Mideast News Update

Hamas Takes Back Gaza

Regardless of the West’s illusions of eliminating Hamas and restoring Gaza, the place remains a mess. Within hours of the pullback of Israel’s forces, tens of thousands of Hamas armed militants in uniforms and battle gear took control of all the main roads and junctions, letting EVERYONE know Hamas was still in charge of Gaza.

This week featured a frenzy of hundreds of murders, kidnappings, public executions, and brutal beatings and breaking of legs by Hamas terrorists. Anyone who resisted them in the last two years or showed any sympathy to Israel has by now been caught, eliminated, or became disabled. Where are all the “human rights” organizations? Where are the “Free Palestine” demonstrations? Where are the crocodile tears in the UN halls?

In short, Hamas is once again attempting to complete its takeover of the Gaza territories that Israel was asked to vacate under the new American Administration agreement. What’s different now compared to Oct 7, 2023, is that the IDF has control of about 50% of the Gaza Strip territory; the Hamas rocket arsenal is nearly exhausted; and all the living hostages are back home.

 

Fragile Peace… at Best

Regardless of the West’s desperate attempts to pacify the Islamist nations like Qatar, Turkey and Egypt, to bring Gaza into order, and to control Israel’s hardliners, hardly anyone in Israel trusts that this new 20-Point Peace Plan will succeed.

The simple fact is that until Hamas is completely eradicated, Israel should not move an inch from their new “Yellow Line” border with Gaza (see map below), and should continue to eliminate any Hamas action (there are many, each day) which violates the agreement.

In fact, it won’t be surprising if, should Hamas remain obstinate, the IDF will take even more ground in Gaza to secure their southern communities that suffered so gravely on October 7.

 

No More Terror State In Gaza

Barring a (political) miracle, it looks like Hamas has walked right into a trap. Given its nature, Hamas cannot surrender and will never disarm, leaving it in a perpetual state where it is ruling over an oppressed and impoverished population lacking a viable economy or a political horizon.

The Gaza population will keep trying to migrate out of Hamas’ grip as fast as they can, leaving it ruling over the ruins of Gaza.

The rich Arab nations that vowed to finance Gaza’s rebuilding are already pulling back from their commitments due to Hamas’ belligerence. Just like we wrote in the past, the Gaza debacle shall remain thorny to be used by the Lord to bring about His purposes for the end of the age.

There will never be a new terror state in Gaza. The moment they raise their heads, the IDF will bomb and destroy them, the same way it daily bombs Hezbollah in Lebanon.

On another front, Israel’s politicians are gradually and painfully realizing that the Lebanese and Syrian “fake governments” lied to them and have no intention or the ability to disarm Hezbollah or the other Jihadi militias that run loose in their territories threatening Israel’s borders.

 

Saudi Arabia Pulls Back

Saudi Arabia has announced that it will NOT send any money for the rebuilding of Lebanon since its government is not fulfilling its promise to disarm Hezbollah. This war is far from over, and Israel will have to act resolutely when it has to. Pray for Israel!

Vice President Vance visited Israel this week, following President Trump and many of the American Administration trying so hard to “make a deal.”

 

Israel Stands Firm

The present situation is that Israel took a firm stance. (1) No Turkish forces will enter the Gaza Strip as part of the peace monitoring fake force. (2) No PLO (the supposed moderate Palestinians) personnel will enter Gaza. (3) No further Israeli withdrawal from the “Yellow Line” until Hamas is fully disarmed and Gaza is completely demilitarized.

 

God Is Protecting Israel

Over the last two years during Israel’s war in Gaza we have watched the God of Israel come through time and time again with miracle after miracle just as the Lord promised He would do in Zechariah 12!

Israel has been fighting a seven-front war and yet their supplies have not been depleted, their military has not been defeated, and they are now stronger than at any time in their 77-year history.

This has all been accomplished because the God of Israel neither slumbers or sleeps in protecting his chosen people. Israel has defeated its enemies, gained back most of the Gaza Strip and has expanded their land into southern Syria.

Just as in every previous war since 1948, it’s a losing proposition to try to go to war against Israel. If you are foolish enough to attempt an attack on Israel, you’ll be fortunate if you come out alive.

Israel will continue to build itself up economically, militarily, nationally and hopefully, spiritually, in spite of its internal challenges and in the midst of global and regional chaos.

Israel & Hamas Peace Deal Signed!

Peace Deal Made!

How would you feel if all your friends told you that you better do the number one thing in the world that you want to do least? If you don’t, they’ll be done with you forever. Not sure what emotions you might experience? Then, find one of the leaders of Hamas, buy him a cup of coffee, and let him tell you just how miserable he is right now, because that is currently the terror group’s situation.

President Trump has presented his 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan [see below] to initiate phase one for ending the Israel-Gaza War. Hamas was doing their usual hemming and hawing, trying to draw out the process until it broke down. Only this time, instead of supporting them, their best friends, the Qataris, along with the Turks and the Egyptians, told them you better sign or we’re cutting you off. That’s what it took and Hamas signed on to Phase One of the deal which is to release all 48 of the remaining hostages this weekend, both the dead & alive.

If there are no last-minute snags, this should finally bring the remaining hostages home, though there’s the potential that some who are deceased may not be recovered for some time.

Achieving this milestone is no surprise to President Trump or Prime Minister Netanyahu. In fact, it is the culmination of a brilliant strategy that began exactly one month ago with the “failed” Israeli air attack on Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar. What the media loves to portray as a botched assassination attempt was actually a key step that scared the Qataris and others into forcing Hamas’s hand.

The magnificent scheme was cooked up by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu that is worthy of a Netflix mini-series. And it worked like a charm by putting fear into Qatar which Trump used to bring Qatar into agreeing on his 20-Point Peace Plan.

President Trump is likely heading to Egypt soon for the Israel-Hamas signing agreement and then to Jerusalem to speak in the Knesset. All the rumors of the rift between Trump and Netanyahu were part of the scheme.

In the next 72 hours, the hostages will be returned home. On Sunday, 20 innocent Israeli hostages will be returned and on Monday the remaining fallen hostages will come home. In return, the terrorists will receive 250 of their imprisoned members.

And, in case you are wondering, none of the terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre will be among those returned. In return, Israel will pull back their troops from their present positions in Gaza but will remain in the Philadelphi Corridor and inside the borders of Gaza. Hamas has it in their mind that this is the end of the war, but Israel says, “We’ll see.” This agreement is just phase one of the process. If the terrorists fail to keep any part of the agreement to the letter, Israel will have full permission to destroy them.

Once the agreement is fully set in motion, Israel and the United States will be open to focus on other areas. That means that Iran needs to be looking over their shoulders. The U.S. has already moved massive forces into the Persian Gulf area. The Houthis also need to prepare for some visitations, since Israel can now put their primary focus on dealing with those terrorists.

 

Pause Not Peace

We need to remember that Hamas is the Palestinian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood who opposes Israel and would like to see them completely destroyed. They see ‘peace’ as more like a ‘pause’ to reload. Genuine peace with the “Zionist enemy” is something that is anathema to the Jew-hating, genocidal Islamist death cult like Hamas.

Even if they put on the appearance of doing so, Hamas will never really disarm. They will never relinquish power. They will never renounce terrorism. They will never fully retreat into exile. It’s just not in the blood of those who are perpetually ‘blood drunk’ by the divine dictates of their ‘faith.’

“When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible … and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory…“ – Reliance of the Traveler: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law

Backed into a corner, giving up hostages was a relatively easy compromise to make. If Hamas refused then Israel’s onslaught would have been unrelenting and Hamas would have likely lost many of the hostages, either by them getting killed during combat or in rescue attempts. And fewer hostages means far fewer terrorists released from Israeli prisons in any exchange.

It was really the only choice Hamas could make, one that was made easier now that their largest supporters Turkey and Qatar (both now suddenly on the receiving end with the promise of significant military upgrades and security guarantees from the US, respectively) — were now exerting significant pressure on Hamas to accept.

 

Flotilla Flop

I am writing this story under protest, because the ridiculous flotillas to “break the blockade on Gaza” are technically news. But, oy vavoy, I hate giving these people any recognition at all. Sure, they did provide a little comedy relief, like when Greta Thunberg got demoted to a different boat and one of the organizers resigned after some bullying by a trans contingent.

And then there was that meme that said that Greta was the first hostage victim in history whose kidnappers’ only demand is that she leave. Actually, I guess based on entertainment value alone, the flotillas weren’t such a bad thing after all.

 

Syrian’s New Target

Now that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has slaughtered Alawites, Christians, and Druze, he is in search of a new target to mollify his murderous ISIS gangs. It appears he may have found it in the Kurds of Aleppo.

Deadly fighting broke out on Monday between the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Syrian government forces. Because the SDF is backed by the U.S., if this conflict continues it could draw America into the conflict to a certain extent.

 

Macron’s Mess

At just 27 days, French President Emmanuel Macron’s latest Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu became the shortest tenured PM in the history of the Fifth Republic when he resigned his office on Monday.

This leaves the beleaguered president with a choice. Does he appoint yet another sacrificial prime minister? Does he take a chance and dissolve parliament, hoping for better luck with new elections? Or does he just resign? I know my choice for him.

President Trump Chairs Board of Peace!

Eternal Peace?

What has been described by the President as a bridge to “eternal peace” that will end a “3,000 year catastrophe” is now moving forward at rapid speed.

Both Hamas and Israel have purportedly [and tentatively] agreed to the plan, along with numerous other countries.

Gaza peace talks are now taking place in Egypt. Though significant issues remain to be hashed out between Israel and Hamas, some are saying that after two years of death and destruction, a breakthrough may be near.

The second anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel that ignited the war in Gaza falls on the first full day of the Jewish harvest festival, Sukkot, and takes place against the backdrop of fresh hope for an end to the conflict amid renewed peace talks in Egypt.

President Donald J. Trump’s 20 point plan for peace has galvanized a chorus of international praise as the potential pivotal turning point after years of devastating war.

Such a deal might quickly fall apart, but the timing is significant and all eyes are now on the Middle East.

 

Prophetic Significance

From the perspective of students of Bible prophecy, everything about this deal is eerily similar to Israel’s coming peace deal with Antichrist with world leaders coming together to divide the land of Israel and Jerusalem.

Things the Bible predicted so long ago are lining up like jets on a runway, taking off one after another. It can be breathtaking to those who know the signs of the times, who document them, and who share the biblical meaning with others. Not to scare, but to prepare to meet the Lord in the clouds.

The critical components of the 20-point deal include points #16 (barring Israel from [ever?] annexing Gaza or any territory thereof) and #18–20 (finally establishing a “credible pathway” to Palestinian statehood).

If followed through, these points are not only dangerous assaults on the Abrahamic Covenant but disastrous for America by leading the call for the world to divide the land of Israel.

Gaza was originally given to the tribe of Judah (Josh. 15:47) and therefore belongs to Israel. The so-called ‘West Bank,’ which will be given over for the ‘State of Palestine,’ is Israel’s biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria and God warned Israel not to divide it.

From Heaven’s perspective, Israel’s agreement with this deal will be seen as breaking the everlasting land covenant (Gen. 13:14; Ps. 105:8-11), which inevitably results in judgment on all the nations of the world (Joel 3).

 

Locked In

President Trump has locked the Middle East into a peace framework with Qatar, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Egypt all on record in support… The design ties aid, reconstruction, security, and a two state path into one package… game theory in motion, every move is now watched, every deviation costs leverage, and Israel is left with no escape route if it breaks from the framework.

President Trump’s Gaza plan resets the equation… Control no longer flows through Jerusalem or Tel Aviv… it runs through Trump… Netanyahu is left with a voice but not the gavel… Israel is written into the deal as a participant… Trump chairs the board and directs the frame.

Stay tuned as the race to the seven year Tribulation is surely picking up steam!

President Trump’s
20 Point Peace Plan

1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.

2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.

3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.

4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.

5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.

6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.

8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement.

9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.

10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.

11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.

13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.

14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.

15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.

16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.

17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.

18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.

19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.

20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

Israel, Mideast & Beyond

Charlie Kirk’s Killer Captured

Police have arrested a suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus earlier this week – identified by sources as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident.

Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was sitting under a tent around 12:20 p.m. Wednesday, debating with students on hot-button current affairs issues, when a single shot rang out. Video from the scene shows him struck in the neck before he slumped out of his chair.

He had been invited to speak at Utah Valley University by the campus chapter of Turning Point USA, a national conservative student group he founded.

President Trump said he hopes the suspect gets the death penalty if found guilty. He also explained how investigators found the suspect — with help from a minister, a member of the U.S. Marshals Service and the suspect’s father.

 

Israel Hits Hamas in Qatar

Israel’s Operation “Summit of Fire” is committed to ensuring that every person responsible for the massacre of October 7, 2023, will pay with their lives. This is true no matter who they are or where they may be.

That includes the deceptive country of Qatar. On Tuesday morning, the IDF launched an attack on a luxurious villa in Doha that Hamas leaders use to relax, recreate, and plan their next slaughter.

At first, it appeared that all the intended targets, most of whom were what remained of Hamas’s top echelon, were present and eliminated. But in the aftermath, the jury is still out. There are reports that Turkish intelligence warned Hamas to get out, while others say that the Qataris were tipped off by the U.S. and subsequently warned the leadership to flee. More information will surface as time passes.

 

Israel Hits Back at the Houthis

Days after a Houthi drone hit Eilat’s Ramon Airport, injuring five people, Israel struck back with a vengeance. In the longest flight carried out since the beginning of the war, Israel’s Air Force flew 10 jets more than 2,350 kilometers in order to fire over 30 munitions against 15 targets.

This mission hit military camps, a fuel storage facility, and most importantly the Houthi Military Media Department headquarters, which is responsible for disseminating incitement and propaganda messages.

 

IDF Warns Civilians to Flee Gaza City

Using voice messages, leaflets, text messages, and phone calls, the IDF is doing all it can to evacuate Gaza City’s civilians to the safety of a new humanitarian area in Hamad City, north of Khan Younis.

Meanwhile, the military is bringing down the towers of Gaza City (anything over eight stories) one by one to prevent their continued use by Hamas as lookout stations, terrorist residences, and entry points for the underground tunnel system.

 

Four IDF Soldiers Killed in Gaza City

A terrorist climbed onto a tank from the 401st Brigade on Monday and threw an explosive device into the open hatch. The resultant blast took the lives of four IDF soldiers. Killed were Staff Sgt. Uri Lamed, 20; Sgt. Gadi Cotal, 20; Sgt. Amit Arye Regev, 19; and a fourth soldier yet to be identified. More heartbreak for the people of Israel.

 

Will Lebanon’s Talk Turn into Action?

Following the vote by Lebanon’s government to disarm Hezbollah, the military has presented a plan to do just that. They have divided Hezbollah’s strongholds into five zones. The southernmost zone is already being dealt with by Israel out of necessity. It remains to be seen whether Lebanon will turn their own plans into action.

 

Russian UAVs Cross into Polish Airspace

In a moment that led Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk to assert, “We are in the closest situation to an armed confrontation since World War II.” On Tuesday, Russia launched a massive UAV attack. Four hundred drones flew from Belarus toward Ukraine.

However, 100 of them crossed into Polish airspace. The Polish PM subsequently activated Article 4 of the NATO treaty which requires urgent security consultations among member countries if one of them feels threatened. Currently, it appears that the situation may be calming down. However, there is no doubt that Russian President Putin just tested the NATO alliance and has found it lacking.

 

Chaos in France

Thousands of protesters are flooding the streets in France, clashing with police and rioting in opposition to the government’s economic policies. The loss of the people’s confidence in Emmanuel Macron’s leadership spilled over to the loss of confidence the government had in François Bayrou’s prime minister role.

He was ousted in a vote on September 8, causing Macron to shift minister of Defense Sébastian Lecornu into Bayrou’s vacancy, making him the seventh prime minister in Macron’s eight-year tenure.

The global threat for dividing Israel is gaining momentum just as prophesied in the Word. Macron who is leading the charge to divide the land of Israel and to recognize a Palestinian State is now watching France descending into chaos.

The Abrahamic covenant is still in play and the God of Israel is rewarding Macron for his actions against the Jewish state.

I’ll have more on Macron and the international community’s pressure on Israel for the Two-State Solution as well as the upcoming vote this month to recognize Palestine from the UNGA’s meeting in NY, at our class on September 23!

Prophecy News Update

Final Stage in Gaza Begun

The IDF has begun its ground maneuver in Gaza City, and Israel is encouraging the 800,000 residents of the city to flee south to safety while they still can.

Gaza City, the heart of Hamas’s terror empire, with terror infrastructures above and below ground, is about to be wiped off the map to ensure it is never a terror center again. No more ceasefires. Now it is until victory.

 

Hamas Propaganda Chief Killed

What was the most dangerous weapon of Hamas? It wasn’t firepower. It was weaponized propaganda.

It was footage. It was the narrative of a fake famine. It was hostages on camera. The hostage release fiasco wasn’t humanitarian. This was psychological warfare, and its worldwide effect has worked. For a time.

Leading this massive machine of lies was Abu Obeida, the masked face of Hamas’s propaganda wing who the IDF just killed in a precision strike. He was the man behind the hostage videos, the staged “famine,” the cynical manipulation of the emotions of the Israeli population.

He wasn’t just a “spokesman.”He was Hamas’s chief psychological operations officer overseeing a propaganda army larger than Israel’s own communication units.
1,500 terrorists.Each Hamas battalion with its own “deputy commander for hasbara.”

Every terror squad, accompanied by a trained “operational documenter” with a GoPro and a mission: Not to fight but to film.

That’s what Hamas built. That’s what Abu Obeida commanded. And last week the monster was finally eliminated by a pinpoint IDF strike. Interestingly, it was a call about a fake news story over the weekend regarding the fictitious kidnapping of four IDF soldiers that allowed him to be traced, tracked down, and eliminated.

Every Hamas attack, every hostage parade, every so-called “release ceremony”, Abu Obeida was behind it. He briefed the hostages. He staged the scenes. He wrote the scripts. He even picked the “gifts.” He was the evil mastermind behind the Gaza City mind games.

Now he’s gone to his reward, when the IDF finally caught up with him and blew up his apartment.

His actions were brutally evil because when Hamas pushed those videos into the West, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera and even some in Israeli media, suddenly, Hamas’s narrative became the world’s reality.
“Genocide.” “Starving children.” “Ceasefire now.”

All while Hamas hoarded aid. All while they launched rockets from schools, hospitals, mosques and UN facilities. All while Israeli soldiers died trying to avoid civilian harm.

And let’s not forget: The international pressure inside of Israel and especially on Israel’s government and PM Netanyahu, was insane.

The major cities around the world including the U.S. and Israel protested parroting Hamas talking points.

Israeli Arabs marched in solidarity with those who butchered the Jewish people on October 7, protesting “starving Gaza children”.

And it was all done for one purpose! Satan, the chief architect of hate against Israel was constantly able to use Abu Obeida to create public pressure to stop the IDF war in Gaza.

But through all of that PM Netanyahu’s government didn’t fold. The IDF didn’t blink. The Israeli people didn’t break. And the Lord, who neither slumbers or sleeps, graciously remembered His promises to protect the chosen people!

Today, the IDF military operation in Gaza City has started.

Not as punishment. But as justice.

The capital city of terror will be destroyed. The propaganda head is dead. The psychological war that tried to stop the war? Defeated.

 

Trump’s Plan for Post-War Gaza

Tourism, technology, smart cities, digital tokens for housing – these are all part of the 38-page plan the Trump administration has released for what a post-war Gaza might look like. Citizens who aren’t fans of the new plan would be allowed to emigrate with $5,000 cash, food for a year, and four years of rent money. The new Gaza would depend on $100 billion of private investment and could turn the coastline into a new riviera.

 

Israeli Minister, Annex Most of West Bank

Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has drawn up plans for Judea and Samaria that would ultimately annex 82% to Israel. While six major cities would continue to belong to the Palestinians, the remainder would be open to Israeli settlement.

It’s unclear where the rest of the government stands on this issue, and some of Israel’s Abraham Accords friends, like the United Arab Emirates, have warned against the move.

 

Houthis Collapsing in Yemen

It was a bad week for Yemen. After two years of steady attacks on Israel, the IDF struck back against the Houthis on Thursday in a decisive way.

In Operation Drop of Luck, the Israeli military located a villa in which almost the entirety of the Houthi government and leadership were meeting. One bunker buster bomb later, 20 terrorists were killed and dozens more were wounded. Among the dead were the Houthi Prime Minister and at least nine ministers from his cabinet.

With the head of the snake removed, the rest of the serpent is flailing. The few leaders who are left are fleeing Sana’a. Just a reminder, these men were a legitimate target. They may have all had their “minister” titles, but they were not a legitimate government. They were simply terrorists who wore suits that were bought and paid for with Iranian money.

 

Iran Moves Nuclear Cooling Systems

In preparation for a possible follow-up attack on their nuclear plants by Israel, Iran has dismantled and moved the cooling systems from the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Probably a wise move. But, Iran shouldn’t get too comfortable. The Mossad has enough assets in the country to know wherever the cooling systems end up.

Prophecy News Update Gaza, Israel and the Middle East

Days Away From Death!

As Hostages Fade, Israel Faces A Terrible Choice.

The image above is almost too painful to describe: Evyatar David, once a vibrant young man, now a living skeleton, slumped in a Hamas tunnel, scratching his desperate tally marks into a calendar like a prisoner on death row.

He is gaunt. Pale. Hollow-eyed. Similar to those pictures we’ve seen of the death-camp Jews during the Holocaust.

In the video released by Hamas, Evyatar whispers in a weakened voice, “I haven’t eaten for a few days in a row.” At one point, (center picture) he’s forced to dig what he fears is his own grave.

And yet, somehow, the Western media yawns as the Hamas PR game roles on!

Contrast this with the daily flood of media photos depicting hunger in Gaza. Every image of a child clutching a bag of flour is amplified to make global headlines as Every accusation–real or manufactured–against Israel’s humanitarian policies is paraded with outrage.

But when Hamas releases proof of its barbarism–proof of deliberate starvation, captivity, and psychological torture of Jewish civilians–the story is buried deep in the back pages, if it’s acknowledged at all.

Why? Why does the suffering of Israeli hostages not evoke the same empathy? Why are Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski less worthy of compassion than those in Gaza?

The bias comes because “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph. 2:2) manipulates the world to oppose Israel.

And it is deadly.

 

ISRAEL’S LEADERS MUST FINISH HAMAS!

Please keep Israel’s leaders in your prayers so that the Holy Spirit will insert God’s will and counsel into the hearts and minds of the decision makers. It seems like Israel has “fought to win” (in Gaza and elsewhere) ONLY when she was forced to and allowed to (by the USA).

For nearly two years Israel has conducted their wars on 7 fronts with a lot of “half-measures” and “politically correct” maneuvers, delaying its inevitable outcome and prolonging the suffering. May God remove the stumbling blocks and bless Israel’s leaders with wisdom and the courage to finish Hamas, for everybody’s sake.

 

DRUZE AUTONOMY IN SYRIA?

Israel backed the Druze population in Syria militarily and politically against Syria’s new Sunni regime’s genocidal assaults. While the world at large IGNORED the plight of these Druze and kept “negotiating” with the new Syrian (ISIS & Al Qaeda graduates) terrorist regime, Israel stood by her promise to the Druze.

Their plight is still ongoing as hundreds of Druze women and children are still missing, having been kidnapped by Sunni gangs, and Druze territory is still under partial siege by hostile Sunni government forces. Keep them in your prayers please.

The small, yet intense Druze Middle Eastern minority have been Israel’s brethren and friend for many years now. France’s brethren are the “Palestinians,” and Paris is surely beginning to look more like Gaza with every passing day.

Israel’s Druze brothers took a hard blow from the Islamic Syrian regime, yet they did not surrender. With Israel’s backing, they will rebuild, align themselves with Israel, and secure the strategic biblical territories of Bashan (eastern Golan Heights and southern Syria).

This is not over yet, and Israel may be forced to take the land the Druze control. Zionism is the true human rights movement of the Middle East, yet most of the world is blind to the facts because it does not have love for the truth. Still, God’s Church is breaking through even in the Middle East as the Lord has promised that “the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.”

 

GLOBAL RECOGNITIONS OF A PALESTINIAN STATE BACKFIRE

Global announcements for recognizing a Palestinian State by France, the UK, Canada and others are but empty and meaningless words meant mostly to pacify Muslim voters and progressive coalition partners inside those countries.

Pay no attention to fools. In fact, you need to understand that, from God’s perspective, the nations of the world are presently being tested and evaluated by how they position themselves regarding the Arab/Israeli conflict.

The international community is deceived by the enemy and pushing hard for a Palestinian state!

2500 years ago, the Bible predicted this would happen, saying that Jerusalem would be caught up in an international controversy that centers around the notion that Judea and Samaria, along with Jerusalem no longer belong to Israel.

Therefore, the land and city of God should be taken away from Israel and given to a people (Palestinians) to whom it doesn’t belong.

Zechariah 12 warns of catastrophic consequences to all nations who seek to divide God’s land and meddle with the status of Jerusalem.

In spite of Israel’s left-leaning politicians, and in the face of the international “woke choir,” the land will continue to come back to its rightful possessors. This may include territory in Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, the Jordan Valley and Gaza. The existential wars that are being forced upon Israel will likely only serve to increase their territory and expand their borders just as it did in the wars of 1948, 1967 and 1973.

While the international “woke choir” keeps chanting “free Palestine,” Gaza is being erased, Hamas is desperate to make it to another day, and the Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria is bankrupt and weakening. The fact is that while fighting this just war, the State of Israel is moving slowly but surely, toward massive annexation of Land.

 

FAKE GAZA “HUNGER CAMPAIGN”

As the fake photos and manipulated media are being exposed, the opposite effect is taking place. Pressure on Egypt is increasing to open the Rafah border crossing, thereby allowing Gazans safe migration options. Simultaneously, pressure on European institutions is also increasing to accept Gazan refugees. We pray for Gaza to be emptied of hostiles; for the monster-city to be destroyed and leveled to the ground; and for the land to return to Israeli farmers and builders.

The fairytale of “Land for Peace” has run its tragic course and has been proven unattainable. Peace in the Middle East is found only in strength. Please pray for the IDF troops and remaining hostages who are still chained in Hamas tunnels as Israel is preparing to launch what we hope will be the final campaign in Gaza.

 

“PALESTINIANISM” – GLOBAL PONZI SCHEME

This global ponzi scheme involves the world’s Islamic and progressive regimes. While it has shiny marketing, effective media, and an endless money supply – there is no actual product behind the campaign.

The “State of Palestine” is a fake notion invented in recent decades by anti-biblical forces. Now, after nearly 100 years of constant struggle with the lie, Israel is being forced to reshape the Middle East in order to survive.

The 1916 “Sykes-Picot Agreement” (signed by Britain & France with the backing of Russia) that shaped the Middle East after WW1 is now being replaced by Israel and the USA.

 

IRAN CURSED

Zayandeh-Rud Drying Up

God warned in Genesis 12 that whoever curses Israel will be cursed.

Since the 1979 Iranian revolution, no nation has cursed Israel more than Iran! Now they are facing the divine consequences of a severe drought with public water supplies drying up.

Pray with us that the money train that supports this fountainhead of deception and lies will DRY UP, even as the legendary Zayandeh-Rud River in Iran is drying up.

ABRAHAM ACCORDS EXPANDING

The first wave of the Abraham Accords came into reality in 2020 by President Trump after threats of Israeli land annexation.

The next wave of the Abraham Accords may come to pass after the coming land annexation and the recognition that Israel is the only stable and credible player in the Middle East who can secure the world’s most important logistical and energy trade routes. Peace is made out of respect, not out of spineless PR marketing campaigns.

 

GOSPEL IN ISRAEL GROWING

Messianic witness is increasing in Israel. Messianic congregations are growing in every city and town in Israel; discipleship youth and children camps are hosting hundreds of believing youngsters throughout this summer vacation all across Israel. And Israel is experiencing growing interest and openness for Social Media Hebrew outreach campaigns.

The veil that God placed upon the eyes of Israel is growing thinner. This can only mean one thing… we are on the cusp of the Rapture and the 7-Year Tribulation.

Thank You for your prayers and support. God’s promises are good and sure to come to pass.

“Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.”
Luke 12
