POST SHABBAT WAR UPDATE

Avi Abelow

Israel is currently engaged in a war like no other, a multi-front battle across the Middle East, coordinated by Iran and fought through its vast network of terror proxies. But what our enemies envisioned as Israel’s moment of collapse is fast becoming their strategic disaster.

From Gaza to Yemen, from Lebanon to Tehran, Israel is not just surviving, we’re dismantling an empire of terror, over two years. And in doing so, we are exposing the deeper battle for the future of the Middle East.

GAZA
This week, the IDF officially ended its daily tactical pause, signaling the beginning of a relentless new phase to destroy Hamas once and for all and take full control over Gaza.

In a targeted strike, Israel also eliminated Hamas’ spokesperson, a central figure in the terror group’s propaganda campaign. And in a tragic but crucial operation, our soldiers retrieved the bodies of two hostages murdered by Hamas on October 7th. Their return gives their families the dignity of closure.

Forty-eight hostages now remain in Gaza. Israel will not rest until every one of them is brought home.

YEMEN
Let’s be crystal clear:
Israel did not attack Yemen. Yemen, as a fully integrated Iranian proxy, chose war with Israel, continuously launching ballistic missiles at our population centers, all with the singular goal of mass civilian death.

This Houthi threat in Yemen is no joke, as they have an army of hundreds of thousands, in addition to their ballistic missiles.

Israel’s response over the weekend was surgical.
In a devastatingly precise strike, Israel eliminated the upper leadership of the Houthis:

– Prime Minister
– Head of the Political Bureau
– Ministers of Welfare, Agriculture, Economy, Justice, Information, and Foreign Affairs
– Government Secretary
– Government Chief of Staff

With their Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff potentially seriously wounded.

This is what happens when a terror state behaves like a terror organization.

LEBANON
Hezbollah is threatening violence if the Lebanese government proceeds to take away their weapons, as Lebanon agreed to do in talks with the Trump administration. And as a senior commander of the Lebanese army recently said, ‘do not expect our Shia soldiers to shoot at their Hezbollah brothers’.

With diplomatic channels now shut and Hezbollah increasing its provocations, the northern front is nearing escalation.

If Hezbollah remains armed on our Northern border, expect Israel to finally militarily destroy Hezbollah and push them out of Southern Lebanon, to provide the necessary security to our Northern border communities. Hopefully, we will go all the way to the Litani River and remain there, as we should have done initially.

IRAN
The international community has reactivated the snapback sanctions mechanism, a long-overdue diplomatic victory for Israel and a crippling blow to Iran.

Even Iran’s foreign minister publicly admitted that another direct confrontation with Israel is inevitable.
Expect the direct confrontation with Iran to continue someday in the near future.

JUDEA & SAMARIA
As I posted on Friday, the Trump administration has officially barred Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority team from entering the U.S. to attend the upcoming United Nations General Assembly. The reason? The PA’s continued financial and political support for terrorism.

This could mark more than a symbolic shift. It may well be the beginning of a broader policy realignment laying the groundwork for U.S. support for Israel to formally apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. After years of international appeasement, reality is setting in: the Palestinian Authority will finally be punished for supporting terror and the destruction of Israel.

That’s all the good news on the current war front.

Now, for the update about the war that nobody is talking about.

The Axis Is Shifting.

As Israel continues to successfully destroy the Iranian Shiite axis, Iran’s partner, Qatar, is busy establishing a new and equally dangerous Islamic axis of evil threat to Israel and the freedom-loving world.

In a recent statement, Israeli Minister Amichai Chikli identified the emerging Sunni Axis of Evil, comprising two dangerous imperial visions:
– Qatar ( Muslim Brotherhood)
– Turkey (Erdogan is also Muslim Brotherhood, interested in re-establishing Ottoman caliphate)
– Syria under the caliphate vision championed by Jolani’s al-Qaeda leadership

These are not isolated actors. With their greatest rival, the Iranian-led Shiite axis of evil, now in ruins thanks to Israel, they are increasingly aligning ideologically and politically around a common goal: to reassert Sunni Islamist dominance across the region and to eliminate Israel as a free, democratic, Jewish state.

Anyone who fails to see this, fails to understand both fundamentalist Islam and the true nature of the Middle East.

CONCLUSION: ISRAEL IS WINNING
While headlines and Jewish pundits scream about Israel potentially taking over Gaza, ultimately, we are not fighting for land. We are fighting for our right to exist, to live in peace, and to protect our people from those who glorify death, and that necessitates taking our land back.

This war is exposing the hypocrisy of our enemies, the strength of our people, and the collapse of an axis that thought we were weak.

As we face this shifting reality, Israel remains the front line of the freedom loving world’s defense.

We will not apologize for doing what we have to do. We will not retreat. We will lead.

And to all those worried about the reporting of this war and the number of Jewish voices, including Rabbis, throwing Israel and the Jewish people under the bus, calling for Israel to end this war, just ignore them.

They lack any real understanding of the evil we’re facing or the military and diplomatic precision required to ensure we never experience another October 7th, while Israel continues to achieve extraordinary things to protect not just itself, but the entire freedom-loving world. So stop believing the mainstream narrative and strengthen your faith in Hashem above.

We are winning this multifront war, and we will win. That victory will necessarily include maintaining a permanent presence in Gaza, southern Lebanon, and southern Syria, not simply because these are our biblical lands, but because reality has made one thing clear: despite every diplomatic effort to avoid it, true security will only be achieved when Israel is sovereign in its God-given homeland.

Things still might take some time, but the process is in full swing.

Be proud of that and share this message.

Am Yisrael Chai.

  1. @EvRe1, I agree with you. The problem caused by Macron and his ilk is not quite as easy to ignore as you are indicating. As more and more countries and people show their support for a Palestinian state, the issues caused by these statements tend to multiply and gain headway. The situation now in many European countries is that Jews and especially Israelis are being attacked by people who think they are right and have the right to do so.

    I’m sure you’ve read articles telling of someone walking the streets of New York or Paris or London with a yarmulke or a star of David (obvious signs of Jewry) being attacked or spit on or other obnoxious activities just because they are or seem to be Jews. Showing an Israeli flag can get you killed or injured. The police in many of the countries alleging to support a Palestinian state are likely to look the other way, much the same as those who refuse to arrest rapists. Judges are also likely to go easy on Islamic shaded criminal offenses.

    Claiming that the declarations of support for a Palestinian state are meaningless and carry no weight is quite true but the fact is that these same states claim that Israel’s activities are against “international law”, for example, settlements in Judea and Samaria. Nothing could be further from the truth, but unfortunately, their claims about international law are akin to the queen in Alice in Wonderland. The law is what she says it is; who cares about the facts? In the case of the agreements witnessed by France or UK or even USA, rather than being ashamed of themselves from making such claims, they double down and insist on their version of the law.

    Case in point: the settlements in J&S. They witnessed the Oslo accords. These agreements divided up J&S into various zones, the most important being A, B & C. A is fully under Israeli control, B is under shared control where Israel is responsible for security while the PA is responsible for civilian issues, C is fully under PA control. Why, do these countries, that actually argued with both sides to hammer out the accords insist that Israel is defying international law when it does anything at all in Zone A, such as building a settlement, destroying an illegal building or keeping the peace? Why do some of these countries provide support for Palestinian building in Zone A and even put up signs on these buildings showing that they were financed by the EU which is 100% illegal and fully against the word and meaning of the accords? The answer is actually quite simple; they intend to upset the accords and give this land to the Palestinians. While doing so, they claim, as mentioned above, that it is Israel that is violating the “international law”.

  2. @dreuveni, yes there are EU members who want to declare a Palestinian state. But suppose they do so, then what? Does their declaring a Palestinian state create one on the ground? Remember Palestinians have always refused a Palestinian state of their own, next to Israel because they want all of Israel and they want the infidels dead.

    So whatever these countries say, their words are meaningless and impotent.

    In addition, France is currently in meltdown: protests from Muslims, protests from the native citizens, everyone is fed up with the French government and with Macron. Macron is desperate. When desperate, Europeans reach for a club with which to beat the Jews. But the “club” Macron has reached for, cannot harm the Jews of Israel. It is a figment of his imagination.

    In fact, the EU is currently in crisis. The EU has caused near collapse of many economies, including that of Germany, which used to be the powerhouse of Europe. With all their green mandates, the EU has brought German manufacturing to its knees. Ursula Von Der Liar has received a no confidence vote. The EU has pushed for digital IDs, vaccination records, mass vaccinations, mass Muslim immigration, and mass pan African immigration, and energy mandates that crush economies. Countries are fighting back: Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands, Slovakia, etc.

    The globalists are struggling to maintain control…..

    As has been noted in other articles, whatever these countries say publicly about Israel, they still behind the scenes buy Israeli products and know how.

  3. This article is great but the front missing here is the foreign front of countries such as the EU members and those who intend to declare (yet again) their support for the non-existent state of Palestine. These countries suggest that they are allies but for some reason are quick to declare embargos on Israel while buying all sorts of useful things from Israel including arms, medical know-how, hi-tech equipment and so on. Do they really expect Israel to accept this behavior long term?
