Hamas accuses Israel of ‘fabricating’ ceasefire end claims

Media earlier claimedthe Palestinian militant group had told the US the truce with Israel was over

Reports thatHamas is ready to resume military operations in Gaza are fake, a member of the movement’s political bureau said on Saturday.He went on to accuse Israel of fabricating the claims.

According to earlier media reports,the Palestinian militant group told US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that the ceasefire agreement in Gaza had ended, citing repeated violations by Israel.

“Reports from Israeli sourcesthat Hamas informed Witkoff the agreement had ended are false,” Izzat Al-Rishq said, according to several Middle East media outlets.

“Israel is reportedly manufacturing pretexts to evade the agreementand return to a campaign of destruction. It is the party that systematically breaches the ceasefire on a daily basis,” the official claimed.

The agreement, signed in Sharm el-Sheikh by Trump and mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye,is aimed at halting hostilities in Gaza following months of intense fighting. The peace deal called for Israel to withdraw from parts of the enclave and for Hamas to release 20 Israeli hostages in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Saturday that West Jerusalem had conducted strikes in Gaza, killing five Hamas officials.He claimed that the strikes were in response to a breach of the truce by Hamas – a claim the group has denied.

In its latest statement,Hamas reportedly called on mediators and the US administration to interveneand ensure that Israel abides by the terms of the agreement.

At least 342 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes in Gazasince the ceasefire came into force, according to local officials.

Israel launched its military campaign in the Palestinian enclave in response to a surprise attack by Hamas in October 2023, which killed 1,200 people and took 250 others hostage.

The Hamas-run Gaza health authorities reportthat the ensuing Israeli operations have killed more than 69,500 Palestinians.

EU, NATO’s role in Ukraine settlement has yet to be discussed — Rubio

The United States agreed to put "items that involve both Europe and NATO" as part of "a separate track"

GENEVA, November 24. /TASS/.The role of the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance in resolving the Ukraine conflict has yet to be discussed, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a news conference in Geneva following a meeting with Ukrainian negotiators.

"This is a living, breathing document. Every day, with input, it changes," Rubio said, commenting on the peace plan proposed by the United States.

"There are some that involved equities, or the role of the EU or of NATO or so forth.And those we kind of segregated out because we just met with the national security advisors for various European countries, and those are things we'll have to discuss with them," he explained.

The United States agreed to put "items that involve both Europe and NATO" as part of "a separate track," Rubio specified.

On Saturday, EU leaders expressed their disagreement with a range of provisions set out in Washington’s peace plan and called for amending it.

According to Germany’s Bild newspaper,Germany is concerned over the US initiative and began working on diplomatic countermeasures.

Under the US-proposed plan, which was leaked to the Western media,the United States and other countries will have to recognize Russia’s sovereignty over Crimea, Donbass and other territories that Ukraine will have to give up.

In return, Kiev will be given American and European security guarantees. Ademilitarized zone will be created, and Ukrainian troops will be withdrawn from areas therein.

The Axios news webiste quoted an American official as saying that theline of engagement in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will be frozen, and Russia will have to return some areas to Ukraine. The size of the Ukrainian army will be significantly reduced and it will be deprived of long-range weapons.The deployment of foreign troops will be banned, and Russian will have to become an official state language.

Bloomberg reported thatthe new US plan also provides for the lifting of sanctions against Russia.

Erdogan plans to discuss new grain corridor, Ukraine settlement with Putin

During his conversation with the Russian leader,he "intends to discuss what steps can be taken to stop the loss of life," the Turkish president noted.

JOHANNESBURG, November 23. /TASS/. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that he plans to raise the issue of resuming the grain corridor agreements during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled for Monday.

"Tomorrow we will have another phone conversation with Mr. Putin. We previously had a well-known grain corridor initiative. This initiative was truly aimed at opening the way to peace.We wanted the grain corridor to reach both Europe and Africa. Unfortunately, we have only had limited success. I'll ask Mr. Putin about it again at the talks tomorrow. I think if we can get this process going it will be a good thing," he told a press conference in South Africa where he participated in the G20 summit.

"This week I hosted Mr. [Vladimir] Zelensky. Tomorrow I will have a phone conversation with Mr. Putin. Of course, during our bilateral meetings here [at the G20 summit], we discussed the war between Russia and Ukraine in detail, assessed the situation, and considered what we could do.We have been persistently focused on questions of how peace can be achieved," the Turkish leader said.

During his conversation with Putin, he "intends to discuss what steps can be taken to stop the loss of life," Erdogan noted."After these talks, I hope to have the opportunity to discuss the results with both the Europeans and [US President Donald] Trump," he added.

US may hand over Tomahawks to Kiev in case of peaceful settlement, reports WP

American officials close to the negotiations told the publication that the Trump administration understands that security guarantees to Ukraine are not yet credible enough in the US-proposed plan. (Hell No!)

WASHINGTON, November 23. /TASS/. The United States is considering transferring Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine as a security guarantee if a peaceful settlement is achieved, The Washington Post (WP) reported, citing sources.

American officials close to the negotiations told the publication that the Trump administration understands that security guarantees to Ukraine are not yet credible enough in the US-proposed plan.Specifically, Trump may increase the maximum permitted size of the Ukrainian army or remove it altogether. "And to bolster postwar deterrence, officials are considering supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles if a peace agreement is reached," the newspaper wrote.

The delivery ofthese missiles is being considered as an alternative to the deployment of European military forces in Ukraine, which Russia opposes, the publication's sources explained.Washington believes Kiev will not use these missiles against Russia preemptively because doing so it would lose the support of the US and Europe.

US does not want repeat of situation with Minsk agreements — Kellogg

Theagreements were completely sabotaged by Kiev with the support of Berlin and Paris(mostly the UK and Boris Johnson)

NEW YORK, November 23. /TASS/. Washington, working to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, is seeking to prevent a repeat of the situation with Minsk agreements, US Special Presidential Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg said.

'We don't want history to repeat itself. We don't want the Budapest Memorandum to come back. We don't want the Minsk 1 or 2 to come back," he said in an interview with Fox News.

The Minsk Agreements are a package of documents adopted in 2014-2015 to resolve the situation in southeastern Ukraine. The Minsk Protocol, or Minsk 1, was signed in September 2014. On February 12, 2015, a set of measures for implementing the Minsk Agreements (Minsk 2) was agreed upon. These agreements were completely sabotaged by Kiev with the support of Berlin and Paris.

Trump faces rare rift with Florida Republicans over offshore drilling plan

BY RACHEL FRAZIN 11/23/251/2

(DS republicans like DeSantis and his donors will oppose Trump’s plans for the next 3 years and a month.This is not an issue it’s a plan to get Rino reps into office in 2028. Note this the big money donors behind DeSantis have tried for years to defeat him)

Energy & Environment

Florida Republicans are fuming as the Trump administration proposes to open up new drilling in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico.

“The new maps released today by @SecretaryBurgum and @Interior outlining potential new offshore oil drilling sites in the Gulf of America are HIGHLY concerning—and we will be engaging directly with the department on this issue,” wrote Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) in a post on the social platform X.

“Preserving our state’s natural beauty is deeply important to the millions who call the Sunshine State home, our visitors, and those whose livelihoods depend on tourism,” Moody wrote.

The office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) also criticized the plan, noting that in 2020, President Trump blocked drilling off the state’s coasts.

“Our Administration supports the 2020 Presidential Memorandum and urges the Department of Interior to reconsider and to conform to the 2020 Trump Administration policy,” Molly Best, a spokesperson for DeSantis, said in a statement to The Hill.

It’s a rare rift between the state’s Republicans and Trump, who made the state his primary residence in 2019. While his Mar-a-Lago resort is situated on the state’s east coast on the Atlantic Ocean, drilling in the eastern gulf would be more likely to impact the state’s west coast.

On Thursday, the Trump administration proposed a massive expansion of U.S. offshore drilling, which would include opening up new drilling in the eastern gulf, as well as in California.

California is reliably blue but has a few swing districts where the issue could be a big one. Florida, by contrast, has gone from a swing state to reliably red, so the drilling issue is a rare break for some of its members with the president.

The move is something of a reversal for Trump, who in his first term as president barred drilling off the coast of Florida until 2032.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) indicated in a social media post that he preferred the previous policy.

“Florida’s beautiful beaches and coastal waters are so important to our state’s economy, environment, and military community, which is why I have fought for years to keep drilling off Florida’s coasts and worked closely with President Trump during his first term to extend the moratorium banning oil drilling off Florida’s coasts through 2032,” Scott wrote.

“I have been speaking to @SecretaryBurgum and made my expectations clear that this moratorium must remain in place, and that in any plan, Florida’s coasts must remain off the table for oil drilling to protect Florida’s tourism, environment, and military training opportunities,” he added.

The oil industry has argued that drilling even in controversial places such as the eastern gulf is necessary for the long run.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s “updated reserve estimate of 7.04 billion barrels of oil equivalent shows the Central and Western areas will remain prolific for decades, but sustaining the Gulf’s long-term competitiveness means evaluating opportunities in the Gulf of America Program Area B as well,” Erik Milito, president of the National Ocean Industries Association, said in a statement to The Hill, referring to all of the drilling areas proposed by the Trump administration.

“Exploring nearby areas is not only smart policy, it can be a smart investment decision. It keeps the region attractive for capital, extends its productive life, and leverages the strengths that have made the Gulf one of the world’s most successful offshore basins,” he said.

However, Florida is a state whose economy is heavily dependent on beach tourism, and offshore drilling near its coasts is deeply unpopular: In 2018, about 69 percent of voters approved an offshore drilling ban in the state.

The anti-offshore sentiment in the state was amplified by 2010’s Deepwater Horizon disaster, which spilled massive amounts of oil into the gulf, some of which reached Florida’s beaches.

A 2017 paper estimated that 4.15 million trips to Florida were canceled as a result of the spill.

DeSantis was quoted by local media as raising both environmental and military concerns about the plans, given the presence of military bases in Northwest Florida.

“What the Interior Department is proposing to do is really to go back off that policy, and I think that would weaken protections that we worked very hard to establish offshore,” he said. “Yes, part of it is environmental. But part of it is military training. If you go talk to our folks up in the Panhandle who are stationed there, they will say it’s really important to be able to have that access, to be able to do key training.”

Separately, a group of Florida lawmakers wrote to the Interior Department with concerns about an offshore drilling auction they are planning, saying it’s situated too far east.

“We are writing to express concern about a small portion of the blocks available for lease under the Big Beautiful Gulf Lease Sale. … These blocks within the Eastern Gulf Test and Training Range (EGTTR) impact the critical missions at Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field, Tyndall Air Force Base, and Naval Air Station Pensacola,” said the letter from Republican Reps. Jimmy Patronis, Neal Dunn, Scott Franklin, Daniel Webster, Byron Donalds, Mike Haridopolos, Laurel Lee and Vern Buchanan.

Meanwhile, Democrats in the state also criticized the Trump administration over the drilling plan.

“President Trump is selling out Floridians to his big oil donors, and we feel betrayed. Drilling off of the coast of Florida is way too risky and it is a slap in the face after the damage done by the BP Deepwater Horizon blowout,” Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) told reporters.

It’s time to end the filibuster Senate

Republicans should not shy from doing what Democrats are certain to do.1/2

November 23, 2025 at 6:00 a.m. EST

Scott Bessent is U.S. treasury secretary. The American people are just now emerging from the longest and most devastating government shutdown in U.S. history.And while the blame lies squarely with Senate Democrats, we cannot ignore the weapon they used to hold the country hostage: the legislative filibuster.

In January, when spending considerations again come due, if Democrats once again choose to shut down the government,then Republicans should immediately end the filibuster.

By wielding the filibuster, which requires a 60-vote Senate supermajority to pass legislation,Democrats inflicted tremendous harm on the nation, including: $11 billion in permanent economic damage; an estimated 1.5 percentage points in lost GDP growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025; 9,500 canceled flights; and the paychecks of 1.4 million federal workers held for ransom by the left’s demands.

For generations, the filibuster has been romanticized as the Senate’s guardian of deliberation. In reality, it is a historical accident that has evolved into a standing veto for the minority and a license for paralysis. What once seemed like a dignified brake on hasty lawmaking now blocks even routine governance. It’s time for Republicans to acknowledge that the filibuster no longer serves the country — and to be prepared to end it.

The filibuster is not in the Constitution. The Framers envisioned debate, but they expected majority rule.

The modern filibuster traces back to 1806, when the Senate, on the advice of then-former vice president Aaron Burr, deleted the “previous question” motion from its rulebook.

That deletion wasn’t a philosophical embrace of unlimited debate;it was a housekeeping measure that inadvertently removed the chamber’s mechanism for cutting off debate by majority vote.

Only later did senators discover they could exploit the gap to delay or block action. In the modern era, merely threatening a filibuster typically forces a 60-vote supermajority to move legislation forward. Defenders of the filibuster argue that it ensures compromise, encourages bipartisanship and protects minority rights.

That may have been true decades ago, but it is no longer the case now. Today, theminority party can abuse the filibuster to the point of rendering the Senate almost uselessas a deliberative body. Democrats themselves have recognized this phenomenon.

That’s why, in 2013, Majority Leader Harry Reid eliminated the filibuster for presidential nominationsother than Supreme Court justices. In 2017, Republicans followed suit for Supreme Court nominations.

Each side justified its move as a response to unprecedented obstruction by the other. And each time, the Senate survived. The Republic did not fall. If anything, accountability improved because voters could finally see which party was governing and which was obstructing.

Though the filibusterno longer applies to judicial nominations,it still prevents the Senate from functioning as intended. Major legislation is now passed only through reconciliation, executive fiat or brinksmanship.

>>23895002

2/2

The 60-vote threshold has become a convenient excuse for inaction. Both parties claim to defend “tradition.” But traditions are worth keeping only if they serve the country’s interests.

The filibuster no longer does. Some Republicans hesitate to end the filibuster out of fear that Democrats will one day use that same power against them.

But Democrats will use that power against them whether Republicans end the filibuster or not. GOP senators who defend the filibuster are ignoring basic game theory.

As the classic prisoner’s dilemma shows us, in a repeated game,the player who always cooperates while the opponent who always betrays is doomed to lose.

Democrats have already shownthey are willing to change the rules when it benefits them. They have openly called for eliminating the legislative filibuster when it stands in their way. Former president Barack Obama described it as a “Jim Crow relic.”

To believe they would hesitate to remove it when next in power iswishful thinking. Why should Republicans unilaterally disarmwhen Democrats will never do so themselves?

In any strategic contest,deterrence works only when both sides believe in the other side’s willingness to act. By making clear that Republicans are prepared to end the filibuster — and to govern without it — we strengthen our negotiating hand.

Paradoxically, the credible threat of eliminating the filibuster could preserve it longer than endless appeasement ever could. January will test whether Republicans have the courage to follow through.

If Democrats refuse to negotiate in good faith and close the government on Jan. 30, then Republicans must instantly abolish the filibuster.

We cannot allow a procedural fossil to hold the country hostage. Ending the filibuster would break the legislative stalemate, make government more responsive to the needs of voters and restore the Senate to its proper function.

Loomer Takes Credit for Arch Enemy’s Resignation

Story by Jack Revell • 1d

Far-right influencer Laura Loomer has claimed credit for the shock resignation of her bitter rival, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Responding to the news that the Georgia representative will not be returning to congress after the Christmas break, Loomer was quick to take responsibility for her stepping down.

“LOOMERED” she wrote in a message to X just minutes after MTG posted her resignation to the social media site.

The pair have long been engaged in a vicious feud which significantly ramped up last weekfollowing President Donald Trump’s disavowal of Greene, who was previously one of the president’s most loyal allies.

Concluding that MTG’s resignation is timed to create maximum impact for the Republicans, Loomer laid into her online opponent in a series of messages following the news.

“She will probably get a deal with CNN or MSDNC to s–t talk Trump all day throughout the midterms,” Loomer wrote. “She wants the Democrats to win. How much was she paid? That’s what I want to know.”

In another message, Loomer claimed MTG could be on the ballot at the next election.

“She knows she can’t win. She’s doesn’t want to be in the House when the GOP loses the House in 2026, and she knows she can’t survive a primary in 2026.”

“I bet she runs for president in 2028.”

Yet another message suggested MTG is, in fact, playing mind games with her resignation, something Loomer attributed to her gender.

“I hate when women pretend like they are done so you will chase them and beg them to stay. It’s such female behavior,” she wrote.

“MTG wants Trump to chase her. When someone leaves, open the door for them and then change the locks so they can’t return. Goodbye!”

The host of the online show Loomer Unleashed has previously bragged about having a direct line to the White House, with at least 16 officials removed after failing her “loyalty tests.”

However, the White House has tried to distance itself from the so-called “Trump whisperer,” saying“her influence is vastly overrated.”

MTG’s relationship with the White House has been on the rocks over Trump’s handling of the Epstein files and its support for Israel.

While Loomer has engaged in her own spats with the White House,she has remained an ardent attack dog of anyone who critiques Trump. This, of course, includes Greene, who Loomer branded a “two-faced, lying political prostitute” and a “lying b—-.”

In her resignation statement, Greene said she refused to be a “battered wife” following the attacks against her from Republican and MAGA supporters alike.

“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she said.

“And in turn, be expected to defend the president against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.”(It’s hard for me to imagine Trump dumps millions of dollars to destroy MTG, she sounds paranoid now)

Last month, Loomer predicted that Greene would defect to the Democrats before later comparing herself to feared Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
