(Day 787) Swords of Iron – “Arrests”

Chaim starts by talking about how US Ambassador (and general speciel White House envoy to the Middle East) Tom Barrack has recently issued a warning to the Shi’ite militias in Iraq to stay out of any battle in the near future between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

There are signs that an Israeli operation in Lebanon, to wipe out Hezbollah once and for all, is imminent. Chaim says that this is probably what President Trump has summoned Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House to discuss, along with the next phase of the ceasefire in Gaza

Meanwhile, it looks like the remains of another hostage who was murdered in Gaza is about to be released so his family can have a proper funeral for him.

Chaim says it’s sad to see these remains being released, but it’s a necessary part of the process.

Elsewhere, the security situation in Judea and Samaria is deteriorating and the IDF is having to increase its activities there. Chaim says everyone needs to be on their toes, paying attention, staying safe, and standing up for Israel, especially in prayer.

In this context, he quotes Psalms 35:2; Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
