THE EVE OF A SOMBER AND TENSE RAMADAN!

Watching Ramadan. Often causes tensions to escalate between Israel and Palestinians, can cause violence. 

Bubba reports Trump is soon to announce his support for full or partial annex of W. Bank Judea and Samaria. 

They say it may be the tensest Ramadan in years. Starts Friday at sundown. Ahead of this Hamas is pushing for escalation and acts of terrorism in Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

Yesterday in an act of violence in Israel an Israeli Arab drove a car at people waiting for a bus. 13 people were injured. He was killed. It happened near an army base. 

Israel Today: IDF report Says Hamas cannot be managed. Of October 7 it says the military takes responsibility for its shortcomings including failure to act on intelligence that it received hours before. Said the invasion took aim at the countries political leadership which its operates by managing conflicts. Says it is wrong to manage a conflict with an enemy whose goal is your destruction. Says brought its nation to a fantasy.

IDF is preparing for resumption of war with greater force. Plans to deploy 50,000 troops in Gaza. 

Israel and Qatar delegations arrive in Egypt to continue negotiations of Gaza ceasefire deal. Israel officials said they want to continue phase 1 that would release 3 each week in exchange for humanitarian aid and release of Palestinian prisoners. Hamas said the only way for the remaining hostages to be released is a commitment for ceasefire. But it gives more time  for Hamas to rebuild forces. 

Amir Says Hamas rejected the extension of phase 1 and calls to immediate start of negotiations for phase 2. 

Jordan officials said Arab Foreign Ministers are traveling to Washington within weeks to present Trump with a proposal to rebuild Gaza without displacing the Palestinian population. 

China vows to take all countermeasures after Trump imposes additional 10% to the already 10% of tariffs on Chinese imports. Warned this would impact dialogue. 

25% tariffs go into effect on Canada and Mexico intensifying trade war between 2 largest economies. 

From Harbingers Daily: 6G is the global system described in prophecy. 6G with A.I. promoted as a breakthrough in sustainability, efficiency and convenience. But it is a slow progression toward total surveillance and control. 40 years in the making. Many say 6G could kill people. 

Jesus is coming soon to take us to be with Him. 

Tonight is a rare alignment of 7 planets. Visible shortly after sunset, look to the West. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter easily visible to see. While Neptune and Uranus will require binoculars or telescope. Saturn will be the most difficult to see as it will be positioned closest to the sun and may be hard with the glare.

The Gospel and worship music.
