Trump Effect on Israel
JNS poll: Israeli public believes now is the time to attack Iran’s nuclear installations
Israelis also say the Biden administration seeks to undermine Israel’s war effort, support Trump over Harris by more than 50 points.
Israelis are almost unanimous in their support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision not to coordinate the airstrike that targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah with the Biden administration in advance of its commission, a new JNS poll conducted by Direct Polls show.
JNS asked, “According to reports, Israel did not coordinate with the United States in advance of it carrying out its operation to assassinate Hassan Nasrallah. Do you think it was the right decision or the wrong decision?
Eighty-three percent of respondents responded that it was the right decision. Nine percent felt it was the wrong decision. Eight percent did not know.
For the past several decades, Hezbollah ground forces and missile arsenal in Lebanon have deterred Israel from attacking Iran. Fearing that Iran would order Hezbollah to attack Israel with daily barrages of thousands of missiles and order its ground forces to invade the Galilee, Israel delayed acting directly against Iran’s nuclear and missile installations.
Finally, JNS asked which candidate for U.S. president Israelis believe will be more sympathetic to Israel’s interests. Sixty-five percent of respondents said Republican candidate Donald Trump would be more sympathetic to Israel’s interests. Just 13% of Israelis believe that Democratic candidate Kamala Harris would be more supportive of Israel. Fifteen percent of respondents said that both would be equally sympathetic to Israeli interests and 7% said neither would be sympathetic to Israel’s interests.
The results of the JNS poll align with results of one commissioned by Channel 14and conducted last week by Direct Polls. That survey, carried out the day before Israel’s elimination of Nasrallah, asked the public whether they believed that the U.S. has weakened or strengthened Israel in its struggle to remove military threats to its national security from the south and the north of the country.
Fifty-seven percent of respondents said the U.S. has weakened Israel. Thirty-five percent responded that the U.S. has strengthened Israel. Eight percent didn’t know.
The thrust of both polls indicate that Israelis believe that the Biden administration does not share or support Israel’s war goals and are concerned that the administration will use the lame-duck period
between the Nov. 5 presidential election and the inauguration of the next president on Jan. 20, 2025, to undermine Israel’s capacity to win the war.
Direct Polls questioned a sample of 520 adults (aged 18 and older) representing Israel’s general population.
JNS asked the public whether Israel should now seize the momentum it has gained through its recent strikes on Hezbollah to attack Iran before the U.S. elections. Sixty-two percent of the public answered affirmatively. Twenty-six percent said that Israel should abstain from using its momentum to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities ahead of the U.S. elections. Twelve percent said they did not know.
This time it is different, there seems to be a resolve that was never in Israel before to do what they feel they must do to protect themselves. Next step could be the nuclear facilities in Iran. It will have to be done sooner or later. Later may be too late. God be with Israel. Protect and guide them according to your will. Amen Rh

Israeli General to CBN News: Israel Has No Choice but to ‘Attack with All Our Capabilities’
Chris Mitchell CBN News
JERUSALEM, Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday that Israel stands ready to defend itself against any enemy attack. There is also the possibility that the Israel Defense Forces will go on the offensive.
Netanyahu sees the situation as a seven-front war where Iran and its proxies are trying to strangle the Jewish state.
“Their visible aggression is insatiable, but Israel is not helpless,” Netanyahu said. “We are determined to stand against them on every front, in every arena, far and near. Anyone who murders our citizens, anyone who harms our country, will be held accountable. He will pay a very heavy price.”
Some anticipate Iran will launch a bigger attack than April 13th, when some 350 missiles and drones rained down across Israel, resulting in only minor damage.
The Alma Research Center in northern Israel estimates a combination of “ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs from many sites in western Iran” could be launched.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has dispatched a fighter squadron to the Middle East, and the head of the Central Command, General Michael Kurilla, is already here in the region.
Retired IDF General Amir Avivi tells CBN News Kurilla is expected to play a valuable role in helping coordinate a similar coalition effort that protected Israel in April.
“It enables to really assist Israel to deal with all the different threats – whether it’s ballistic missiles, a UAV, and any other capability Iran might shoot at Israel or Hezbollah – and it increases dramatically the chances of really being able to secure Israel in the best way possible,” Avivi explained.
He added, “There is no 100 percent, but it definitely improves a lot – the chances of really dealing very well with most of the capabilities Iran and Hezbollah have.”
We asked the general about Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah’s threat that he may hit Tel Aviv or other civilian centers in Israel, and how Israel would respond if it happened.
Avivi replied, “If Hezbollah will shoot Israeli centers? This is a full-scale war. We have no other choice but to attack with all our capabilities. And I can tell you that Israel can inflict huge, huge damage on Hezbollah and also Lebanon. Overall, if (they would fire on) Israeli cities and infrastructure. Israel would destroy all the infrastructure of Lebanon, and they need to take that into account.”
PURE EVIL: Iran-Backed Hezbollah Terrorists Kill At Least 11 in Israel Including Several Children After Rocket Strikes Playground – Israel Vows Revenge by Cullen Linebarger
On Saturday, Israel experienced the worst attack on its soil since the Hamas invasion on October 7th, which left 1,200 people dead and 240 others kidnapped by the terrorists.
The New York Post reported that at least 11 people, primarily children and very young adults, were slaughtered when a Hezbollah rocket hit a soccer field in Israel-controlled Golan Heights.
Israeli officials confirmed that the attack by Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese terror group, targeted the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams.
In addition to the 11 killed, 40 morewere reported injured in the attack, with some listed in critical condition.
The Post reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now racing back to Israel from Washington, DC. Netanyahu was still in the nation’s capital on Saturday after addressing Congress Wednesday and meeting with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz said he discussed the cowardly terror strike with Netanyahu. He also declared that “Hezbollah crossed all red lines” and Israel was now “facing an all-out war” with the terror group.
Katz then warned Hezbollah would pay a high toll for its actions and was confident Israel would have the full support of the United States and Europe when they decided to ultimately retaliate.
Given Hezbollah’s close ties with Iran, this attack raises the possibility of an eventual all-out war between Iran and Israel. This possibility dramatically increases should Democrats seize another four years in the White House with Kamala Harris as the new regime leader.
Christians highlight Israel’s biblical roots to Hague court byJerusalem News Syndicate
The International Court of Justice is about to issue a nonbinding opinion on Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.
Nearly a thousand Christians from 45 nations have expressed their support for Israel’s biblical connection to the Holy Land in a decree presented to the International Court of Justice in The Hague ahead of a key ruling by the U.N. court this week.
The direct appeal by the Christian representatives, which was hand- delivered to the court registrar for each of the 15 justices earlier this month, was made ahead of Friday’s scheduled ruling on the legality of Israel’s control of east Jerusalem and the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria.
The decree, which was signed in The Hague by a mix of Christian religious leaders, pastors and political representatives, including former U.S. congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Pastor Satish Kumar, the head of Calvary Temple church in Hyderabad, the largest in India, highlights Israel’s connection to the land under dispute.
“We, Christian representatives of our nations from all over the world, declare and testify that the Land of Israel includes East Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria,” the July 4 decree reads. “These areas belong indisputably to Israel and are ultimately the inheritance of the Jewish people. Dividing the Land is in conflict with the Bible and the will of the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel.”
The case was taken up by the court after the U.N. General Assembly voted in December 2022 to ask the judges for a nonbinding advisory opinion on the dispute over what it termed “Occupied Palestinian Territory: East Jerusalem, West Bank and the Gaza Strip.”
At the time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the General Assembly over the resolution, which was approved over U.S. opposition and supported by less than half of the 193 member states. He accused the world body of “distorting historical facts” and declared that the Jewish people cannot be an occupier in its own land.
“Everyone is talking about international law but this is 100% biblical,” Jack van der Tang, an evangelical minister and the president of the Hague-based International Conference of Truth Justice and Peace who is behind the initiative, told JNS in an interview on Wednesday.
David Parsons, vice president of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, said, “We came to support this initiative in The Hague to make sure the justices at the World Court heard the perspectives of tens of millions of God-fearing Christians worldwide who stand with the Jewish people’s 4,000-year-old claim and connection to the Land of Israel.
“It would not be just or fair for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to be allowed to present their shameful annihilist view on the very existence of Israel, while an even larger global Christian constituency was being ignored,” Parsons continued.
Andrew Tucker, director general of The Hague Initiative for International Cooperation, an NGO that fights the misuse of international law to delegitimize the State of Israel, said, “From a legal and political point of view, the court’s ruling will be devastating for Israel.
“But it will also undermine the court’s legitimacy. And instead of de-escalating the [Israeli-Palestinian] conflict it is likely to make an agreed upon solution less likely than ever.”
I am proud to support Israel and their Biblical right to exist and to live in peace. Look to the happenings in the Middle East, especially Israel to see which direction the world is headed. There is no more important barometer to the sign of the times than the state and affairs of Israel. Rh
