Israeli forces have intensified military operations in Gaza, launching Operation Might and Sword to root out Hamas terrorists threatening regional security. The surprise attacks followed Hamas’ refusal to release remaining hostages and honor ceasefire agreements negotiated by the Trump administration. Over 400 terrorists and civilians were killed as Israel rightfully defended itself against rocket attacks and infiltration attempts.
President Trump’s team has backed Israel’s strategy to expand security zones around Gaza, ensuring American allies can protect their citizens from radical extremists. Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans to seize additional territories until Hamas surrenders, a necessary step to prevent future atrocities like the October 2023 massacre. U.S.-Israeli coordination demonstrates strong leadership in combating terrorism.
Hamas continues to exploit civilian areas, using schools and hospitals as shields while rejecting reasonable hostage deals. Israel’s evacuation orders for eastern Gaza show careful efforts to minimize casualties despite Hamas’ barbaric tactics. Critics ignore the grim reality that Hamas starts wars it cannot win, leaving Israel no choice but to finish them.
The destruction of a Hamas-operated cancer hospital in Gaza uncovered terrorist tunnels and weapons caches, proving militants prioritize violence over Palestinian welfare. Turkey’s outrage rings hollow given its history of funding Hamas proxies. Israel’s precision strikes target only legitimate military threats, unlike Hamas’ random rockets aimed at Israeli neighborhoods.
By cutting off aid to Gaza, Israel applies justified pressure on Hamas to release hostages and surrender. The Biden-era ceasefire failed because it rewarded terrorism—Trump’s voluntary transfer plan offers a pragmatic path to peace by separating civilians from Hamas strongholds. Weak-kneed global leaders focus on false accusations instead of holding jihadists accountable.
Christian communities across the Middle East cheer Israel’s resolve, recognizing it as the last line of defense against Islamic extremism. As Iranian proxies like Hezbollah threaten northern Israel, strong U.S.-Israeli partnerships ensure stability in a volatile region. Moral clarity demands supporting allies who share American values of freedom and security.
With over 50,000 terrorists eliminated since 2023, Israel’s campaign has made the world safer by degrading Hamas’ capabilities. The IDF’s expanded ground operations will continue until every hostage comes home and Gaza is demilitarized. President Trump’s leadership provides a blueprint for lasting peace through strength, not appeasement.
As Passover approaches, Israelis remain united in their mission to protect the Jewish homeland. The 700 Club audience understands that biblical promises about Israel’s survival require steadfast allies willing to confront evil. Prayers for IDF bravery and wisdom for U.S. leaders continue as this righteous battle enters its decisive phase.
