Strong

Netanyahu said that he picked a date to enter Rafah. The army stands ready. Israelis stand ready.

The U.S. has been trying to impose a ceasefire and to secure a hostage deal, but Hamas has reportedly rejected the deal.

Ben Gvir threatened to topple Netanyahu’s government if Israel doesn’t go into Rafah. Ben Gvir and Smotrich are insisting that Hamas must be destroyed. These two ministers wear head coverings, signifying their obedience to, and fear of G-d Who is above us and Who rules over everything. Ben Gvir and Smotrich are standing strong, determined to wipe out evil. And they are empowering Netanyahu to tell Biden, that Israel must enter Rafah and destroy Hamas.

The Jewish people, united with G-d and with each other, are standing strong. When Israel fears and trusts in G-d, then there is nothing else to fear.

Nations can protest. World leaders can criticize. Antisemites can scream all they like.

It won’t matter. Because Israel stands strong. And G-d is on this side.

And just as the Jewish people were freed from Egypt on Passover, now too G-d will soon redeem us, and “with our youth and our elders, with our sons and our daughters” (Exodus 10; 9) we will come, upright and proudly, to the Holy Land, united and strong, past and present generations together, as we rejoice and thank G-d for redeeming us again like before, a Redemption that will last forever, led by our righteous Moshiach.

A time when the entire world will acknowledge G-d’s presence and dominion.

May it happen very soon.
