Headline 1 Trump aims to avoid military action against Iran, US envoy says

Witkoff says president seeks diplomatic solution to Iranian nuclear ambition; Tehran dismisses talks as 'deception' while uranium enrichment and sanctions escalate.

U.S. President Donald Trump's outreach to Iran's top authority, Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on a possible new nuclear deal is an effort to avoid military action, U.S. special envoy Steve BreakWitkoff said on Sunday. "We don't need to solve everything militarily," Witkoff told Fox News.

Actually, yes they do because Iran, like Hamas will never disarm, never surrender.

Headline 2 Hamas rejects bridging proposal, refuses to demilitarize, Witkoff says

Hamas had every opportunity to demilitarize and accept the bridging proposal, but "they elected not to," US special envoy Steve Witkoff stated on Sunday to Fox News.

Hamas "is the aggressor here," Witkoff added. "So this is on Hamas. The United States stands with the state of Israel."

Interestingly, Witkoff acted surprised that Hamas would not demilitarize. He certainly doesn't get it... they will not ever because of what drives them namely, their hatred for Israel and their desire to obliterate them.

Headline 3 US still searching for state to accept Palestinians from Gaza, Israeli cabinet told

Israel and US 'working together' to advance Gazan migration plan, minister tells cabinet • Ofer Winter tipped to head new Israeli office.

The United States government is still searching for a country that would receive Palestinians who are resettled from Gaza, Israeli ministers were told during a cabinet meeting held on Saturday evening.

The message conveyed to the cabinet was that "we are working on this together with the US."

This is another seemingly impossible problem to solve because no country wants them... Not only because of their behavior but also because the Islamic countries want them to remain a thorn in the side of Israel.

"We continue to lead a revolution of normalization and regulation in the settlements. Instead of hiding and apologizing – we raise the flag, build and settle," said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Israel's security cabinet approved a plan to separate 13 Jewish settlements in the West Bank from their neighboring communities, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday.

The settlements will ultimately be recognized as independent, he posted on X about the move, which follows the approval of tens of thousands of housing units across the West Bank.

Well, this is the land that the Lord specifically gave to Abraham and his descendants... so yes, there is every reason to approve these settlements.

Headline 5 US strikes in Yemen took out key Houthi leaders, Mike Waltz says

US strikes in Yemen take out key Houthi leaders as the group escalates threats, including a blockade on Ben-Gurion Airport and missile attacks on Israel.

A US military campaign of strikes in Yemen launched just over a week ago has so far taken out key Houthi leadership, including the group's top missile specialist, White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said on Sunday.

Five missiles have been shot from Yemen toward Israel this week. The U.S. is determined to obliterate their capacity to attack Israel or endanger shipping in the Red Sea.

Headline 6 China Has Set Up Iran's Next War in the Middle East (Gatestone)

Iran, in short, has a nuclear weapons program because of China. Tehran almost certainly has [a nuclear bomb] by now. The Iranians themselves have made that clear.

Diplomats from Russia, Iran, and China met in Beijing this month to support Iran's nuclear weapons program. Tehran, bolstered by Beijing and Moscow, publicly said it had no desire to talk to Trump.

If Waltz is as good as his word -- that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon -- then China, by arming the ayatollahs with nukes, has made sure that the world's next confrontation will be historic.

So much going on, never a dull moment. What will happen next? Stay tuned, only God knows!
