
“You are the government. You are responsible. The conceptzia is yours. It was yours on October 7. It has been yours for the past 20 years. You are the ones leading Israel from disaster to disaster. And then you whine as if you had nothing to do with it.”
Smotrich responded:
“You are right, Yair. We are the government and the responsibility is ours. A responsibility to fix what you and your friends on the left have done in the decades in which you promoted surrender and retreats and Oslo and escape from terror. We are fixing the escape from Gaza and the expulsion from Gush Katif, fixing the escape from Lebanon, and with God’s help we will also fix the damage of the Oslo disaster.”
He continued:
“It’s not easy to remove a stone that a bunch of irresponsible blind people threw into a well. It’s complex and takes time and requires determination and perseverance. But believe me, we’re on our way there with determination and without giving up.
“We dismantled Gaza and Lebanon like no one else has done, and we will continue until Hamas is completely destroyed. We dismantled most of Hezbollah’s capabilities, and we are continuing there as well, and we will do it in Judea and Samaria too. We will abolish Oslo, dismantle the PA, take back responsibility, and eradicate terrorism. I have been doing this for the past two years in the civilian sphere, which is my responsibility in the Ministry of Defense (where he is an adjunct minister in charge of the IDF civil government), and I am determined to lead this in the military and political aspects in the government and the cabinet.
“It is difficult and complex and challenging, both politically and security-wise, but this term of ours will go down in Israeli history as a dramatic turning point in the perception of security and, therefore, in Israel’s security reality in all sectors, and by the end of it, Judea and Samaria will also look completely different, God willing. You can take this as a commitment.”
“Funnduq, Shechem, and Jenin need to look like Jabaliya so that Kfar Saba does not become a Kfar Aaza, God forbid.”
Dear Mrs .Preisler.Thank you ❤️,Thank you for your courage, thank you for standing alone but bigger than an army in front of this wave of terror lovers.

Approximately 50 recruits enlisted on Sunday to the Charedi ‘Hahashmonaim’ Brigade and will form the core of its first company.
Additionally, by the end of the day, approximately 100 additional haredim will be enlisted for reserve service from the haredi sector. They will begin six months of infantry training at Rifleman 07 level, after which they will become part of the brigade's first reserves company.
During the month, several supplementary enlistment rounds will take place, and recruits from these rounds will join the ongoing basic training process.
The two companies enlisted today mark the initial step in establishing the haredi brigade, a significant milestone in expanding the service of the haredi sector in the IDF, particularly in light of the operational needs arising from the demands of the war.
In preparation for the brigade's establishment, an extensive preparation process was undertaken, which included identifying and training personnel, adapting policies, renovating the training base, and adjusting it to accommodate the ultra-orthodox way of life.
Throughout the day, additional enlistments of haredi pre-recruits are taking place for various other tracks that have been established to facilitate their integration into the IDF.
The Biden administration is reportedly crafting a “January surprise” that could severely undermine Israel at the United Nations, echoing the actions of the Obama administration in 2016. According to Michael Doran, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a former senior director in the U.S. National Security Council, Biden’s team is preparing a move modeled directly on U.N. Resolution 2334, which labeled Israeli settlements beyond the 1967 Green Line as illegal.
Speaking on his podcast on Dec. 31, Doran detailed how the administration is poised to declare Israel in violation of U.S. law by allegedly blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. This finding, rooted in Section 620(i) of the Foreign Assistance Act, could lead to U.N. action against Israel, even if Biden personally waives immediate penalties. The resulting diplomatic fallout, Doran warned, would deliver a severe blow to Israel’s international standing, with the administration effectively signaling its disapproval while publicly maintaining plausible deniability.
“Obama delivered a parting kick to Netanyahu in 2016 by allowing U.N. Resolution 2334 to pass without a veto,” Doran said. “It painted large swathes of Israel, including the Western Wall, as occupied territory. Biden’s team is preparing to do the same.”
According to Doran, the Biden administration’s approach mirrors Obama’s tactic of letting other nations spearhead the resolution, while the U.S. abstains, enabling hostile international actors to take the lead. Algeria or Slovenia are expected to introduce a new resolution condemning Israel, which the Biden administration may either quietly support or abstain from vetoing at the Security Council.
“The administration wants to have it both ways,” Doran explained. “They will find Israel guilty of obstructing aid to Gaza but will waive the consequences, signaling to the U.N. and other international bodies that the U.S. stands aside as Israel faces censure.”
The fallout, Doran warned, could cascade into the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and the European Union, all of which could leverage the U.S. finding to justify further action against Israel.
Key figures in the administration, including USAID chief Samantha Power, deputy secretary Kurt Campbell, and U.N. envoy deputy Ned Price, are reportedly driving the effort. Others, such as National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, are described as undecided, while a minority within the administration, including Middle East advisers Brett McGurk and Amos Hochstein, are pushing back.
“There are two camps fighting over this inside the administration,” Doran said. “The question is whether Biden and Blinken will sign off on it.”
Doran further noted that the incoming Republican-controlled Congress and Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House could disrupt or reverse the administration’s plans. Trump previously stood by Israel against U.N. resolutions and brokered several historic peace agreements in the region.
The reported scheme underscores deepening divisions within the Biden administration over Middle East policy, with some officials pushing for harsher measures against Israel while others urge caution.
Critics argue that such a move risks alienating Israel, one of America’s closest allies, while emboldening hostile actors in the region. “This isn’t just about Israel,” Doran cautioned. “It’s about projecting weakness to Iran, Hezbollah, and others who see U.S. equivocation as a green light.”
In a recent interview with NBC’s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was confronted about President Biden’s declining mental acuity during his time in office. Welker aired a clip showing Schumer blasting Republicans for pushing what he called “right-wing propaganda” regarding Biden’s cognitive state. When pressed on this point, Schumer deflected, insisting that Joe Biden had “stepped down on his own” and that his decision was not influenced by party leadership or concerns over his mental health.
Schumer’s response sparked outrage among critics, who argue that Biden’s resignation was not as voluntary as it seemed. According to sources close to the Democratic Party, Biden was pushed out by key members of his own leadership team, including Schumer himself, due to mounting concerns about his ability to effectively lead the country.
When Welker pressed Schumer for clarity on the situation, he doubled down, shifting the narrative and suggesting that Americans should “salute” Joe Biden for his service. “We need to honor his time in office and the sacrifices he made for this country,” Schumer said. “Biden has done great things, and we should acknowledge that, rather than focus on unfounded narratives.”
Critics argue that the Democratic Party, rather than fully acknowledging Biden’s cognitive struggles, chose to cover up these concerns throughout his presidency. Many on the right have long questioned Biden’s mental acuity, pointing to his frequent gaffes, memory lapses, and what they see as signs of confusion in public appearances.
Welker, who has often faced criticism for not holding Biden’s administration accountable during his presidency, appeared more pointed in this interview, a shift that surprised many viewers. Some are questioning where this level of scrutiny was during Biden’s time in office, arguing that the mainstream media downplayed legitimate concerns over his ability to serve as president.
The full truth of Biden’s departure remains a point of contention. However, the interview has ignited a broader debate over the transparency and accountability of both the Democratic Party and the mainstream media during Biden’s presidency.
Trump plans to implement devastating sanctions against the International Criminal Court in The Hague immediately after taking office, sources close to the matter disclosed to Israel Hayom. These executive orders could be unveiled as soon as Jan. 21.
The sanctions package will target both individual ICC personnel, including judges and prosecutors, and the institution as a whole. The administration intends to classify the ICC as an organization threatening U.S. interests, employing designation procedures similar to those used by the State Department for terrorist organizations globally. This designation will trigger severe restrictions on anyone involved with the court’s operations.
Financial institutions worldwide will be required to terminate relationships with ICC personnel or face U.S. sanctions themselves. Mirroring actions taken against sanctioned Israeli citizens by the outgoing administration, ICC staff will find themselves unable to perform routine banking operations or use credit cards. Their financial activities will be effectively frozen, with exceptions only for essential needs such as food purchases. Furthermore, all U.S.-based assets belonging to ICC employees and the institution will be frozen.
The incoming administration’s strategy extends beyond unilateral actions, as it plans to secure commitments from U.S. allies to reject cooperation with arrest warrants targeting Israeli officials.
These measures aim to create conditions allowing the court to independently withdraw its arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Officials hope that during appeal proceedings, either Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan or the judges will identify legal grounds to rescind these warrants.
