I just encountered two local Christian Arabs arguing on social media over the identity of Jesus.
One is a "Palestinian" Christian who heads a Bible college. And he insists Jesus was a "Palestinian," through begrudgingly acknowledges that he was born to Jewish parents (however that works).
The other is a young woman, an Israeli Arab Christian, and she was having none of that "Palestinian" nonsense.
Her firm response:
Sadly, so many of those in positions to teach don't know, accept or acknowledge even basic biblical facts. And that's why an entire generation of young Christians is now biblically illiterate.
Thankfully, this young woman was raised on the truth.

"Yeshua was a Jew, with a Hebrew name, a descendent of Abraham and David, that was born in Judea, to fulfill the promise that was given to the people of Israel by the God of Israel.
"He was born to save the Jew first and also the gentile..."

An IDF officer speaks to a Gaza resident about the humanitarian supplies entering the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing.
During the conversation, the resident makes clear that Hamas has a hand in everything. It completely controls the aid administered by UNRWA - the UN refugee agency.
The officer asks: "Didn't you try to talk to the UNRWA people about Hamas stealing the aid?"
At minute 01:31 of the recording, the Palestinian says a key phrase: "Yes, sir, the agency employees are Hamas. The UNRWA officials are Hamas."
That's not surprising, most people knew that. Many UNRWA employees are Hamas terrorists. They are UN officials, receive a salary from the United Nations and look after the interests of Hamas with European funds.
The truth must be told. Here you can hear it first hand.

Houthi backfire?
In response to attacks on Red Sea shipping, Israel and its Arab neighbors have established a "Land Bridge" to bring goods from the Port of Dubai, via Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and on to Europe via Israeli and Egytian ports.
Read more here...
So, the Houthi attacks on international shipping, which the group says are aimed at harming Israel, could bring Israel further economic prosperity as a new East-West shipping hub, and bolster ties between the Jewish state and its Arab neighbors.

Lebanese media reports that overnight the IDF bombed the town of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon, destroying a building and killing 3 people.
This was the first strike on Bint Jbeil, a location with some significance to Lebanese in relation to past conflicts with Israel.
Lebanese media is calling this a clear escalation by Israel and an attempt to provoke a larger conflict.
For Israelis, the opposite is true.
Ongoing Hezbollah cross-border attacks, including yesterday's missile strike on a Galilee church, are the real escalation and provocation.

A bird's-eye view of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.
Not much to come home to after the war.
Beit Lahia is situated very close to the northern border of Gaza and the Israeli towns on the other side. It was one of the locations from which Hamas launched its barbaric invasion of southern Israel on October 7.
