GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

ISAIAH 30:26-27
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,(7X OR 7-DEGREES HOTTER) as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people,(ISRAEL) and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
MATTHEW 24:21-22,29
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,(DAY LIGHT HOURS SHORTENED) there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake (ISRAELS SAKE) those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)(THE ASTEROID HITS EARTH HERE)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

EZEKIEL 32:6-9
6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.

8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator and baby murderers by abortion) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
2 Peter 3:6-7 Amplified Bible (AMP) (HOT SUN, NUKES ETC)
6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950-Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
The Hebrew noun accurately translated “oven” refers to a “baking oven” as distinct from a kiln or smelting furnace—both of which burn much hotter. (The Hebrew nouns for “kiln” or for “smelting furnace” are more likely to appear in contexts of God's wrath or judgment.)
21 They have roused me to jealousy with a non-god, they have exasperated me with their idols. In my turn I shall rouse them to jealousy with a non-people, I shall exasperate them with a stupid nation.
22 Yes, a fire has blazed from my anger, it will burn right down to the depths of Sheol; it will devour the earth and all its produce, it will set fire to the footings of the mountains.

Guidance on heat, fire, smoke, and power shutoffs-Information for City employees, DPOs, HR professionals, and managers about employee safety and leaves in heat, fire, smoke, and power shutoff events.Wildfires have significantly impacted the San Francisco Bay Area in recent years. These fires have forced employees to evacuate their primary homes. Wildfire-mitigating Public Safety Power Shutoff events have cut power to employees' homes, sometimes for multiple days. Smoke from area fires has required additional precautions for our workers.
SoCal wildfire disaster sparks interest in Bay Area emergency preparedness classes-ByCornell Barnard KGO logo-Saturday, January 11, 2025 11:47PM
BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- Preparing for emergencies is top of mind for many of us following the developing wildfire disaster happening in Los Angeles.On Saturday in Berkeley, a free community emergency preparedness class saw near-record turnout with people eager to learn more about keeping their families safe."It's very important, because when this disaster is occurring, you're not going to remember where your dad's gold watch is," said Carrie Dovzak.Dovzak has taught this Citizens Emergency Response Team class, or "CERT," dozens of times in Berkeley but the interest in preparing for emergencies has never been greater."I think the big difference is everybody knows someone from LA. It's really affected the people of Berkeley, knowing it could happen here," Dovzak said.There's little doubt the wildfire disaster unfolding in Southern California is causing Bay Area residents to think about their own safety. It's why Beth Waitkus devoted two hours of her Saturday."I have several friends in LA who lost their homes. It's made me really think about preparation and what I can do, and what I can do to support my community," Waitkus said.This class covered all the basics of what to do in the event of a wildfire emergency."People who take these classes talk about how they don't want to evacuate willy-nilly, but sometimes you have to get into that mindset. If you see smoke, and you feel vulnerable, I would say go visit your friends in the city, just get out of harm's way," Dovzak said.Dovzak said to have go-bag ready with essentials like medication, water and non-perishable snacks. And record the contents of your home with your cell phone for insurance purposes."Open up the closets, look at your clothes, go to the kitchen look at all your plates," Dovzak said.There were so many interested in this Saturday class. A total of 70 attended. People were on the waiting list. Organizers plan to have another class next weekend to accommodate everyone."I'm an elementary school principal here in Berkeley, and I live here with my three kids," said Gabe Fredman.Fredman says the wildfires in LA are a wakeup call for all of California to be ready. He believes preparing is the most important thing all of us can do."You can't let these things fade. You got to be ready at the moment. I try to balance that without having the culture of fear, but I want to be prepared," Fredman said.C.E.R.T. training classes are offered by most Bay Area fire departments.

LA fires rage on as meteorologists warn of dangerous weather in coming days-Death toll rises to 16, with another 16 people missing; reinforcements continue to arrive to battle fires, given warnings of ‘critical’ conditions By Christopher Weber and HOLLY RAMER Today, 12:31 am-JAN 12,25
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — US firefighters scrambled Sunday to make further progress against wildfires that have destroyed thousands of homes and killed 16 people in the Los Angeles area, as forecasters warned again of dangerous weather, with the return of strong winds this week. At least 16 people were missing, and authorities said that number was expected to rise.The National Weather Service issued red flag warnings for severe fire conditions through Wednesday, with sustained winds of 50 mph (80 kph) and gusts in the mountains reaching 70 mph (113 kph). The most dangerous day is expected to be Tuesday, according to weather service meteorologist Rich Thompson.“You’re going to have really strong gusty Santa Ana winds, a very dry atmosphere, and still very dry brush, so we still have some very critical fire weather conditions out there,” Thompson said at a community meeting Saturday night.Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone said 70 additional water trucks arrived to help crews fend off flames spread by renewed gusts.“We are prepared for the upcoming wind event,” he said.Fierce Santa Anas have largely been blamed for turning the wildfires sparked last week into infernos that leveled entire neighborhoods around the city where no significant rainfall has been seen in more than eight months.Twelve people were missing within the Eaton Fire zone and four were missing from the Palisades Fire, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said. Luna added that “dozens” more reports might have come in Sunday morning, and investigators were reconciling whether some of the missing might be among the dead. There are no children among those reported missing, he said.Meanwhile, the death toll rose to 16 over the weekend. Five of the deaths were attributed to the Palisades Fire and 11 resulted from the Eaton Fire, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said in a statement Saturday evening.The previous number of confirmed fatalities before Saturday was 11, but officials said they expected that figure to increase, as teams with cadaver dogs conduct systematic grid searches in leveled neighborhoods. Authorities have established a center where people can report the missing.Officials were building an online database to allow evacuated residents to see if their homes were damaged or destroyed. In the meantime, LA city Fire Chief Kristin Crowley urged people to stay away from scorched neighborhoods.“There are still active fires that are burning within the Palisades area, making it extremely, extremely dangerous for the public,” Crowley said at a Sunday briefing. “There’s no power, there’s no water, there’s broken gas lines, and we have unstable structures. The first responders are working as quickly as possible to ensure that it is safe for you to return into your communities.”Officials warned that the ash can contain lead, arsenic, asbestos, and other harmful materials.About 150,000 people in Los Angeles County remained under evacuation orders, with more than 700 residents taking refuge in nine shelters, Luna said.By Sunday morning, Cal Fire reported that the Palisades, Eaton, Kenneth, and Hurst fires had consumed more than 62 square miles (160 square kilometers), an area larger than San Francisco. The Palisades Fire was 11% contained and containment on the Eaton Fire reached 27%. Those two blazes accounted for 59 square miles (nearly 153 square kilometers).Crews from California and nine other states are part of the ongoing response that includes 1,354 fire engines, 84 aircraft, and more than 14,000 personnel, including newly arrived firefighters from Mexico, he said.Fighting to save public and private areas-Minimal growth was expected Sunday for the Eaton Fire, “with continued smoldering and creeping” of flames, an LA County Fire Department incident report said.After a fierce battle on Saturday, firefighters managed to fight back the flames in Mandeville Canyon, home to Arnold Schwarzenegger and other celebrities near Pacific Palisades, not far from the Pacific coast, where swooping helicopters dumped water, as the blaze charged downhill.The fire ran through chaparral-covered hillsides and also briefly threatened to jump over Interstate 405 and into densely populated areas in the Hollywood Hills and San Fernando Valley.Arrests for looting-Looting continues to be a concern, with authorities reporting more arrests as the devastation grows. Michael Lorenz, a captain with the Los Angeles Police Department, said seven people have been arrested in the last two days.“We even made arrests of two individuals that were actually posing as firefighters coming and in and out of houses, so we’re paying very, very close attention to everybody,” Lorenz said at Saturday evening’s community meeting.Asked exactly how many looters have been arrested, Lorenz said he couldn’t give a precise number but that officers were detaining about 10 people a day. California National Guard troops arrived Friday to help guard properties.California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted on X Saturday that “California will NOT allow for looting.”Historical cost-The fires that began Tuesday just north of downtown LA have burned more than 12,000 structures.Firefighters for the first time made progress Friday afternoon on the Eaton Fire north of Pasadena, which has burned more than 7,000 structures, a term that includes homes, apartment buildings, businesses, outbuildings and vehicles. Most evacuation orders for the area were lifted, officials said.No cause has been determined for the largest fires and early estimates indicate the wildfires could be the nation’s costliest ever. A preliminary estimate by AccuWeather put the damage and economic losses so far between $135 billion and $150 billion.In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC, Gov. Gavin Newsom said the fires could end up being the worst natural disaster in US history.“I think it will be in terms of just the costs associated with it, in terms of the scale and scope,” he said.Inmate firefighters on the front lines-Along with crews from other states and Mexico, hundreds of inmates from California’s prison system were also helping firefighting efforts. Nearly 950 incarcerated firefighters were dispatched “to cut fire lines and remove fuel to slow fire spread,” according to an update from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.Though the state has long relied on prison labor to fight fires, the practice is controversial as the inmates are paid little for dangerous and difficult work. Inmates are paid up to roughly $10.24 each day, with additional money for 24-hour shifts, according to the corrections department.Overflowing kindness-Volunteers overflowed donation centers and some had to be turned away at locations including the Santa Anita Park horse racing track, where people who lost their homes sifted through stacks of donated shirts, blankets and other household goods.Altadena resident Jose Luis Godinez said three homes occupied by more than a dozen of his family members were destroyed.“Everything is gone,” he said, speaking in Spanish. “All my family lived in those three houses and now we have nothing.”Rebuilding will be a challenge-The level of devastation is jarring even in a state that regularly confronts massive wildfires. Traum of the state Office of Emergency Services said those impacted by the fires can apply online for immediate government assistance.Newsom issued an executive order Sunday aimed at fast-tracking the rebuilding of destroyed property by suspending some environmental regulations and ensuring that property tax assessments are not increased.“California leads the nation in environmental stewardship. I’m not going to give that up. But one thing I won’t give into is delay,” he said. “Delay is denial for people: lives, traditions, places torn apart, torn asunder.”“We’ve got to let people know that we have their back,” he said. “Don’t walk away because we want you to come back, rebuild, and rebuild with higher quality building standards, more modern standards. We want to make sure that the associated costs with that are not disproportionate, especially in a middle-class community like this.”Leadership accused of skimping-LA Mayor Karen Bass faces a critical test of her leadership during the city’s greatest crisis in decades, but allegations of leadership failures, political blame and investigations have begun.Newsom on Friday ordered state officials to determine why a 117 million-gallon (440 million-liter) reservoir was out of service and some hydrants had run dry.Crowley, the LA fire chief, said city leadership failed her department by not providing enough money for firefighting. She also criticized the lack of water.“When a firefighter comes up to a hydrant, we expect there’s going to be water,” Crowley said.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

Inside story-Israel, PA ink deal to release $500 million in withheld Palestinian tax revenues-Funds will be used to pay off debt to Israel Electric Corporation; both sides declare victory after agreeing to mechanism that US hopes can be used for release of additional money By Jacob Magid-Today, 12:54 am-JAN 12,25
Israel and the Palestinian Authority announced Sunday that they had struck a deal allowing for the release of roughly $500 million in Palestinian tax revenues for use in electricity and fuel payments to Israel.Both sides framed the agreement as a victory after months of negotiations, which US President Joe Biden’s administration helped mediate, according to a senior Western diplomat familiar with the matter, who said the goal was to use the deal as a framework for the release of additional funds that Israel has been withholding from the PA.Under interim peace accords reached in the 1990s, Israel’s Finance Ministry collects tax revenues on behalf of the PA and makes monthly transfers to Ramallah, but a dispute broke out over the payments in the wake of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught.The Israeli cabinet refused to transfer the portion of the funds that Ramallah uses to pay for services and employees in Gaza, arguing that the money could reach the Hamas terror group. The roughly $75 million in revenues amounts to about a quarter of the entire monthly transfer.Protesting the move, the PA refused to accept any of the tax revenues, which make up the vast majority of the PA’s annual budget. Unable to pay its employees in full for months, the move has risked Ramallah’s complete financial collapse.In January 2024, the cabinet approved a framework under which the Gaza portion of the funds would be transferred to Norway, which would then be required to hold onto the funds until Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich signed off on their release to the PA.That mechanism worked for several months, and Smotrich signed off on the release of some of those funds from Norway to the PA.But then in May, Norway joined Spain and Ireland in formally recognizing a Palestinian state, infuriating Jerusalem. Smotrich in response announced the end of the agreement involving Norway.Oslo still had roughly $420 million in Palestinian tax revenues in its possession, but the Israeli Finance Ministry warned that if those funds were transferred to the PA, Israel would dock that money from subsequent monthly tax revenue transfers.With the PA’s financial state particularly bleak in the year since Hamas’s October 7 massacre, significant efforts were made by the US to secure the release of those funds. Washington sought to recruit Morocco to replace Norway, but this idea was eventually shelved in favor of the current formula that has removed the middle-man, the Western diplomat said.More recently, Israel proposed allowing the release of the funds if they were used to pay off the massive amounts of debt that the PA owes to Israeli electric and fuel companies that have accumulated over time due to various Palestinian municipalities’ failure to make their payments.Ramallah initially chafed at the idea, wanting more autonomy over how to spend the funds. Ultimately, though, it caved after Israel made clear it would not accept the release of the money held up in Norway under any other circumstances, the diplomat said.Sweetening the deal for the PA, though, is the fact that the payment of the debt to the Israeli fuel and electricity companies improves Ramallah’s standing with Palestinian banks who now see that it is capable of paying off such debts when adjudicating future loan requests.The released funds, which have accumulated interest over time, will go toward paying off fuel and electricity debt in addition to covering such payments in the months ahead, the Israeli and PA finance ministries said in their respective announcements. Smotrich’s office said the deal resulted in the payoff of $544 million in debt to Israel. He updated the cabinet of the deal on Sunday.“The PA’s debt to the [Israel Electric Corportation] resulted in high loans and interest rates, as well as damage to IEC’s credit, which was ultimately rolled over to the citizens of Israel,” Smotrich told the cabinet, according to the statement from his office.The agreement doesn’t release the Gaza portion of Palestinian tax revenues that Israel has continued to withhold since the Norwegian agreement fell apart. However, the Western diplomat said the goal is to use the new framework so that those funds can be used for electricity and fuel payments in the future.Smotrich has been opposed to sending funds to the PA, which uses the money to pay public sector wages. The withheld funds forced the PA to drastically cut public sector wages for months.Israel also deducts funds equal to the total amount of so-called martyr payments, which the PA pays to families of Palestinian terrorists or the families of slain attackers.The PA finance ministry said $570 million remains withheld by Israel, bringing the total withheld funds to over $980 million as of 2024.“This has exacerbated the financial crisis, as the government continues to transfer these allocations directly to the accounts of public servants in Gaza,” the ministry said, adding that it was working with international partners to secure the release of these funds as soon as possible.Reuters contributed to this report.

THE CRAZY WORLD IS STILL TRYING TO POKE GOD IN THE EYE WITH THIS USELESS WASTE OF TIME ISRAEL HATE CEASEFIRE.he continued.“When the locals realized that the elephant population was dwindling, they gradually shifted their focus to fallow deer. Identifying the deer’s plentiful source, they began to develop the unique scrapers in the same place. This is the earliest instance of a phenomenon that later spread throughout the world,” Litov said.The Mount Gerizim location, near Nablus, is especially important because numerous fallow deer bones were found there at an ancient altar site. As Gerizim is associated with the Israelite’s entry into the Land of Israel and is considered a sacred site by the local Samaritan community, “apparently, the Mountains of Samaria gained a prominent, or even sacred status as early as the Paleolithic period, and retained their unique cultural position for hundreds of thousands of years,” the researchers said.
An Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) event could have significant and far-reaching impacts on a large city like New York, depending on the scale of the EMP and the resilience of the infrastructure. Here’s a breakdown of the potential effects:
Immediate Effects
Electrical Grid Failure:
- An EMP could disrupt or damage the electrical grid, leading to widespread power outages. This would affect homes, businesses, and critical services.
Communication Disruption:
- Cell phones, radios, and other communication devices could become non-functional, complicating emergency responses and personal communications.
Transportation Systems:
- Public transportation systems, including subways and buses, rely on electronic systems. An EMP could halt these services, leading to chaos and difficulties in evacuating or moving people.
Emergency Services:
- Police, fire, and medical services depend on electronic systems for coordination and operation. An EMP could severely hinder their ability to respond to emergencies.
Secondary Effects
Water and Sewage Systems:
- Water treatment and distribution systems are often electronically controlled. An outage could lead to water shortages or contamination, along with sewage backup issues.
Food Supply Chain:
- Disruption in transportation and logistics due to an EMP could impact food delivery and storage, leading to shortages and potential panic buying.
Economic Impact:
- The economic fallout would be substantial, affecting businesses, financial markets, and the overall economy, potentially leading to long-term unemployment and instability.
Recovery Challenges
Infrastructure Resilience:
- The speed of recovery would depend on the resilience of the city’s infrastructure and the availability of backup systems. Cities with robust emergency plans might recover faster.
Public Panic:
- The psychological impact on the population could lead to panic, looting, and social unrest, complicating recovery efforts.
Long-term Implications:
- Depending on the severity of the EMP, some electronic systems might require extensive repairs or replacements, resulting in prolonged outages.
Conclusion
In summary, an EMP event could have catastrophic effects on a large city like New York, disrupting essential services, communication, and infrastructure. The severity of the impact would depend on the EMP's strength, the city's preparedness, and the resilience of its critical systems. Preparation and mitigation strategies, including hardening infrastructure against EMP effects, could significantly reduce the potential devastation.

Vance explains Trump's 'all hell to pay' threat to Hamas-Biden stresses ‘immediate need’ for hostage-truce deal in call with Netanyahu-PM said to meet with far-right coalition members to gauge support for agreement; negotiators reportedly believe next two days critical to determine if deal is achievable By Jacob Magid and ToI Staff 12 January 2025, 11:00 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden discussed the progress that has been made in hostage-ceasefire deal negotiations in Qatar during a phone conversation Sunday, as Washington continued to project cautious optimism about the outcome of the talks.The call came after Netanyahu dispatched a team of senior negotiators — including Mossad chief David Barnea, Shin Bet director Ronen Bar, IDF hostage point man Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon, and Netanyahu’s political adviser Ophir Falk — to Doha on Saturday night, in a sign that talks were nearing their climax.At the same time, the premier was reported to be assessing the mindset of his far-right coalition allies — who have previously threatened to bolt the government over a deal — in order to determine the response that a deal with Hamas would garner, should one be reached, in what appeared to be an indicator of the serious trajectory of the negotiations.During his call with Netanyahu, Biden “stressed the immediate need” for a ceasefire and hostage release deal, the White House said in a readout of the call.The two also discussed “the fundamentally changed regional circumstances following the ceasefire deal in Lebanon, the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, and the weakening of Iran’s power in the region,” the US readout noted.Netanyahu, for his part, thanked Biden for his “lifelong support of Israel and for the extraordinary support from the United States for Israel’s security and national defense,” the US readout added. The summary from Netanyahu’s office noted that the prime minister also thanked US President-elect Donald Trump for his own efforts in advancing the “sacred mission” of releasing the hostages.The negotiations underway in Qatar are based on an Israeli hostage deal proposal from May of last year, which envisioned a phased release of the hostages, the White House said in a readout of Biden’s call with Netanyahu.The ceasefire that US, Qatari, and Egyptian mediators are trying to advance is indeed still within the three-staged framework, Arab diplomats familiar with the talks have told the Times of Israel, but Jerusalem has been much more open this time around about the second and third phases not coming immediately after the first phase is complete.Hamas, therefore, is demanding assurances from mediators that there will be some connection between the first phase and the subsequent ones, as it seeks a permanent ceasefire. The issue remains a point of significant contention in the talks, the diplomats have said.While the exact details of the deal’s outline have yet to be publicly confirmed, a Palestinian prisoner advocacy group asserted on Sunday that the first stage would entail the release of 25 Israeli hostages in exchange for 48 Palestinian security prisoners who were freed in the Shalit deal in 2011 and incarcerated again since, along with 200 prisoners serving life sentences, and another 1,000 detainees including women, children and wounded prisoners.In a rare interview with Ramallah’s Maan news agency, Prisoners Club director Qadura Fares added that all of the Palestinian prisoners would be allowed to return to their homes in East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, except those serving life sentences, who would most likely be deported to either Qatar, Egypt or Turkey.The former PA minister noted that the exception would be necessary for the protection of the Palestinian prisoners against Israeli assassination attempts.The Prisoners Club is a Palestinian organization that advocates on behalf of Palestinians in Israeli jails. While the organization used to be financially supported by the Palestinian Authority, Ramallah has reportedly ceased funding the body for at least five years.Fares was also quoted by Maan as saying that Israel has been pushing for nine more hostages to be released in the first phase, including wounded IDF soldiers, in exchange for a yet-to-be-negotiated number of Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences.Critical days ahead-While disagreements between the warring parties remain, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on Sunday evening that significant progress has been made, and that both Israel and Hamas have indicated that they are willing to be flexible in ways they were not during previous rounds of negotiations.Specifically, the report said that Israel was willing to compromise on matters pertaining to the so-called Philadelphi Corridor and the positioning of Israeli troops along it; Netanyahu had previously said that Israel insists on the IDF maintaining control of the corridor, which runs the length of the Gaza-Egypt border, for the foreseeable future.A senior Hamas source told the Qatari al-Araby al-Jadeed outlet on Saturday that Israel would not fully withdraw from the route until the last day of the agreement’s final phase, but would instead gradually reduce its presence during the earlier two stages of the deal.Channel 12 also cited senior Israeli officials as saying that the next two days in Doha will be critical in understanding whether an agreement is possible.“It’s possible to reach a final agreement,” the channel quoted the high-level Israeli delegation as having said. “The conditions for closing [a deal] are optimal.”The Kan public broadcaster similarly reported on Sunday evening that Israeli negotiators were optimistic about the outcome of the current discussions, and believe that there will be a breakthrough in the coming days.Citing a source familiar with negotiations, the report added that talks in recent days have been “productive.”The reports came after Hamas sources claimed on Saturday that a deal had been reached and was awaiting Netanyahu’s final approval.Giving voice to the cautious optimism with which the US has also regarded the current round of negotiations, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN on Sunday that the negotiating parties were “very, very close, and yet far because we are not there.”“It is possible to get it done before January 20, but I can’t be sure,” he added, largely echoing sentiments expressed by Biden and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken last week.Trump, who enters the White House on January 20, has warned that there will be “all hell to pay” if a hostage deal has not been settled before he begins his second term, although he has refused to elaborate on what that would entail.His threat was reiterated on Sunday by incoming national security adviser Mike Waltz, who warned Hamas that the terms for a hostage deal would only get worse if it waits until Trump enters office.“Let’s allow our hostages to be set free. I want to see them walking across the tarmac, or at a minimum, some type of agreement before inauguration because President Trump is serious,” Waltz told ABC’s “This Week.”“Any deal will only get worse for Hamas, and there will be all hell to pay in the Middle East if we continue to have this kind of hostage diplomacy,” he added.Vance: What ‘all hell’ means-Meanwhile, US Vice President-elect JD Vance appeared to reveal the practical implication of Trump’s threat that “all hell will break loose.”“It means enabling the Israelis to knock out the final couple of battalions of Hamas and their leadership. It means very aggressive sanctions and financial penalties on those who are supporting terrorist organizations in the Middle East. It means actually doing the job of American leadership,” Vance told ‘FOX News Sunday.’The IDF has said that it has yet to dismantle the final two of Hamas’s 24 battalions in Gaza, but that was because they are believed to be holding many of the remaining 98 hostages in central Gaza. Accordingly, the IDF has avoided operating there en masse, so as not to risk the lives of the hostages, given that a number of them have been accidentally killed in IDF operations or were executed by their Hamas captors when they feared Israeli troops were approaching.Vance did not elaborate on the financial sanctions that the incoming Trump administration has planned against Hamas, but the Biden administration has already levied a host of sanctions against the terror group and has issued arrest warrants for several of its leaders.The incoming vice president asserted that Trump’s threat of “all hell to pay” in the Mideast if the hostages are not released is what sparked recent progress in the ongoing hostage talks.“We’re hopeful there’s going to be a deal that struck toward the very end of Biden’s administration — maybe the last day or two,” Vance says. “But regardless of when that deal is struck, it will be because people are terrified that there are going to be consequences for Hamas.”Far-right lawmakers kept in the loop-At the same time as the US tries to ramp up pressure on the Gaza terror group, Hebrew media reported that Netanyahu met on Sunday with both far-right coalition party leaders Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to gauge their response to the developments in Doha.Both Smotrich, who leads the Religious Zionism party, and Otzma Yehudit leader Ben Gvir have been outspoken about their opposition to the terms of previous failed hostage deal outlines and have repeatedly threatened to bolt the coalition should a deal come to fruition.An unnamed political source told the Walla news outlet that the purpose of Netanyahu’s meeting with Smotrich was to assess whether he would resign from the government if Israel agreed to a deal requiring it to release hundreds of Palestinian terror convicts in exchange for the hostages.While Netanyahu did also meet with Ben Gvir, the source told Walla that the premier believes there to be a high chance the Otzma Yehudit leader will resign if there’s a deal, and so is hoping to convince Smotrich to, at most, vote against the agreement without quitting the coalition.According to Kan, however, both Smotrich and Ben Gvir gave their word that they would not cause the government’s dissolution by resigning in the event of a deal.The report added that Netanyahu warned the pair that by objecting to a deal, they would be starting off on the wrong foot with the Trump administration.Nevertheless, Settlements and National Projects Minister Orit Strock, of Religious Zionism, came out against a potential deal, calling it a “reward for terrorism and a victory for Hamas.”She later acknowledged that she was not privy to the details of the slowly emerging agreement.In an interview with the Haredi radio station Kol Berama on Sunday morning, Strock asserted that the deal, should it transpire, would lead to the hard-won victories of the war against Hamas in Gaza “going down the drain.”“Many Israeli soldiers will pay with their lives for withdrawing from Gaza,” she said, “and hundreds of murderous terrorists will pour in like a barrel of gasoline and ignite terror in Judea and Samaria and across the entire world.”In a now-familiar threat issued by the Religious Zionism party whenever hostage-ceasefire talks appear to be getting close to an agreement, Strock warned Netanyahu against crossing any “red lines.”Despite her insistence that the deal would only cause more harm, Strock revealed hours later that she did not actually know the current terms.Doubling down on her stance in a column for Israel National News, the far-right minister wrote that while she “very much wants to see the hostages released” she believes that “the price of the deal must be discussed.”“I don’t yet know the details of the deal that is being formulated, and I would be very happy if it were one that I could support,” she wrote. “If only!”At the same time, and contrary to the positions expressed by the incoming US administration, Strock suggested that Trump would put a stop to the negotiating process when he enters the White House later this month.Trump won’t want to be associated with “a victory for the axis of evil over the free world, and won’t support a deal that gives out prizes for murderous terrorism,” she asserted to Kol Berama.Trump’s special envoy to the region Steve Witkoff told Netanyahu on Saturday, however, that Trump expects a deal to be in place by his inauguration, and was said to stress that both sides must show flexibility to get an agreement across the finish line.It is believed that 94 of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 34 confirmed dead by the IDF.Hamas released 105 civilians during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were released before that. Eight hostages have been rescued by troops alive, and the bodies of 40 hostages have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the Israeli military as they tried to escape their captors.Hamas is also holding two Israeli civilians who entered the Strip in 2014 and 2015, as well as the bodies of two IDF soldiers who were killed in 2014
