Israel at War: The Day of the Lord is Near: April 10, 2025
Obadiah 1:15
For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done (to Israel), it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
About 30 years ago, I begin to preach about the Day of the Lord is Near as found in the Book of Obadiah. In my best selling book As America Has Done to Israel, I included a chapter about the Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord is a reference in the Bible to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Obadiah gives a clear indicator to the immanent Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The key event is when Israel enters into an all-out battle with the Palestinians in which none of them survive.
I believe the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war was the trigger for the battle described in Obadiah. This blog will keep you on the cutting edge of events leading to proving the Day of the Lord is Near and soon Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This can be proved by the Bible.
Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
Hamas even named the attack and war they started. It was call: Operation Al Aqsa Flood! This means the Temple Mount in Jerusalem! All the wars triggered by Hamas’ attack are heading towards Jerusalem where God will bring his final judgment on Islam. Incredible events are soon about to unfold, but if you understand Bible prophecy you know how it is going to end.

Zechariah 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
ISRAEL: Latest Update (The * is for the latest postings)
*Ahead of Trump admin-Iran talks, new report says Iran nuclear threat rises to ‘extreme danger’
From article:”A leading U.S. research institute devoted to monitoring Iran’s illicit nuclear weapons program published an alarming report ahead of this weekend’s U.S.-Iran talks, declaring Tehran’s atomic weapons system has reached an extremely dangerous stage. The Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Science and International Security titled its shocking new report, “The Iran Threat Geiger Counter: Extreme Danger Grows.” According to the study, “Since February 2024, the date of its last report, the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program has worsened significantly. Major negative factors include Iran’s greater nuclear weapon capabilities, its shorter time frames to build nuclear weapons, and the growing normalization of internal Iranian discussions favoring building nuclear weapons.”
From article:”President Trump said moving Palestinians out of Gaza would offer them a chance at a safer, freer life — while removing civilians from a combat zone long dominated by the Hamas terrorist group. “If you take the people, the Palestinians, and move them around to different countries, and you have plenty of countries that will do that and you really have a freedom zone, a free zone where people aren’t going to be killed every day,” he said, noting that the region had for too long been associated with “killing and Hamas and problems.”
Pete Hegseth Brags That Terrorists Have Had a Bad Three Weeks, Signals It’s About to Get a Lot Worse
From article:”“It’s been a bad three weeks for the Houthis, and it’s about to get worse,” Hegseth told reporters. “It’s been a devastating campaign whether it’s underground facilities, weapons manufacturing, bunkers, troops in the open, air defense assets.” “We are not gonna relent, and it’s only to get more unrelenting until the Houthis declare they will stop shooting at our ships. And we’ve been very clear with the Iranians as well, they should not continue to provide support to the Houthis, and that message has been made very clear,”
Inside Trump’s Jihadist Elimination Unit at the White House:
From article:” “Let me illustrate this by an incredible story that’s now declassified from the second week of the Trump administration. I’ve been going around the Intelligence Community, the Pentagon, our warfighters, trying to understand what happened the last four years. I was told a horrific story, especially those who are watching the bad guys 12 hours a day from our exquisite platforms, that they’d been tracking jihadis and not been allowed to do anything about it. The last administration, which was really on the side of the bad guys—if you look at the unleashing of the billions of dollars to Iran, if you look at the way they treated Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu—it was not interested in doing counterterrorism. In fact, they made it so difficult that if you wanted to take out an HVT, a high-value target, it had to go all the way up to the White House through the National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to the president, Joe Biden or to whoever was functioning with the auto-pen that day, and we thought this was insane.”
Israel, US must strike Iran’s nuclear programs multiple times
From article:”“Everyone always says attacking Iran is a last resort. Now we’re hitting that point where it seems like we are getting to that moment of last resort. This may be the last opportunity. And then later we just hit them again,” if need be. If we “keep doing that [attacking] and they’ll make it harder and bury things [elements of the nuclear program] further underground, [nevertheless] until this regime falls and there is a new regime that doesn’t want to pursue nuclear weapons, and cares about the welfare of their citizens,” there is no real other choice, he said.”
State-controlled Iranian newspaper calls for firing bullets into Trump’s ‘empty skull’ I believe this call to assassinate President Trump is an order to all Iranian agents in America to act now. Iran knows the attack is coming and this is an attempt to stop it!
From article:”The Islamist revolutionary newspaper that is widely considered the voice of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday stoked a targeted assassination of President Donald Trump. According to the Persian language article published in the mouthpiece Kayhan newspaper of Khamenei, “He’s way out of line! Any day now, in revenge for the blood of Martyr Soleimani, a few bullets are going to be fired into that empty skull of his and he’ll be drinking from the chalice of a cursed death.”
From article:”On Monday, Abbott’s office announced that he had “directed the Texas Rangers to open an investigation” into the East Plano Islamic Center and affiliated entities over “potential criminal activities.” “The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality found that the group behind the proposed EPIC compound did not submit the required permits to begin construction,” Abbott explained. “They must confirm within seven days that they are immediately ceasing any construction of their illegal project or face the full weight of the law.” ”The state of Texas will enforce its laws and protect our communities from unlawful actions or threats posed by EPIC or its affiliates.”
Wave of protests in Europe rise against Islamization: “Europe is Christian,” the people fiercely proclaim. The Muslims have gained great power in Europe, and the time has come for a great conflict. There is tremendous bloodshed coming to Europe which they created by acting like Islam is benign!
From article:”A wave of protests has swept across Europe in recent months, with citizens in Spain and France raising their voices against the growing Islamization that threatens their traditional values.
Russia Warns Against U.S. Strike on Iran Nuclear Sites: “Catastrophic”
From article:””Threats are really heard, and ultimatums are also heard. We consider such methods inappropriate, we condemn them,” Ryabkov added. Iran said it “will have no choice” but to seek nuclear weapons if attacked, a senior adviser to Khamenei Iranian Supreme Khamenei said. The U.S. has significantly increased its military presence in both the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean, in a move signaling heightened U.S. preparations for potential conflict.”
From article:”The Carl Vinson will join the Harry S. Truman in the Middle East “to continue promoting regional stability, deter aggression, and protect the free flow of commerce in the region,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.”
Russia to Review Taliban Terrorist Status — One Step Closer to Recognition
From article:”The court is widely expected to remove the Taliban from the list despite the high threshold for doing so, as Putin regime officials have in the past claimed that Putin has already decided to formally recognize the group as the government of Afghanistan. Russia rapidly moved to cultivate a relationship with the Taliban after its capture of the country in August 2021; in October, Russia announced it would help the Taliban with a “humanitarian operation.”
Iran mulls preemptive strike on US base after Trump bomb threats
From article:””Like any Iranian military threat, the art is to determine what is bluster and what is real,” Behnam Ben Taleblu, an Iran expert and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital when asked about the strategy behind the alleged threats against the U.S. base. “Deception is a propaganda tool used to bolster deterrence and prevent a conventionally weak regime from having to fight,” he added. “By threatening everywhere, the regime hopes to have to fight nowhere – meaning its revolutionary foreign policy gets to remain uncontested.”
Iran threatens to target US-British joint base in Indian Ocean
From article:”Iran has threatened to retaliate against the joint U.S.-U.K. naval base on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago if the United States attacks the Islamic Republic, Britain’s The Telegraph reported on Saturday. “Iran possesses adequate weapons for such an attack from its mainland, such as newer versions of the Khorramshahr missile that have an intermediate range, and the Shahed-136B kamikaze drone with a range of 4,000 kilometers [2,485 miles],” Iranian state media warned, according to the report. Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported that Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, addressing an Al Quds Day event on Friday, said, “The Americans themselves are aware how vulnerable they are. If they violate Iran’s border, it will be like a spark in the powder keg that would blow up the entire region. Then, their and their allies’ bases will not be safe.”
From article:”Israel has recently observed a military buildup by Egypt in the Sinai Peninsula…“Egypt has deployed forces beyond the permitted quota, expanded port facilities, and extended runways at airports,” the source said. The source added that these actions violate the peace agreement between the two nations. Regarding the entry of Egyptian forces beyond the permitted quota, security officials emphasized that “such actions are reversible – it is not a problem to pull tanks back.”
Trump Shuts Down Antisemitic Activism at Columbia
From article:”“This is an individual who organized group protests that not only disrupted college campus classes and harassed Jewish American students and made them feel unsafe on their own college campus, but also distributed pro-Hamas propaganda, flyers with the logo of Hamas,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at last week’s briefing. “This administration is not going to tolerate individuals having the privilege of studying in our country and then siding with pro-terrorist organizations that have killed Americans.”
And that’s not all. Trump also threatened to cancel $400 million in federal research contracts and grants to Columbia unless the school tightened disciplinary procedures and asserted greater control over academic departments to stem antisemitism at the school, particularly in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Last week Columbia caved – pledging, for example, that masked demonstrators must show identification when asked, that protests will generally not be allowed in academic buildings, and that several dozen public security officers will be empowered to make arrests.”
Lawmakers demand answers from NGOs over alleged Biden funding for Israel protests –
From article:”Six US and Israeli NGOs are being investigated by the House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees to ascertain whether funding they allegedly received from the Biden administration was utilized for the judicial reform protests in 2023, Jewish Insider reported on Thursday, citing a letter that it was given access to. The probe was revealed in a Wednesday letter dispatched by Reps. Jim Jordan and Brian Mast, chairs of the House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees, respectively, to the six NGOs. The organizations listed were the Jewish Communal Fund, the Middle East Dialogue Network, the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, PEF Israel Endowment Funds, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and Blue and White Future. The two lawmakers alleged that by reportedly funding these NGOs, the Biden administration was “attempting to undermine Israel’s democratically elected government.”
From article:”US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the US was deeply concerned about the persecution of minorities in Bangladesh, saying the Trump administration was committed to defeating “Islamist terrorism” globally. “The long-time unfortunate persecution, killing and abuse of religious minorities, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Catholics and others has been a major area of concern for the US govt and President Trump and his administration,” Gabbard told NDTV World. “The threat of Islamist terrorists and the global effort of different terror groups are rooted in the same ideology and objective – which is to rule and govern with an Islamist Caliphate. This obviously affects people of any other religion, other than the one that they find acceptable, and they choose to carry this out with terror and very violent and terroristic means. President remains committed to identifying this ideology that drives Islamist terrorism and helping to defeat that ideology.”
From article:”The US military has sent at least five B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to highly strategic island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. These heavy bombers can obliterate targets with their huge 25 tonne bomb payload per jet. This means the US’s deadly fleet of five could carry an astounding 125 tonnes of bombs. These developments, just days after Trump‘s massive attack on Houthi rebels, send another stark warning to the militants and their Iranian backers.”
Iran under threat: Is Trump preparing for decisive action?
From article:”The prospect of an imminent US military operation targeting Ali Khamenei personally is serious and growing. Yet Khamenei, enamored with his own voice and obsessed with self-importance, continues to spew nonsense from behind his podium – rhetoric no different from the final ravings of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi. The Iranian people do not take him seriously. Thousands of videos circulate online daily, praying for his dreadful demise. His threats of retaliation are empty. His only recourse lies in activating dormant terrorist cells within the US and Europe.
Tehran’s dictator refuses to accept Trump’s conditions in the letter. Why? Because he is a deceitful, criminal Shi’ite cleric whose very identity depends on nuclear weapons development, arms exports to Islamic terror mafias, regional arson, and hatred toward Israel and the United States. Should he concede, everything would unravel. But he will cling to his delusions until the very end. The impending assault by the US, Israel, and their military and intelligence allies – including the CIA, Mossad, US Army, IDF, and the Pentagon – will be comprehensive and multilayered.”
Netanyahu: IDF will ‘seize territory’ in Gaza if hostages not released
From article:”The pressure the IDF will play will be “more and more powerful,” and will include “seizing territory” and “doing other things” in Gaza if Hamas does not return the hostages, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in the Knesset on Wednesday. The prime minister did not elaborate further, but Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed the comments a few hours later. In a video encouraging Gazan protests against Hamas, Katz said, “Hamas is endangering your lives and will lead you to lose your homes and more and more territory.”
Erdogan’s mistake: Israeli professor explains the spark of Turkey’s anti-regime protests
From article:””In Turkey, there is a multi-party system, a lot of parties who are fighting among themselves,” Inbar said. “And in the last elections, there was some kind of coalition between the opposition parties, but they lost.” He elaborated how the regime has heavily cracked down on opposition, jailing journalists, politicians, and generals. In doing so, they arrested Ekrem Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul who was selected by the opposition CHP party to be their presidential candidate who will oppose Erdogan. This, Inbar said, was a mistake. “I think Erdogan made a mistake,” he said. “This is something that obviously creates opposition, and much of the anti-Erdogan sentiments came out into the streets.”
Which pro-Palestinian campus orgs. are accused of ties with Hamas? – explainer
From article:”Campus groups once seen as activists are now facing questions over glorifying terror and ties to Hamas-linked networks. The lawsuit filed in the United States on Monday against anti-Israel groups that allegedly have aided Hamas on campus returned the focus back to campus activists and their ties to the Palestinian terrorist group. This is because “Within Our Lifetime” is not the first group to be sued for ties to Palestinian terrorist organizations, particularly Hamas, in recent years.”
Anti-Israel groups aided Hamas on campus, knew of attack beforehand, Oct. 7 victims say in lawsuit
From article:”The lawsuit is seeking damages from activists aiding and abetting Gaza’s terrorist organizations.According to it, some groups, whom Hamas members reportedly saw as operatives, reactivated just before the massacre, and others issued protest and propaganda materials as the event unfolded in southern Israel.The suit was filed by the National Jewish Advocacy Center, the Schoen Law Firm, Greenberg Traurig LLP, and the Holtzman Vogel Law Firm at the Southern District Court of New York. It was filed against Within Our Lifetime (WOL) and its leader, Nerdeen Kiswani, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and its representative, Maryam Alwan, Columbia-Barnard Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and its representative, Cameron Jones, CUAD, and Khalil. The lawsuit is requesting compensation and punitive damages over the alleged coordination with Hamas and its affiliates in its “terror-by-propaganda strategy” and the purported provision of material to support the terrorist organization’s public relations operations.”
Turkey protests: 1,133 detained amid unrest over president’s main rival being jailed This needs to be closely watch because of the potential of civil war in Turkey.
From article:”Hundreds of thousands of people defied a ban on gathering in Istanbul to take to the streets for a fifth night on Sunday – where protesters were met with tear gas and rubber bullets from police. More than 1,000 people have been detained in Turkey after five nights of demonstrations against the arrest of the Turkish president’s main rival. Ekrem Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul, was detained over corruption charges on Wednesday – sparking protests in cities including Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir.”
China Has Set Up Iran’s Next War in the Middle East
Iran’s Mullahs Can Never Change, Never Be ‘Friends’
From article:”The Islamic Republic of Iran is not a normal state, or even a conventional dictatorship. It is an ideological entity that derives its very identity from opposition to the United States, Israel and the West. From the moment the Islamic Republic was born out of the 1979 revolution, its core identity was forged in opposition to the United States and Israel. These were not just foreign policy stances but central tenets of the regime’s existence. The regime refers to the United States as the “Great Satan” and Israel as the “Little Satan,” righteously positioning itself as the force of divine justice against these supposed embodiments of evil. For the Iranian mullahs, hostility toward America and Israel is not just rhetoric; it is the fundamental pillar of their legitimacy. If the regime were to abandon its enmity toward the U.S. and Israel, it would lose the entire justification upon which it has built its power.”
‘Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel,’ Trump, Putin agree in call
From article:”In a U.S. readout of the two-and-a-half-hour call between the two leaders, the pair “spoke broadly about the Middle East” in order to “prevent future conflicts.” “They further discussed the need to stop proliferation of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure the broadest possible application,” the readout states. “The two leaders shared the view that Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel.”

Trump Administration Seeking ‘Full Dismantlement’ of Iran’s Nuclear Program (Video)
From video:”The middle east is not at peace. The United States military launched a campaign of targeted strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. A dozen F-18 fighters took off from an aircraft carrier destroying more than 60 Houthi targets. Then Arleigh burke missile destroyers fired multiple Tomahawk cruise missiles hitting the newly redesignated terrorist group- and I can’t help but feel like – Ah shit here we go again. These strikes reached out and touched Houthi command centers, missile launchers, and leadership sites but will return freedom of navigation to the red sea?”
New Rocket Launches Put Israel & Hezbollah On Brink Of War Once Again
From article:”Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam warned warned that Lebanon is on the brink of being drawn into a “new war.” “All security and military measures must be taken to show that Lebanon decides on matters of war and peace,” Salam said. “Salam warned of renewed military operations on the southern border, because of the risks they carry dragging the country into a new war, which will bring woes to Lebanon and the Lebanese people,” a statement read. The country is still in a painful rebuilding process, after Israeli airstrikes demolished whole neighborhoods primarily in south Beirut.”
Israel Threatens To Annex Territory In Gaza, Implement Trump’s ‘Voluntary Migration’ Plan
From article:”Defense Minister Israel Katz said Friday that the Israel Defense Forces would “seize additional territories [in Gaza], while evacuating the population” if Hamas doesn’t sign on to revised terms of a hostage-for-ceasefire deal. “The more Hamas continues its refusal, the more territory it will lose and be annexed to Israel,” Katz warned. He said it would start through the expansion of border “security zones” in order to bring them under “permanent Israeli control.”
IDF expands ground operations throughout Gaza
Netanyahu is right about Israel’s ‘deep state’
From article:”The really bad news for Israel is that, unlike Trump, whose Article 2 constitutional powers do give him the ability and the right to make the sort of sweeping changes in the federal bureaucracy that can sweep the American “deep state” out of power, Netanyahu has no such powers. If Israel’s Supreme Court is brazen enough to carry out what is nothing less than a judicial coup, they can effectively stop Netanyahu not only from carrying out the government’s determination to fire both the Shin Bet head and the attorney general, but from doing anything else, including adopting necessary measures for fighting the war on Hamas.”
Chief Rabbi of Orleans Assaulted Amid Surging Antisemitism in France
From article:”Rabbi Arié Engelberg was assaulted Saturday evening while walking in the city center with his young son. Local media reported that the suspect hurled antisemitic insults at the rabbi before physically attacking him. “The attack on Rabbi Arié Engelberg in Orléans shocks us all. I offer him, his son, and all our fellow citizens of the Jewish faith my full support and that of the nation … We will not give in to silence or inaction,” Macron wrote in a post on X.”
Iran threatens US with revenge
From article:”The tyrant’s threats come after President Trump on Monday explicitly linked the actions of Yemen’s Houthi rebels to the group’s main benefactor, Iran, warning Tehran it would ‘suffer the consequences’ for further attacks against the west by the group. Describing the Houthis as ‘sinister mobsters and thugs,’ Trump warned any attack by the group would be met with ‘great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there.’ ‘Iran has played “the innocent victim” of rogue terrorists from which they’ve lost control, but they haven’t lost control,”
The West is facing an Islamic holy war
From article:”What was most mind-blowing, she said, was the revelation from 1993 when the FBI wiretapped Hamas members in a Philadelphia hotel room and recorded them talking “about how to make their messaging more palatable to an American audience and how when they’re speaking to people on the left, they’re going to speak in terms of social justice and apartheid.” Which, of course, is precisely what’s been carried out to devastating effect. And these activists aren’t just aiming to destroy Israel and murder Jews. They’re aiming to destroy America. Last September, SJP tweeted: “True divestment necessitates nothing short of the total collapse of the university structure and American empire itself,” and that its aim was “to undermine and eradicate America as we know it.”
Egypt willing to temporarily absorb half a million evacuated Gazans
From article:”Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said that his country was ready to temporarily host half a million Gazans who would be evacuated from the Gaza Strip, according to a Friday report by Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar. According to the report, the Gazans would be allocated a city in the North of the Sinai Peninsula.”
IDF will seize Gaza land permanently until Hamas releases hostages, Katz says
From article:”The IDF will permanently seize parts of the Gaza Strip if Hamas doesn’t release the hostages held in captivity, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Friday. “I have instructed the IDF to seize additional areas in Gaza, evacuate the population, and expand security zones around Gaza to protect Israeli communities and IDF soldiers. The more Hamas persists in its refusal to release the hostages, the more territory it will lose, which will be annexed to Israel,” Katz said. “If the hostages are not released, Israel will continue to take more and more territory in the Strip for permanent control”
Khamenei Demands Protesters in U.S. and Europe Rise up to ‘Stop’ Israeli Military in Gaza
From article:”The Times of Israel reports Khamenei made his call for action in a speech designed to rally anti-Israel activists everywhere, “to strongly oppose this treacherous, horrendous act.” “Once again children are being killed, homes are being destroyed, and civilians are being displaced. The people must stop this tragedy,” Khamenei says in a Nowruz address, according to an English transcript posted on his website. His call echoes a long standing Iranian opposition to everything the U.S. is involved in with threats made on an almost monthly basis against both Washington’s interests and Israel.”
Israeli Defense Minister: Israel’s Iron Beam Laser Defense Nearing Deployment
From article:”Iron Beam is a high-powered, ground-based laser system designed to intercept short- to mid-range threats, including rockets, UAVs, and cruise missiles. Bringing cutting-edge laser defense from concept to reality, it will complement the Iron Dome, offering a more cost-effective defense solution — each laser shot costs as little as $2, compared to tens of thousands per Iron Dome interceptor. Beyond ground-based defenses, Israel plans to explore deploying laser systems on aircraft, though that advancement is still years away.”
US to hold Iran responsible for further Houthi attacks, Trump says
From article:”US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran will be held responsible and face “dire” consequences for any further attacks by Yemen’s Houthis. “Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!”
From article:”On Thursday, al-Jolani declared himself “temporary” President for 5 years and approved a new “temporary” Syrian constitution that will place the country under Islamist rule, Arutz Sheva reported, including the requirement that the head of state must be a Muslim and that Shariah law serve as the primary basis for legislation. Abu Mohammad al-Jolani joined Al-Qaida in Iraq 2003 where he sent car-bombs to Shia neighborhoods in order to start a civil war. He was too radical even for the head of Al-Qaida, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. He wound up in a CIA-operated prison in Iraq with Abu Bakr al Baghdadi until 2011, with whom he went on to form ISIS. Al-Jolani become the leader of the al-Qaida offshoot in Syria, al-Nusra front, when it was taken over by ISIS 2013.
Al-Jolani’s Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani is expected in Brussels Monday at a donor conference to rake in more taxpayer money for the brutal regime. The EU has already promised €235 million to Syria for 2025, plus €50 million from Germany, €65 million from Switzerland and £61 million from the UK. The EU Conference “Standing with Syria: Meeting the Needs for a Successful Transition” called the fall of the Assad regime “a historic moment and an opportunity for the Syrian people to decide the future of their country.”
From article:””Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones. “Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going. It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk.
From article:”The U.S. says that Yemen has no right to attack international shipping regardless of what it thinks about Israeli actions. After the U.S. launched multiple dozens of air strikes against Yemen overnight last night, Yemen retaliated by firing what they claim were “eighteen ballistic and cruise missiles, and one drone” against the USS Harry Truman Aircraft Carrier and its strike group in the northern Red Sea.No word if any of those missiles actually struck any US naval vessels.”
From article:”The White House released photos of President Donald Trump watching strikes on Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen on Saturday, as the large-scale U.S. operation against the terrorist group continues. “President Trump is taking action against the Houthis to defend US shipping assets and deter terrorist threats,” the White House wrote on X, sharing photos of Trump, as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. “For too long American economic & national threats have been under assault by the Houthis. Not under this presidency.”
Trump wrote in a Saturday TRUTHSocial post that he had “ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.” “Our brave Warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrorists’ bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom,” Trump said. “No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World.”
Iran Rushing to Build Nuclear Bomb: West, Act NOW
From article:”A nuclear-armed Iran poses an existential threat not only to the “Little Satan,” Israel, and the “Great Satan,” the US, but to all the oil-rich Gulf countries in the Middle East. The task is not just about protecting Israel, Europe and the US; it is about preventing…. the mother of all arms-races throughout the Middle East. The least the West can do is help to prevent one of the most dangerous regimes on Earth from obtaining weapons of mass destruction – before it proceeds to a nuclear breakout.”
What are the beliefs of Mahmoud Khalil’s activist group CUAD?
From article:”Yet the revolutionary ideology that motivates CUAD seeks more than these immediate objectives, in the same way that new demands have arisen by activist groups once their calls for a ceasefire were met. The group sees the United States as an empire, with their fight within “the belly of the beast” inextricably connected to the fight of Hamas and other terrorist organizations in the Levant. CUAD, like most anti-Israel organizations, sees the entirety of Israel as an illegitimate project, not limiting their designs to the Green Line. In an October Instagram post, it described 76 years of “Nakba” and Israeli state illegitimacy, further explaining in an October 17 Substack article commemorating the October 7 massacre that it would “not stop demonstrating until Zionism ends.” “Colonial projects all die, and Zionism will not be saved,”
Iran Issues “Final Warning” To U.S. and Israel
From article:”The government of Iran has issued a “Final Warning” to the United States and to Israel concerning the likely pending attack by those countries, against Iran. The Iran government said “An attack on Iran is tantamount to the destruction of all US bases in the region and the destruction of all Israeli nuclear facilities.” This comes just days after US President Donald Trump sent a letter to the Ayatolla Khameinei seeking to engage Iran in nuclear negotiations. According to Trump, the letter made clear that if Iran does not enter negotiations, it may get bombed.
Iran REJECTED Trump’s reported offer, saying Iran will not negotiate while it is being aggressively Sanctioned and threatened by the United States. With today’s “Final Warning” from Iran, the stakes are now crystal clear. Iran does have the missile capability to reach and smash US bases throughout the entire Middle East region, and to attack all of Israel, including its nuclear facilities at Dimona. Complicating this situation dramatically is that Iran is a military ally of Russia. Nothing about this situation is good. If the US and Israel attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, it seems clear that Iran will strike back. If/when Iran strikes back, it appears – at least on the surface – all hell is likely to break loose. This situation could literally explode onto the world — without any warning — within days.”
Saudi Diplomat: Trump Leading ‘New World Order’ of Peace and Cooperation
From article:”President Donald Trump is ushering in a new age of peace, stability and cooperation in the region, according to Hassan bin Youssef Yassin, a senior Saudi diplomat and advisor to King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who expressed strong support for the President’s efforts to create a “new world order” based on coexistence and cooperation, as he urged Arab nations to back his initiative as they did in the past.
From article:”The worst fears over the safety of Syria’s non-Islamist population have come horribly true as the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militia unleashed ethnic cleansing on non-Muslims, killing over 1,000 since Friday. The failed Obama-Biden Regime had pushed for regime change and supported Islamist militias in Syria since 2011 and most recently dropped a $10 million bounty on the head of radical Islamist HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani.”
US Evangelicals pressure Trump to let Israel take control of the West Bank
From article:”Evangelical Christians who voted for US President Donald Trump are pressuring him to allow Israel to gain full control over the West Bank based on the covenant God made with the Jews, the New York Times reported on Saturday. The Times reported that prominent evangelical allies of Trump are campaigning by making appearances in Israel, petitioning the White House, and building support in Congress. “I literally feel God is giving Israel a blank check,” said Pastor Mario Bramnick, the president of the Latino Coalition for Israel. He visited Jerusalem on Tuesday with other key conservative Evangelicals to publicly advocate for Israel’s seizure of Judea and Samaria. The group of Christian Zionists believes that Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank would foster other biblical promises, such as an apocalypse that brings about the second coming of Jesus Christ, the Times reported. “We Christians are calling on our beloved President Trump and his team to aggressively remove all barriers to Israel’s sovereignty over all the land, including Judea and Samaria,” said Terri Copeland Pearsons, a pastor and president of Texas Bible College, last Thursday at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs.”
Trump: ‘We’re down to the final moments with Iran’
From article:”U.S. President Donald Trump hinted on Friday that the United States could take military action against the Iranian nuclear program “very soon” if the Islamic Republic does not strike a deal with the United States. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said that there would be “interesting days ahead” with respect to Iran. “We’re down to final strokes with Iran,” Trump said, using a golf metaphor. “We’re down to the final moments. We’re at final moments. Can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.”

IDF seizes Hamas plans for mass attack in Judea, Samaria and central Israel
From article:”“Hamas files have been seized that had a purpose of attacking towns in Judea and Samaria and along the Seam Line,” Katz said in remarks to heads of regional councils, Israel Hayom reported. “The communities in Judea and Samaria are the protective wall of most of the State of Israel,” the defense minister declared. “When Judea and Samaria are protected, the large cities are protected. We must be on the offensive in Judea and defeat the enemy.”
From article:”Itamar Marcus, founder of the Palestinian Media Watch, tells CBN News his organization has discovered a trend, in Palestinian Authority messaging as they monitor the content of communications from Ramallah. “Five times, probably, in the last six months, we’ve heard the expression, ‘Count the Jews, Allah, count the Jews one by one, kill them one by one, don’t leave even one,'” Marcus explained. And these prayers come from top Islamic officials.
“Some of them are Sharia judges, some of them are heads of the Sharia courts,” Marcus noted. “These are very senior people in the religious establishment.” Marcus contends these sermons carry added weight, given the religious connection. “When you are telling people that they have to kill Jews because this is what their god wants, then you can’t argue with them, you can’t discuss with them, you can’t reason with them – because they believe this is the fulfillment of Islam for them. And that’s why it’s such a difficult situation for Israel,”
Mike Huckabee: Grounding Middle East Diplomacy In The Truth Of God’s Word
From article:”In a recent podcast interview, he shared that he “felt an overwhelming spiritual reality of understanding this is the land that God has given to the Jews.” A Bible-believing Christian Zionist, Huckabee sees Israel as the foundation of his faith, rooted in God’s promises to the Jewish people.Huckabee views Israel not through a political lens but a biblical one. His framework is anchored in God’s covenantal promise to Abraham: “To your descendants I have given this land” (Gen. 15:18). “This land” includes even the contested area the world calls the West Bank, a term Huckabee rejects in favor of the biblical names, Judea and Samaria. His refusal to adopt the prevailing terminology signals a departure from conventional diplomacy and embraces a biblical narrative as the guiding principle for his ambassadorship.”
‘Your Time Is Finished!’ Facing Shocking Antisemitism, British Jews Prepare to Leave
From article:”Polling shows British Jews consider Islamists to be the most serious threat, and in a close second is the far-Left. Falter adds that the nation’s young people are being indoctrinated against Jews. “We are seeing young people who believe that they are doing a righteous thing by discriminating,” Falter said. “They are becoming radicalized on the internet. They are imbibing bigotries that their parents themselves don’t have. And then they’re teaching this from one kid to another kid. And so, we’ve got a generation which is extremely hateful and not just hateful. They’re extremists.” Some non-Jews see the danger and are publicly supporting Britain’s Jews. Mark Birbeck began the group Our Fight after he witnessed the lack of public support for Jews and Israel following October 7th.”
Israel moves tanks into West Bank for first time since 2002
From article:”Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to “increase the intensity of the activity to thwart terrorism” across the West Bank. Katz said troops will remain “for the coming year” in parts of the territory and indicated that Palestinians who have fled cannot return.”
How USAID Shipped Bags of Hundred Dollar Bills to the Taliban
From article:”The State Department responded to these revelations by falsely claiming that there are no sanctions on Afghanistan, that banks refuse to carry out wire transfers because of “the lack of profitability” and that “to the best of our knowledge, no electronic financial delivery systems are currently scalable to meet the liquidity needs of the UN” requiring it to instead convert billions of dollars into paper notes and ship them by plane. None of this is true or even a plausible lie.
The Taliban money laundering scheme was not an exception. It was how USAID, the State Department and the UN have operated for too long, not only in Afghanistan, but in Syria, Yemen, Gaza and many other terrorist areas around the world, using plausible deniability and chains of organizations to avoid accountability and direct responsibility for aiding terrorists. Americans have become the financiers of their worst enemies. It’s time for that to stop.”
Hamas’s October 7 Massacre Is Part of Its Jihad to Destroy Israel
From article:”What happened on October 7 should be seen in the context of Qatar’s, Iran’s and Hamas’s continuing Jihad. The massacre on October 7 was just another phase in the Islamist groups’ efforts to eliminate Israel. After the October 7, massacres, the Qatari government media consistently praised the massacres, and weeks ago vowed more of them. Anyone who believes that Hamas would abandon Jihad as a result of a ceasefire agreement is engaging in extreme self-deception. Hamas has not yet accomplished its mission of destroying Israel. Hamas’s main goal, especially now, is to remain in power after the war…. Any deal that keeps Hamas in power would pave the way for the Islamist murderers, rapists and baby-killers to carry out still more massacres against Israelis.”
