Jim had much to report on, including an update on an important missionary outreach to the Middle East. Here are some highlights from the first half of the broadcast:
–VCY’s “Central Asia Project” is now complete and Jim was pleased to announce that the campaign raised $46,141.55! (For more information, review the Crosstalk program from October 8th.)
–A U.N. Security Council voted 13-0 on Monday to adopt a sweeping U.S.-drafted resolution that codifies President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza and endorses a new international stabilization force and formally recognizes the establishment of a Board of Peace to be chaired by President Trump.
–Hamas has been stockpiling weapons in African nations sympathetic to them.
–Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged the targeted elimination of senior Palestinian Authority officials whom he described as terrorists in every sense of the word.
–Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed Israel’s opposition to a Palestinian state and committed to demilitarize Hamas during his opening remarks at the government meeting this past weekend.
–The IDF announced Thursday that it has uncovered one of the most extensive and sophisticated Hamas tunnel systems discovered to date.
–Iran says it has terminated an agreement signed in September with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Cairo that paved the way for renewed cooperation and relaunching inspections of its nuclear facilities.
–The Pakistani jihad leader Masood Azhar has claimed that he is richer than both Elon Musk an Mark Zuckerberg and that they have no shortage of money for jihad.
–A U.S. Air Force fly-over greeted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as he visited with President Trump at the White House on Tuesday. At the formal dinner, President Trump announced that the U.S. is formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major, non NATO ally.
–The Trump administration is urging Ukraine to sign a new peace proposal by Thanksgiving or risk losing U.S. support.
–On November 18th, the State Department approved the potential sale of the Patriot air defense system sustainment and also related equipment to Ukraine worth an estimated 105 million dollars.
–A video created by a group of Democrats encourages members of the military and intelligence community to refuse “illegal orders” but such orders are not specified. Are they trying to encourage/start a coup?
–A prominent global research center has released a comprehensive report on what it describes as a multi-generational campaign by the Muslim Brotherhood to “transform Western society from within” and covertly infiltrate the United States.
