Two surprising stories coming out of the Arab discussions in Qatar...
Qatar says it is pursuing legal action against Israel at ICC (Jerusalem Post)
Saudi Arabia, nuclear-armed Pakistan sign mutual defense pact (Jerusalem Post)
UK to reportedly recognize a Palestinian state as early as this weekend (YNET)
Protests, clashes, and chants of 'Death to Khamenei' in Iran (Israel HaYom)
Thousands of archaeological relics rescued in Gaza ahead of IDF strike (Times Of Israel)
Headline 1 Qatar says it is pursuing legal action against Israel at ICC
Qatari State Minister Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi announced in a post on X on Wednesday that Qatar was pursuing legal avenues to "respond to the Israeli aggression against the State of Qatar
Qatari State Minister ... and other Qatari representatives met with ICC deputy prosecutor Nazhat Khan on Wednesday and held two meetings on avenues to prosecute Israel.
It is meant to legally challenge Israel for its "aggression against the State of Qatar."
"During the two meetings, I reaffirmed Qatar’s commitment to supporting the path of international justice and ensuring that those who committed crimes are held accountable and do not escape punishment under the framework of international criminal law," he wrote.
Here's a country that is housing some of the worst terrorists in the world talking about interactional justice. Oh, the irony.
Headline 2 Saudi Arabia, nuclear-armed Pakistan sign mutual defense pact (Jerusalem Post)
Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan signed a formal mutual defense pact on Wednesday, in a move that significantly strengthens a decades-long security partnership amid heightened regional tensions.
The enhanced defense ties come as Gulf Arab states grow increasingly wary about the reliability of the United States as their longstanding security guarantor. Israel's attack on Qatar last week heightened those concerns.
... Asked whether Pakistan would be obliged to provide Saudi Arabia with a nuclear umbrella under the pact, the official said: "This is a comprehensive defensive agreement that encompasses all military means."
The takeaway here is that the nations of the Middle East are rethinking their reliance on the U.S. as their guarantor of the security. This is consistent with the biblical picture of the last days where the U.S. is non-player in the region.
See our book 25 Signs We Are Near The End, Sign 11... where we emphasize this fact. The book is a free download from our website educatingourworld under the heading of Bible Prophecy.
Headline 3 Britain will recognize a Palestinian state this weekend (YNET)
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will announce at the weekend that the United Kingdom will recognize a Palestinian state — shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump, who opposes the move, leaves the country. According to a report published Wednesday evening, Starmer delayed the announcement until after Trump’s departure out of concern the issue might dominate a joint news conference the two will hold tomorrow.
This recognition, which carries no legal basis, is another pathetic attempt by the West to make something happen that is impossible to take place, namely, peace between Israel and its neighbors.
Headline 4 Protests, clashes, and chants of 'Death to Khamenei' in Iran (Israel HaYom)
Iran's opposition marked the third anniversary of the killing of Mahsa Amini, who died after being beaten by the regime's morality police. Her death sparked a nationwide protest movement. Overnight, thousands marched in Tehran, while political prisoners burned a noose inside prison in defiance of executions and religious coercion.
The killing of Mahsa Amini, a young woman beaten to death by the regime's morality police, was for the crime of refusing to wear a hijab.
It is so sad what is happening to the wonderful people of Iran. However, the gospel continues to flourish in this country in spite of its leadership.
Headline 5 Thousands of archaeological relics rescued in Gaza ahead of IDF strike (Times Of Israel)
Army says Hamas was using warehouse that contained artifacts from over 25 years of excavations, including some of the oldest known evidence of Christianity in Gaza
AP — Nine hours of frantic negotiation with the Israeli military. A last-minute scramble to find trucks in a devastated Gaza Strip, where fuel is in short supply. Six hours of frantic packing, carefully stacking cardboard boxes on open flatbed trucks.
This is an encouraging story. Seemingly every day, some ancient artifact is discovered somewhere in the Middle East, that confirms the reliability of Scripture. God's truth cannot be buried forever!
