(Day 764) Swords of Iron – “Honorable Burial, and Kristallnacht”

Chaim starts by celebrating the return of the remains of Hadar Goldin after 4227 days being held captive in Gaza. Goldin was killed in action during Operation Protective Edge in 2014 and his dead body was kidnapped into a tunnel by Hamas terrorists.’

Now his family can finally get some closure as he is given a dignified burial in Israel. There are now only 4 hostages whose remains have not been recovered, and the search for them will continue.

In related news, Israel has made it clear that there will not be any Turkish troops deployed in Gaza as part of the international stabilization force, which is necessary for Phase 2 of President Trump’s ceasefire plan.

Elsewhere, Kazakhstan, the former Soviet Republic in Central Asia, has announced that it will be joining the Abraham Accords, joining the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, Morocco and possibly others.

Chaim says it’s great to see peace being chosen over continued war and hate.

At the same time, Israel’s natural gas supplies are attracting interest, raising the likelihood of more countries joining the Abraham Accords in the near to medium-term future.

All of this means a bright future for Israel and there are hundreds of thousands of Jewish people and also several large international corporations in Western countries who are interested in immigrating to Israel and setting up operations here. Chaim says that the Aliyayh Return Center will do its part to help these people, in accordance with Biblical prophecy.
