  • The Tunnel Trap: Inside Hamas’s Underground Collapse

    The Tunnel Trap: Inside Hamas’s Underground Collapse
    Dec 2 2025
    As the ceasefire crumbles, Gaza’s war moves underground...literally. Hamas terrorists are trapped in their own tunnel networks, abandoned by leadership and starving beneath the rubble. But surrender is not an option in the world of jihad. Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh expose the stunning reversals of fortune, the regional power plays from Qatar and Turkey and how Hamas is losing its grip both in the tunnels and on the streets of Gaza. Is this the beginning of Hamas’s collapse or the ignition point of a Palestinian civil war?

  • Stage Two Jihad: How Hamas Is Outsmarting the West Again

    Stage Two Jihad: How Hamas Is Outsmarting the West Again
    Nov 16 2025
    Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh expose Hamas’s strategic manipulation of the Trump ceasefire plan. While appearing to comply with phase one, Hamas is stalling, refusing to release hostages and exploiting negotiations to regroup, rearm and reassert control over Gaza. The conversation reveals Hamas's true intent: to maintain power, avoid disarmament and ultimately destroy Israel using diplomatic deception and international legitimacy. This is not peace, it’s what they call “Stage Two Jihad.”

  • Is the UN Shielding Hamas? The Gaza Plan Backfiring

    Is the UN Shielding Hamas? The Gaza Plan Backfiring
    Nov 4 2025
    Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh argue that the UN-driven, internationally managed “Trump 20-point plan” is constraining Israel while Hamas exploits the ceasefire to rearm, regroup and entrench control in Gaza. They warn that vague terms like “demilitarization” and “decommissioning” (without explicit disarmament) enable loopholes, drawing lessons from Hezbollah in Lebanon. They caution against rebranding Hamas through new “security forces,” urge clan-based regime change backed by the West, oppose granting safe passage to wanted militants, and connect Western political trends, like New York’s mayoral race, to a wider jihadist information war. The episode closes with a call to replace Hamas entirely and build genuine Arab-Jewish bridges through clear-eyed policy, not wishful thinking.
