Former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley's portrait has been removed from the Pentagon hallway where it was hanging as late as 12:46 pm today, when the earlier photo was taken. The portrait was just unveiled Jan. 12. It is not clear where the portrait was removed to.









Israel has capitulated on several factors, allowing for a deal to be reached: * Isreal has agreed to withdraw FULLY from Gaza leaving no troops or security zone. That includes a full withdrawal from the Philadelphi corridor. * It has agreed to allow Hamas to rule Gaza. That is not in the agreement, but there is also no mechanism to remove Hamas. * Israel has agreed not to exile released prisoners but rather let them into Gaza again. * Israel has waived its demand for a list of live hostages. * It has agreed to allow residents to return to northern Gaza with only symbolic security measures. * Israel agreed to accept dead bodies in the first stage. All of these were red lines for Israel at one point. It is remarkable that all of them are being waived. The victory for Hamas is remarkable. The reason this happened is clear. Despite incredible victories on the battlefield, Israel has not offered a political program to replace Hamas or moved to remove them from Gaza as a governing force. It has failed to translate IDF gains into political ones. That has, in essence, nullified all of its military achievements.
