Scenes of Sharp Contrast in Gaza as Israel Aids the Hungry by Day, Strikes Hamas by Night; France Pushes EU for Palestinian State - CBN NEWS

The Christian Perspective

July 29, 2025 7:00 AM ET

Israel's military has its hands full, trying to finish off the Hamas terrorist threat in Gaza and free the hostages while satisfying international demands to feed hungry Gazans. The IDF is striking Hamas targets by night and dropping aid supplies by day, even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu angrily rejects charges of deliberate starvation on Israel's part.

Israeli analyst Avi Abelow tells CBN News that Jerusalem is dealing with an "immoral and evil enemy" in Hamas, as well as "immoral and morally confused" Western nations. One of those nations, France, will press for a Palestinian state today at the United Nations.

President Trump says the U.S., Israel, and the West are trying to come up with different plans for Gaza and noted that "things would go very quickly" if Hamas didn't have the hostages, who have now been held in Gaza for 662 days. Here's what you need to know.

As ceasefire talks proceeded into a sixth round in Qatar, Israeli forces pounded Hamas targets in Gaza today. Hamas refuses to release hostages until Israel commits to a permanent troop withdrawal, while Israel won't back down on its core goal of eliminating the Hamas threat. President Trump deflected talk of friction between Israel and the U.S., saying the two nations are fully coordinating and "agree completely" that Hamas cannot pose a threat to Israel. Meanwhile, there are growing concerns that Iran is trying to retrieve uranium from the nuclear facilities that were largely destroyed in the U.S. and Israeli attacks last month. Here's what you need to know.
