The world is gearing up for the 2024 Summer Olympics as the July 26 opening ceremony in Paris, France, approaches. Athletes from Israel, however, are facing increasingly violent threats and will receive additional security from armed Shin Bet agents. The increased security stems from very public anti-Israel protests in Paris as well as specific, violent online threats directed at the athletes. According to The Jerusalem Post: Walla reported that, over the weekend, Israeli athletes received online messages written in poor Hebrew. Many also received calls from foreign numbers. On Thursday and Friday, 15 athletes and their teams received identical death threats via email, warning them they would be killed if they arrived in France, Walla reported. The email also referenced the Munich 1972 Olympics, telling the athletes to “Prepare for the intifada!” During the “Munich Massacre,” eight Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorists breached the Olympic Village at the ’72 Summer Games and entered an apartment complex housing Israeli athletes. The terrorists murdered two members of the Israeli team in the Village before taking nine others hostage and demanding the release of 234 Arab prisoners from Israeli jails. After a 23-hour standoff, all of the hostages were killed. In the lead-up to the games, pro-Hamas protestors have flooded Paris, demanding Israel be banned from participating. Amir Tsarfati: Netanyahu together with rescued abductees and families of current hostages took off this morning to Washington DC. He will deliver a speech in front of both houses of C [Starts at about the four-minute mark.] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed in the United States on Monday, with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both absent to greet him upon arrival. The Consul General of Israel in New York Ofir Akunis was reported to have been among the people who greeted Netanyahu after his plane had landed, according to the Times of Israel. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was also notably not present to greet Netanyahu upon his arrival in the U.S. Netanyahu’s arrival comes ahead of his speech before Congress on Wednesday. In June, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-KY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) released a letter inviting Netanyahu to speak before a joint meeting of members of the United States House and Senate. Harris and the Senate President Pro-Tempore Patty Murray (D-WA) have reportedly refused to preside over Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) previously stated that he would “not attend” the speech given by Netanyahu, whom he described as a “war criminal.” Several sources told Axios in June that House Democrats had been discussing holding counter-programing to Netanyahu’s speech. Amir Tsarfati: House Speaker Mike Johnson speaking live now slams Kamala Harris' boycott of Netanyahu's speech: I stand and support Israel. Amir Tsarfati: 5 bodies of possible abductees were rescued from Gaza. Now they are being examined for their exact identity. In a significant move, the Israeli Knesset has approved two bills in their first readings aimed at severing ties with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and declaring it a terrorist organization. The first bill, sponsored by MK Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Beitenu) and others, proposes to officially declare UNRWA a terrorist organization and end all relations between Israel and the agency, both directly and indirectly. The bill passed its first reading with 50 MKs in favor and 10 opposed. The second bill, sponsored by MKs Ron Katz (Yesh Atid), Dan Illouz (Likud), and others, aims to revoke the immunities and privileges currently held by UNRWA and its workers under the United Nations Immunities and Privileges Ordinance of 1947. This bill passed its first reading with 63 MKs in support and six opposed. MK Katz highlighted the financial implications, noting that UNRWA currently enjoys tax exemptions and occupies vast lands without paying the Israeli government. He argued, “Right under our noses sits an organization that, according to intelligence reports and proven evidence, is, for all intents and purposes, a terror organization.” Amir Tsarfati: Amir Tsarfati: July 27, 2024 President Biden is set to announce major Supreme Court reforms on Monday.

https://t.me/s/beholdisraelchannel Q&A With Amir Tsarfati & Pastor Barry Stagner:
Benjamin Netanyahu Lands in U.S., Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Absent to Greet Him:
“It is outrageous to me and inexcusable that Kamala Harris is boycotting [Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech]. Kamala Harris will abandon her seat. She will not be there because she refuses to attend. She needs to be held accountable for that. The idea that [Democrats] are making political calculations when our ally is in such dire straits, fighting for its very survival... is unconscionable to us.”

The Lebanese Shiite cleric who lives in the Gulf, Muhammad Ali al-Husseini, wrote an open letter to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah yesterday in the Saudi newspaper Okaz under the title "Nasrallah... Be aware so you don't say later if I knew." In the article, Al-Husseini, who serves as the secretary general of the Arab Islamic Council in Lebanon, writes that for ten months villages in southern Lebanon have been facing daily destruction, people are killed, crops are burned and people are displaced without any horizon or benefit for Lebanon or its citizens: "If all the Lebanese are asked, they will say Unanimous - 'Stop, we don't want a war in which we have no interest and we have no interest or benefit in it.'"
