Former Secretary Of State Pompeo Claims “Many” In The Saudi Kingdom Desire A Relationship With IsraelBy Behold Israel, Mar 2, 2021

The former Secretary of State, while speaking to the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement this week, voiced his hope for the Saudi Kingdom to join the Abraham Accords; Pompeo: I hope that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can find its way to join the Abraham Accords. I know that many inside that country want that to take place.

While addressing listeners tuning in to the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement via a recorded video, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo revealed that “many” within Saudi Arabia wish to see the Kingdom normalize its diplomatic ties with the Jewish State. In addition, Pompeo himself voiced his support for the Kingdom to join the Abraham Accords, following suit with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan.

Pompeo said, “I hope that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can find its way to join the Abraham Accords. I know that many inside that country want that to take place.” There was speculation near the end of 2020 that the Kingdom was on the verge of joining the Accords after Pompeo and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a very brief trip to Neom, Saudi Arabia, to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Continuing his speech, Pompeo revisited the Trump administration’s approach to Iranian aggression, acknowledging that the Abraham Accords could only become a reality through the tough US stance regarding the Islamic Republic, explaining that it revealed how serious the US was concerning a better relationship between Israel, the US, and the Arab world.

He specifically targeted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its former leader, General Qassem Soleimani, stating, “When leaders in the Arab world saw that the United States was prepared to do this, to push back against Iran, to push back against the IRGC leadership in the person of Qassem Soleimani, they knew they had a friend…They knew that they could… build out a set of accords with the State of Israel: these are not disconnected issues, they are deeply connected, one could not happen without the other.”

Despite Israel and Saudi Arabia not yet having normalized diplomatic ties, it has been reported that the two countries have worked together behind the scenes for some time.

Tom Cotton Creates Inspiring Message Explaining Why the Flag Is Backward on Military Uniforms

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

As Cotton explained during his CPAC speech, the reason the patch is backward has everything to do with what the flag looks like to our military while it’s charging forward.

“It goes back to the days of cavalry charges,” said Cotton. “When our soldiers would charge into battle the flag would fly in the wind and if you’re on the right side of the formation (and the flag is worn on the right shoulder) it would appear backwards.”

“So our soldiers wear that flag backwards on their uniform still today to remind everyone that our army always advances, it never retreats,” said Cotton.

”And I think that’s a pretty good lesson for us today,” said Cotton. “When America is under assault and conservatives are under attack we will never retreat. We will never surrender, and we will always defend and protect the United States of America.”

Iranian-Sponsored Militias Targeted in Suspected Israeli Airstrike in Eastern Syria @BeholdIsrael.org

More Iranian-backed militias were targeted in a suspected Israeli airstrike over the weekend in the Deir ez-Zor region; Other interests are reported to have been hit in the attack.

In eastern Syria, the Deir Ez-Zor region, specifically Al-Bukamal, experienced what is believed to have been another Israeli airstrike over the weekend. Al-Bukamal has been a frequent hotspot for Israeli airstrikes, especially in the last year or more as Iranian entrenchment has grown inside Syria, something Israeli officials have vowed to prevent.

This would be the fourth Israeli airstrike in Syria in January should Israel be the source.

Al-Bukamal is the major border crossing town from Iraq into Syria as the Iranian regime continues to seek a “highway” from Tehran to the Mediterranean coast.

In Saturday’s attack, it’s unknown whether or not there was a specific target, though it is confirmed that multiple vehicles were hit. However, the Imam Ali base in the area may have been of designated interest as it includes several Iranian military elements. Additionally, it’s reported that a new shipment of missiles arrived from Iran at the end of the week.

Between the four strikes that occurred in January, several dozen pro-Iranian fighters were killed in addition to the destruction of weapons and military structures such as munition warehouses, tunnels, and various military vehicles. Each of the strikes took place nearly one week apart from each other.

Saturday night’s series of attacks amounted to 15 total airstrikes.

Again keep your eyes on the Middle East, including the face that Fake President Biden sent in troops to Syria. Military Industrial complex needs war for their success. JUST MY OPION.

Iran and Turkey Pursue Renewed Relationship Following Departure of Trump Administration @BeholdIsrael.org

The two countries are committed to strengthening their ties following the transition out of the Trump era; Iran’s foreign minister visited Turkey late this week to discuss several matters; Turkey’s foreign minister calls on the Biden administration to withdraw Trump era sanctions.

Amid the reality of a new US administration, the Iranian regime and Turkey are motioning to re-solidify their relationship, ultimately involving other nations moving forward. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif visited Turkey this week and met with several Turkish officials belonging to the Foreign Ministry to discuss regional stability.

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that within Zarif’s visit, “all aspects of our bilateral relations will be discussed and views on regional and international issues will be exchanged.”

The Trump administration expressed willingness to work with the Turkish government over the last four years, putting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime in a difficult position regarding his relationship with the Iranians. In contrast, the White House emphasized a ‘maximum pressure’ campaign towards the Islamic Republic over the last four years following the US decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.

According to Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, “Turkey hopes that the newly elected Biden administration in the U.S. will return to the nuclear agreement with Iran and withdraw sanctions on the Iranian people.” In essence, in the last four years, Turkey has been torn between protecting its relationship with Iran and leveraging its diplomatic relations with the US.

UPDATE: Twin suicide bombs rocked a busy market in central Baghdad on Thursday morning, killing at least 28 people and injuring 73 others, a security official told CNN.

Not my favorite source, but under Biden Middle East becomes a powder keg again.
