MK Glick on Attending Trump Inauguration: We Are Living in a Biblical Era
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS
“Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I swore unto their fathers to give them.” Joshua 1:6 (The Israel Bible™)
In an historic first, a delegation of Israeli parliament members attended an American president’s inauguration last week, signaling a decided change in both the political and spiritual relationships between Americans and Israelis, and Jews and Christians.
The delegation to President Donald Trump’s inauguration last Friday, including two Likud members of Knesset, Rabbi Yehudah Glick, an advocate for universal prayer on the Temple Mount, and Sharren Haskel, was organized by Hayovel, a non-profit organization which brings Christian volunteers to Israel. Also in attendance, though not part of the Hayovel delegation, was settler leader Oded Revivi, mayor of Efrat and chief foreign envoy of the Yesha (Judea and Samaria) Council.
“If we want to stand with Israel, we have to start out this administration correctly,” Tommy Waller, founder of Hayovel, told Breaking Israel News, explaining the intention behind forming the delegation. “We have to acknowledge Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and everything that means.”

City of Patriarchs Weeps After Horrific Weekend of Terror By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS
City of Patriarchs Weeps After Horrific Weekend of Terror
“Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man.” Psalms 140:2 (The Israel Bible™)
Once again, Israel is reeling from attacks too terrible to absorb as the focus of terror shifts to Hebron, the holy city of the Cave of the Patriarchs. In two days, two Jews were killed by Palestinian terrorists in the hills of Hebron: a 13-year-old girl was murdered while she slept on Thursday, and a father of ten, a rabbi with hundreds of students, was killed after Palestinian gunmen targeted his family’s car on Friday, before the Sabbath.
Hallel Yafa Ariel, a young teenager with dual US-Israeli citizenship, was stabbed to death Thursday morning in Kiryat Arba, the Jewish community adjacent to Hebron. She was killed as she lay sleeping in her bed by Mohammed Taraireh, a 17-year-old Palestinian from Bani Naim. Hallel was on summer vacation, having just finished 8th grade.
Tareirah climbed the security fence at 8:44 AM and was spotted immediately by security cameras. Tragically, by the time the security team arrived at the scene, Tareirah had already entered the Ariel house through a window and stabbed Hallel dozens of times, ending her life.
A member of the civilian Rapid Response Team shot and killed Tareirah. Another member of the team, Yehoshua Gilboa, was severely injured by bullet shrapnel to his upper body and lost his right eye.
Hallel’s funeral on Thursday evening in the ancient Jewish Cemetery in Hebron was attended by thousands, including several government ministers and prominent rabbis.
The terrorist’s mother quickly appeared in a video circulated on social media, praising her son’s actions and calling him a “shahid” (martyr). Rina Ariel, Hallel’s mother, addressed the mother of Tareirah in her eulogy for her daughter.
“I am standing here with a heart filled with pain and I am turning to you, the Arab mother, the Muslim who sent your son out to stab. I raised my daughter with love, but you and the Arab Muslim educators, you taught him to hate. Go, put your house in order,” she said tearfully.
The IDF arrested Tareirah’s sister on Saturday night, charging that she knew of his intentions to commit a terror attack and did nothing to stop him. After Hallel’s murder, Tareirah’s sister appeared on Palestinian television, praising her brother’s actions.
In a Channel 2 television interview on Saturday, Israel’s Minister of Public Security, Gilad Erdan, stated that “some of the blood of those who have been murdered, including in the latest attacks, of Hallel,” was on the hands of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg. Erdan has frequently criticized the social network platform for allowing anti-Israel and inciting material to go unchecked on their site. Tareirah made several posts on his Facebook page prior to the attack, announcing his wish to become a shahid and praising attacks against Israelis.
Shahid is high praise in the Palestinian terror network, indicating someone who has died while killing an Israeli.
Hallel’s murder came three days after Sultan Abu al-Einein, an adviser to PA President Mahmoud Abbas on civil society organizations and a Fatah Central Committee member, said during an interview with the Palestinian news site Donia al-Watan, “Wherever you find an Israeli, slit his throat.”
Less than one day after Hallel was laid to rest, Israel was rocked by another tragedy. On Friday afternoon, a vehicle carrying Palestinian terrorists overtook two Israeli vehicles on Route 60 south of Hebron. They opened fire, hitting the vehicles with dozens of bullets and causing one to overturn. The father in the vehicle, Michael ‘Miki’ Mark, a 48-year-old father of ten, was killed. His wife, Hava, is in serious condition with head injuries. Their son, 15, suffered light injuries and their daughter, 14, suffered serious-to-moderate injuries. The IDF arrested several suspects in the murder on Saturday, but it is believed the killers are still at large.
Rabbi Mark had been the head of the yeshiva (seminary) at Otniel, where his family lives. 7,000 people attended the rabbi’s funeral on Sunday at Har Menuhot Cemetery in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Yehudah Glick, the newest Likud Member of Knesset, hails from the same Jewish community as the Mark family; the two families are close. He arrived at the scene just a few minutes after the attack.
“He was like a brother to me,” Glick said in a statement. “On Friday night, I made Kiddush over wine in a goblet Miki gave me for my 40th birthday.”
Glick is the survivor of a terror attack. In 2014, he was shot four times by a Palestinian
“Yet again a Jew is killed, yet again in the Hebron Hills, and yet again in Otniel,” Glick said. “We are people of peace, people of hope and life, who are struggling against the despicable lovers of death who sow death around the globe.”
Otniel has been a target for terror before. In January, a terrorist infiltrated the Jewish community and attacked Dafna Meir, a mother of 6, in the doorway to her home, brutally killing her.
Glick warned that Israel would stay strong. “You shouldn’t confuse our love of man, our hopes for peace, for weakness or confusion,” he said. “With one hand we build the walls of Jerusalem, the city of peace, and with the other hand we hold a sword and fight to the death with those cursed evil ones, those who desire to drive us out from our beloved land.
“At this time, we cry out in tears from the depths of our hearts to our God in Heaven, ‘Say that we have suffered enough! Our hearts are broken, return from your anger!’
“And to our government we say, ‘Don’t be afraid, the servants of Jacob, because God is with us!’ There is a time for war and a time for peace. Now is the time for war.”
