Thousands of Gazans Will Become Christian, Palestinian Evangelical Predicts

An ex-member of the Fatah terrorist organization, who embraced Christianity in the early 1990s, has asserted that a considerable number of Muslims in Gaza are likely to forsake Islam in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas War, gravitating towards Christianity.

Speaking to Joel Rosenberg on the latest episode of the Rosenberg Report, which aired on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) over the weekend, Taysir “Tass” Abu Saada said that he predicts many Gazans will feel so hopeless, lost and lied to by Hamas after the war that they will abandon Islam and Hamas’s extremism for the teachings of the Bible.

“Hamas is an ideology that is spread among many people, not only in the Gaza Strip but all over the world,” Saada told Rosenberg. “However, God has a plan. And I believe the Arabs’ and the Jews’ plan is also part of that, and that is where my hope is.

“That is why I am back in the Holy Land, to move to the Gaza Strip and take part in rebuilding,” Saada continued. “I believe with all the destruction, with all that happened, with the hardship the Palestinians have gone through, they cannot sit back but will ask, ‘Why?’ . . .

The Christian convert said that he already has a team on the ground ministering to Gazans during the war, and these individuals are telling him that “the harvest is going to be huge.” (Read more from “Thousands of Gazans Will Become Christian, Palestinian Evangelical Predicts” HERE)

Putin: Russia ‘Will Never Back Down’ as Ukraine War Enters Third Year

As the approaching two-year mark of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine casts a somber shadow, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a New Year’s address vowing that Russia “will never back down.” In the face of mounting casualties and economic challenges fueled by Western sanctions, Putin aimed to reassure a war-weary nation with a resolute message.

In his address, Putin expressed confidence in Russia’s ability to overcome difficulties, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He asserted, “We will never back down because there is no such force that can divide us, make us forget the memory and faith of our fathers, or stop our development.” Describing Russia as one country and one big family, Putin emphasized unity as the key to the nation’s future strength and prosperity.

The New Year’s address coincided with alarming reports about the impact of the Ukraine war on the Russian military. The UK Ministry of Defence revealed a significant rise in the average daily number of Russian casualties in 2023. According to British intelligence assessments, if this trend continues, Russia could lose over half a million military personnel in the next year. Additionally, concerns were raised about the time needed for Russia to rebuild a well-trained and experienced military force, with predictions of a “low quality, high quantity mass army” in the interim.

The high casualty rate has led to rare protests in Russia, where mothers and wives have called for an end to the conscription of their loved ones. Despite these challenges, Putin appears to be in a stronger position than at the beginning of the year. He successfully navigated a rebellion attempt by Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and thwarted Ukraine’s much-anticipated “Spring counteroffensive.”

While Ukraine faces financial constraints, with funding from the U.S. and EU in limbo, Russia’s steadfastness in the conflict has led to a crisis of confidence among Ukraine’s Western financial backers. Despite war fatigue on both sides, there is little indication that either Russia or Ukraine is willing to back down.

Journalist Found Dead After Exposing ‘Luxury Villa Owned by Zelenskyy’s Family’

Egyptian investigative journalist Mohammed Al-Alawi, known for his exposé on the purchase of a luxury villa by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s mother-in-law, has been found dead.

The report, published by El Mostaqbal, details the discovery of Al-Alawi’s body in the Red Sea city of Hurghada, showing signs of fractures and bruises. The cause of death is reported as a cerebral hemorrhage resulting from a severe brain injury, with indications that the journalist had been subjected to a beating by a group of individuals.

Al-Alawi gained attention in August when he reported on the purchase of a $4.85 million villa in El-Gouna by Olga Kiyashko, Zelenskyy’s mother-in-law. The journalist leaked alleged documents as evidence, raising serious questions about corruption and the possible misappropriation of U.S. financial aid to Ukraine by the Zelenskyy family.

The Ukrainian embassy in Egypt has dismissed the allegations as “Russian propaganda,” while Orascom Development, the owner of the El Gouna resort, issued a statement categorically denying the reports. He claims the allegations are “completely false” despite Al-Alawi’s exposé.

Al-Alawi’s death has intensified concerns about the safety of investigative journalists and the challenges they face when exposing sensitive information. In a recent interview, the deceased journalist’s brother, Ahmed Al-Alawi, disclosed that Mohammed began receiving death threats after the release of his investigation. Ahmed also claimed that the police believe the assassination was carried out by Ukrainian operatives.

Iran Speeding Up Transfer Of Precision Weapons To Terrorist Group Hezbollah: Report

Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and the backers of the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon, is reportedly speeding up its transfer of precision weapons to Hezbollah as Israel is rumored to be preparing for a war to protect itself in the north.

According to Missile Threat, Hezbollah already has 130,000 rockets, and is considered the world’s most heavily armed non-state actor. As recently as Thursday, Hezbollah launched 50 rockets and missiles at northern Israel.

“We can no longer accept [Hezbollah’s elite] Radwan force sitting on the border,” Tzachi Hanegbi, Israel’s national security adviser, told Channel 12 earlier this month. “We can no longer accept Resolution 1701 [a 2006 U.N. Security Council resolution that bans Hezbollah from being within nearly 20 miles of Israel’s border] not being implemented.”

“The situation in the north must be changed. And it will change. If Hezbollah agrees to change things via diplomacy, very good, if not — we will have to act,” he said. “We will have to ensure that the situation in the north is different.” (Read more from “Iran Speeding Up Transfer Of Precision Weapons To Terrorist Group Hezbollah: Report” HERE)

Iraq Works to Expel U.S. Forces After Iran-Backed Shiite Militia Attacks

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Thursday that his government is working to expel U.S. and allied troops. Iran-linked Shiite militias have relentlessly attacked American forces in Iraq since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7 and began the current Gaza war.

“We are in the process of reorganizing this relationship. With the presence of capable Iraqi forces, the Iraqi government is heading towards ending the presence of the international coalition forces,” Sudani said at a press conference with socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

Spain has some troops in Iraq, but the bulk of the foreign forces are Americans, nominally serving as advisers, trainers, and consultants to the Iraqi military.

Sanchez said his government would support “the unity, sovereignty, and stability of Iraq.” He also condemned Israel for its strikes in Gaza, a position Sudani applauded.

Sudani said his administration would respect “the legal authorization granted by previous governments” for the presence of foreign troops but criticized foreign forces for engaging in “military operations” that he rejected as a “violation of Iraqi sovereignty.” (Read more from “Iraq Works to Expel U.S. Forces After Iran-Backed Shiite Militia Attacks” HERE)

Report: Chinese Spy Balloon Exploits American Internet Provider to Communicate

A recent report revealed that the Chinese spy balloon that infiltrated the United States several months ago utilized an American internet service provider to establish communication links. According to an NBC News report published on Thursday, this information was disclosed by two current and one former U.S. official familiar with the assessment.

The assessment indicated that the spy balloon, which traversed the United States, was connected to a U.S.-based company, facilitating the exchange of communications primarily related to its navigation with China. Officials who are well-versed with the assessment highlighted that this connection allowed the balloon to transmit burst transmissions, characterized by high-bandwidth collections of data over short periods.

President Joe Biden’s administration reportedly sought a “highly secretive” court order to gather intelligence about the spy balloon while it hovered over the United States. The court’s ruling, however, remains shrouded in mystery. The order would have empowered U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct electronic surveillance on the balloon, including its communications via the American internet service provider.

The company implicated in the communication channel has denied any involvement, and its name has not been disclosed to safeguard the identities of the sources. Notably, the Biden administration reportedly aimed to keep the incident involving the Chinese spy balloon under wraps.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken later declared that the Chinese spy balloon chapter was “closed” as long as China refrained from similar actions in the future. Despite the reassurances, defense and intelligence officials maintain that, according to the U.S. assessment, the balloon was unable to transmit intelligence back to China while it was over U.S. airspace.

Christians in Nigeria Massacred in Christmas Weekend Terror Attacks

At least 160 Nigerian Christians were murdered and 300 injured in a series of terror attacks over Christmas weekend, according to multiple reports.

The attacks on at least 26 Christian communities made it “one of the most violent [times] in the area’s history,” Maria Lozano, a representative for the group Aid to the Church in Need, told the Catholic News Agency.

President of the Christian Association of Nigeria Archbishop Daniel Okoh condemned the attacks, which some have blamed on the Muslim Fulani militia.

“We condemn these acts of violence in the strongest possible terms. The burning down of houses, and worship centers, and the destruction of properties worth millions of naira is not only a criminal act but also a direct assault on our shared values of peace, unity, and mutual respect,” Okoh said, reports CNA.

Kim Jong Un Orders Acceleration of North Korea’s War Preparations Against U.S.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has announced a directive to “further accelerate” the country’s military defenses, citing the need to counter “confrontational moves” from the United States. The announcement came during a meeting between Kim and the ruling party, the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK), where policy plans for the country’s direction in 2024 were discussed.

According to North Korea’s state media, Kim outlined “militant tasks” for the munitions industry, nuclear weapons, civil defense sectors, and the army to intensify war preparations. The leader pointed to the “grave political and military situation in the Korean peninsula,” attributing it to the “anti-DPRK confrontation moves of the U.S. and its vassal forces unprecedented in history,” as reported by news agency KCNA.

North Korea has previously expressed support for Russia in its conflict with Ukraine, adding strain to the relationship between North Korea and the U.S. In September, Kim and Russian leader Vladimir Putin held discussions in Russia on military matters, with Kim lauding Russia’s “sacred fight” against Ukraine during a visit to Russia’s Vostochny Cosmodrome.

The state media report stated that Kim clarified the Workers’ Party of Korea’s independent principle to “expand and develop” relations with anti-imperialist independent countries. Kim emphasized the intention to “wage” a “joint action” with these nations on an international scale amid the rapidly changing world geopolitical situation.

According to Kim, North Korea is taking a proactive stance in response to perceived provocations from the United States.

Israel Kills Top Iranian General in Syria: Report

Israel killed a top commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Monday in airstrikes carried out in the Syrian capital of Damascus.

Iranian-state media said that Reza Mousawi, a high-ranking Iranian general, was killed in a strike on the Sayida Zeinab neighborhood. Israeli airstrikes in Syria earlier this month killed two other Iranian generals.

Reuters reported that Mousawi was responsible for coordinating Iran’s military alliance between Syria and Iran.

Israel did not comment on the strike, which is customary for their military.

“I won’t comment on foreign reports, these or others in the Middle East,” said IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari. “The Israeli military obviously has a job to protect the security interests of Israel.” (Read more from “Israel Kills Top Iranian General in Syria: Report” HERE)

Canadian PM Installs Taxpayer-Funded Tampon Dispensers in Men’s Bathrooms

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly made good in the week leading up to Christmas on his May 2023 promise to install dispensers for feminine hygiene products in men’s bathrooms.

Former Canadian Senator Linda Frum fumed that Canadian taxpayers were being forced to support transgender ideology:

. . .

“They’re also going to build dispensers for all the tampons which won’t be used since 1) men don’t menstruate and 2) they are just going to bring them home to their wives for free,” the putative parliamentary staffer pointed out.

The cost of showering the men’s rooms in Parliament with ladies’ products might not be too bad, but the Canadian Labor Code now stipulates that all “female-identified, male-identified, and all-gender toilet rooms will need to have menstrual products.”

The requirement will eventually fall upon private sector potties as an unfunded mandate, the favored political instrument of Western authoritarians. Critics slammed the regulation as an effort to eliminate masculinity and femininity, noting that the regulations managed to stuff every bathroom with tampons without referring to either men or women – it refers to tampon users as “menstruating employees.” (Read more from “Canadian PM Installs Taxpayer-Funded Tampon Dispensers in Men’s Bathrooms” HERE)
