The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has officially ended. Israeli forces are back to bombing Gaza after talks broke down. Over 400 people are reported dead or missing from the latest strikes. This comes as America and Israel turn their attention to a bigger threat: Iran’s growing nuclear ambitions.
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu agree that Hamas must be wiped out. They also say Iran can’t be allowed to get nuclear weapons. Trump’s team has slammed the door on letting Hamas stay in power. They rejected an Arab-led plan to put Gaza under Palestinian Authority control, calling it a “reward for terror.”
Iran’s leaders keep refusing to negotiate with the U.S. This leaves Trump with two choices: strike Iran’s nuclear sites or watch them build a bomb. Experts say Israel’s recent wins against Hamas and Hezbollah have left Iran weak. Now might be the time to act before Iran rebuilds its defenses.
The White House is backing Israel’s tough approach. During the ceasefire, Israel cut off food, fuel, and medicine to Gaza to pressure Hamas. Critics called it harsh, but Trump officials say it worked. A top adviser said, “Hamas can’t be allowed to survive. They’re holding hostages and hiding in tunnels like cowards.”
Iran isn’t just Israel’s problem. Its missiles could hit U.S. bases or allies like Saudi Arabia. Trump’s new sanctions are crushing Iran’s economy, but their leaders won’t back down. Some in Congress say past U.S. aid to Gaza actually helped Hamas. They claim money meant for schools and hospitals was stolen to build rockets and terror tunnels.
Israel’s next move could decide the region’s future. Military leaders warn that Iran is racing to build nukes. If they succeed, Saudi Arabia and others might try to get bombs too. Trump has promised to stop that, saying, “We won’t let the ayatollahs blackmail the world.”
The Bible tells how a Persian tyrant tried to destroy the Jews long ago. Today, Israel faces a similar threat. With U.S. support, they’re determined to protect their people. As one official put it, “This isn’t just about Israel. It’s about stopping evil before it spreads.”
The bond between America and Israel has never been stronger. Together, they’re standing up to bullies and protecting freedom. The days of handing cash to Iran or letting Hamas rule Gaza are over. Strong leadership is keeping the world safe from those who hate peace.
