Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel’s Post

Clearly any of these missile attacks would be a declaration of war in almost any other circumstance. It should not be permitted as precedent by civilized nations. If it is, soon enough Iran will have nuclear weapons. Act now. The disease is only getting worse. The United States has to step up in major ways to put a stop to this grossly provocative and escalatory behavior. It is a danger to the entire world. The U.S. should forcefully put pressure on the aggressors and wrongdoers, Hezbollah and its backer, Iran, to stand down. One way the U.S. might do that it to push the Lebanese government to shut down Hezbollah's use of the country's territory for its own military aggressions. The U.S. should make that a credible effort by offering boots on the ground and power in the air to back up the Lebanese. Indeed, with aggressive U.S. support, it is probably LESS likely that Iran will intervene to further escalate. 

this should not be normalized.

Israel bombed southern Lebanon on Thursday and said it had thwarted an Iranian-led assassination plot, a day after explosions of Hezbollah radios that came on the heels of blasts in booby-trapped pagers, setting the foes hurtling towards war. #israellebanonconflict #Pakistan #pakstream #affanmehtab #explorepage #explorepageready #exploremore #exploremorepage

Rockets are real and deadly With Iron Dome we have, me included, somehow forgotten how dangerous and completely indiscriminate rockets are. The objective of this post is not to scare people who live here but to dispel the myth that rockets are somehow not really a major threat. They are! This video is surely a timely reminder. Hezbollah has an estimated 150,000 rockets in their armory minus a few hundred that they used today. To date Israel has largely avoided significant casualties due to brilliant technology and good intelligence - namely Iron Dome and pre-emptive strikes at rocket sites before they hit. But make no mistake…Hezbollah are using weapons of lethal force and are aiming them completely indiscriminately at the general population, whether they are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druze or Bahai. They are busy on social media celebrating that fact. This is the act of a terrorist force and no other country in the world would tolerate it. Israel shouldn’t! Hezbollah - a subsidiary of Iran - are committed to our destruction. We have to remain strong and deal with this terrorist force. I was once naive towards the threat we faced - October 7th changed that. I will still pray and hope for peace but as a father I have seen the evil of the enemy and we can’t allow it to overrun us again. https://lnkd.in/dRZTZqFf

Are the deep wounds being caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine creating fractures beyond repair? What is the way to healing and reconciliation? Gary Timmerman and George de Vuyst of Resonate Global Mission reflect on these questions based on their experience in both countries and the work of addressing deep wounds between peoples that appear beyond repair. How do you respond when triggered? In the latest episode of All Things Reconciled we get personal while exploring the deep pain being caused by Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Can these peoples be reconciled? Can you? Listen here - https://lnkd.in/gyM4w3BW

Russian agression and Crimean Separatist chose unwisely… By becoming Putin Pawns rather than maintaining Solidarity with Ukraine they have list the following: 1) Peaceful Black Sea Fleet Security. It is now an easy Ukrainian target. 2) Mainland Ukrainian Trade n Commerce whereby trains, trucks, aircraft n ships departed daily doing business… 3) Tourism whereby million of Ukrainians traveled for long summer vacations among the Crimean coastline cities… 4) Crimean Kids/Students worked and had money for Fun n University rather than dying in War or freezing in Trenches. Sure, Putin offered the elderly bigger Pdnsions, but at the cost above with their kids n grandkids deaths, and inflation that took back the pay increases… As Russia’s economy continues to be hit with sanctions and its Refineries targeted how long can Russia afford to pay pensions?…

Excellent retrospective analysis at the two year anniversary of the Ukraine/Russia war. Holding NATO responsible and reiterating the urgent need for more US and European support to Ukraine.
