This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Yesterday, negotiations in Egypt on a 20-point plan for ending hostilities in Gaza bore fruit with a ceasefire that is supposed to result in Hamas releasing “all” of the remaining Israeli hostages, living and dead, whom it seized two years ago.
The question is: Will that fruit prove to be poisonous for Israel and our interests?
As the British wit, Samuel Johnson, said of second marriages, Mideast peace processes involve “the triumph of hope over experience.” Hard experience with Sharia-supremacists is that so-called ceasefires going back to Mohammed’s day are actually just “hudnas” – temporary suspensions of hostilities when the Muslim side is facing defeat and used to regroup, rearm, then resume the fighting on more favorable terms.
A critical briefing at 2 p.m. Eastern Time today will examine whether hope is justified. Join us at VictoryCo.org.
In the meantime, hold the champagne.
This is Frank Gaffney.
