HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the continued atrocities in the West Bank and Gaza as Israeli forces continue to be caught breaking the so-called "ceasefire." In the West Bank, Israeli forces executed two Palestinians at point blank range as they were surrendering, hands up and shirts up showing they were unarmed. All of this was caught on video. In Gaza, another Palestinian photojournalist was among 5 people killed by Israeli forces on Tuesday. Shockingly, footage from Jenin also shows Israeli forces dressed up as doctors, nurses and patients raiding a hospital and executing two Palestinian patients in cold blood which of course blatantly violates the Geneva Convention. Studies show that over 100,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since October 7th. This doesn't scratch the surface considering how many were killed before October 7th. The economy has been completely erased in what the UN calls the "worst collapse ever recorded" as the GDP has fallen 83%. The cost to rebuild is estimated at around $70 billion. Netanyahu recently claimed that there will "never be a Palestinian state" as the US works with Israel on a plan to annex Palestine despite Trump previously saying that this would not happen. There clearly isn't an actual ceasefire. Meanwhile, as Israel bombs Syria after their proxy revolution utilizing HTS and Jolani who recently visited the White House, US envoys are now threatening Iraq with attacks if they trying to stand in the way of the US and Israel bombing Lebanon where there is also a fake "ceasefire." It's almost like multiple nations are under blackmail to Israel. Perhaps the recent leaked emails showing Epstein as a middleman to Arianne de Rothschild and Ehud Barak for funding of Israeli cyberweapons can shed light on that. As Israel seeks a 20 year military aid deal with the US, NATO is also planning to give $1 billion per month in 2026 to supply Ukraine with weapons against Russia. Putin claims that peace talks have shattered by design and that Russia is ready to fight Europe. Meanwhile, Trump is arranging ground strikes on Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras and Mexico. Is this the peace you claimed voting would bring you? Are you winning yet? This is a joke. And a dangerous one at that... Stay tuned for more from WAM!

In this Advent Week 1 message on Hope, Pastor Ken reminds us that the hope we long for isn't found in circumstances but in the promised Light spoken of in Isaiah. As Israel waited in darkness for a Savior, we learn how to anchor our own waiting in the faithful God who still breaks through with hope today.

On this First Sunday of Advent, Pastor Lisa shares a timely message from Judges 6 titled “Tear Down the Ungodly Altars and High Places.” As Israel cried out under Midian's oppression, God called Gideon to remove the altars that kept the nation in bondage and rebuild a proper altar to the Lord. This message reminds us that every altar represents worship, every altar requires a sacrifice, and hope begins when we tear down what competes with God in our lives. As we enter Advent, may our hearts be fully turned toward Him.

As Israel's conquest of the land concludes in Joshua 11–12, God calls His people to remember His victories, obey His commands, and never forget the source of their blessings. Pastor Matthew used the closing of Joshua's battles to challenge believers to stay humble, thankful, and faithful — not just at Thanksgiving, but every day of life. Opening and Thanksgiving Reflection Pastor began with a prayer of gratitude, urging believers to reflect on the blessings of life and freedom. “May we not get complacent or presumptuous — all we have is today, and that day is a gift from God.” He reminded the congregation that none of us are promised tomorrow, and that gratitude should guard our hearts from pride and forgetfulness. Joshua's Obedience and God's Commands (Joshua 11:12–23) Joshua followed exactly what God commanded Moses, leaving “nothing undone of all the Lord had commanded.” Pastor emphasized that faithfulness means following God's Word, not reinventing it. “You don't get to become a Christian and play by your own rules — God doesn't need your ideas.” Many want to hear God's voice but won't read His Word; yet Scripture itself is the contract between Christ the Groom and His Bride, the Church. Application: God reveals Himself through His Word. If you want direction, open the Book before asking for new revelation. God's Sovereignty and Human Accountability Pastor addressed the difficult truth of divine judgment: God hardened the hearts of nations that continually rejected Him. He compared this to Pharaoh's hardened heart — a consequence of repeated rebellion. “The most fearful verse in the Bible is not in Revelation — it's where it says, ‘The Spirit of the Lord left Samson, and he knew it not.'” The warning: don't resist God so long that conviction disappears. The most terrifying state is when the Holy Spirit withdraws and a person no longer feels remorse. Lesson: “Conviction is a gift — if you can sin without feeling it, something's wrong.” The Nature of Sin and Boundaries of Love Pastor explained that God sets boundaries because He loves us, just as parents set boundaries for their children. From the Garden of Eden onward, sin began when man doubted God's goodness and believed He was holding out on them. “The devil convinced Eve that God was keeping her from something better — that's the same lie today.” Every sin still begins with mistrust of God's intentions. Remembering God's Victories (Joshua 12) God listed all 31 kings Israel defeated — not to glorify Joshua, but to remind the people of every battle God had already won. “When you're in a new fight, remember how many victories God has already given you.” Pastor urged believers to stop panicking in new trials: “You've already watched God feed you, heal you, and deliver you. Don't fall apart now — the same God is still fighting for you.” Forgetting past victories leads to unbelief, which Scripture calls evil, not immaturity. Deuteronomy 8 — The Call to Remember Pastor turned to Deuteronomy 8 to explain why God told Israel to remember: God humbled them in the wilderness to test their hearts, provide manna, and teach them dependence on His Word. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” Their clothes never wore out; their feet never swelled — a sign of constant divine provision. He connected this to modern blessings: “No nation has been as blessed as Israel — except America. But we're in danger of forgetting who made it that way.” The Danger of Forgetfulness and Prosperity When life gets comfortable — full houses, steady income, security — people forget God. He quoted Habakkuk, rebuking Israel for caring for their own houses while neglecting God's. “You'll live better on 90% honoring God than 100% stealing from Him.” Forgetting God leads to pride, and pride leads to destruction. Key Reminder: “When you're full, don't forget who filled your table.” God's Discipline and the Training of Faith Pastor compared spiritual growth to training in a weight room — hardships strengthen believers for future battles. “God's taking you into His gym to build your endurance. He's preparing you for the fourth quarter.” Trials are not punishments but preparation, teaching us dependence and perseverance. The Next Generation and God's Trustworthiness Parents cannot shield children from every hardship. “You can't fight all their battles — God's using those struggles to build them.” He warned against over-sheltering and fear-driven parenting: “Trust God's plan for your children. He's a better protector than you.” Like Jochebed with Moses, sometimes faith means letting go and trusting God's purpose. The Source of Blessing and True Prosperity God alone gives the power to get wealth — to establish His covenant, not to glorify ourselves. “If God doesn't open the door, you won't get anything done. It's His power that gives you ability.” Pastor cautioned against idolatry of money, possessions, or success — anything that displaces God's primacy. Final Exhortation — Do Not Forget the Lord Forgetfulness leads to destruction: “If you forget the Lord and follow other gods, you shall surely perish.” False gods are powerless — Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius remain in the grave, but Jesus is risen. “Until someone else rises from the dead, I'm sticking with the One who did.” The graves will one day burst open as the final testimony of Christ's power, proving again that He is who He says He is. Closing Challenge and Prayer Stop running your own life; it only leads to exhaustion and emptiness. Surrender daily and thank God for every battle already won. “When the next battle comes, don't tell God how big your problem is — tell your problem how big your God is.” The service ended with the Lord's Prayer, sealing the message in gratitude and worship. Core Message Remember what God has already done. Obey His Word — partial obedience is disobedience. Be thankful in every season. Don't forget the Lord who gives life, strength, and blessing. Trust God with your future, your children, and your battles — He never fails.

First Samuel 11 drops God's people into a moment of real vulnerability: a city surrounded, a nation unsure, and a threat far greater than their ability to handle. Yet this chapter showcases a familiar pattern woven throughout Scripture—when human strength runs out, God's deliverance steps in. The events at Jabesh-gilead remind the church today that overwhelming pressures, persistent fears, and seemingly unwinnable battles do not signal defeat. Instead, they highlight the need for the One who rescues, restores, and leads his people forward. As Israel cried out for help, received the salvation only God could provide, and gathered to celebrate his intervention, their story becomes a lens through which to view every modern struggle. This passage invites God's people to anticipate his deliverance, recognize his hand when it arrives, and mark his faithfulness with grateful celebration.

After the golden calf, God tells Israel He will still give them the Promised Land—but He will not go with them. What sounds like mercy becomes “a disastrous word,” because the people finally realize that the true gift was never the land or the blessings, but God's presence. As Israel mourns and Moses intercedes, the question rises with clarity: Do we want God's gifts, or do we want God Himself? Moses models a heart that cries, “If Your presence will not go with us, do not bring us up from here,” calling us to examine what we truly desire—the promise, or the Presence.

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today’s episode. As Israel’s Supreme Court demanded the government justify its reasons for not establishing a state commission of inquiry into the events that led to the October 7 Hamas invasion and massacres in southern Israel, Horovitz discusses how the government’s current approach will not uncover what went wrong, creating a dangerous precedent for the country. The High Court also ordered the government to create effective enforcement measures against ultra-Orthodox draft dodgers, and Horovitz discusses the ruling written by High Court justice Noam Sohlberg, who rebuked the Haredi community and its assertion that Torah study outweighs army service, citing the ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik.

Samuel's farewell address in 1 Samuel 12 demonstrates the power of living with integrity and accountability. As Israel's last judge, Samuel opens himself to public scrutiny, asking if he had wronged anyone during his ministry. The people confirm his blameless character. Samuel then confronts Israel's spiritual rebellion in demanding a human king instead of trusting God's leadership. Despite their rejection of God, Samuel calls them to wholehearted devotion - to fear the Lord and serve Him completely. He reminds them that faithful service should flow from gratitude for God's great works, not from obligation.

As Israel continues its relentless assault on Gaza, killing and starving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with Western backing, even during so-called ceasefires, one thing has become clear: this isn't just about Palestine. It's about Western supremacy, empire, and the racism that underpins them both.To discuss this, Rania Khalek is joined by Dr. Ghada Karmi — academic, physician, and Nakba survivor — who has written powerfully about how Western imperialism, Arab complicity, and Zionism's own contradictions have led us here. Dr. Karmi is a former research fellow at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter and author of many books including “One State: The Only Democratic Future for Palestine-Israel.”She has spent her life exposing the deeper roots of this catastrophe: the colonial mindset that made Palestine disposable, the Western guilt that turned Jewish suffering into Palestinian punishment, and the moral rot that allows genocide to be broadcast live without consequence.

A summer of turmoil and near-total war as Iran and Israel trade shots, as the conflict between the two rivals almost plunges the world into a destructive war and total shutdown of oil trade in the region. As Israel accuses Iran of nearly building a nuclear weapon the US, under President Trump, carries out a strike against nuclear facilities. The first direct American military action carried out against the Islamic Republic. Although there is a pause in fighting for the moment, a new round of fighting is likely to follow, with even worse consequences for the global economy. In the US as well, President Trump passed the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill", which will have far-reaching economic effects, such as cuts to Medicaid and SNAP services.For early ad-free access support the program on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and reporter Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As Israel marks 30 years since the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Schneider reflects on the Saturday night rally held near the square where he was shot and why the annual event commemorating him wasn't held for the last five years. After the frenzied hours on Sunday evening when police searched for and then found IDF legal chief Major General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi alive and well -- the advocate general who resigned last week after admitting to leaking an abuse video at the Sde Teiman military detention facility -- Schneider discusses the complexities of the case, as Tomer-Yerushalmi was often blamed by liberal politicians for not prosecuting enough and conservative lawmakers for putting too much pressure on soldiers. Surkes examines two situations of growing pollution, first in the northern West Bank, where Palestinians often burn garbage, resulting in clean air complaints, and in Hadera, known as Israel's most polluted city because of the massive power station in its midst.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the pummeling of the West Bank with bombs by Israel despite a so-called "ceasefire." As we've pointed out from the beginning, the 7 country plan isn't going to just magically disappear because President Trump signed a peace deal with Israel. Israel continues to create problems in the region and then use these problems as "justification" to drop more bombs. As Israel bombs Lebanon and kills 10 people in 4 days (almost all civilians), they claim bombing Lebanon doesn't break their ceasefire with Lebanon. So what is a ceasefire then? Similarly as predicted, we are seeing Israeli funded lynch mobs whip and beat innocent women and children as marauders storm villages in the West Bank. We are seeing the Israeli government bomb schools, set people's homes on fire with families inside, kill off livestock in large numbers. Netanyahu has said to Haaretz that Israel does not seek US approval for Gaza strikes. Well, obviously... Meanwhile, psychopathic Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir made comments during a security cabinet meeting that if children with donkeys come near the so-called "yellow line," that the Israeli military should shoot and kill them. He said this in an almost joking way, claiming that Israel should be merciless. How are these people considered allies of Christians? Itamar Ben Gvir is also the same person that claimed that now the hostages have been released, they should break all promises, break the truce and turn Palestine to dust. It was never about the hostages. Israel is also establishing what they call 'Project New Gaza' to annex and transform the region. Simultaneously, Israel is sending tanks into Syria after staging attacks in the region following the proxy revolution by pro Israeli Jihadists called HTS, formerly AL Nusra Front. This group which has been funded by Israel overthrew Assad earlier this year, exactly as has been planned down to the detail since the 1980s with government documents showing the step by step plan years ago, including the killing of Alawites and Christians which is exactly what we are currently witnessing with new attacks in Homs. This is all by design. Cause global disruption, come in with larger government restrictions under the guise of emergency orders. First the normalization of war, then devastation, then the new digital system of governance. The same goes for Venezeula, Columbia, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine and the list goes on... Are you prepared?

The Gaza war isn't over yet, it's only paused. As Israel's Defense Minister orders a new plan to defeat Hamas, global leaders weigh in on the fragile ceasefire. President Trump warns that Israel could resume operations “as soon as I say the word,” while Egypt hosts the next phase of his peace plan focused on disarmament and a technocratic Palestinian government. Meanwhile, twenty hostages have been freed, nine bodies returned, and Gaza experiences its first day without Israeli forces. But with tensions rising and Hamas still holding out, peace hangs in the balance. In this episode, we break down: Israel's next military and political moves Trump's new Middle East peace strategy The role of Egypt, Turkey, and the U.S. in Gaza What the future may hold for Israel, Hamas, and the region

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, no, PM Benjamin Netanyahu didn't prolong the Gaza war for personal political gain, these claims overlook the strategic benefits of his persistence. Netanyahu has accepted a Trump-brokered deal on his stated terms: full hostage release, dismantling of Hamas's military and governance, and Israeli troops remaining to enforce it, with U.S. backing if needed. The left dismisses this as impossible, but Netanyahu's refusal to settle earlier allowed Israel to achieve key victories ultimately securing better terms than Hamas's prior demands for full Israeli withdrawal. Also, Hamas refuses to disarm, disband, or leave Gaza, instead conducting mass executions against rival clans, militias, and suspected Israeli spies while controlling aid distribution. As Israel withdraws from certain areas, Hamas is filling the resulting vacuum, and it raises questions about the role of Arab and Muslim countries in the planned phase two to take control. Prolonged chaos may force Israel to re-engage, which may end up in more IDF deaths. Later, Democrats are employing Marxist-Leninist propaganda tactics, such as personalizing boogeymen, centralizing power, restricting freedoms, packing the Supreme Court, and altering the citizenry via immigration for political gain. “On Power" explains negative repetition as a technique exploiting the mere exposure effect to foster familiarity and acceptance of falsehoods, eroding reason, moral clarity, and independent thought. The left uses sloganeering and symbols as tools for manipulation, conformity, and groupthink. This language from power-hungry malcontents pursues utopian ideologies that crumble societies.

As Israel's government voted on ratifying the first phase of a U.S. plan for peace in Gaza on Thursday, senior Hamas official Khalil Al-Hayya said Hamas has received guarantees from the U.S., Arab mediators and Turkey that the war has permanently ended. Israeli ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed says he's hopeful that the war has concluded, 'but with Hamas we can never trust.' Plus, Unifor national president Lana Payne says she's 'extremely worried' about what she saw from the Carney government in Washington this week, saying Canada's push for fast sectoral deals allows U.S. President Donald Trump to 'pit one sector in Canada against another.'

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said that diplomatic and military pressure have forced Hamas to agree to free the hostages it is holding. As Israel and Hamas prepare to take part in indirect talks in Cairo, Mr Netanyahu thanked Donald Trump for his peace plan.Also in the programme: protests in Georgia; and 50 years of the Rocky Horror Show.(Picture: Hostages Square 2-Year Rally - a large banner reads: 'It's Now or Never' - displayed in response to Trump's Gaza peace plan to end the war and the return of all the remaining hostages: The rally was held at Hostages Square to mark two years since the October 7 attacks.

Israel's Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu visits the White House later today, as details from the Trump administration's 21-point plan to end the war were revealed over the weekend. As Israel continues its offensive in Gaza City, Netanyahu has vowed to ‘finish the job' against Hamas and shows little sign of making concessions to end the war. Netanyahu has a proven history of getting what he wants from US presidents – so will the same happen at Monday's meeting?Today we speak to the BBC's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet who has reported on Netanyahu for three decades.Producers: Sam Chantarasak, Xandra Ellin, Aron Keller and Cat Farnsworth.

On September 17, 2025, Israel announced that the world's first laser defense system was ready for deployment, and was being integrated into its multitiered missile-defense shield. Iron Beam may be the most significant advance in missile defense since Israel pioneered the concept of intercepting missiles with missiles back in the 1980s. That's because Iron Beam promises to solve one of modern warfare's most vexing problems: the economic asymmetry of defense. When a crude, unguided rocket costing a few thousand dollars must be stopped with an interceptor costing between $50,000 and $100,000, the math quickly becomes unsustainable. The scale of rocket, drone, and missile fire into Israel over the last two years, coupled with the yet-unlaunched arsenals that Iran and her proxies have in reserve, would, if each one needed to be defended by traditional interceptors, cripple Israel's economy. But Iron Beam changes that calculus entirely. Rather than the $40,000–$50,000 interceptor, each laser interception costs roughly two dollars—the price of the electricity that powers it. The system has what military officials call an “endless magazine,” capable of firing continuously as long as it has power. It's already battle-tested, shooting down over 40 drones from Lebanon during recent conflicts. But this breakthrough also raises profound questions. Israel's intelligence failures on October 7, 2025 partly stemmed from an overreliance on technological solutions—the belief that smart fences and surveillance systems could replace human judgment and offensive action. As Israel celebrates this remarkable achievement of military innovation, how do we ensure Iron Beam enhances rather than replaces sound strategic thinking? To discuss these questions, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver is joined by Yaakov Katz, former editor of the Jerusalem Post and author of the new book While Israel Slept. Together, they explore what Iron Beam means for Israel's defense, for military cooperation between Israel and America, and the future of warfare.

Ambassador Yechiel Leiter lost his son in Gaza. Out of that devastating loss comes a mission: Hamas must be eliminated, and Israel will emerge stronger than ever. As Israel's top diplomat in the U.S., Leiter says this is a turning point for the Middle East. With leaders like Prime Minister Netanyahu standing firm, and President Trump's bold stand for Israel on the world stage, Leiter sees the hand of history moving.  The path is clear: victory over terror, strength for Israel, and a new Middle East built on peace through strength. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WATCH Stakelbeck Tonight episodes for free on TBN+ here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Stakscast with Erick Stakelbeck podcast features host Erick Stakelbeck and special guests having candid, thought-provoking conversations on the state of America, the world, and the Church, plus powerful personal testimonies and stories.

As Israel’s Gaza City offensive intensifies, the lack of a “fully articulated policy” on the part of Donald Trump’s White House means that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can move ahead with a “blank check” from the U.S., said Haaretz Washington correspondent Ben Samuels, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast. The message from Trump officials to Israel is “do what you need to do, just get it over with fast,” while in public statements, they have shifted to align with Israel’s “all-or-nothing” approach to a hostage deal. “Trump is not giving Israel a red light,” Samuels said. “To Israel, that means a green light.” On the podcast, Samuels analyzed the dramatic shifts in both the Republican and Democratic parties regarding Israel ahead of the 2026 midterms, predicting that the upcoming election will “be the one where Israel becomes a top-tier front-of-mind issue that could really divide voters and could really sway races one way or another” in both of the parties. With the GOP in particular, he noted, “a growing number of mainstream Republicans, along with the isolationist MAGA wing are openly asking, ‘Why are our dollars going to funding a foreign war rather than making the lives better for Americans at home?’” Democrats, he added, “are just not going to take what Israel's saying at face value anymore.” All of this contributes, he said, to the “inflection point” at which American Jews find themselves nearly two years into the Gaza war. “I think we are going to look at this as a foundational shift in how this generation and the next views the U.S.-Israel relationship, as well as the relationship of American Jews to Israel.” Read more: 'They Tend to Die': Trump Says Israel, Hamas May Sign Gaza Cease-fire Deal 'Very Soon,' and Repeated That Some of the Living Hostages May Have Died Trump Says Israel Has Lost Its 'Total Control' of Congress, Is Losing PR War Over Gaza The Dam Has Broken.

As Israel intensifies its campaign to seize Gaza City, more vessels are joining a humanitarian aid flotilla. A Kiwi Palestinian is on board one of the boats.

The LORD causes the warning trumpet to sound again as Assyria waits to scavenge God's people, who are already dead in their idolatry, even though they do not realize it. Israel has been ruled by unauthorized kings, and they worship worthless idols, just as their fathers had once done even at the foot of Mount Sinai. As Israel multiplies their altars, they only multiply their sins. The LORD will not receive their idolatrous worship, for Israel has forgotten that the LORD is her Creator and Redeemer.  Rev. Dr. Roger Paavola, president of the Mid-South District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Hosea 8:1-14.  “Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.

The LORD calls the leaders of His people to account. Although Israel does not know Him, He knows Israel and sees the prideful idolatry that infects both the northern and southern kingdoms. The LORD says that the warning trumpet must sound, for He is bringing His judgment, slowly but surely. As Israel continues to look for help in the wrong places, the LORD promises to return to His place until His people turn to Him in repentance again.  Rev.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. This morning, Hamas released a statement saying that Israel’s military plans to conquer Gaza City show its “blatant disregard” for efforts to broker a ceasefire and hostage release deal in the nearly two-year conflict. As Israel continues to weigh the partial, phased truce proposal accepted by the terror group on Sunday, we hear about the various forms of backlash faced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- for both the Gaza City op and for the possibility of ending the war without achieving all war goals. As a slew of international nations announce their potential readiness to recognize a Palestinian state in September, a recent poll found that a 58 percent majority of Americans believe that every country in the United Nations should recognize Palestine as a nation. The issue of a "two-state solution" couldn't be farther from most Israelis' minds. Horovitz delves into why the flirting with recognizing Palestine -- now, during this war -- is drawing such passion from Israeli leadership, including Netanyahu in his dealings with his Australian counterpart.Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
