Netanyahu on Iran: “We are working on other fronts. If Hezbollah expands the war, it will receive blows it never dreamed of. So is Iran. Iran leads the axis of evil. We act against Iran everywhere and in every way.’
“The war will continue for many more months, we will continue to fight until the elimination of Hamas and the release of all our hostages. We are not giving up on our efforts to return our abductees.
We will not agree to have a factor in Gaza that encourages terrorism.”
Standard Chinese weapons were seized in huge quantities in the Gaza Strip points at an emerging axis of evil: China – Iran – Russia – North Korea – Hamas
The land that the nation of Israel sits on now, and other land surrounding present day Israel was given to them to possess eternally by the Lord God Almighty. No one will fare well that attempts to double cross or pressure Israel to divide or give up their eternal inheritance. Enter the Biden Administration with the same old song and dance.
“This is not just about dealing with Hamas in terms of defeating it physically. It is about making sure that it can’t repeat what it did on October 7, but it is also about defeating an idea — a perverted idea… that we have to combat with a better idea… with a better vision for what that future can be and demonstrating that we’re committed to achieving [it],” Blinken says. Unacceptable!
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken argues that the goal of the war cannot only be to defeat Hamas but also to create a brighter future that includes a two-state solution
In other Mid East developments, Israeli journalist Ben Caspit reported on Sunday evening that originally the attack on Oct. 7th was planned to occur during the Passover Seder meal. It seems Iran paused the attack to further discussions on the $6 Billion given to Iran. Again another weak and feckless Biden Administration move that allows Iran’s proxy war against Israel to continue and strengthens their nuclear capabilities.
This needs to be understood, Obama/Biden have always been on the side of the Islamist, and expect Israel to acquiesce to concessions for a pseudo peace prospect. Peace only comes when the Prince of Peace arrives!
Jordan controlled the West Bank until 1967 and no asked them for a Palestinian state.
Egypt controlled Gaza until 1967 and no one asked them for a Palestinian state.
When Egypt signed the peace treat with Israel , they said they wanted Sinai back but keep the Gaza.
Even now Egypt has closed its borders to the plight of the Palestinians.
In fact no Arab or Islamic country in the Middle East has any desire to take in or give up land for the Palestinians. Wonder why?
This whole desire to take land from Israel for the Palestinians, it nothing more than a power grab to take land away from Israel to weaken and eventually dissolve the ancient land of Israel. God gave the land to them as an eternal covenant. In fact God said as long as the sun rises and the moon shines I will not forget my covenant with Israel. Do until the world stands, enemies of Israel deal with it! Israel will never leave or lose their land. Take it to the bank.
The Hebrew word Hamas, means violence. According to the Hebrew lexicon, the Arabic cognate of the Hebrew word hamas means warlike valor (noun form) or to be active, brave, constant (verb form).
Peace will never be established between Israel and its Muslim neighbors until the Prince of Peace arrives at the end of the tribulation period. Try as diplomats will, it will never happen. Biblical prophecy attests to this fact.
Rebecca Koffler, a former US Department of Defense intelligence officer and Russia expert, said she has solid evidence of Moscow officials being involved in Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel. She said she is still working through all the details, but will release an official report on Fox News on Monday that will reveal all the details.
Also, Rebecca Koffler said that the Kremlin is satisfied with the results of the attacks. Just a few days ago, a senior Hamas official, Ali Baraka, told a Russian state TV channel that the attack had been secretly planned for two years. Only Hamas partners and high-ranking terrorists knew about it. It is the precise planning that succeeded in blinding Israel’s military and intelligence forces.
Shortly after the attack, officials in Moscow called their counterparts in the Hamas terror group and thanked them for an excellent operation that distracted the world from Ukraine.
This cooperation is a strong indication of the change in Putin’s operating patterns and support for Hamas.
This change in Putin’s behavior is dictated by the defeats in the war in Ukraine. This completely changes the course of the Kremlin and provides new data for intelligence work. Reported by Amir Tsarfati – Behold Israel
US accuses Hezbollah of stockpiling weapons and ammonium nitrate across Europe State department’s Nathan Sales says group ‘represents clear and present danger to the US’ and urges Europe to take tougher line.
A warehouse containing 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded in Beirut on Tuesday, killing at least 171 people, injuring thousands, and destroying much of the city.
In the wake of the disaster, observers have questioned why such vast quantities of highly explosive material was left in Beirut’s port, so close to the densely populated city center.

And Israel starts to play the game on Mideast terms, leveraging its position for favorable outcomes Ryan Jones article from Israel Today
For decades the Palestinian nationalist cause has held the interests of the rest of the Arab world hostage. Everything was seen through the lens of “justice” for “Palestine,” but on such impossible terms that mutually beneficial partnerships had to be abandoned for the sake of toeing the party line.
To be sure, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are still employing the same rhetoric, stating that their decision to normalize relations with Israel is first and foremost a move to save the two-state solution and future Palestinian independence.
But as suggested yesterday by Dr. Anat Berko, a former Member of Knesset and counter-terrorism expert, the reality is that a growing number of Arabs states are tired of having their national interests play second fiddle to the Palestinian cause. (See: Saudi Arabia Turns Against the Palestinians and Arab States Quietly Back Israeli Annexation)
“The Emirates did not slink into an agreement with Israel, but released themselves from the Palestinian ‘occupation’ of their national interests,” said Dr. Berko in a Facebook response to the bellyaching of Arab Member of Knesset Jamal Zahalka over the UAE announcement. “The Arab states,” added Berko, “are simply tired of waiting on the Palestinians to agree to some arrangement that doesn’t include the destruction” of Israel. She also noted that the Palestinians had made a major strategic error in aligning with Iran and Iran-backed proxies, which are the mortal enemies of the UAE and other Sunni Muslim states.
A convenient excuse?
As for the UAE, what does an independent Palestinian state do for them? Sure, they might genuinely want to see that eventual outcome, but there’s no point allowing the lack of a Palestinian state at this time to prevent them moving forward with a partnership that will greatly benefit both them and Israel.
That’s why, despite the UAE’s official statements, I agree with Dr. Berko that this decision was much more about regional stability, mutual economic benefit and allying against the Iranian threat than an act of service to the Palestinian cause.
Remember that in making this decision, the UAE abandoned all previous preconditions for peace set by the Arab world.
Israeli settlements remain in place in the “West Bank”;
The entirety of Jerusalem is firmly under Israeli control; and
No political party in Israel (except perhaps the Joint Arab List) is even entertaining the notion of a Palestinian “right of return.”
In effect, the UAE got nothing in return for agreeing to peace besides the vague (and perhaps temporary) promise that Israel won’t carry out an annexation that most believe wasn’t going to happen anyway. Oh, and it also got the aforementioned benefits of partnership with Israel.
Perhaps “stopping the annexation” was just a convenient excuse to finally make a diplomatic move the UAE has wanted to make for some time?
