Events ever move forward- as we watch the signposts.

Gazans who sped north are deciding on their own to go back south

Prophecy indicates Israel will prevail and the area will be for lesser cattle

For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. (Zep 2:4-6)

Trump Plans To Finally Withdraw US Troops From Syria, Israelis Say

However, the Trump White House itself has yet to confirm this, but is likely in talks with regional states, particularly Turkey and close Washington ally Israel, about such a potential move.

Kan reported Tuesday that "senior White House officials conveyed a message to their Israeli counterparts indicating that President Trump intends to pull thousands of US troops from Syria."

The Israeli reported added that "the withdrawal of American forces from Syria will raise significant concerns in Tel Aviv." Israeli leaders see the US presence in northeast Syria as a stabilizing factor. Special forces, among some 2000 total troops have been advising and supporting the Syrian Kurds (SDF/YPG) for several years.

Just prior to Trump taking office, Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin defended the US presence there as part of the 'counter ISIS' mission. US defense leaders have constantly argued over the years that the Islamic State could be resurgent if the Pentagon leaves.

But others would argue that Washington was among the biggest facilitators in the rise of ISIS, given that John Kerry once admitted that the US was trying to 'manage' ISIS in order to pressure Assad out.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has said in the wake of Assad's shock ouster in early December, "We will not allow hostile forces to establish a foothold in the security zone south of Syria, from here to the Sweida-Damascus axis. We will act against any threat."

Trump stretching back to his first administration had been more brutally honest about what American forces are really doing there, to the embarrassment of US intelligence and defense leaders, and deep state insiders. For example here's what Trump told FOX years ago: "I left troops [in Syria] to take the oil. I took the oil. The only troops I have are taking the oil. They're protecting the oil. I took over the oil". -Trump on Fox News

This in turn was used as an economic noose against Assad, but in reality it has been strangling the common populace of Syria, who might see one hour of electricity a day during winter conditions.

Time will tell whether he finally pulls American forces, also given the supposed 'Iran threat' is no longer a reality in HTS-ruled Syria. Even Russia is fast pulling its forces from military bases on the coast, with much gear being reportedly relocated to eastern Libya.

We know this will be a hok to bring Russia Down - Ezekiel 38.

UN chief warns against Israeli annexation of Judea, Samaria

The United Nations secretary-general warned Wednesday that Israel may try to apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria during President Donald Trump’s second term in office and could effectively maintain control over the Gaza Strip without formally annexing the territory.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, UN chief Antonio Guterres expressed mixed feelings regarding the truce in the Gaza Strip between Israel and the Hamas terror organization, saying he is currently “optimistic about the situation” while adding it is unclear if the ceasefire will hold through all three of its planned phases.

Guterres warned that Israel may keep Gaza in “limbo,” preventing the coastal enclave from either self-rule, control by the Palestinian Authority, or administration by an international force.

Inventing the ‘West Bank’

On December 6, 2024, Senator Tom Cotton (Republican of Arkansas) introduced a bill in the Senate to replace “West Bank” in all federal documents with “Judea and Samaria,” noting, “The Jewish people’s legal and historic rights to Judea and Samaria go back thousands of years. The US should stop using the politically charged term West Bank to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel.” His bill matches a House bill introduced earlier this year by Representatives Claudia Tenney, Randy Weber, and Anthony D’Esposito.

We use Judea and Samaria.
