Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a blistering condemnation of French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, accusing him of siding with Hamas following his sharp criticism of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.

Emmanuel Macron is doing exactly what you’d expect someone to do who just might be the biblical man of sin, he takes a consistent and ongoing position against the nation of Israel, and for their enemies, in this case Hamas. Macron went so far this time as to say that the European Union should cut Israel off from trade relations. Over in Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu issued a necessary rebuke of Macron. Round and round she goes, where she stops only God knows. That’s the end times, and that’s the memo.

“And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.” 2 Chronicles 20:29 (KJB)

The situation in Gaza is bleak, and bad, and it doesn’t look like it will get better any time soon, and that’s the reality. But make no mistake, it’s one of the realities of war, and Israel is determined not to make the same mistake they made last time in underestimating Gaza’s appetite to support terrorists. My heart breaks for the innocents caught in the crossfire, but it also breaks for the 1,200 Israelis slaughtered on October 7th in 2023. I will stand with the Jews, with Israel, and that’s with the full knowledge that they are God’s chosen people, Israel God’s holy land, and Jerusalem His holy city. Am Yisrael Chai.

Netanyahu accuses Macron of ‘despicable’ support for Hamas

FROM ISRAEL HAYMON: “Macron has once again chosen to stand with a murderous Islamist terrorist organization and echo its despicable propaganda, accusing Israel of blood libels. Israel is engaged in a multi-front war for its very existence following the horrific massacre committed by Hamas against innocent people on October 7, including the murder and kidnapping of dozens of French nationals. Instead of supporting the Western democratic camp fighting the Islamist terrorist organizations and calling for the release of the hostages, Macron is once again demanding that Israel surrender and reward terrorism,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.  .

The harsh rebuke from Jerusalem followed Macron’s interview with TF1 television, where the French leader delivered some of his strongest criticisms yet of Israel’s military operations. “What the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is doing is unacceptable… There is no water, no medicine, the wounded cannot get out, the doctors cannot get in. What he is doing is shameful,” Macron told TF1.

In his televised remarks highlighted, Macron suggested that leverage from Washington would be necessary to influence Israeli policy. “We need the United States. President (Donald) Trump has the levers. I have had tough words with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I got angry, but they (Israel) don’t depend on us, they depend on American weapons,” he said.

The French president referenced his personal observations at the Egypt-Gaza border, reported, where he witnessed that “all the aid that France and other countries deliver” is “blocked by the Israelis.” This firsthand account has been refuted by Israel. “This is an unacceptable humanitarian tragedy,” Macron declared in comments published by. He noted that “it is not up to a president of the republic to say ‘this is a genocide’ but rather to historians.”

Netanyahu’s statement noted that “Israel will not stop and will not surrender. Prime Minister Netanyahu is determined to accomplish all of Israel’s war goals, including the release of all our hostages, destroy Hamas’s military and governance capabilities and ensure that Gaza will never again pose a threat to Israel.”

Macron indicated potential consequences for bilateral relations, as reported he mentioned exploring revisions to European Union cooperation agreements with Israel. The French president emphasized his commitment to action, stating: “My job is to do everything I can to make it stop… the humanitarian crisis (in Gaza) is the most serious we have known” since October 7, 2023.

President Donald Trump arrived Wednesday in Qatar, where he was greeted by the country’s ruling emir, Sheikh Tamim Al Thani, as he kicked off the second leg of his three-nation Middle East tour this week. What about Israel?

On this date in history 77 years ago, NTEB told you how US President Harry S. Truman formally and officially announced that America had recognized the fledgling state of Israel to exist as a nation. In the same year we wrote that article, 2017, we also called for then-president Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Trump would go on to do that officially on December 6th of the same year. So here we are in 2025, and on the May 14th anniversary of the recognition of Israel’s right to exist, President Donald Trump is meeting with their enemies in Qatar, accepting a $400 million dollar “gesture of goodwill” bribe from the terror-supporting nation. That’s the memo.

“And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” Isaiah 11:12 (KJB)

OH, I know, I get it, you’ll tell  me that Donald Trump is playing 5-D chess with the Muslims, and secretly working behind the scenes to advance the best interests of the Jewish state, and accomplish for them what they cannot for themselves. True? Possibly. But optics being what they are, to have an American president flying to visit a declared enemy of Israel on the very day Israel became a nation back in 1948, that’s not 5-D chess. Why couldn’t Trump make a quick stop in Israel today, or yesterday, or tomorrow? Because that would anger his Muslim buddies who, at the moment, at throwing piles of cash at him. That’s why. The “art of the deal” isn’t turning out to be much of a deal for Israel.

Trump is in Qatar after meeting Syria’s new leader in Saudi Arabia

FROM THE UNION-BULLITEN: In a stunning engagement earlier in the day in Saudi Arabia, Trump met with Syria’s new leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa — who as an insurgent had spent years imprisoned by U.S. troops in Iraq. Trump said the rapprochement with Syria came at the urging of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“There is a new government that will hopefully succeed,” said Trump, who announced he’ll move to lift sanctions on Syria to give the country “a chance at peace.”

“I say good luck, Syria. Show us something special,” Trump said.

In Saudi Arabia, Trump focused on dealmaking with the kingdom, a key Mideast ally. Trump and Prince Mohammed, the kingdom’s de facto ruler, signed a host of economic and bilateral agreements. Trump also touched on shared concerns about the war in Gaza and Iran’s nuclear program. Trump said he wants to avoid conflict with Tehran, urging Iran to take a “new and a better path” as he pushes for a new nuclear deal.

When he was president the first time, Donald Trump declared plainly that “Qatar is a funder a terrorism and must be stopped”. He was right. So why now here in his second term is he accepting multimillion dollar “gifts” from those very same people? pic.twitter.com/lEPq61dfbc

On his flight from Saudi Arabia, Air Force One was escorted by Qatari F-15 jets, according to a post on X by White House official Margo Martin. It was a repeat of Tuesday’s escort by Saudi Arabian fighter jets, which was a high-profile move without recent precedent.

Trump was greeted at the airport by Qatar’s emir Sheikh Tamim Al Thani. Both leaders then walked down a receiving line of representatives from each country at the Amiri Diwan, the government palace. The ceremonial greeting also included an escort of riders on camelback.

While Al Thani shook hands with U.S. officials, he had a warmer greeting for Steve Witkoff, Trump’s envoy who has played a key role in Middle East negotiations. They clasped hands and pulled each other in for an embrace. Trump then sat down briefly with Al Thani and marveled at the government palace.

“As a construction person, I’m seeing perfect marble,” said the former real estate developer. He described it as “perfecto.” 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
