As Trump’s bawdy birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein appears, he still insists he never sent it
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
It really shouldn’t be that big a deal.
Donald Trump was one of many friends solicited to send messages to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday. There’s a far more cautious one from Bill Clinton, too.
If the president had merely said «yeah, I sent it, we were joking back and forth, nothing to see here» – this was in 2003, before the child predator was charged with sexual abuse – nobody would have blinked. The birthday book was assembled by his then-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
INSIDE EPSTEIN’S INFAMOUS ‘BIRTHDAY BOOK’: CLINTON’S NOTE, POOLSIDE CANDIDS AND BIZARRE ANIMAL PICS
Instead, he filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal for supposedly publishing inaccuracies in its report on the Trump birthday message.
The Journal has now been vindicated.
Trump flatly denied having sent a birthday message at all. He can’t draw, he would never do such a thing, it was inconceivable.
Now it looks a lot more conceivable.
As the Journal was the first to report, there is a friendly back-and-forth against the backdrop of a sketch of a naked woman’s silhouette. Trump’s signature is in the pubic area, and the paper says it matches other acknowledged «Donald» signatures – along with his use of such phrases as «a wonderful thing.»

There is this exchange:
Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: Yes we do, come to think of it.
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.
Donald: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.
That’s it, given more punch by Trump’s denial that he never sent such a thing.
BILL CLINTON LETTER IN EPSTEIN ‘BIRTHDAY BOOK’ AMONG NEW FILES RELEASED BY HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
In fact, after the publication of the texts and the naked silhouette – which I’m sure you’ve seen as it’s been all over television – Trump continues to deny that the letter and sketch are his.
They’re sure doing a good job of moving on from the Epstein mess, huh?
Reached on his cell yesterday by NBC reporter Garrett Haake, Trump said: «I don’t comment on something that’s a dead issue. I gave all comments to the staff. It’s a dead issue.»
That sounds like wishful thinking. The only «dead» part is Jeffrey Epstein.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt backed up the boss in a posting:
«The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire ‘Birthday Card’ story is false. As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it. President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation.
«Furthermore, the ‘reporter’ @joe_palazzolo who wrote this hatchet job reached out for comment at the EXACT same minute he published his story giving us no time to respond. This is FAKE NEWS to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein Hoax!» But it’s hardly a hoax to Epstein’s victims, who spoke out the other day – one voted for Trump – about how being lured into having sex while young as 14 ruined their lives.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN SAGA CONTINUES AS CONGRESS RETURNS FROM RECESS
The New York Times has a sobering report on other birthday messages to Epstein.
Venture capitalist William Elkus recalled Epstein conjuring a beautiful woman out of thin air during a visit to a farm town in Iowa, where it was hard to «tell the difference between the girls and the hogs.» Elkus marveled at Epstein’s being able to find a «spectacular tall blonde» whom he later invited back with him to New York, concluding he had relied on «some long distance escort service.»
Elkus told the Times that it was a joke and that he was referring to Epstein’s «charisma, which was palpable.»
A person named Leslie wrote, «I wanted to get you what you want,» so «here it is» – a drawing of breasts. Another writer sent photos of zebras, and lions, getting it on.
A person named Nick described a night in London that left Epstein «howling with laughter.» Nick said an «old man smiling sweetly» pulled down a woman’s panties and put his hand on her privates, only to find another man’s hand already there.
Some women, including assistants and girlfriends – the names are redacted – may have been Epstein’s victims.
One woman wrote: «With you, dear Jeffrey, I laugh like a little girl and feel like a woman.» There’s a hand-drawn heart, a brief message and a photo of a woman’s butt in a thong bikini.
EPSTEIN ESTATE HANDS OVER ‘BIRTHDAY BOOK,’ CONTACT LIST TO HOUSE INVESTIGATORS
There’s a cartoon of Epstein in a beach chair getting «what appears to be a nude massage from four topless women.» Appears? That’s exactly what it is.
There were messages from Nathan Myhrvold, former chief technology officer for Microsoft; retail billionaire Leslie Wexner; billionaire investor Leon Black; Epstein’s onetime attorney Alan Dershowitz; and Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling scout who died in 2022 by suicide in a French jail cell after being charged with raping teenage girls.
The Washington Post has more, saying «attention to Trump’s relationship with Epstein is not going away anytime soon, and the political headaches for the president are likely to linger.»

In a partially redacted photo, Epstein is holding an oversized check made out to him for $22,500 with DJTRUMP on the signature line. The handwritten caption: «Sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.»
Trump allies have decided to make their stand on the signature question, adding to the murkiness.
«Is this really the best they could do?» wrote MAGA influencer Benny Johnson. «Trump has the most famous signature in the world. Time to sue them into the oblivion.»

In a drawing, labeled «1983,» a male figure is pictured handing balloons to young girls in pigtails. That was next to «2003,» where he’s drawn getting massages from topless blonde women with the caption «what a great country!»
Look, there’s no other way to say it: This has the whiff of a cover-up.
I mean, are people buying the president’s insistence that he never sent the birthday message that they’ve seen with their own eyes?
Trump boxed himself by insisting, even now, that he’d never sent such a message. That’s the heart of the political problem.

The president may pronounce the story dead, but for the rest of the world – including MAGA supporters who have been obsessed with this case – it’s very much alive.

A massive joint air campaign by the United States and Israel is dismantling Iran’s missile network in what officials and analysts describe as one of the most coordinated allied operations in modern warfare.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the campaign is rapidly establishing dominance over Iranian skies.
«Starting last night and to be completed in a few days … the two most powerful air forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies,» Hegseth said Wednesday. «Uncontested airspace.»
«We will fly all day, all night … flying over Tehran, flying over Iran, flying over their capital… Iranian leaders are looking up and seeing only U.S. and Israeli air power every minute of every day until we decide it’s over.»

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Tuesday that «the cooperation between us and the American military is amazing. We have mutual planning and mutual executing for the plans in Iran and beyond.»
John Spencer, executive director of the Urban Warfare Institute, told Fox News Digital Israel effectively matched the U.S. military’s opening airpower surge.
«Israel matched the United States in the number of aircraft in the air,» Spencer said. «For Israel, that represents roughly 80% of its air force capability.»
He added that the level of coordination between Washington and Jerusalem represents a new model for allied warfare.
«This isn’t separate work,» Spencer said. «This is combined work. Integrated, synchronized operations combining powers.»
«In the past we’ve had coalitions of dozens of countries,» Spencer said. «But having a partner that is both willing and capable of bringing immense capabilities like this is very rare.»
Largest Israeli air operation in history
The Israeli campaign, known as Operation Roaring Lion, began with roughly 200 fighter jets launching the largest coordinated air operation in the history of the Israeli Air Force.
Within the first 24 hours of the campaign, Israeli fighter jets already had opened a corridor allowing sustained operations over Tehran, according to the Israeli military.
Israeli aircraft struck missile launch sites and air defense systems across western and central Iran in an opening wave targeting hundreds of sites simultaneously using intelligence gathered by Israel’s Intelligence Directorate and the CIA.
In the joint operation, Israeli aircraft dropped hundreds of munitions on approximately 500 targets, including missile launchers, command centers and air defense batteries.
The opening strike achieved a level of surprise rarely seen in modern warfare, according to Israeli intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder.
«In 40 seconds, we eliminated more than 40 of the most important people in Iran,» Binder said, referring to senior regime and military officials, including Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. «We are sending a clear message to our enemies — there is no place where we will not find them.»

Spencer said the strategy behind the opening strike represents a dramatic shift in modern warfare.
«What Israel did in this opening campaign just wasn’t imaginable in the history of war. It never happened,» he said. «To start off by cutting off the brain… usually you target the military first. Here they targeted the political and military leadership and had the ability to wipe them out in a matter of hours.»
Spencer, a veteran of the 2003 Iraq War, said the operation reflects advances in intelligence and strike capabilities.
«I was part of the invasion in 2003,» he said. «Something like this was unthinkable even 20 years ago.»
Massive strike campaign
An IDF spokesperson announced Wednesday what he described as a historic milestone: an Israeli Air Force F-35 fighter jet shot down an Iranian aircraft, marking the first time anywhere in the world that an F-35 has downed a manned aircraft and the first time in 40 years that an Israeli aircraft has shot down an enemy aircraft in combat.
Since the start of the operation, Israeli aircraft have carried out more than 1,600 sorties and deployed more than 5,000 munitions, according to figures released Wednesday.
The strikes have destroyed roughly 300 missile launchers and targeted more than 600 Iranian military infrastructure sites, according to the IDF.

Destroying Iran’s missile threat
Israeli intelligence assessments before the operation indicated Iran was accelerating its ballistic missile production with plans to reach 8,000 missiles by 2027. At the start of the campaign, Israel estimated Iran possessed roughly 3,000 missiles.
The strikes already have prevented the production of at least 1,500 ballistic missiles while destroying hundreds already in Iran’s arsenal, according to the IDF.
Israeli officials say the missile program represented a direct threat not only to Israel but also to American forces and allies in the region.
«The possession of missiles by a regime that openly declares its intent to destroy the State of Israel constitutes an existential threat,» the IDF said.

Casualties
Six U.S. service members have been killed, and several others injured, during Operation Epic Fury.
In Israel, 13 civilians had been killed as of Wednesday night and more than 1,000 injured in Iranian missile and drone attacks launched in response to the operation, according to Israeli emergency services. The United Arab Emirates has reported three deaths and 68 injuries since the war started
Precise casualty figures in Iran remain difficult to verify. Media reports say dozens of senior Iranian commanders were killed in the opening phase of the campaign, along with additional military personnel and civilians following strikes on military facilities and infrastructure.

Fighting on multiple fronts
As the conflict expands beyond Iran, Israeli forces have struck more than 160 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in recent days. To sustain the multifront campaign, Israel has mobilized approximately 110,000 reservists.
«Wars are contests of will,» Spencer said. «Iran’s strategy is to break the will of the United States and Israel to continue the operation. The question is whether they can endure the pressure long enough to make that happen.»

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem forcefully defended her department’s immigration enforcement policies Wednesday before Democratic lawmakers — part of a heated and contentious House Oversight Committee hearing that, at times, grew deeply personal.
The hearing is the second in back-to-back DHS oversight hearings centered on the agency’s actions on immigration enforcement and Noem’s leadership of the department, and comes as members of Congress remain deadlocked on how to proceed with fully funding the sprawling federal agency.
Here are the top moments from the action-packed hearing.
Dems home in on Lewandowski, ‘blankies,’ and luxury jets
Some Democrats on the panel zeroed in on the responsibilities Corey Lewandowski has assumed as a special adviser for the Department of Homeland Security. Rep. Sydney Kalmager-Dove, D-Calif., cited a Wall Street Journal report from last month, that said Trump allegedly rejected Lewandowski’s request to be Noem’s chief of staff «due to reports of a romantic relationship» between the two.
Both Noem and Lewandowski have denied reports of an affair.
Kalmager-Dove asked Noem, point-blank, about the nature of their relationship. «This person has no experience running anything close to the Department of Homeland Security, or even advising someone in your position,» Kalmager-Dove said, noting his role as a special government employee has extended a «well beyond the allowed 130-day» period.

«He is unqualified, which has left my constituents and I wondering why he is your top official,» she added.
«So, Secretary Noem, at any time during your tenure as Director of Department of Homeland Security, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?»
Noem turned to address House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan briefly before responding. «Mr. Chairman, I am shocked that we’re going down and peddling tabloid garbage in this committee today,» she said.
To Kalmager-Dove, she said: «Ma’am, one thing that I would tell you is that he is a special government employee who works for the White House. There are thousands of them in the federal government.»

Raskin says Noem is ‘flying too close to the sun’
The panel’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., pressed Noem for details about Lewandowski’s role at DHS, though in the context of the question of DHS’s use of so-called «luxury jets.» Noem had defended use of the jets one day prior during Senate testimony, noting they were used for both executive travel and mass deportations.
Raskin said Wednesday that he had nearly been prepared to buy that story. «And then I heard about an airborne episode of entitlement, arrogance and contempt that I could hardly believe.»
«Apparently, when your special blanket — your blankie — was left on one of the government jets and not transported over the new one, your special government employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrous, stepped forward to fire the pilot, mid-air,» Raskin said.
«A 2003 Coast Guard Academy graduate and distinguished U.S. Coast Guard commanded … [who then] had to be rehired immediately because there was no one else who could fly the two of you on the rest of the journey back home,» Raskin said. «Secretary Noem, you’re flying high now, maybe even a little bit too close to the sun.»
The exchanges were markedly tense, largely due to the presence of Noem’s husband, who was sitting in the gallery for the duration of the hearing.

Swalwell, Noem showdown
Later in the hearing, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., confronted Noem about the case of Miguel Lopez, a migrant who had been living illegally in the U.S. for some 30 years prior to his deportation last year. Lopez is married to a U.S. resident. «I went and saw Miguel in Mexico,» Swalwell told Noem. «He doesn’t have a job … and it’s hard for him to communicate» after being away from his home country for roughly three decades.
Noemi interjected: «Did he have a criminal record?»
Swalwell acknowledged that Lopez had pleaded guilty to a «lesser nonviolent charge» in 1995, but asked Noem to recognize «the pain» caused by the administration’s broader deportation policy.
«The pain?» Noem responded. «And I wish people would do things correctly. If they’re not in legal status in this country, they can return home. We will pay for them to return home.»
As for Miguel, she said, «I hope he got the $2,600 he could have» by choosing to self-deport.

‘Worst of the Worst’
The sharpest exchange came when Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., pressed Noem on the Trump administration’s repeated pledge to target «the worst of the worst» offenders in its removal efforts.
«Tell me about the worst of the worst,» Cohen said.
Noem fired back: «The worst of the worst served. I think you’ve offended the families behind me today with that.»

Cohen responded that he did not intend to offend anyone and said it was wrong for Noem to suggest he had. But Noem doubled down, arguing that critics were downplaying the consequences of illegal immigration.
«I was commenting on the fact that the individuals aren’t violent offenders, and you keep talking about the fact that these individuals that are in this country illegally don’t harm families,» she said.
Cohen noted that undocumented immigrants are statistically «less likely» than people born in the U.S. to commit crimes.
Noem then gestured to family members seated behind her, invoking stories of children lost to fentanyl overdoses and fatal car crashes involving undocumented drivers.
«The vast majority of these people behind me lost their children due to drugs, overdoses from drugs that came over the southern border,» Noem said. «They died from their kids being hit, accidents on the roads that illegal drivers were driving.»

Cohen acknowledged the tragedies but argued they did not address his broader point. «All that’s true and given it’s true,» he said. «But you say you’re only going after the worst of the worst, and you’re not.»

EN VIVO: Soldados de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel se movilizan por el sur de Líbano para exponer la infraestructura de Hezbollah
Las tropas de las FDI llevan a cabo acciones específicas y buscan impedir el fortalecimiento de la organización terrorista en la frontera, así como también reforzar la línea defensiva para los residentes del norte israelí
El régimen de Irán lanzó una nueva ola de ataques en Medio Oriente, tras la destrucción de un buque de guerra iraní en el Océano Índico por parte de la Armada de Estados Unidos. Teherán advirtió que Washington “lamentará amargamente” el precedente creado. Israel respondió con un bombardeo sobre la capital del país persa y con ataques selectivos en el Líbano contra el grupo terrorista Hezbollah.
Mientras las sirenas aéreas sonaron en Tel Aviv y Jerusalén durante la madrugada, el Senado de Estados Unidos rechazó una resolución que buscaba frenar la operación militar “Furia Épica” ordenada contra la república islámica por el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump. La propuesta obtuvo 47 votos a favor y 53 en contra.
La guerra interrumpió el transporte marítimo y el suministro de petróleo y gas en la región, lo cual provocó un aumento del 15% en el precio del crudo Brent.
Estados Unidos e Israel han mantenido un ritmo intenso de bombardeos, que llevó a aplazar las ceremonias oficiales en Irán para despedir al depuesto líder supremo iraní, Ali Khamenei. El secretario de Guerra estadounidense, Pete Hegseth, indicó que las operaciones podrían extenderse varias semanas, sin plazo definido.
A continuación, la cobertura minuto a minuto:
Irán lanzó un ataque con drones en el aeropuerto de Najicheván, al suroeste de Azerbaiyán
Irán atacó este jueves con drones el aeropuerto del enclave de Najicheván, al suroeste de Azerbaiyán, a 10 kilómetros de la frontera con el país persa, y acusó a ese país del lanzamiento.
“Como resultado del ataque, el aeropuerto resultó dañado y dos civiles resultaron heridos. Bakú condena enérgicamente este incidente; estas acciones contravienen las normas y principios del derecho internacional y contribuyen a la escalada de tensiones en la región”, enfatizó el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Azerbaiyán.
El ministro de Defensa israelí habló con Hegseth: “Sigan hasta el final, estamos con ustedes”
El ministro de Defensa de Israel, Israel Katz, mantuvo anoche una conversación con el secretario de Guerra de Estados Unidos, Pete Hegseth, según informó su oficina.
En un comunicado, la oficina de Katz señaló que el ministro expresó sus condolencias por la muerte de seis militares estadounidenses en ataques iraníes y aseguró que Israel “está haciendo y seguirá haciendo todo lo posible para ayudar a proteger la seguridad de las tropas estadounidenses en la región”.
Katz pidió transmitir su agradecimiento al presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, por el apoyo brindado a Israel y destacó que la cooperación entre Trump y el primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu frente a Irán “está cambiando la historia regional y global”.
El ministro israelí también agradeció a Hegseth “por su gran apoyo a Israel y por la amplia asistencia en la defensa de los ciudadanos del Estado de Israel contra la amenaza de los misiles iraníes”. En ese sentido, resaltó la estrecha y sin precedentes cooperación entre los ejércitos de ambos países para alcanzar los objetivos de la guerra.
Por su parte, Hegseth elogió la colaboración militar y las capacidades de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI), y transmitió a Katz: “Sigan hasta el final, estamos con ustedes”.
Italia enviará ayuda para defensa aérea a los países del Golfo
Italia enviará asistencia de defensa aérea a los países del Golfo afectados por los ataques de la república islámica, anunció la primera ministra Giorgia Meloni.
“Italia, al igual que el Reino Unido, Francia y Alemania, tiene la intención de enviar ayuda a los países del Golfo”, declaró Meloni en la radio RTL. “Estamos hablando claramente de defensa, de defensa aérea, no solo porque son naciones amigas, sino porque hay decenas de miles de italianos en esa zona y alrededor de 2.000 soldados italianos que debemos proteger”, agregó.
Consultada por la posible implicación en la guerra de las tres bases militares estadounidenses en Italia, la mandataria explicó que actualmente tienen autorización para “operaciones sin bombardeos” y que cualquier cambio en ese sentido requeriría revisión por parte de su gobierno y, probablemente, del parlamento italiano. “Hasta el momento no tenemos ninguna solicitud en ese sentido”, concluyó.
Israel y Estados Unidos lanzaron una nueva ofensiva coordinada contra Irán y el grupo terrorista Hezbollah
En el sexto día del conflicto en Medio Oriente, las fuerzas israelíes y estadounidenses desplegaron su arsenal y bombardearon una sede del grupo terrorista, infraestructura de defensa del régimen iraní y lanzamisiles balístico
Durante la noche y madrugada de este jueves, las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI) llevaron a cabo nuevos ataques en Beirut, Líbano, contra instalaciones utilizadas por el grupo terrorista Hezbollah, los cuales incluyeron una sede empleada por la unidad aérea de la organización.
Las consecuencias sanitarias en Israel del quinto día de la guerra en Medio Oriente
El Ministerio de Salud israelí informó que en las últimas 24 horas, 199 personas heridas han sido trasladadas a hospitales como consecuencia del conflicto con Irán.
De los pacientes atendidos, 14 se encuentran en condición moderada y 170 en buena condición. Trece personas han recibido tratamiento por ansiedad y dos están en evaluación médica.
Desde el inicio de los combates el sábado, un total de 1.473 personas han sido evacuadas a hospitales. Actualmente, 145 permanecen hospitalizadas o en urgencias, mientras que el resto ya recibió tratamiento y fue dado de alta.
Israelíes varados en Medio Oriente aterrizan en Tel Aviv
Los dos primeros vuelos de repatriación para israelíes varados en el extranjero debido a la guerra en Medio Oriente aterrizaron este jueves en Tel Aviv, según informó el Ministerio de Transporte de Israel.
Las aeronaves llegaron al Aeropuerto Ben Gurión en la mañana del jueves. La ministra de Transporte, Miri Regev, afirmó: “Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para que todos los israelíes regresen sanos y salvos a casa”.
Los soldados de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel se movilizan contra Hezbollah en Líbano
Las fuerzas de la Brigada “Montaña” (810), bajo el mando de la División 210, continúan operando en la zona del Monte Dov, en distintos puntos del sur del Líbano.
“Las tropas llevan a cabo acciones específicas para exponer infraestructura enemiga, impedir el fortalecimiento de la organización Hezbolá en la frontera y reforzar la línea defensiva para los residentes del norte de Israel», informaron las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI) vía X.
Irán atacó a grupos kurdos en el norte de Irak
Las Fuerzas Armadas de Irán anunciaron este jueves el lanzamiento de un ataque con misiles contra posiciones de grupos kurdos en el Kurdistán iraquí, ampliando así el alcance del conflicto que entra en su sexto día.
“Hemos atacado los cuarteles de grupos kurdos opositores en el Kurdistán iraquí con tres misiles”, informó la Base Jatam al Anbiya, comando central unificado de las Fuerzas Armadas iraníes, según la agencia IRNA.
Australia desplegó “recursos militares” en Medio Oriente
El primer ministro australiano, Anthony Albanese, informó el jueves que Australia desplegó “activos militares” en Oriente Medio como parte de un plan de contingencia, en respuesta a la escalada de la guerra regional tras los ataques estadounidenses e israelíes contra Irán y la muerte del líder supremo Ali Khamenei.
Albanese comunicó al Parlamento que el gobierno envió seis equipos de respuesta a crisis a la región y que “ya hemos desplegado activos militares como parte de nuestra planificación de contingencia a principios de esta semana”. Agradeció a los australianos que se encuentran en una situación peligrosa colaborando en la asistencia a sus compatriotas.
El primer ministro no detalló en qué consisten los recursos militares, aunque el medio local SBS News señaló que se trata de aviones.
Australia estima que hay unos 115.000 ciudadanos australianos en la región. Por su parte, Nueva Zelanda también anunció el jueves el envío de dos aviones militares a Oriente Medio para preparar la evacuación de sus nacionales.
Un alto funcionario del grupo terrorista Hamas fue eliminado
Medios estatales libaneses informaron que un ataque israelí abatió a un funcionario del grupo terrorista Hamas, en el primer asesinato selectivo reportado de un miembro del grupo palestino desde el inicio de la guerra regional tras los ataques de Estados Unidos e Israel contra Irán.
Wassim Atallah al-Ali y su esposa murieron cuando un dron atacó su vivienda en Beddawi, un campo de refugiados palestinos cerca de Trípoli, según reportó la Agencia Nacional de Noticias (NNA). Al-Ali fue identificado como un alto funcionario de Hamas.
