European Union countries have given a green light to lifting economic sanctions on Syria in a bid to help the war-torn country recover after the ouster of Bashar al-Assad, according to diplomats speaking to news agencies.

President Donald Trump spent 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the Middle East last week, and it has resulted in far-reaching and monumental change in that region. Not the least of which is the billions of dollars of nuclear and AI technology that will now be coming to them from America. Trump formed a conspicuous bromance with convicted terrorist  Ahmed al-Sharaa, the interim president of Syria, announcing he was lifting sanctions from Syria. Now the EU is following suit. Look out for terror nation Syria led by terrorist Ahmed al-Sharaa to soon make a splash on the world scene. That’s the memo.

“Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.” Jeremiah 13:23 (KJB)

It’s funny, we always seem to look at liberals and Democrats to be the ones to usher in the end times evil, and yet, it’s the Conservatives with the Christian base that seem to cause most of the trouble. Remember President George W. Bush? He presided over 9/11 with his brother Marvin in charge of the security at the Twin Towers, brought in the Patriot Act that could have been written by George Orwell as a follow-up to ‘1984’, and attacked Iraq looking for “weapons of mass destruction” that everyone knew was a lie. Take President Trump, he who seeks to “drain the Swamp” and make America great again. So far he was put the world on lockdown, created a deadly mRNA ‘vaccine’ that already has killed 17 million people, endlessly repeated the lie about COVID, and now he’s empowering Muslim nations with nuclear weapons and AI technology. We don’t need to mention the $3,000,000,000.00 Trump has put into his personal account since last November. Funny how that all is.

EU reaches initial deal to lift economic sanctions on Syria: Reports

FROM ALJAZEERA: Ambassadors from the EU’s 27 member states struck a preliminary agreement for the move, which should be formally unveiled by foreign ministers meeting in Brussels later on Tuesday, diplomats said, noting that the final decision is up to ministers.

This follows an announcement by the United States last week that it is lifting sanctions on Damascus.

Reporting from the EU headquarters, Al Jazeera’s Hashem Ahelbarra described the reported agreement to lift the sanctions as a “really significant” development.

President Trump went to the Middle East and normalized relationships with Islamic terrorists and terror-supporting states. But none more eyebrow-raising than his bromance with al-Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Sharaa in Syria who Trumps calls “an attractive, strong guy”. Hmm. pic.twitter.com/B7QmJGlUtO

“It’s first of all an acknowledgement that the EU recognises the authority which is operating now in Syria, and that there need to be more financial transactions to pave the way for the creation of financial stability and improve the living standards of the people in Syria,” he said.

Sanctions were levied during the rule of al-Assad in 2012 and 2013 and concern the transport, energy and the banking sectors, Ahelbarra said. The country’s new leadership has urged the West to ease the restrictions to help Syria recover from years of despotic rule and civil war.

Ahead of the expected official announcement from the EU, Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said on Tuesday that “lifting sanctions expresses the regional and international will to support Syria”.

“The Syrian people today have a very important and historic opportunity to rebuild their country,” he said at a press conference in Damascus. “The plan today is to benefit from the lifting of sanctions. Anyone who wants to invest in Syria, the doors are open; anyone who wants to cooperate with Syria, there are no sanctions,” he added. READ MORE

Emmanuel Macron issues joint statement between France, United Kingdom and Canada calling for the immediate implementation of Two State Solution in Gaza

If you listened to our Podcast today, then you know that everyone is doing what they’re supposed to be doing regarding the end times. Pope Leo XIV is busy creating a Revived Roman Empire, Donald Trump is helping to create a United States of Islam in the Middle East, and Emmanuel Macron is busy doing what the MOS is supposed to do, create a Palestinian state in Gaza on God’s land. Macron issued a stunning statement today, and you can read it in its entirety below. That’s the memo.

“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2 (KJB)

Not only is Emmanuel Macron going to nearly single-handedly bring in a Palestinian State, the help he has enlisted is also quite noteworthy. President Donald Trump, fresh off his $2.3 trillion dollar bonanza in the Middle East has already promised clandestine support for the Two State Solution. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a huge advocate for a Palestinian State is going to co-chair this event with Macron at the UN in June. Since 2017, NTEB has been calling for Emmanuel Macron to be revealed as the biblical man of sin, and mark your calendars, this June he just may do it. And here’s a fun fact: the UN Two State Conference takes place on the last four days of Spring…TO THE FLIGHT!!!

Emmanuel Macron release joint statement by the leaders of France, the United Kingdom and Canada on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank

• This is the official Joint Statement taken directly from the Elysee site in Paris.

FROM THE ELYSEE: We strongly oppose the expansion of Israeli military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. Israel’s announcement yesterday to allow a minimal amount of food into the Gaza Strip is completely insufficient. We call on the Israeli government to halt its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. This must include engagement with the United Nations to ensure the resumption of aid deliveries in accordance with humanitarian law. We call on Hamas to immediately release the remaining hostages it has so cruelly held since October 7, 2023.

Nous nous opposons fermement à l’extension des opérations militaires israéliennes à Gaza. Le niveau de souffrance humaine est intolérable.

Dans la perspective de la conférence du 18 juin à New York, nous devons tous travailler à la mise en œuvre de la solution à deux États.…

— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) May 19, 2025

The Israeli government’s refusal to provide essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks violating international humanitarian law. We condemn the abhorrent language recently used by members of the Israeli government and the threat of forced displacement of civilians facing the desperate destruction in Gaza. Permanent forced displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law. Israel suffered a horrific attack on October 7. We have always supported Israel’s right to defend its people against terrorism. But this escalation is completely disproportionate.

We will not stand idly by while the Netanyahu government continues these outrageous actions. If Israel does not halt the new military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete steps in response.

We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must end settlements, which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of Israelis and Palestinians. We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.

We strongly support the efforts of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt to secure an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Only a ceasefire, the release of all remaining hostages, and a long-term political solution offer the best hope of ending the agony of the hostages and their families, alleviating the suffering of civilians in Gaza, ending Hamas’s control over Gaza, and paving the way for a two-state solution, in line with the objectives of the June 18 conference in New York, co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France. These negotiations must succeed, and we must all work toward implementing a two-state solution, as the only way to bring about the lasting peace and security that Israelis and Palestinians deserve and ensure long-term stability in the region.

We will continue to work with the Palestinian Authority, regional partners, Israel, and the United States to reach consensus on arrangements for the future of Gaza, building on the Arab plan. We affirm the important role of the high-level conference on the two-state solution to be held at the United Nations in June in building international consensus around this goal. We are committed to recognizing a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution and stand ready to work with others to this end. READ MORE

Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf-US summit in mid-May during Trump’s Mideast visit. Speculation swirls over a major announcement on a Palestinian state, and peaceful US-Saudi nuclear cooperation

In your King James Bible, the word “trump” appears just twice, and both times it is in connection with the end times event known as the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. The Bible says there will be a “last trump” in 1 Corinthians 15:52, and a “trump of God” in 1 Thessalonians 4:16. We know that Paul says that in order for this rapture to take place, there has to be a “falling away” and the “man of sin be revealed”. Joel tells us that in the end times, God’s land would be parted thus triggering Armageddon. Today the news coming out of Israel is saying that Donald Trump’s “big announcement” he’s been teasing may just be the recognizing of a Palestinian state. That’s the memo.

“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2 (KJB)

For the past 16 years, NTEB has stood on the front lines of the end times, keeping a close eye on any and all developments related to the creation of a Palestinian state. During all that time, with over 11,000 articles and more than 3,000 hours of online Bible studies and Podcasts, we have watched world events take us closer and closer to a Palestinian state in ever more narrowing circles. As I write this to you – article number 11,209 – we are a mere kitten’s whisker away from this event taking place. It would be so perfectly fitting that the man that God used to put the world on lockdown and launch the COVID injection, would be the same person who will usher in cryptocurrency and a Palestinian state. Buckle up, Christian, Flight #777 has started her engines.

Gulf diplomatic sources debate if Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf-US summit in mid-May, part of US President Donald Trump’s first visit to Saudi Arabia during his second term. This follows the summit held on May 21, 2017, during Trump’s first term. The summit, hosted by Saudi Arabia in its capital, Riyadh, was preceded by numerous predictions regarding the announcement that  Trump referred to, describing it as a “very important announcement” during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Tuesday, May 6.

In addition to what Trump intends to announce, the summit’s agenda and the deals and agreements expected to take place have become the talk of the town, ranging from security and military deals to technology deals and artificial intelligence deals.

President Donald Trump has been teasing all week a “very big announcement, as big as it gets” ahead of his trip to the Middle East on Monday. Could it have something to do with the Abraham Accords and/or recognizing a Palestinian State? Stay tuned… pic.twitter.com/wHyaSX6xdD

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) May 10, 2025

All Gulf leaders are scheduled to participate in the Gulf-US summit, with the exception of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who has not participated in public events or meetings for a long time due to his health conditions. A Gulf diplomatic source, who declined to be named or disclose his position, told The Media Line, “President Donald Trump will issue a declaration regarding the State of Palestine and American recognition of it, and that there will be the establishment of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas.”

The source also added, “If an announcement of American recognition of the State of Palestine is made, it will be the most important declaration that will change the balance of power in the Middle East, and more countries will join the Abraham Accords.”

The source confirmed that economic agreements will certainly be present, but many of them have already been announced, and we may witness the Gulf states being exempted from tariffs. READ MORE
