                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">‘No Israel’ Without Trump?: Mr. President, God Isn’t Looking For A Partner To Share His Glory:</span></strong></p>
<p><em>“Tell you what, if there wasn’t me, there would be no Israel right now”</em><span>… Those were the words of President Trump in an interview on Wednesday.</span></p>
<p><span>Very respectfully, I want to say to the President of the United States: </span><em>Mr. Trump, you’re wrong.</em></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I understand the instinct. He moved the United States embassy to Jerusalem when every expert swore that it would set the Middle East on fire. It didn’t. He tore up a terrible Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal with Iran. He recognized the Golan Heights. He brokered the Abraham Accords. He brought the final Israeli hostages out of the Hamas dungeons in Gaza.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trump has been the best friend that Israel has ever had in the White House—and I say that with no asterisk.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>But Israel doesn’t exist because of any man.</em><span> </span>Not President Trump. Not Prime Minister Netanyahu. Not Ben-Gurion. Not even King David.<span> </span><em>Israel exists because God says it will.</em></p>
<p><span>In Genesis, God made an everlasting covenant with the seed of Abraham. How long is everlasting? It’s forever!</span></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">God isn’t looking for a partner to share His glory. He is looking for servants who understand whose hand—His hand—is really holding up the nation of Israel.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">President Trump: be the friend and be the fighter. Keep doing what no president before you had the courage, the chutzpah, to do. But when the cameras are on, and you have the temptation to say, “it’s all about me,” give the credit back to the One it really belongs to.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default"><span style="font-size: 14pt">It’s time to say it: Gaza’s population must go:</span></h1>
<p><span>The expulsion of Gaza’s population is not a war crime waiting to happen. It is the only serious, honest, permanent solution to a problem that October 7 made impossible to ignore, and that another October 7 will make impossible to forgive.</span></p>
<p><span>Gaza has told the world exactly what it is. Its schools teach children that Jews are subhuman. It’s television programs, such as “Pioneers of Tomorrow,” aimed at preschoolers, that instruct toddlers to stab and shoot Jews, and promise them that an Islamic caliphate will one day rule the earth. Its founding charter calls for the extermination of every Jew. It also calls Gazans “the Great Ones” (Master Race), and thus differs little from the Hitler Youth...  On October 7, 2023, it acted on all of it: torture, slaughter, kidnapping, and then street celebrations with candy while Jewish families burned. And then Gaza promised to do it again.</span></p>
<p><span>When Hamas slaughters Jews for being Jewish, that’s a hate crime. When Israel removes a population that has repeatedly proven it cannot live alongside Jews without murdering them, that is reasonable, necessary, and lawful self-preservation.</span></p>
<p><span>Relocation — with free transportation, financial assistance, and one-way passage to any of the countries that have spent two years loudly proclaiming their love for the Palestinian cause. Spain has recognized a Palestinian state. Ireland, Norway, Belgium, Turkey, and Australia also seem to like the Palestinians. That is exactly where Israel should send them.</span></p>
<p><span>Polls taken after the massacre showed majority support among Gazans for what was done. The mothers who cheer their sons’ “martyrdom” on camera are not a fringe. The father caught on film goading his young boy to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers — hoping one would shoot his child and produce a propaganda image — is not an aberration. Gaza has spent a generation turning child-raising into an ideology, and that ideology is murder.</span></p>
<p><span>To truly fix this would require what Germany required after 1945: tearing out every institution, rewriting every curriculum, and in some cases separating children from the adults poisoning them. The world would never allow Israel to attempt it. This is precisely why relocation is not an extreme option. It’s the moderate one, and the only one available.</span></p>
<p><span>Gaza’s population must go, peacefully, with assistance, but permanently, somewhere that is not next to the Jewish state or the United States. </span><span>That’s not a controversial conclusion. It’s just an honest one.</span></p>

<p><span>President Donald Trump personally intervened Monday to stop Israel from carrying out a significantly larger military operation against Iran after warning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu further escalation could leave Israel confronting Tehran without American backing, multiple U.S. and Israeli media report.</span></p>
<p><span>Trump... sought to prevent the confrontation from expanding into a broader regional conflict.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">According to Axios, Trump first<span> </span><a class="x5l" href="https://www.axios.com/2026/06/08/israel-iran-shooting-trump-ceasefire" target="_blank" rel="noopener external">spoke</a><span> </span>with Netanyahu on Sunday night after Iran launched missiles at Israel and pressed the Israeli premier to avoid a wider military response. Trump reportedly maintained that diplomacy could still succeed within days and that broader military action risked disrupting ongoing negotiations.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Netanyahu countered that failing to respond would signal weakness and allow Iran to impose a new deterrence framework linking Israeli operations against Hezbollah with direct Iranian retaliation.</p>
<p><span>Following consultations with senior military and security officials, Netanyahu authorized Israeli strikes overnight and again Monday morning targeting Iranian air-defense systems, missile-related infrastructure, and facilities linked to Tehran’s military capabilities.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Trump said he warned Netanyahu that expanding the conflict risked leaving Israel without American support if the confrontation spiraled into a broader regional war.</p>
<p class="a9d-pre">“I said, ‘Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon,'” Trump told Axios.</p>
<p><span>In a video statement Monday evening, Netanyahu confirmed Israel was holding its fire against Iran while warning that any renewed attack would trigger a forceful response.</span></p>

<p><span>Iran</span><a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-june-7-2026/?utm_source=Breaking+News&amp;utm_campaign=breaking-news-2026-06-07-3837743&amp;utm_medium=email" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span> </span><span>launched</span></a><span> a ballistic missile attack targeting northern Israel following Israeli airstrikes in Beirut. The attack prompted widespread security measures across Israel, including the cancellation of classes nationwide, as officials prepared for the possibility of additional strikes.</span></p>
<p>So far, missile alerts have sounded hundreds of times across Israel as Iran has launched at least five separate rounds of missile fire. Approximately six waves of ballistic missiles from Iran have been detected.</p>
<p><span>The latest escalation began after Israel carried out airstrikes against targets in southern Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold. Israeli officials said the strikes were conducted in response to recent Hezbollah attacks against northern Israel, including missile launches that threatened Israeli civilians.</span></p>
<p><span>While diplomatic efforts continue, the security situation on the ground continues to deteriorate. The renewed violence threatens to derail ongoing discussions between Washington and Tehran and raises fresh concerns about the possibility of a prolonged regional war involving Iran, Hezbollah, Israel, and potentially other actors throughout the Middle East.</span></p>
<p><span>This is a developing story.</span></p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default"><span style="font-size: 14pt">Israeli flags and Hatikvah on the Temple Mount signal a new reality:</span></h1>
<p><span>A small group of Jewish worshippers stood near the Dome of the Rock on Sunday morning, unfurled seven Israeli flags, and sang </span><em>Hatikvah</em><span>, Israel’s national anthem. The scene would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. For decades, even minor displays of Jewish national expression on the Temple Mount were met with immediate intervention by police. This time, the participants remained on the site, sang openly, and completed the demonstration without being removed.</span></p>
<p><span>The Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site, has witnessed a dramatic increase in Jewish visitors in recent years. The sight of Jews ascending the mount, praying quietly, bowing, and now publicly displaying Israeli flags reflects a significant shift in enforcement policies at the site.</span></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The event took place shortly after the Temple Mount was reopened to Jewish visitors following a four-day closure for a Muslim holiday. Video footage circulating on social media showed approximately 10 Jewish worshippers carrying 7 Israeli flags near the Dome of the Rock before singing<span> </span><em>Hatikvah</em>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those displaying the flags were not removed from the compound. According to participants and Temple Mount activists, enforcement authorities acted in accordance with policy changes implemented under National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rabbi Elisha Wolfson, head of the Temple Mount Yeshiva, welcomed the development.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It is a great joy to see the process of the return to Zion growing stronger, and to witness the many advances on the Temple Mount,” Rabbi Wolfson said. “There is no doubt that the minister is carrying out a genuine revolution.”</p>
<p><span>The display quickly drew international criticism. </span></p>
<p><span>The debate over flags, prayer, and sovereignty on the Temple Mount is ultimately about the future of Jerusalem itself. Sunday’s demonstration was carried out by only a handful of worshippers, but the image of Israeli flags waving beside the Dome of the Rock captured a reality that would have astonished previous generations. The policies established in the aftermath of the Six-Day War are being tested, challenged, and redefined. Whether welcomed or condemned, the events on the Temple Mount demonstrate that the status quo is no longer standing still.</span></p>

<div class="widget__subheadline">
<p>The American president is apparently none too pleased that Israeli actions in Lebanon have threatened to blow up his peace talks with Iran.</p>
</div>
<div id="utm_campaign">President Donald Trump's tolerance for allied actions that undermine America's negotiations with Iran may have reached its limit.</div>
<div class="body js-expandable clearfix js-listicle-body  css-listicle-body-2676985163" data-headline="Trump boxes Netanyahu's ears over Lebanon offensive, calls him 'f**king crazy': Report">
<div class="body-description" data-rm-calc-width="900">
<p>Negotiators representing the U.S. and Iran<span> </span><a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/iran-deal-trump-us-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared poised</a><span> </span>last week to advance the cause of peace between their respective nations, extend the fragile ceasefire that first went into effect in April, and open the Strait of Hormuz again to trade.</p>
<p><span>Within hours of the president expressing optimism about resolving the </span><a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-economic-pain-deepens-disapproval-trump-hits-new-high" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unpopular conflict</a><span> that is now in its 13th week — the peace talks began to quickly unravel.</span></p>
<p><span>Iranian state media and government officials </span><a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/iran-reportedly-backs-out-of-peace-talks-over-israeli-attack-but-trump-says-thats-fine-with-him-we-talk-too-much" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicated</a><span> that Tehran was backing out of the talks largely over Israel's offensive in Lebanon and the escalations in Beirut that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had </span><a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://x.com/netanyahu/status/2061338803462078644?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a><span> earlier in the day.</span></p>
<p><span>One of the U.S. officials claimed that Trump was aware of Hezbollah's attacks on Israel and the Jewish state's need to defend itself but was still convinced that Netanyahu's recent escalations were disproportionate.</span></p>
<p>Shortly after the call, Netanyahu<span> </span><a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://x.com/netanyahu/status/2061531248573460655?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a><span> </span>he had spoken to Trump and "told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens — Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut. This stance of ours remains unchanged. In parallel, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon."</p>
<p>Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly<span> </span><a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://x.com/itamarbengvir/status/2061513201011831185" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a><span> </span>Netanyahu after the call that "this is the time to tell our friend, President Trump — 'no.' Now is the time to do what is required and necessary to strike Hezbollah, to unleash the hands of our fighters, and to restore security to the north."</p>
