April 2024 brought history’s first direct Iranian attack on Israel after Israel claimed responsibility for bombing Iranian proxy Houthi assets in Yemen.  Now the US seems to be constantly warning the world about Iran’s next attack now that the leader of Hamas, another one of Iran’s proxies, was killed in the early morning of July 31 by a mysterious bomb planted in his bedroom in Tehran.  Israel has not claimed responsibility.

I suspect the US is using the threat of Iranian attack as a way to motivate Israel to settle a ceasefire deal quickly. And yet the US was evidently not interested in pressuring Hamas to even show up at the meetings for closing the deal.  No public pressure appeared; and in contrast, Hamas very publicly announced their refusal to attend the negotiations this week.  Which begs the question – does Hamas even want a ceasefire?  Why pressure Israel to create a ceasefire that Hamas does not even want?

Henry Kissinger once noted that the US must not push for a peace deal more than the negotiating parties.

Headlines: “Iran attack could come without warning, possibly in the next few days, says US;”

“Even Israel forgot about Iran’s nukes: Sources divided whether Jerusalem prepared to stop Tehran getting the bomb;”

Meanwhile, Arabic cartoonists mock Iran for delays, as well as weak responses to Israel:

So, Israel has sent a delegation of negotiators to Doha, Qatar, in an effort to make deals to release hostages and achieve a ceasefire. It’s the 15th of August, 2024. Here are the main points:

1. Hamas is not even showing up to the talks
2. Israel has sent a delegation to Doha, Qatar, to negotiate
3. USA will be there
4. Israel has altered its demand for hostages*

* The prior deal was that Israel would receive 33 hostages, dead or alive. Now Israel wants 33 living hostages from Hamas.

According to the proposals, Hamas will still get 990 prisoners who have been convicted of crimes they committed.   For the Israeli hostages, their only crime was existing.

Dan Goldfus is tough as nails. Under his command, the IDF’s 98th Division took just ten hours to penetrate Hamas defenses in Khan Younis, but upon reentry last week into Khan Younis, it only took an hour and a half.

They found Hamas leader’s tunnel lair with millions of cash, weapons, and the coffee still hot.  They had missed Yahya Sinwar by mere minutes.

Pray that the leader of Hamas will be located and brought to justice.

300 days is the discussion on Israeli media this morning. Let’s maintain prayer according to 1 Timothy 2 so that kings and leaders will come to Faith in Y’shua.

Israelis have not seen their brother, sister, mother, grandfather, held in captivity 300 days since Oct 7. Reserve soldiers on duty have closed their businesses, lost jobs, or lost life or limb.

Israel scored a victory this week – rather than attack Arab civilians the way Muslims attack Jews, Israel assassinated leaders – one Hezbollah leader in Beirut and the main #1 Hamas leader in Tehran. The current USA administration is only making a hostage deal more impossible as they scold Israel and not Hamas about a ceasefire. Talk like this only emboldens Hamas and Hezbollah- as we saw last Shabbat with the soccer field Iranian missile.

The environment in Israel is similar to that which led up to the Rabin assassination: Full of political smears. However, this time the attacks against the Prime Minister come not only from media and activists, but institutions.

This bears a lot of similarity to the violent environment in US culture which has enabled a serious assassination attempt against candidate Trump less than two weeks ago.

China has hosted talks for Hamas to build unity with Fatah, which ended yesterday.

Backstory: Hamas is an international Sunni Muslim organization with founding documents which commit the organization to the complete destruction of Israel.

Fatah is a Sunni Muslim local organization in control of the Palestinian Authority (PA), based in Ramallah, in Judea & Samaria. Fatah is the current manifestation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) which was exiled from Israel on the basis that it’s purpose of existence was to destroy Israel completely. Under peace agreements, the PLO was brought out of exile under Yasser Arafat, renamed to Fatah, and placed at the head of a formative new state – still committed to the destruction of Israel.

Fatah prefers a slow diplomatic process to destroy Israel, while Hamas prefers a quicker more aggressive path. This is why there have been many fights and disagreements between them.

Plot twist: Iran sponsors Hamas and wants Hamas to switch to Shia Muslim instead of Sunni Muslim.

This war is not simply in the Middle East: Around the world, narcissistic wannabe tyrants are at war against the population.
How convenient for them that Muslims religiously view representative governments as sinful, and are ready to assist the representative governments on their path towards oppression.

This provides the would-be tyrants with the “useful idiots” willing to “burn it all down.”
