In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength: [Isaiah 26; vv 1-4]
Behind the Scenes of the Trump - Netanyahu Meeting……
IDSF - Israel's Defence and Security Forum
In today’s briefing, JNS CEO Alex Traiman shares his experience in Washington DC as an Israeli journalist covering the talks between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump.
He talks about the media bias in covering the US - Israel relationship and he argues that credible, first-hand sources should be listed to cover reporters and networks relying exclusively on anonymous sources for their leads.
HERE is the recording of the briefing from today.
Our next briefing will be Friday 11 July 2025
Netanyahu Wraps up Meetings with Trump….
Netanyahuy’s second sit-down with Trump in as many days ended with no public component; Witkoff delays Doha trip in sign talks not yet ripe after expressing optimism deal can be reached this week
Netanyahu wrapped up his second White House meeting with US President Donald Trump in as many days without any public announcement of a breakthrough in the ongoing Gaza ceasefire and hostage release talks, which was the primary topic of the sit-down.
Currently, Netanyahu is planned to depart from Washington DC tomorrow and arrive in Israel on Friday.
The possibility of such a declaration appeared to rise when the meeting was publicly added to Netanyahu’s schedule just hours in advance, with Trump saying they would discuss the Gaza Strip, while US special envoy Mideast Steve Witkoff expressed hope a deal could be reached this week.
But as Netanyahu and Trump met for over an hour in the Oval Office along with US Vice President JD Vance, two sources familiar with the matter said that Witkoff decided to push back his flight to Doha, where he had been slated to join ongoing proximity talks between Israel and Hamas.
Witkoff initially was slated to fly to Qatar on Tuesday, the sources said, adding that a new departure date had yet to be scheduled.
The US envoy informed mediators that he still plans to travel to Doha in order to help bring the deal across the finish line, with his decision to push back the trip indicating that a significant amount of progress still needed to be made.
The fifth round of proximity talks in Qatar ended Tuesday night without significant progress.
Why"? The two parties demands are intractable.
An Arab Palestinian official stated that talks were “at a standstill,” charging that the Israeli negotiations team is “limiting itself to listening rather than negotiating” and consulting on “every issue” with Netanyahu and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, [above] the lead Israeli negotiator who is accompanying the premier in Washington.
The Palestinian official claimed the Israeli team lacks the authority to make actual decisions, “a continuation of the stalling policy of Netanyahu to obstruct any potential agreement.”
New Obstacle in Hamas Negotiations….
Arab Palestinian sources involved in the negotiations for a deal with Hamas say that Israel’s initiative to establish the “humanitarian city” in Rafah has become an obstacle in the negotiation rooms taking place in Qatar.
According to the sources, this issue is “stalling” progress in the talks, and Hamas strongly opposes it.
Yesterday, Defence Minister Israel Katz revealed that Israel is preparing to establish the compound on the ruins of the city of Rafah, between the Morag Corridor and the Philadelphi Corridor, with the aim of separating the Arab Palestinian population from Hamas terrorists operating among them.
At least in the initial stage, the intention is to start reducing the population from the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi.
According to the plan, which is being overseen by Defence Ministry Director General Amir Baram, [above] the new city to be built will house approximately 600,000 Palestinians who will undergo screening before entering the compound.
Once inside, people will not be allowed to leave. Subsequently, according to the plan, the entire population of the Gaza Strip would be transferred into the new city.

The Global Irrational Hatred of Israel….
God will continue to allow threats to fester all around Israel because He wills to hone and refine the Jewish people.
Persecution will continue to come to Israel until the Jewish people will at last come to the end of themselves and cry out, "Baruch Habah B'shem Adonai!"
God is leading the Jewish people to the end of themselves. And by the end of the coming Time of Jacob’s Trouble, Israel will find itself in a time of absolute desperation.
Yet, they will be saved out of it.
[Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it. [Jeremiah 30 v 7]
That is when they will realize that their salvation cannot be found in the IDF, or the Mossad, Donald Trump or any other human entity, but only in the Lord God of Israel.
So, in our day, the hostile nations immediately surrounding Israel, and eventually all the countries of the world, will continue to threaten and attack the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.
That will end once the Jewish remnant cries out for the true Jewish Messiah to save them. And He will. The Hebrew prophet Zechariah chapter 14;
“For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one”.
