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.

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

The Israel Air Force is undertaking a joint counter-strike of the Houthis in Yemen along with the US night following the ballistic missile strike near Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Just yesterday, we published an article asking the question can Israel either alone or with help from the United States, defeat the Houthis in Yemen. Today we report to you that a blistering offensive against the Houthis was just launched by both Israel and the US, dropping over 50 massive bombs on shipping ports and centers of air travel. No doubt about it, an impressive display of airpower. But the question remains, is that enough to stop the Houthis from further attacks against Israel? The uncomplicated short answer is no.

“And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!” Genesis 17:18 (KJB)

Watch any decent documentary on WWII and pay close attention to the bombing campaigns launched in the Pacific against the Japanese. On some of those islands, the US bombed them for 3 months straight before sending in the Marines, and the island looked like all traces of life were gone. Not so. To their shock, the Marines found that tens of thousands of Japanese remained quite alive and quite capable of unleashing deadly attacks which killed Marines in the thousands before gaining control. Watching the Israel and US counter-strikes on Houthis happening now is impressive but it will do very little to stop the Houthis from further attacks against the Jews.

Israel, US joint counterstriking Houthis in Yemen following Ben-Gurion Airport hit

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Foreign reports are describing close to a dozen attack sites. This is the sixth Israeli air strike on the Houthis since July 2024, following over 400 attacks by the Iranian proxy on Israel over the course of the war. Just before 9:00 p.m., the IDF formally acknowledged attacking the Houthis around the Hodeidah seaport in Yemen, approximately 2,000 kilometers away.

Targets included the Hodeidah seaport, which the IDF noted serves as a major source of income for the Houthi regime. “The Hodeidah seaport is used to transfer Iranian weapons, equipment for military needs, and other terrorist needs.” In addition, the military said, the Bajil concrete factory east of the city of Hodeidah was attacked, which serves as an important economic resource for the Houthi terrorist regime and is used to build tunnels and military infrastructure.”

Next, the IDF stated, “The Houthi terrorist regime has been operating for the past year and a half under Iranian direction and funding in order to harm Israel and its allies, undermine the regional order, and disrupt global freedom of navigation. The IDF is determined to continue to act and strike forcefully at anyone who poses a threat to the residents and citizens of the State of Israel, and at whatever distance is required.”

Israel’s last counterstrike against the Houthis was on January 11, before US President Donald Trump took office. Since then, Israel has hoped that over 1,000 airstrikes by the US under Trump would be sufficient to stop Houthi attacks on Israel without Jerusalem getting directly involved. However, the Houthis’ successful hit near Ben Gurion shook up that calculation.

On January 11, Israel’s air force, in coordination with the United States and Britain, conducted what were the largest coordinated airstrikes of the war against the Houthis in Yemen up until that time, targeting a Houthi power station and two ports used by the Iran-backed group. The targets Israel struck on January 11 included military infrastructure sites at Hezyaz power station, and military infrastructure in the Hodeidah and Ras Issa ports on the Western coast.

The coalition was expected to attack weapons facilities, control and command bases, and underground places, while Israel strikes the Houthis’ economic facilities, which have military and civilian use, such as ports, airports, power plants, etc. READ MORE

When a $20,000 missile fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels can bring down a US Reaper drone worth over $30 million, the cost of war takes on a new, troubling shape.

The is a perplexing problem in the Middle East, and no one seems willing or able to solve it. The problem? Houthi drones supplied to the rebels from Iran continue to cause major damage, as recently as yesterday, Houthi drones targeted and hit the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Netanyahu is fuming because Trump won’t allow Israel to attack Iran, and the United States also does not appear to have an appetite to do that, either. In the meantime, Iran has free reign to wreak havoc, through the Houthi drones, on targets in Israel and on US and international shipping interests in the Red Sea.

“And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?“ Numbers 32:6 (KJB)

The Houthi missile that hit the Ben Gurion Airport this weekend was somehow able to make its way through Iron Dome and US THAAD interceptors, that’s a bad sign. The missiles and drones used by the Houthis are supplied to them from Iran who continues to wage war by proxy against Israel and the United States with seeming impunity. I am beyond disappointed with the results of the first 100 days of the new Trump administration, it’s been nothing but a self-aggrandizing, flaming, chaotic mess. Somebody needs to step up and start showing some leadership and put Iran in their place before it’s too late.

Houthi drones drain billions from West as Red Sea chaos escalates, experts say

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: That imbalance is now defining the crisis in the Red Sea, where sustained attacks from Iranian-backed terrorists are draining Western defense budgets and disrupting the arteries of global commerce.

Over 800 strikes have been carried out by the United States against Houthi positions since March 15, yet the barrage of drones and missiles has not ceased. As Houthi forces target American, British, and Israeli-linked ships across one of the world’s most vital maritime corridors, military and economic pressure is intensifying on the US and its allies, with no end in sight.

According to British Colonel (ret.) Richard Kemp, who commanded forces in Afghanistan and has advised on Middle East security, said Iran’s fingerprints are all over the conflict. “This is Iran flexing its muscles,” Kemp said in an exclusive interview with The Media Line. “It’s not only about attacking Israel—it’s about showing that Tehran can hurt the West, especially economically, without ever firing a shot directly.” Kemp described the Houthis as one arm of what he called the “Iranian octopus,” used to deter Western attacks on Iran by threatening both military and commercial targets.

“It’s a way of saying: if you hit us, we’ll unleash chaos through our proxies,” he said. “And the Red Sea is one of the best places to do that.”

The economic disparity between offensive and defensive action in this conflict is staggering. While the Houthis fire relatively cheap projectiles—often made with imported components from Iran—intercepting them requires millions of dollars in sophisticated Western systems.

Janatan Sayeh, a research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, explained that this isn’t accidental—it’s strategic. “This is asymmetric warfare by design,” Sayeh told The Media Line. “You don’t need to inflict mass casualties. You just need to make your adversary bleed money.” Sayeh detailed how the Houthis now assemble most of their weaponry inside Yemen. “Iran no longer sends complete missiles,” he said. “They send parts—drones, guidance systems, warheads—and the Houthis put them together locally, based on instructions. This modular system makes interception harder and enables a continuous supply chain.”

As long as the Houthis receive weapons, training, and political backing from Tehran, none of the experts interviewed believe the threat will disappear. “So long as the weapons are coming from Tehran,” said Sayeh, “this issue is going to persist.” Kemp echoed the same warning: “Unless we start thinking of this as a global strategy by Iran, we’ll keep losing this battle—one overpriced missile at a time.” READ MORE

American THAAD And Israeli Arrow Systems Failed To Stop Houthi Missile From Hitting Ben Gurion

A Houthi ballistic missile struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, exposing a stunning failure of both Israel’s Arrow and America’s THAAD air defense systems. Flights were halted, air raid sirens blared, and at least six people were injured as the missile penetrated all layers of defense. The attack, claimed by Yemen’s Houthis, left both Israel and the U.S. embarrassed and scrambling for answers.
