Israel's show of strength and it's unwavering commitment to its sovereignty.

Israel has rejected US proposal for a regional summit with the Palestinian authority. The goal was an attempt at a peace arrangement between Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The five party Summit including ministers of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, the United States, Egypt and Jordan. This largely, be seen as a slap in the face to the US administration's attempt, again to appease the Palestinians working towards a two-state solution.

Israel's current stance to bring about a diplomatic initiative was uninterested as it would cause a rise in expectations that could not be met. This in turn would cause an uprising within the West Bank as has happened before under the same conditions.

The last round of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority collapsed in 2014, a few months later a major escalation of violence occurred.

If we remember Israel embarked on a large-scale crackdown in the West Bank after three teenagers were abducted and murdered by terrorists, followed by operation protective edge, a month and a half long clash between IDF and Hamas terrorist group and Gaza Strip.

This lates event is seen as a failed attempt for the Palestinians to pressure the Biden administration to pursue, even demanding that the US reopen their consulate in Jerusalem and has proven to become very upsetting and frustrating to the Palestinian Authority.

Israel's military strikes in Syria seem to be picking up pace. Can we say birthing pains?

Israeli planes reported carrying out a series of strikes south of Damascus early Friday morning. It began about 4 AM with several missiles being fired from Golan Heights toward southern Damascus. This is the second air raid attributed to Israel this week, late Monday night Israel's missiles targeted Syrian army positions, also south of Damascus causing much damage.

The strikes in the suburbs of South Damascus and near the Damascus international Airport south of the city.

If you remember Israeli missiles targeted central Syria on May 13, five were killed including one civilian.

Over the years Israel has staged hundreds of strikes on targets in Syria. The targets being military bases of Iran with most targets allied militias such as Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group. Hezbollah and Syria begin to show signs of joining forces, increasing concerns of Israel.

Israel's pressured again, as Iran plans to increase its ability to rapidly enrich more uranium.

This is seen by the watchdog of the IAEA. This along with Tehran also removing many of their surveillance cameras within its nuclear facilities posing an increase concern of Israel. The inability to be able to monitor what Tehran is doing. Much of what we're seeing here is damping the attempt or the works of continuing the Vienna talks. Another concern of Israel's. They just keep adding up.

All of this is seen as an increased pressure like a blanket of clouds over Israel, and Israel must make up its mind what it's going to do. The point is that we can see decisions will have to be made sooner than later.

From the perspective of and-time prophecies we can see clearly this is an increase in, as we understand them, birthing pains, and is my understanding these birthing pains are getting closer and closer, this will only get worse as time goes on.

Zechariah 12:1-7

12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.

7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
