Israel was created over 77 years ago as a result of the United States and their Allies’ victory over the Axis enemy.

The Israeli State was created as a negotiated settlement, a guarantee of a Jewish homeland protected from former extermination.

Israel was guaranteed secure safe borders, North, South, East and West.

Since its creation, Israel has had to combat local wars on its multiple borders. The attack on Oct. 7 was a heinous crime against humanity.

Israel swore this time to secure its borders in the South by entering Gaza and routing out Hamas, its army, weaponry and leadership.

To this end, many have suffered. 130 plus Israeli hostages still remain in the hands of Hamas. Hamas soldiers and leaders have not been removed as a requirement for peace. Palestinian people have suffered gravely.

My solution for ceasefire and peace is to return the 130+hostages and to guarantee the safe transportation of Hamas soldiers and their leaders to a place beyond the borders of Israel to never again inflict the savage raping, and decapitations of over 2000 Israelis.

If Hamas is really concerned about the Palestinian people suffering further, they will recognize Israel’s right to secure borders and agree to leave to resettle far beyond the borders of Israel.

That is my suggestion to bring about a peaceful ceasefire and to once again achieve a secure border for Israel.

Have you ever considered that Biden is the best President that Israel has had, while his possible opponent might just turn his back on secured borders for Israel for some economic reward for his own benefit?
