Marco Rubio, the prospective Secretary of State, the nominee, had an amazing hearing yesterday. So too did Pam Bondi, President Trump's attorney general nominee. Again, this slate of nominees is excellent overall. We'll get to all of that. Joe Biden made one of the worst farewell addresses in American history, truly awful, not just in terms of the aesthetics of his speech, but in terms of what he said.
We'll begin today with the prospective hostage deal between Israel and Holiday. Hamas. Folks, we'll get into the details of the deal as it currently stands. Now, again, Hamas could change things. Hamas apparently is attempting last minute changes. They do this all the time in an attempt to pry additional concessions out of deals. They're dishonest players, obviously. Right now in Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu has delayed an internal cabinet vote on the deal because of all of these sort of late breaking manipulations from Hamas. But here we're going to talk about the deal as it currently stands. And let's just begin with this. Any deal is going to be a bad deal. Any deal is going to be a bad deal. Israel made clear from the very beginning that it wanted the hostages back, and that was one of the dual goals.
One of the goals was winning the war against Hamas, making sure Hamas could no longer rule the Gaza Strip and present a threat to the state of Israel. The other was getting back the hundreds of hostages that Hamas had taken in the first place. And as soon as it became a goal of Israel to get back the hostages and they started making deals, the only question was going to be what sort of concessions did Israel have to make in order to secure the release of some of those hostages? Well, the Biden administration had been pressuring Israel very strongly to take a deal with Hamas that would have basically achieved Hamas's goals in the war. So to understand whether this is a better than awful deal or whether it's just an awful deal, you first have to understand what the goals of the various sides were in this particular deal.
Then we'll go through the content of the deal, and then we will explain why Trump made the big difference in making this deal happen. So What were the goals? So Hamas had always said since taking two hundred and fifty Israelis hostage. And some of those A are killed, we know they're dead. Some of their bodies have been found. Some of them were released in the first tranche of hostage negotiations way back in October and November of two thousand and twenty three. Right now there are approximately a hundred hostages, many dead, some alive, still being held by Hamas. It is unclear who was dead, it is unclear who is alive. Hamas is evil, full stop. They literally kidnapped women and toddlers. Those toddlers are
Are likely dead. Hamas is right now attempting to trade away the bodies of toddlers for murderers currently sitting in Israeli prisons.
