🗞️ President Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded compensation fund for allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration — including January 6 defendants — sources told ABC News.
Trump would retain authority to remove members of the commission overseeing the fund without cause, and the commission would face no obligation to disclose its procedures or the identities of recipients.

🔴 “They love to create failed states” — Iran’s Deputy FM
Responding to multiple reports suggesting the Trump administration has been speaking with Kurdish leaders and that the CIA has been working to arm Kurdish forces for possible ground operations, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Esmail Baghaei said:
“If you look at the pattern of their behavior over the past three or four decades, the United States and Israel love to create failed states. They love to create bloodshed. They have so much appetite for turning the states into chaos, and that’s what they are trying to do in Iran. Abusing ethnic cities, abusing other countries’ ethnic minorities. That’s what they are trying to do,” Baghaei told Drop Site.

Donald Trump said the U.S. has taken control of Venezuela’s oil and completed an initial sale worth about $500 million. Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, said $300 million from that sale has been transferred to Venezuelan banks from a Qatar account, where the proceeds are being held under U.S. oversight. Neither the U.S. nor the Venezuelan government has fully explained how the remaining roughly $200 million from the initial $500 million sale will be distributed or used.

In a statement posted on social media hours after news broke that talks with the Sharaa-led government appeared to have collapsed, SDF spokesperson Farhad Shami signaled that the group was preparing for open confrontation, writing: “For our people, either a life with dignity or a death with honor.”
The SDF emerged from the Syrian civil war as a powerful militant force and, at its height, controlled roughly a third of Syria’s territory under a parallel political system known as the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES), including the Kurdish region of Rojava.
The DAANES has long defined itself as a democratic confederalist project operating in direct opposition to both the former Ba’athist state and Syria’s current Sunni Islamist rulers. During the war against the Islamic State, it also drew large numbers of left-wing and anarchist foreign fighters to its ranks.
At its peak, the administration governed all territory east of the Euphrates River, encompassing most of Syria’s oil fields and two major dams. Since the fall of the Assad regime just over a year ago, the new government in Damascus has pushed to fold the SDF into the Syrian Ministry of Defense and dismantle the DAANES in favor of centralized rule. Before talks collapsed, al-Sharaa circulated a decree pledging protection for Kurdish civil rights in a future Syria, though it proposed no material changes to the constitution.
Several former SDF fighters who spoke with Drop Site described themselves as committed to fighting against attempts by Damascus to reintegrate them and expressed suspicion and hostility towards the country’s new rulers, particularly in the wake of bitter fighting between Damascus and Kurdish groups in Aleppo earlier this month and previous massacres targeting Druze and Alawite minorities in the country.
“The current Syrian interim government has through its actions proven its murderous mentality,” said Serafin, a former SDF fighter based in Hasakeh, who declined to give his full name for security reasons. “If a total war for survival were to break out on this land we live on tomorrow, whether we like it or not, we would have to take up arms again to defend our people and our land.”

⭕️ Gaza journalist Asem Alnabih joined the Drop Site News livestream from Gaza City to discuss the deteriorating humanitarian conditions under severe ongoing aid restrictions and continued bombings and ceasefire violations.
He described a city being deliberately rendered unlivable under Israel’s ongoing assault. Alnabih said this is Gaza’s third winter in tents built to last “a few weeks, not two years,” as sewage systems, water networks, and fuel supplies collapse. “More than 250,000 tons of solid waste accumulated in every corner of this city… 75% of water wells have been destroyed. One hundred percent of sewage pumps are not working.” “This lovely city has been destroyed in the past 24 months… hundreds of thousands of families are staying in tents, without any basic services,” he told us.
Alnabih told Ryan Grim that Israel has only “stopped the war on television,” while bombardment continues. “The strikes continue every day… food insecurity, water scarcity, huge damage to infrastructure.”
He said Israel is openly pursuing mass expulsion: “Netanyahu said Rafah would open one way only, for people to leave, and no one would be allowed to return. That’s a very clear plan.”
Though his own children are outside Gaza, Alnabih said many refused to flee the territory and Gaza City in the north that has come under renewed Israeli attacks recently: “More than 300,000 people stayed in Gaza City and refused to leave,” he said. ”We will not allow Israel to take our city.”
“What we are asking for is not special. We are asking to be treated like any human around the world.”

⭕️ Netanyahu boasted today about the U.S. legal requirement that any American arms sale to a Middle Eastern country must not erode Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge (QME).
He said Sen. Marco Rubio assured him that the newly finalized F-35 sale to Saudi Arabia will meet that standard.
The requirement written into the U.S. Arms Export Control Act requires that the sale not erode Israel’s ability to “counter and defeat” any regional threat through superior military capabilities. It requires the Pentagon and State Department to certify to Congress that every relevant U.S. arms sale preserves Israel’s edge.

🚨 NEW | Israel’s Channel 12 (N12)—the country’s most-watched and top-rated news outlet—is again inciting against Palestinians after Hamas reportedly returned three bodies that don’t match any of Israel’s 11 confirmed dead captives (mostly soldiers).
AP reported on Oct 24 that Israel blocks all DNA-testing materials from entering Gaza. Euro-Med Monitor likewise confirms Israel “refuses to allow essential equipment for exhuming bodies and identifying victims, including laboratory tools, autopsy instruments, and DNA analysis kits.”
➤ So Israel destroys Gaza’s labs, bans forensic tools, and then blames Palestinians when identification errors happen.
Last time when the body Hamas returned wasn’t the captive Israel was expecting on October 29 (though the Palestinian resistance had still returned the remains of an Israeli captive), Israel launched a rampage—killing 46 children, 20 women, and 7 disabled people among 109 total Palestinians.
⭕️ Israel makes accurate identification impossible, then weaponizes the confusion to justify more killing, and its media cheerleads the genocide.

Australian doctor Nada Abu Alrub shared this footage from her time volunteering at hospitals in Gaza, documenting the human cost of Israel’s ongoing assault. “These are a few of my patients in Gaza,” she writes. “This is the true definition of terrorism… If the world will not remember them, then I will keep their names alive… Please only continue if you consent to witnessing the reality that others are forced to live.”

‼️ Israeli ministers argue over shooting Palestinian children near Gaza “Yellow Line”
Israel’s Channel 14 reported a heated cabinet session over how to handle Palestinians approaching the “Yellow Line” — the invisible divide stretching across all of Gaza and splitting it in half, that Israel orders civilians to not cross.
▪️The deputy army chief reportedly said soldiers have been firing at adults who approach the line, while “children and donkeys” — we stop them.
▪️Far-right extremist minister Itamar Ben Gvir demanded that troops “shoot the child and the donkey too,” saying Israel must “stop being merciful.”
▪️Shin Bet minister Dichter rebuked him, warning against “shooting everyone who comes near the fence,” to which Defense Minister Israel Katz concluded, “Anyone approaching the fence should know they will be hit.”
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud earlier noted that the Yellow Line is only visibly marked in very few areas — elsewhere it’s still invisible, leaving civilians exposed to unmarked free fire zones.
Reports from Gaza throughout the day showed Israel continuing to fire and bomb across multiple areas. Israeli drone fire killed one civilian near Bani Suhaila; artillery pounded Deir al-Balah; and massive airstrikes hit southeast Khan Younis according to Al Jazeera. In Gaza City, forces blew up homes and shelled eastern neighborhoods. Nearly 100 Palestinians have been murdered since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, exactly two weeks ago.

⚡️Must watch:
Netanyahu reveals to Hebrew audiences after the press event where Trump revealed the 20-point plan to end the war on Gaza, that he has no intention of withdrawing Israeli troops from Gaza – “No way, that’s not happening.”
He said:
“This is a historic visit. Instead of Hamas isolating us, we turned the tables and isolated Hamas. Now the entire world, including the Arab and Muslim world, is pressuring Hamas to accept the terms we set together with President Trump: to release all our hostages, both living and deceased, while the IDF remains in most of the Strip. Who would have believed this? After all, people constantly say, the IDF should withdraw… No way, that’s not happening.”

“I saw barefoot children, starving, scavenging grains of rice from the ground—picking them out of the dirt, dividing them among themselves, and eating them, sand and all. I saw young girls in the prime of their youth pushing through the crowd, tears in their eyes, begging for just one meal. I saw grown men standing in line, their eyes fixed on the ground, ashamed of their height, their strength, ashamed that they now had to queue for the bare minimum to survive.”
