THE CRAZY WORLD IS STILL TRYING TO POKE GOD IN THE EYE WITH THIS USELESS WASTE OF TIME ISRAEL HATE CEASEFIRE.he continued.“When the locals realized that the elephant population was dwindling, they gradually shifted their focus to fallow deer. Identifying the deer’s plentiful source, they began to develop the unique scrapers in the same place. This is the earliest instance of a phenomenon that later spread throughout the world,” Litov said.The Mount Gerizim location, near Nablus, is especially important because numerous fallow deer bones were found there at an ancient altar site. As Gerizim is associated with the Israelite’s entry into the Land of Israel and is considered a sacred site by the local Samaritan community, “apparently, the Mountains of Samaria gained a prominent, or even sacred status as early as the Paleolithic period, and retained their unique cultural position for hundreds of thousands of years,” the researchers said.
Vowing to press Gaza strikes, Netanyahu says hostage talks only to be held ‘under fire’Premier says Hamas rejected all proposals for more releases, slams critics for suggesting he resumed fighting for his own political interests; ground offensive reportedly on table-By Lazar Berman,Emanuel Fabian and ToI Staff Today, 1:08 am
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Tuesday to press heavy strikes on Gaza that resumed hours earlier, saying any future hostage negotiations with Hamas would be conducted “under fire.” after weeks of fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip failed to bear fruit.A fragile two-month ceasefire in the Strip came to an abrupt halt in the early hours of Tuesday when Israel launched a shock aerial offensive on Gaza, saying weeks of negotiations to extend the truce had failed to bear fruit.In a televised address on Tuesday evening, Netanyahu said that the military campaign was launched on the recommendation of Israel’s intelligence services and the IDF, and that it was a last resort after weeks of failed efforts to get Hamas to free more hostages.The premier asserted that following the end of the first phase of a would-be multi-phased ceasefire and hostage release deal, Hamas had turned down all subsequent proposals to release more of the 59 hostages still held in Gaza, of whom 24 are believed to be alive.“From now on, negotiations will be conducted only under fire,” Netanyahu said.“This is only the beginning,” he warned Hamas.While Israel is currently only conducting an aerial offensive, Channel 12 cited unnamed Israeli sources as saying that officials were leaving the option of a renewed ground offensive on the table as well.Senior officials told the news outlet that unless Hamas started showing flexibility in negotiations over the next few days, the operation would gradually expand and intensify.Israel, said Netanyahu, had accepted an American proposal for hostages to be freed and the ceasefire to be temporarily extended, but “Hamas rejected every proposal, time after time.”US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff presented a bridge proposal last week that would have seen the first phase of ceasefire extended by several weeks, in exchange for the release of five living hostages, but Israel said the proffer was rejected by Hamas.Israel had “extended the ceasefire for weeks during which we did not receive hostages” in order to exhaust all the chances for Hamas to end its obduracy, Netanyahu said, noting that negotiating teams had been dispatched to Doha and Cairo, to no avail.Israel’s hostage team returned from a brief visit to Cairo on Monday, and Hamas had not yet managed to send a delegation of its own to the Egyptian capital before Israel launched its renewed offensive.Hamas spokesman Abdel-Latif Al-Qanoua told Reuters on Tuesday that the terror group was still in touch with mediators despite the renewed offensive, and was interested in completing the implementation of the original deal.Al-Qanoua also alleged in a statement that Hamas had not refused Witkoff’s proposal for a temporary ceasefire extension, and in reality had “looked at it positively.”“Hamas’s interest is in continuing the agreement, and Hamas will continue to be flexible and positive with the mediators in order to curb the aggression against our people and oblige Israel to the agreement,” he said.Witkoff last week described Hamas’s counter-offer as a “non-starter.”Hamas has insisted that it will not accept any proposal that deviates from the original terms of the framework ceasefire deal, which was supposed to have entered its second phase earlier this month.The second phase envisioned Israel fully withdrawing from Gaza and agreeing to permanently end the war in exchange for the release of the remaining living hostages.While Israel signed on to the deal, Netanyahu has long insisted that Israel will not end the war until Hamas’s governing and military capabilities have been destroyed.Accordingly, Israel refused to even hold talks regarding the terms of phase two, which were supposed to begin on February 3.Nonetheless, the ceasefire remained in place for roughly two and a half weeks after the conclusion of the first phase, as mediators worked to broker new terms for the truce’s extension.Netanyahu, in his address, maintained that he had always promised to return to fighting should Hamas remain implacable.“We have gone back to fighting with force,” he said, promising to ratchet up pressure on Hamas.Several families of hostages publicly criticized the return to fighting Tuesday, expressing worries that it would lead to worsened conditions for their loved ones and make freeing them more difficult.Released hostage Yarden Bibas, whose wife and two young sons were slain in captivity, said on Facebook that Israel’s return to fighting brought him back to Gaza, where he feared for his life. “Military pressure endangers hostages, an agreement brings them back,” he said.“My heart, all of our hearts, are with the hostages and their families,” he said, insisting that he remained committed to working tirelessly to free all hostages, living and dead. “They are going through an inhuman nightmare every day, every minute.”Netanyahu insisted that Israel would “continue to fight” until all of its war goals are achieved — returning the hostages, destroying Hamas, and ensuring Gaza will never again constitute a threat to Israel.”Netanyahu denied that any political considerations were behind the resumed military operation in Gaza, blasting what he said were media “lies.”Critics of the premier, including opposition lawmakers and the families of the hostages, have accused Netanyahu of abandoning negotiations in favor of military action for his own political interests. Hours after the offensive began, the far-right Otzma Yehudit rejoined the government it had resigned from two months ago in protest of the ceasefire agreement.“They have no shame, they have no red lines,” Netanyahu asserted of his critics in the media.Israel said Tuesday’s strikes targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror infrastructure, killing several top officials from the groups. Health authorities in the Hamas-controlled Strip said 408 people had been killed in one of the biggest single-day tolls since the war erupted.“It was a night of hell. It felt like the first days of the war,” said Rabiha Jamal, 65, a mother of five from Gaza City.Visiting troops in southern Gaza’s Rafah Tuesday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir vowed that Israel’s renewed offensive would take place alongside efforts to free the hostages.“Your mission is to protect the communities here,” he told troops. “We are in an ongoing action against Hamas, alongside a full commitment to return the hostages.”Mediators make concerted push for calmA former Egyptian official told the Washington Post Tuesday that Egypt and Qatar were working together to push for a renewed ceasefire.“Egypt and Qatar are planning to have quick connection with Israel side for urgent ceasefire and to start arranging quick meetings in Cairo for entering the next phase and exchange hostages and prisoners in order to achieve peace,” said the official, who was briefed on the plan.The former official said that Egypt was “trying to contact the American side to put pressure on [Israel] to accept the ceasefire.”Hamas on Tuesday evening called for additional “friendly countries” to join Egypt and Qatar in piling pressure on Israel and the US.Alongside the renewed offensive in Gaza, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on Tuesday that Jerusalem was also considering threatening to annex a portion of the Gaza Strip for each hostage harmed in captivity.According to the unsourced report, Israel believes Hamas is more concerned about losing territory than it is by the high death toll and the devastating impact of the war on the Strip’s 2.3 million residents.Terror groups in the Gaza Strip are holding 59 hostages, of whom 58 were seized during the Hamas-led invasion and massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. They include the bodies of at least 35 confirmed dead by the IDF.Hamas released 30 hostages — 20 Israeli civilians, five soldiers, and five Thai nationals — and the bodies of eight slain Israeli captives during a ceasefire that began in January. The terror group freed 105 civilians during a weeklong truce in late November 2023, and four hostages were released before that in the early weeks of the war. In exchange, Israel has freed some 2,000 jailed Palestinian terrorists, security prisoners, and Gazan terror suspects detained during the war.Eight hostages have been rescued from captivity by troops alive, and the bodies of 41 have also been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the Israeli military as they tried to escape their captors, and the body of a soldier who was killed in 2014.The body of another soldier killed in 2014, Lt. Hadar Goldin, is still being held by Hamas, and is counted among the 59 hostages.Agencies contributed to this report.
Leaders say 'Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel' Trump, Putin agree to immediate pause on Russian strikes of Ukrainian infrastructure-After hour-long phone call, White House describes move as first step in a ‘movement to peace,’ but its unclear if Ukraine is on board with the agreement-By AAMER MADHANI, Vladimir Isachenikov and Zeke Miller 18 March 2025, 11:45 pm
WASHINGTON (AP) — US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a lengthy call Tuesday to an immediate pause in strikes against energy and infrastructure targets in the Ukraine war, but the Russian leader stopped short of backing a broader 30-day pause in fighting that the US administration is pressing for.The White House described it as the first step in a “movement to peace” it hopes will eventually include a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea and a full and lasting end to the fighting.The White House added negotiations would “begin immediately” in the Middle East on those steps. Shortly after the call between Trump and Putin, air raid alerts sounded in Kyiv, followed by explosions in the city. Local officials urged people to seek shelter.It was not immediately clear whether Ukraine was on board with the limited ceasefire plan.Ukrainian officials had proposed a ceasefire covering the Black Sea and long-range missile strikes and the release of prisoners at their meeting with the US delegation in Saudi Arabia earlier this month.“We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine,” Trump posted on social media following his call.The Kremlin said Putin welcomed Trump’s calls for the maritime ceasefire and “agreed to begin negotiations to further work out specific details of such an agreement.”Putin also told Trump that Russia and Ukraine are set to exchange 175 prisoners of war each on Wednesday, and Russia will also hand over to Ukraine 23 badly wounded soldiers, the Kremlin said.Putin also called on Trump to end foreign military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine as the US looks to bring an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to the Kremlin.The move comes as the White House pushes for Russia to sign off on its 30-day ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine.Ukrainian officials last week agreed to the 30-day ceasefire proposal during talks in Saudi Arabia led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, however, remains skeptical that Putin is ready for peace as Russian forces continue to pound Ukraine.The engagement is just the latest turn in dramatically shifting US-Russia relations as Trump made quickly ending the conflict a top priority — even at the expense of straining ties with longtime American allies who want Putin to pay a price for the invasion.In preparation for the Trump-Putin call, White House special envoy Steve Witkoff met last week with Putin in Moscow to discuss the proposal. Rubio had persuaded senior Ukrainian officials during talks in Saudi Arabia to agree to the ceasefire framework.Putin last week said he agreed in principle with the US proposal, but emphasized that Russia would seek guarantees that Ukraine would not use a break in hostilities to rearm and continue mobilization. The Russian president has also demanded that Ukraine renounce joining the NATO military alliance, sharply cut its army, and protect Russian language and culture to keep the country in Moscow’s orbit.The US president said this week that Washington and Moscow have already begun discussing “dividing up certain assets” between Ukraine and Russia as part of a deal to end the conflict.Trump, who during his campaign pledged to end the war quickly, has at moments boasted of his relationship with Putin and blamed Ukraine for Russia’s unprovoked invasion, all while accusing Zelensky of unnecessarily prolonging the biggest land war in Europe since World War II.Trump had said before the call that control of land and power plants would be part of the conversation, which came on the anniversary of Russia annexing Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula 11 years ago. That bold land grab by Russia set the stage for Russia to invade its neighbor in 2022.Witkoff suggested that US and Russian officials have discussed the fate of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant — Europe’s largest — in southern Ukraine.The plant has been caught in the crossfire since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in 2022 and seized the facility shortly after. The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly expressed alarm about it, fueling fears of a potential nuclear catastrophe.The plant is a significant asset, producing nearly a quarter of Ukraine’s electricity in the year before the war.After a disastrous February 28 White House meeting with Zelensky, Trump temporarily cut off some military intelligence-sharing and aid to Ukraine. It was restored after the Ukrainians last week signed off on the Trump administration’s 30-day ceasefire proposal.Zelensky in his nightly video address on Monday made clear he remains doubtful that Putin is ready for peace.“Now, almost a week later, it’s clear to everyone in the world — even to those who refused to acknowledge the truth for the past three years — that it is Putin who continues to drag out this war,” Zelensky said.In his dealings with Zelensky and Putin, Trump has frequently focused on who has the leverage. Putin has “the cards” and Zelensky does not, Trump has said repeatedly.Trump, who has long shown admiration for Putin, has also made clear he’d like to see the US-Russia relationship return to a more normal footing.The president during his recent contentious meeting with Zelensky grumbled that “Putin went through a hell of a lot with me,” a reference to the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election in which he beat Democrat Hillary Clinton.Trump on Monday again underscored his view that Ukraine is not in a strong negotiating position. He said Russian forces have “surrounded” Ukrainian troops in Russia’s Kursk region — amplifying an assertion made by Russian officials that’s been disputed by Zelensky.Ukraine’s army stunned Russia in August last year by attacking across the border and taking control of an estimated 1,300 square kilometers (500 square miles) of land. But Ukraine’s forces are now in retreat and it has all but lost a valuable bargaining chip, as momentum builds for a ceasefire with Russia.Zelensky has acknowledged that the Ukrainians are on their back foot while disputing Russian claims that his troops are encircled in Kursk.Trump suggested that he’s taken unspecified action that has kept Russia from slaughtering Ukrainian troops in Kursk.“They’re surrounded by Russian soldiers, and I believe if it wasn’t for me they wouldn’t be here any longer,” Trump said.The White House said the leaders also discussed the situation in the Middle East and agreed that “Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel.”US officials have previously said that Iran has provided Russia with short-range ballistic missiles and attack drones for the war in Ukraine. The US has also said that Iran has assisted the Kremlin with building a drone-manufacturing factory.
Houthis fire first ballistic missile at Israel in 2 months, warn of more in coming days-Projectile shot down by Arrow defense system over Saudi Arabia; Iran-backed group says it will expand targets unless Israel halts renewed aerial campaign on Gaza-By Emanuel Fabian-and Nurit Yohanan 18 March 2025, 10:21 pm
The Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile at Israel from Yemen Tuesday evening, marking the first attack from the Iran-backed group since the ceasefire came into effect in the Gaza Strip two months ago.The Israel Defense Forces said it had successfully intercepted the missile before it could reach Israel’s borders, shooting it down with the long-range Arrow defense system over Saudi Arabia.It nevertheless sent thousands running for shelter, with sirens blaring in numerous towns across southern Israel, including Beersheba and Dimona.The Houthi’s military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed a short while later that the rebel group had attacked the Nevatim air base in the Negev desert with a Palestine-2 ballistic missile.He warned that they would continue to expand their range of targets in Israel in the coming hours and days unless Israel were to halt its renewed aerial campaign in the Gaza Strip.“Yemen, its leadership, people, and army will not stand idly by while witnessing all the massacres against our people in Gaza,” Saree said in a televised address.In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Israel launched a shock offensive in the Gaza Strip, shattering the fragile ceasefire that had been in place since January 19.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the resumption of fighting was a result of Hamas’s “repeated refusal” to release additional Israeli hostages.At least 404 Palestinians have been killed so far, including children, according to unverified figures from the Hamas-run health ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants. It said another 562 were wounded.The Houthi missile fire on Tuesday was the first since January 18, as the Yemeni rebel group said that it would halt its attacks on Israel and global shipping routes for as long as the ceasefire in Gaza remained in effect.Even before Tuesday, the Houthis had threatened to resume attacks on “any Israeli vessel” transiting through the region, after Israel imposed a blockade of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip on March 2.The Israeli Air Force raised its level of alert due to the threat and then raised it again on Sunday after the White House launched large-scale strikes in Yemen, targeting leaders and senior members of the Iran-backed group.The US strikes killed 53 people and wounded 98 on Saturday, according to the Houthi-run health ministry.The Houthis began attacking Israel and maritime traffic in November 2023, a month after fellow Iran-backed terror group Hamas stormed southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gaza.The Iran-backed rebels fired some 40 ballistic missiles from November 2023 until just days before Israel reached the ceasefire-hostage deal with Hamas. The Houthis also launched several attack drones at Israel, including one that killed a civilian and wounded several others in Tel Aviv in July. Responding to the attacks, Israel has carried out several strikes on Houthi sites in Yemen.Meanwhile, the Houthis attacked Israeli and other ships in nearby waters, disturbing global shipping lanes, in what the rebels said were acts of solidarity with Gaza’s Palestinians during the war with Hamas.The rebels targeted over 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two vessels and killing four sailors during their campaign.Agencies contributed to this report.
European nations express ‘great concern’ over renewed fighting in Gaza-Lamenting ‘shocking’ images coming out of Gaza, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warns that fate of hostages, Palestinians, and wider Middle East are being put at risk-By Agencies, Nava Freiberg and ToI Staff 18 March 2025, 9:17 pm
European leaders and diplomats expressed concern Tuesday over the renewed Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, following the most intense Israeli airstrikes in Gaza since a fragile ceasefire took effect in January.In the early hours of Tuesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces launched dozens of strikes throughout Gaza under orders from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who cited the terror group’s “repeated refusal” to release the 59 hostages still held in the Palestinian enclave.More than 400 Palestinians were killed in the shock return to fighting, including children, according to unverified numbers from the Hamas-run health ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants. More than 560 others were said to have been injured.The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet security agency said on Tuesday afternoon the strikes during the day had targeted cells of terror operatives, rocket-launching positions, weapons, and other military infrastructure. Hamas acknowledged that several of its senior members were among the dead.In Berlin, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that “the end of the ceasefire in Gaza due to heavy Israeli attacks is cause for great concern,” adding that she was planning a trip to Lebanon on Wednesday.“The images of burning tents in refugee camps are shocking. Fleeing children and internally displaced persons must never be used as leverage in negotiations.”Baerbock stressed that “international law includes the principle of proportionality even in self-defense.“With the resumption of fighting, the fate of the remaining hostages but also the future of the people in Israel, Gaza and the entire Middle East now again hangs on an extremely thin silk thread,” she said.Germany’s top diplomat said she was appealing “in particular to the USA to use its regional influence … now, because the security of the wider Middle East is affected by this.”The US has backed Israel’s decision to resume its aerial campaign in Gaza, saying that Hamas bears full blame for the airstrikes after the terror group rejected a bridge proposal put forward by US special envoy Steve Witkoff to extend the ceasefire by several weeks.“Hamas is delaying the compelling deal in front of us and forcing Palestinians to suffer the consequences,” a spokesperson from the US State Department said.Meanwhile, both the UK’s ambassador to Israel Simon Walters and British Foreign Minister David Lammy criticized Israel’s renewed strikes and emphasized the need for diplomacy over continued conflict.“We all want to see Hamas defeated and we are desperate for the hostages to return home,” wrote Walters on X, “But renewed IDF operations in Gaza will achieve neither of those aims. Instead, there will be more death: of hostages, of Palestinian civilians, of IDF soldiers.”“At some point, the fighting has to stop and the diplomacy begin, Walters added. “That point is now.”Lammy also took to X to denounce the military campaign, saying that the “civilian casualties from Israeli strikes overnight are appalling.”“All parties must re-engage with negotiations to get hostages out, surge aid, and secure a permanent end to this conflict. Diplomacy, not more bloodshed, is how we get security for Israelis and Palestinians,” he said.Lammy’s comments came a day after he told the British House of Commons that Israel’s aid blockade on Gaza — which was reimplemented earlier this month — was a violation of international law. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer appeared to distance himself from Lammy’s remarks, saying that the UK would leave it “up to the court to make those judgments,” according to Politico.France and Italy joined their fellow Europeans in condemning the renewed offensive on Gaza and warned that it could also endanger the lives of the remaining hostages.“We are following with great concern the resumption of fighting in Gaza… which jeopardises the objectives we are all working towards,” said Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. “The release of all hostages and a permanent end to hostility, as well as the restoration of full humanitarian assistance in the Strip.”In a statement during a foreign ministry press briefing, France condemned the airstrikes, and the “numerous civilian casualties” they caused.It called for an immediate ceasefire, a return to negotiations, and the unconditional release of all hostages held in Gaza.The statement also called on Israel to protect civilians in the enclave and to allow the entry of humanitarian aid, water, and electricity.Hamas has refused to accept any proposals to extend the ceasefire and hostage release deal that deviate from the original terms of the deal, which was supposed to enter its second phase earlier this month.The second phase envisioned Israel fully withdrawing from Gaza and agreeing to permanently end the war in exchange for the release of the remaining living hostages.While Israel signed on to the deal, Netanyahu has long insisted that Israel will not end the war until Hamas’s governing and military capabilities have been destroyed.Accordingly, Israel refused to even hold talks regarding the terms of phase two, which were supposed to begin on February 3.Nonetheless, the ceasefire remained in place for roughly two and a half weeks after the conclusion of the first phase, as mediators worked to broker new terms for the truce’s extension.Accepting Israel’s aversion to phase two, Witkoff presented a bridge proposal last week that would have seen the first phase of the deal extended by several weeks, in exchange for the release of five living hostages, but the outline was rejected by Hamas.
What does Revelation 16:3 mean?
The second angel empties his bowl into the sea and the sea becomes a putrefying mass. This verse describes the sea as "like the blood of a corpse." This is an unusually specific reference, meaning the writer has in mind a body that's been dead for some time. Whatever happens to the water, it becomes like the rotting fluids found in a decomposing body. As a result, everything in the sea dies.When God struck ancient Egypt with plagues, He turned the Nile into blood (Exodus 7:19–21), but this second bowl judgment is more widespread; the language used here suggests it might pollute all oceanic bodies of water. Further, the second bowl judgment is far more intense than the second trumpet judgment that turned one third of the sea into blood and killed one third of marine life (Revelation 8:8–9). It seems the trumpet judgments expand the seal judgments, and the bowl judgments expand the trumpet judgments. Each series of judgments is more intense than the previous series. Everything is moving toward a climax, when Jesus returns to earth to capture the beast and the false prophet and cast them into the lake of fire.No doubt, this judgment cripples the beast's shipping and fishing industries. The effects of this judgment would be even further reaching than simple commerce. A massive change in ocean waters can have a drastic effect on weather and rain. Also, if "everything" living in the oceans were to die, it would remove a primary food source for the entire world. Even more dire, ocean plants produce most of the oxygen in the atmosphere. The death of everything in the oceans would start a countdown to the extinction of all life on earth.

38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.
