OUTRAGE: Hamas Terror Tunnel Found Beneath 2 UN Schools in Gaza - CBN News Tzippe Barrow

Hamas Attack Tunnel in Gaza

OUTRAGE: Hamas Terror Tunnel Found Beneath 2 UN Schools in Gaza

06-12-2017

JERUSALEM, Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it's time for the United Nations to "reconsider the continued existence" of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA).

Netanyahu made the comments against the backdrop of the recent discovery of a Hamas terror tunnel constructed beneath two UNRWA schools in the Gaza Strip.

"A Hamas tunnel has recently been discovered under two schools in the Gaza Strip. Hamas is using schoolchildren as human shields and this is the enemy that we have been fighting against for many years, an enemy that is committing a twofold war crime. On the one hand, it first attacks innocent civilians and then hides behind children," Netanyahu said, adding that he'd instructed the Foreign Ministry director general to file an official protest with the U.N. Security Council against Hamas regarding the tunnel.

He told cabinet ministers he'd discussed UNRWA with U.S. U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley last week and thanked her for the strong stance she's taking on behalf of Israel at the United Nations.

"Since World War Two, there has been – and continue to be today – millions of refugees. And these millions have the U.N. High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), while most of the Palestinian refugees are settled and have a separate commission. This is UNRWA; it has its own institutions and considerable incitement against Israel," Netanyahu explained.

UNRWA Perpetuates the 'Refugee Problem'

"I regret that UNRWA, to a large degree, by its very existence, perpetuates – and does not solve – the Palestinian refugee problem. Therefore, the time has come to disband UNRWA and integrate it into the UNHCR," said Netanyahu.

UNRWA spokesman Christopher Gunness responded by saying only the U.N. General Assembly has the authority to decide UNRWA's fate, noting that in December "a large majority" extended the agency's mandate this past December by three years.

Gunness said UNRWA condemned "the existence of such tunnels in the strongest possible terms."

UNRWA employees discovered the tunnel on June 1 during the construction of an extension of one of the buildings, while students were on summer vacation.

Like other Hamas attack tunnels, it runs from inside Gaza toward the Israeli border and about 2-3 meters (yards) under the schools.

According to Gunness, UNRWA reached an agreement with Hamas "…to seal the tunnel under its premises as an immediate priority" after "robustly" intervening and protesting to Hamas.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum called Netanyahu's remarks "baseless accusations," saying Hamas has nothing to do with the tunnel and warning UNRWA "to withdraw its accusations against Hamas" to avoid jeopardizing its relationship with Hamas.

Meanwhile, Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai said, "It is clear as day that the Arab world in its entirety now understands that the terrorist organization Hamas is destroying the Gaza Strip and eliminating any prospects of a better future for Gazans. Perhaps it is time for the residents of Gaza to understand it themselves," the Israeli daily Israel Hayom reported.

Trump Won't Move US Embassy to Jerusalem, but He Did Make This Promise - CBN News Benjamin Gill,Tzippe Barrow

Trump Won't Move US Embassy to Jerusalem, but He Did Make This Promise

JERUSALEM, Israel – President Donald Trump decided today he will not be moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

During his campaign, Trump promised to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, thrilling Israelis and many pro-Israel Christian voters. But the White House says he can't do it just yet.

CBN's docudrama on this 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War, "In Our Hands: The Battle for Jerusalem" returns to theaters tonight after debuting to sold-out theaters. Click here to find a theater in your area.

"No one should consider this step to be in any way a retreat from the President's strong support for Israel and for the United States-Israel alliance," the White House said in a statement.

The statement makes clear the president made the decision because he intends to push ahead with plans for peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

"President Trump made this decision to maximize the chances of successfully negotiating a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, fulfilling his solemn obligation to defend America's national security interests," the statement said.

"But, as he has repeatedly stated his intention to move the embassy, the question is not if that move happens, but only when," it continued.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement expressing disappointment with the decision.

"Israel's consistent position is that the American embassy, like the embassies of all countries with whom we have diplomatic relations, should be in Jerusalem, our eternal capital. Maintaining embassies outside the capital drives peace further away by helping keep alive the Palestinian fantasy that the Jewish people and the Jewish state have no connection to Jerusalem," the statement said.

"Though Israel is disappointed that the embassy will not move at this time, we appreciate today's expression of President Trump’s friendship to Israel and his commitment to moving the embassy in the future."

Many were hoping the president would announce his decision to move the embassy during his recent visit. Now he has kicked the can down the road like his predecessors, former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush, postponing the decision for another six months.

For more than two decades, the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act, stipulating that the embassy be relocated to Jerusalem, has been pushed off.

The waiver is almost always justified on the basis of further complicating the peace process between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which actively warns against such a move.

While Trump reportedly would like to fulfill his campaign promise, he appears to have opted for postponement to avoid condemnation by Arab nations and other Western allies.

At a Jerusalem Day event last week, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said to President Trump, "…we are grateful and say again that we want to see the transfer of the embassy to Jerusalem."

Trump's Promises to Israel Foretold in the Bible? - CBN News Tzippe Barrow

Trump's Promises to Israel Foretold in the Bible?

05-21-2017

CBN News Tzippe Barrow

JERUSALEM, Israel – Donald and Melania Trump's first stop on their premier international tour benefitted royalty. That's how it was planned and that's how it's being orchestrated.

Saudi Arabia 'put on the dog' for the president and his contingency, welcoming them with as much flare as the monarchy could muster up. They wanted the world to see how seriously they take their newfound friendship with President Trump and his efforts to spread goodwill among the world's three great monotheistic religions.

Americans are thrilled with the respect shown its president. And they believe it will produce a joint effort to fight the message of radical Islamic extremism.

Amid all the finery and lavish display, the Saudis pressed their point at a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, who touted Trump's "new approach and determination" to end the Israeli-Arab conflict.

"He certainly has the vision and we believe the strength and the decisiveness, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands prepared to work with the United States in order to bring about peace between Israelis and Palestinians – and Israelis and Arabs," the prince said, Arutz7 reported.

Fifteen years ago, the Saudi monarchy came up with a workable plan, one that all nations could agree on, except Israel.

In 2002, it announced a peace plan, backed by the Arab League, to resolve the conflict. They presented it as the best possible way to bring peace – not just in Israel – but in all of the Middle East.

The plan calls for Israel to roll back to the pre-1967 armistice lines, divide its capital and accept the "right of return" of as many as 6.5 million descendants of Arabs who left the country in 1948 and 1967 and have been kept in refugee status for future use against the Jewish state.

And in exchange for that, many Arab League member nations will accept Israel's right to exist – and maybe even sign a peace treaty with it, the way Egypt and Jordan did. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordan's King Abdullah II are both lined up with the Saudi initiative.

Here's the short version according to God's plan. Sooner or later, all the nations of the world are going to unite against Israel.

In 1948, none of Israel's Arab neighbors accepted the U.N. partition. Instead, they attacked the nascent Jewish state, confident they would be victorious. They weren't.

Nearly 70 years later, they're professing, in the name of peace, to accept the original partition, dubbed "Auschwitz borders" because they're indefensible.

As the nation prepares to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War, when it defeated another multi-pronged attack by neighboring Arab countries, the nations of the world are calling on it to cede Judea and Samaria and re-divide Jerusalem, not a winning proposition from Israel's point of view.

It's not a little ironic that the man who campaigned on a pro-Israel platform may turn out to be God's chosen vessel to bring the Jewish state to the point that He steps in to defend her.

Peace, peace when there is no peace? Un-walled villages? Is it all coming to pass before our eyes?

Time will certainly tell.

Terrorists Strike, Anti-Semitism Spikes in US as Israel Remembers Holocaust - TZIPPE BARROW CBN NEWS

Terrorists Strike, Anti-Semitism Spikes in US as Israel Remembers Holocaust

4/26/2017 TZIPPE BARROW/CBN NEWS

At the opening ceremony of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) at Jerusalem's Yad VaShem Holocaust Museum Sunday evening, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin began by telling how Jews in the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp celebrated the first night of Hanukkah in 1943.

The rabbi lit a candle, he said, and led the prisoners in the traditional holiday prayer.

"Blessed are you, Lord our God, who has given us life and sustained us and allowed us to reach this season," he prayed, thanking God from inside the death camp.

Rivlin then said, "I stand here on this evening of awe, in the rebuilt Jerusalem, the capital city of the State of Israel, and in the name of our valiant brothers and sisters, victims of the Shoah, and the survivors, who struggled for survival, for their Jewishness, and for their humanity ... am Yisrael chai" [the people of Israel live]!

And that was evident on Monday when the two-minute memorial siren sounded throughout Israel. People on the street bowed their heads, while people driving stopped their cars and stood next to them.

Hours before Sunday evening's ceremony, a Palestinian teen stabbed four people near the Tel Aviv promenade. Police arrested the attacker and took him in for questioning. All four are recovering from their wounds.

Again Monday, a woman from Duma, an Arab village near Nablus, stabbed a female soldier at the Kalandiya checkpoint. Paramedics evacuated the soldier to the hospital in moderate condition. The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) named the attacker as Asya Kabaneh, 41, from an Arab village near Nablus.

A mother of nine, the woman told investigators "she has been engaged in a lengthy conflict with her husband, who has threatened to divorce her." Following a quarrel Sunday evening over their children's education, she decided to commit a terror attack so security forces would shoot her, telling investigators she was "fed up" with her life.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) says the first quarter of 2017 showed a whopping 86 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents—harassment, bomb threats and vandalism—in the U.S., up from a 34 percent increase in 2016.

The ADL published the data in its annual audit of anti-Semitic incidents.

"There's been a significant, sustained increase in anti-Semitic activity since the start of 2016, and what's most concerning is the fact that the numbers have accelerated over the past five months," ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement.

According to the report, California, New York, New Jersey, Florida and Massachusetts, areas with a large Jewish population, had the highest number of incidents.

In other words, 72 years after six million Jews perished at the hands of Hitler's regime, anti-Semitism in the United States is rising at unprecedented rates.

'Voice of Hope' to Broadcast from Israel - CBN News Tzippe Barrow

'Voice of Hope' to Broadcast from Israel

CBN News Tzippe Barrow

JERUSALEM, Israel – The State of Israel took another step in its prophetic calling to be a light to the nations by licensing the Voice of Hope radio network to broadcast from Israel to Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey.

By providing a radio broadcast frequency to the evangelical Christian network, Israel is helping Voice of Hope reach out to Arab Christians suffering intense persecution in many Middle Eastern countries.

Israeli Communication Minister Tzachi Hanegbi said the programming will be "an uplifting tool and a benefit to our neighbors."

"This radio station exemplifies the deep connection and unique bond that Israel has with the American people and between Jews and Christians. We are certain that the message of hope that will be brought by the station will be an uplifting tool and a benefit to our neighbors," Hanegbi said. "The State of Israel supports any message of peace to the people in neighboring countries and this is why we decided to support the reestablishment of the Voice of Hope."

CBN News has a special connection to the outreach.

In 1979, the late George Otis founded the Voice of Hope, which broadcast from southern Lebanon for nearly 20 years. Otis also founded Middle East Television (METV), which he later passed on to CBN.

When the Israeli military left southern Lebanon in 2000, METV relocated to Cyprus.

Today, Voice of Hope is owned and operated by Strategic Communications Group, a global evangelical radio network reaching Latin America and Africa.

Founder and President John Tayloe said the programming will feature Christian Arab presenters, Arabic Christian music, news, education, drama and inspirational messages.

"I am excited that this powerful Christian radio station was licensed by the State of Israel to deliver a message of hope and encouragement to the people of the Middle East," Tayloe said in a press release. "The Voice of Hope is established in support of Christians of the Middle East and is a gift of love from Christians in the United States and Canada."

Former British PM: Israel 'a Cause for Hope in the Region'

03-30-2017

CBN News Tzippe Barrow

JERUSALEM, Israel – Former British Prime Minister and Middle East E.U. envoy Tony Blair says the Israel he's come to know over the years is open minded, tolerant and willing to work with others.

Blair, who spoke at the AIPAC conference earlier this week, says the Middle East needs more of what Israel has.

Israel, he said, is "a cause for hope in the region." He described the Jewish state as "creative, innovative and dynamic."

"If you want a cause for hope in the region, well, Israel's a cause for hope," he said. "So the fact is this is a place I've gotten to know well, and I just want to say that it's so important that we get this message across, not just in America but in Europe as well."

Blair, getting ready to make his 178th trip to Israel, says while Israeli politics are "argumentative, full of disputes [and] full of differences," the nation is nonetheless "vibrant and capable and what it's created is amazing."

Blair says there has to be a united front against Islamic extremists.

"It's a battle against extremism in favor of mutual respect across boundaries of race and faith and culture," he continued. "If we want the Middle East to succeed, we need to base this new partnership not just on interests, but on basic human values of dignity, respect and tolerance for all."

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is quietly exploring the possibility of inviting the Arab Gulf states, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel to a summit, the Jerusalem Post reported, quoting an anonymous Israeli source, who said, "I think it's feasible, but the question is what happens after."

Israel Prepares Mass Evacuations for Future Wars - CBN News Tzippe Barrow

Israel Prepares Mass Evacuations for Future Wars

03-22-2017

CBN News Tzippe Barrow

JERUSALEM, Israel – Should war erupt on the northern border with Hezbollah or on the southern border with Hamas, Israel's Home Front Command is prepared to evacuate up to 250,000 civilians to safety.

The evacuation plan, called "Safe Distance," would rehouse civilians in the line of fire to hotels, schools or guest houses on kibbutzim.

"In places where we understand there is great danger to civilians…we will evacuate," Col. Itzik Bar with the Home Front Command told The Associated Press.

Bar said Hezbollah has honed its combat skills in Syria, fighting alongside President Bashar al-Assad's forces. "We want a meeting of army and Hezbollah forces and not civilians with Hezbollah forces," he said.

In the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006, Hezbollah fired more than 4,000 rockets on northern Israel, while the IDF targeted military posts in southern Lebanon. A cross-border attack on an IDF base by a Hezbollah terror cell sparked the month-long war.

During Operation Protective Edge, the IDF's 51-day military incursion into the Gaza Strip during July and August 2014, thousands of Israelis living near the border left their homes.

Gaza-based jihadists fired more than 3,500 rockets at Israel, which included about 1,000 mortar shells and more than 60 long-range rockets capable of reaching major population centers, including Beersheva, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Iron Dome anti-missile batteries intercepted more than 600 rockets and missiles, a 90 percent success rate. With the recent addition of David's Sling, designed to intercept mid-range rockets, aircraft and cruise missies, and the Arrow 3 batteries for long-range missiles, Israel is better prepared than its ever been against rocket and missile attacks,

While Israel continues its preparations, both defensive and offensive, to meet any future confrontations, Hezbollah and Hamas say they've rebuilt their rocket arsenals.

Earlier this month, Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett said any future war with Hezbollah would send Lebanon "back to the Middle Ages."
