Oleksiy Goncharenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, tells the European Parliament the simple truth in the clearest way possible!

Interesting analysis. I don’t take issue with any of it. But have you factored in a pre-tribulation rapture after which ALL Christians will disappear in a single instantaneous “shout”. The DEAD in Christ rising first - then all who are alive and remain will meet them “in the air” ?

BREAKING: An explosion in Arlington, Washington D.C., after a black van exploded
Canada backs down: The Canadian Finance Ministry announced the cancellation of plans to impose a tax on digital services from the US to save trade talks with the Trump administration. Last week, the President announced the immediate cancellation of trade talks with Ottawa due to the decision to tax American digital services.
More and more details are now being released:
In its stunning “Operation Red Wedding,” Israel took out THIRTY Iranian generals “in a near-simultaneous blitz” within the first few minutes of the Twelve Day War.
With its most senior generals dead, Iran’s initial response in the war was delayed almost a full 24 hours.
In other words : Operation Rising Lion (the name for the entire 12-day war) began with two operations during the first few minutes of the war: Operation Red Wedding and Operation Narnia. The first designed to eliminate the military leadership and the latter to eliminate Iran’s top nuclear scientists.
OPERATION RED WEDDING
OPERATION NARNIA
Operation Red Wedding: How Israel Executed A ‘Game Of Thrones’ Style Covert Massacre On Iran’s Elite Operation Red Wedding was designed to crush Iran’s military leadership in one fell swoop, denying them the ability to coordinate a retaliatory strike. Simultaneously, Israeli jets and drones were tasked with dismantling missile launchers and nuclear sites to cripple Iran’s future capabilities.
The Pace of Progress of Gideon’s Chariots
Currently, the IDF controls about 60% of the Gaza Strip’s territory. During this time, the IDF captured roughly 25% of the Strip’s territory that wasn’t under its control at the start of the operation. There was a slowdown during the war with Iran due to the diversion of forces from Gaza to secure the borders.
In joint operations conducted by the Israeli Navy, the Intelligence Directorate, the ISA, and the Southern Command over the past few months and during Operation “Gideon’s Chariots”, six senior terrorists from the naval commando unit of the Hamas terrorist organization were eliminated.
The terrorists who were eliminated had planned terror activities at sea against Israeli civilians and security forces during the “Swords of Iron” War. Several of the eliminated terrorists were involved in planning the brutal massacre of October 7th.
As part of the ongoing combat efforts led by the Southern Command, the IDF and the ISA are operating against Hamas’ naval force, thwarting numerous terror targets — including naval vessels, weapons storage facilities, and other related Hamas assets.

Trump Continues His Global Order - Periodic Situation Review
Global Trade and Energy Shift
Trump persists in relocating global manufacturing from China to the U.S., primarily through tariffs. Last night, he imposed a 15% tariff on Israel, aligning with tariffs on the EU, Japan, and South Korea.
The major confrontation with China continues: Trump initially raised tariffs to 34%, later escalated to 145%, but then backtracked. Currently, there’s an economic ceasefire and ongoing talks.
Trump also keeps pressuring/enticing the other major Eastern economies—Russia and India.
The global trade route from India through Saudi Arabia and Israel (northern Gaza) to Europe will play a pivotal role in this arrangement.
Ending the Russia-Ukraine War
Trump demands an end to this war, setting a deadline for August 8. This is crucial for his image as a global “peacemaker” and to highlight the Biden administration’s failure to resolve it.
Economically, it will stabilize global energy markets, lower prices, and reduce U.S. inflation. It will also allow Europe to redirect resources from military spending to consumption.
Trump hopes a deal will secure Russia’s cooperation against China and Iran.
Middle East and Expanding Abraham Accords
Trump began his global order restructuring here. Agreements reached in Riyadh and Gulf states await the end of the Gaza war.
Israel eliminated Iran, the primary threat, for him, and he expresses gratitude.
However, Qatar, after 20 years of investment in Gaza, resists relinquishing control and hardens Hamas’s stance to halt the war. This week, Qatar (successfully) launched a starvation campaign. Witkoff, representing Qatari interests, tries to square the circle and rushes to the region.
The victims of Qatar’s obstinacy are our hostages.
Meanwhile, Trump quietly dismantles a major obstacle in the former Shia axis, shifting Syria and Lebanon from Iranian-Russian to U.S. control. Israeli minister Dermer met Syria’s foreign minister; the U.S. aids Lebanon’s government in disarming Hezbollah. Israel, via Azerbaijan, negotiates with Turkey on Syrian control, including northern Syria and the Kurds.
Threats of Palestinian State Recognition
Not a diplomatic setback, nor a crisis. It’s leverage used by countries feeling ignored by the U.S. to pressure it. This week, Trump “pocketed” ~$90 billion annually from EU import tariffs. He’s taking control of Lebanon, sidelining France’s influence there. France and Macron have significant interests in Lebanon’s gas deals (recall Lapid-Macron gas agreement talks).
They know Trump is Israel’s “friend” and believe threatening with an international Palestinian recognition gives them leverage. Trump’s response yesterday—mocking Canada’s PM (“wow…”) and imposing sanctions on PLO leaders for the first time in years—signals they should stop interfering. They know their move has no real impact beyond declarations.
Who still doesn’t get it? Israeli media, which launched a chorus of “diplomatic collapse” laments.
Trump’s Progress
Trump advances his plan with minor delays. He hasn’t yet tackled the “tough nut”—China. He has about a year to complete his moves (and win a Nobel Prize). U.S. midterm elections are in November 2026, and everything must be finalized by then.
Coincidentally, this aligns with Israel’s election timeline, syncing the political clocks of the two friends—Netanyahu and Trump.

The Arab country that helps Gaza the most – and it’s not Qatar
Alongside Qatar, which continues its diplomatic and economic activity with Hamas, it is actually Israel’s friend, the United Arab Emirates, that leads on the ground in terms of direct and extensive humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip since the start of the war. Here are the figures:
• The UAE has invested more than $1.5 billion in aid.
• 2,630 patients were evacuated from Gaza for medical treatment in hospitals in the UAE.
• 5,575 trucks, 656 flights, and 17 ships transported aid from the UAE to the Gazans.
• Over 78,000 tons of equipment and food from the UAE were distributed in the Gaza Strip.
• 72,280 medical treatments were provided on the ground, including at a field hospital and a floating hospital off Al-Arish.
• The UAE funded six water desalination stations, 30 community kitchens, and 30 medical laboratories.
Why? The UAE operates from a strategy of regional visibility, publicized humanitarian influence, and creating a political-administrative alternative to Hamas in front of the Palestinian street, all without direct confrontation with the terrorist organization.
BREAKING: The United States has given Israel the green light to initiate ‘powerful military actions’ in Gaza, and likely to annex / indefinitely occupy parts of the Gaza Strip!
Israeli political official to NPR radio:
“In recent hours, we sent a letter to President Trump informing him that all Hamas leaders outside of Gaza will soon be eliminated.”
Defense Minister Katz: I have formulated my position regarding the security and political steps Israel must take to ensure the achievement of the war’s objectives. I will present it today to Netanyahu, and then to cabinet ministers.
“Hamas’ defeat in Gaza, along with creating the conditions for the hostages’ return, are the central goals of the war in Gaza, and we must take all necessary actions to achieve them.
At the same time, we must ensure the safety and security of Israeli communities by maintaining a permanent IDF presence in a peripheral security zone in key positions in Gaza, from which attacks on communities and weapons smuggling into Gaza can be prevented—such as the Ridge 70, which I visited today.
Once the political leadership makes the necessary decisions, the military echelon—as it has done in every theater of this war so far—will professionally carry out the policy that is set. My role as defense minister, responsible for the IDF, is to ensure that this happens—and that is what I will do.”
