@@tommyboman7735 it's already breaking. The deal is that Israel is to begin to withdraw from the Philadelphia corridor, and be completely withdrawn in 50 days. An anonymous senior Israeli official now says they will continue to occupy the corridor indefinitely. Edited to correct, I originally said it was Bibi that said that. Netanyahu is making vague statements that to me are essentially the same as the anonymous official, but not giving specifics.
You should know that Walz said that the second phase is not a done deal. Israel will be allowed by the Trump admin to restart hostilities if Israel is not happy with Hamas expectations.
I haven't heard anything about this "ceasefire" which will address the food, water, medical, and housing crisis that faces the Palestinians. As far as I can tell, the Genocide is proceeding apace. :-(

Dear & Alexander, please, invite former Swiss diplomat and ambassador Jean-Daniel Ruch to this channel. He served as the Swiss special envoy to the Middle East from 2006 & also served as an ambassador to Israel from 2016 till 2021 and had held talks with both Israel & Hamas authorities, but was sidelined by the Swiss neocon-like types in the the Swiss government who didn't like Swiss neutrality. As a result of a smear campaign against him, he's had to quit his diplomatic career altogether in 2023. He's done a few interesting interviews available on UA-cam and is a strong proponent of the Swiss neutrality. I think he also has a book on the subject. Anyway, imho he'd be a great guest for this channel. I've already commented this on Alex's channel, just reposting here, hoping you might actually see it.
Hello! It sounds like Representative Mike Turner was asked to step down from his position on the House Intelligence Committee. How could this impact the Ukrainian situation, I wonder.
He pushed big mike and the walrus aside but then who persueded him to blow up the peace envoy and all thise adjacent civilians in Baghdad airport. Who made him commit those particular murders
Jake Sullivan gave his FAREWELL PRESSER,,, "UNLESS SOME CHAOTIC EVENT requires him to step back up to the microphone! And notice to Democrats need to be out of Washington D.C. Sunday, day before inauguation of PRESIDENT Trump Admin.
You praising trump as usual, the real cause is that the IDF is desperate for a cease fire, they are losing in Gaza ,like they lost in south Lebanon against Hezbollah. The IDF soldiers were dying and injured in huge amounts.. therefore the desperation!!!!
Trump deals in results. If we do (a) what is the benefit to the US and what is the projected outcome. If desired result cannot be achieved through initial action what are the alternative methods we can employ. and are these better than our initial action. Those who advise him will be held accountable for what they propose when the result does not meet the set goal or aim. He is not afraid to remove key people for failure.
I agree with some in the comments that this news has been written at least half a dozen times in the past sixteen months. I am not making light of the extraordinary cause, but setting aside that fact seems like setting aside the fact to make political judgments that are partisan. Neither of you are Americans. Why in the world are you partisan about American politics?
The audio on this channel is terrible again. Human voices do not sound like this. Alex and Alexander's voices sound muffled, like they are talking into pillows that filter out all of their high frequencies. Whoever got their hands on this channel's audio controls has done a fine job of ruining the perfectly clean, clear sound this channel had for years. The function of EQ in sound reproduction is to compensate for losses so the natural sound of the human voice is heard. Apparently, this channel's audio has fallen into the hands of someone who is using the artificially thick sound of drive-time shock-jock radio as their standard of excellence, imitating Joe Rogan's sound, for example. FYI: Joe Rogan's sound is not the sound of the natural human voice, which happens to be one of the qualities of the Duran that recommended it before someone started unnecessarily and destructively playing around with the switches on the base of Alex's SM7B microphone.
The way you are talking, one gets the impression Israel has attracted the people of Gaza. At the 7 oct 2023 without provocation they have taken about 250 hostages and raped and killed dozens of civilians. But no the reverse happened. Imagine what would happen if Hamas had attacked Turkey the same way. Do you think there would be still be people brave enough to call themselves Hamas fighters?
It’s pretty wild that we give hamas any kind of good graces on negotiations. It’s absolutely disgusting how many people constantly blame Israel. But there’s no people talking about the utter disgust and heinous acts of Hamas and Palestinians for keeping women and children. It’s very unsettling how people view the sides involved here.

Brilliant comment.
Like President Putin, President Trump is a real man and a real leader
Both of them also know how to handle other people and delegate....!!!
It was pretty clear that Trumps representative pushed this deal through. Now let’s see how Netanyahu breaks this deal.
He already did

I hope that Trump will fully investigate the role played by the USA in the death of Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine.
SAME
Given how the Dems don't want this to happen, I feel Trump might be more likely to do it
RIP, our intrepid journalist Gonzalo.
Trump should investigate why 90% of congress is owned by a foreign state in the middle east.
Israel has not agreed to anything. We've been here before. We thought there was a ceasefire when there actually hasn't been anything agreed to. I'm hesitant to get my hopes up that this deal is actually real.
Netanyahu just delayed it once again. Is anyone surprised?
Yes but it's clear Trump wants an end to it and he holds all the cards. Bibi is in a real pickle this time.

What would we do without The Duran for honest information and insight into complex geopolitical problems ?
You'd be watching Rachel Maddow and what's left of your 🧠 would be turning into jello.

He's already saying there's some "last minute crisis", whatever that means.
Also Blinken will try his best to scupper this deal.

If Biden taks credit for this then I'm taking credit for Nelsons victory at trafalgar. 😂
Too late, Biden thinks he did that as well. And WW2. 😴
Lol 😀😀😀👍👍👍.
Just looking at Blinken is heart warming
Tony l👀ks Blinkered.
(Definition)
to get Blinkered = *When excessive dishonesty makes your face appear constipated and anxious at the same time.*
That has never been said before.
*He did it!*
Then why did he kill Soleimani?
To send a VERY CLEAR message to Tehran. 😁 *Know Thy Place!*
Because Isreal told him Solemani was responsible for the IEDs trafficking of weapons to Hamas and was a top component of child trafficking. He could forgive many things but children were sacred to him at the time. His world wide anti child trafficking has been successful in saving thousands over the years
He was lied too.
I predict the ceasefire will last a maximum of a week, more likely less than two days, kind of like in Lebanon.
Let him have it, at least he’s got one thing right!
From what I gather it seems Trump feels that war is a waste of money, and he would rather make money.

Before Biden I thought Abama was the US biggest shame 😂
Biden was Obama's Vice President in charge of the USA's Foreign Policy Initiative, which included, Dick Cheney, Robert Kaplan and Victoria Nuland.
Biden was Obama's Vice President in charge of the United States of America's Foreign Policy Initiative!
@ In my opinion these above individuals could be considered war criminals. Technically of course it can not be proven unfortunately though

No ceasefire should happen without ALL hostages released immediately.
