Birth pangs

Ever since Bennett has taken office as Israel's PM, I've watched to see how he'd respond to the provocations of Hamas, the Palestinians and Iran's overall influence. He seems to be bolder and more provocative than Netanyahu - who appeared more understanding and preferred stability.

With the increase in sabre rattling lately, this change in leadership may be the difference in seeing inevitable events transpire. Israel seems to know the Ezekiel 38&39 war is on the horizon. They seem to be preparing not only militarily, but also in the allies they're forming. These upcoming meetings with Biden may be something to watch.

I guess all the sabre rattling lately and provocation by Israel was for a reason. Israeli airstrikes have been reported again in Syria, with a reprisal of rocket attacks upon northern Israel from Lebanon.

Bennett continues to demonstrate his ultranationalist stance with his tough rhetoric and sabre rattling. Although he is restrained by his moderate coalition, he does appear more unhinged and perhaps more radical than Netanyahu. As mentioned before, his aggressive stance on Israel's right to exist may be the linchpin to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

This situation in the South China Sea and overall provocations by China in general are also something to keep an eye on.

Another strike being reported in Syria. Not sure if this is related to the one I posted about yesterday. If not, this would be a third strike within Syria within the past few days - not common.

Found the timing of this discovery very interesting, especially in regards to what the coins are about and Israel's current predicament with Iran / Iran's proxies.

“Iran’s aggression in the region generally and on the maritime front, in particular, is intensifying,” Gantz said during a Knesset plenum session. “This is the exact reason that we must act right now against Iran, which not only strives for a nuclear military [program] but also is leading to a dangerous arms race and the crumbling of stability in the Middle East.”

Iran is suspected of hijacking 4 oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. This comes about 2 or so days after an Israeli tanker was attacked by Iranian suicide drones off the coast of Oman. Things seems to be heating up again.
