I have copied an article from Watch.org, written by Bill Koenig. Bill has deep contacts in Israel, Europe and in Washington. He is a Christian White House journalist. Interesting take, makes sense to me. Rh

Behind the Scenes: A White House Correspondent’s Take on Israel, Trump, and the European Shakeup

INTRO:

Hi everyone, William Koenig here. 

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes. If you’re following Israel, Trump’s tense exchange with Zelenskyy, and Sunday’s European meeting—buckle up. This is the real story.

ISRAEL TODAY: THE SHIFT WE CAN’T IGNORE

Israel is at a crossroads. On one hand, security threats are escalating—Hamas is making moves in Judea and Samaria, Iran is flexing its muscle, and the world is getting increasingly hostile toward Israel’s right to defend itself.

Behind closed doors, Israeli officials aren’t just talking about defense—they’re making decisions that will determine the survival of the nation. The IDF isn’t playing games anymore. Every move is calculated. The last thing they want is another October 7 scenario playing out in Judea and Samaria.

TRUMP & ZELENSKYY: THE BLOW-UP

Now, let’s talk Trump.

His meeting with Zelenskyy at the White House? A disaster. Zelenskyy came in expecting one thing, but Trump was all business. He laid out a minerals deal—a way for Ukraine to rebuild, backed by American investment. But Zelenskyy, pressured by Democrats and European leaders, rejected it.

Big mistake. Trump hates being pushed around, especially by a leader whose country is being propped up by American tax dollars. The room got heated, voices were raised, and Trump finally cut the meeting short.

Here’s the real kicker—this wasn’t just about Ukraine. This was Trump sending a message to Europe: “Step up or step aside.”

EUROPE’S WAKE-UP CALL

And that brings us to today’s European summit.

With the U.S. playing hardball, European leaders are scrambling. They met in London today to figure out how to support Ukraine without relying on Washington.

Here’s the reality: Europe doesn’t have a real plan. They’re talking about forming a “coalition of the willing” to support Ukraine, but behind closed doors? They know they’re in trouble. They’d need to increase defense spending by €250 billion annually just to fill the gap if the U.S. pulls back.

BEHIND THE SCENES TAKEAWAY

    •    Israel is making bold moves behind the scenes to secure Judea and Samaria.

    •    Trump is shifting the entire global power dynamic—and he’s not afraid to leave Ukraine (and Europe) on their own.

    •    Europe is trying to play catch-up, but without a united front, they’re in serious trouble.

Folks, this is a global reset happening in real time. What happens next? It all hinges on decisions being made right now—decisions that will shape the future of Israel, Ukraine, and global security.
