Glad that the Canadian government asked to be at Egypt today. The U.S.-led plan is the best path forward to actual changes on the ground in the Middle East — not more symbolic gestures.

Today’s must-read: “As Hamas gunmen try to reassert control on the streets of Gaza City & Khan Younis, there needs to be a recognition… that Canada got it wrong — that Hamas will never lay down its arms; that the PA will never reform or negotiate, unless there is no alternative”

📌 Tel Aviv, Israel 16:12, October 14, 2025

There’s been a lot written lately but this latest The Hub op-ed by Stephen Staley sums up the contrasting approaches between 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸: “They acted as though outcomes mattered more than optics. Our current foreign policy class behaves as if the performance is the policy.”

Tel Aviv tonight. Into my veins.

A one‑of‑a‑kind full circle moment: the Sharabi brothers, who saved dozens of partygoers at Nova behind a tank on October 7, are finally reunited with their friend Yosef Haim Ohana, who was kidnapped from right next to them.

A must-read from Bret Stephens on Hamas's miscalculation and why Israel won the war: We’ll probably never know whether Sinwar, who was killed by Israeli troops a year ago this week, ever came to grips with the scale of his misjudgment. Israelis did not crumble in the face of his

👏👏👏 Glad to see the Canadian government so loudly and clearly throw its full support behind the U.S.-led peace initiative. This is an important shift toward more practical measures that lead to peace and less symbolic gestures that embolden Hamas terrorism.

“They see nothing and say nothing as the terrorists they effectively supported show their true nature by killing their own people. Their silence is as gross as their hypocrisy.” Thank you Joe Warmington for shining a light on what few Canadian journalists have reported.

Maximal pressure must be sustained on Hamas by Qatar & Turkey to proceed to phase 2 of Trump's plan that requires the terror group to disarm & allow for Gaza to be ruled independently. If Gaza's recovery/rejuvenation fails, so will the West Bank & any hope of a Palestinian State.

Economist @TrevorTombe has another timely piece in The Hub : “While showcasing the capital already flowing south… seems wise, there’s much we can and should do in the meantime to make Canada a more attractive place to invest once again.” thehub.ca/2025/10/15/tre…
