Very strange things continue to happen in the Middle East. Earlier today, a member of the Turkish Parliament named Hasan Bitmez delivered a passionate speech about the war in Gaza. As he concluded his speech, he boldly declared that Israel would experience the “wrath of Allah”. Moments after ending the speech, he literally collapsed on the stage and other members of the Turkish Parliament rushed to his aid…
A Turkish MP this morning collapsed after lashing out at Israel in parliament. He reportedly shouted that Israel would suffer the “wrath of Allah” and also criticized Erdogan for cooperating with Israel.
He then collapsed with what some are saying is a heart attack
If you have not seen it yet, you can view footage of this shocking incident right here…
We are being told that his “heart reportedly stopped”, but a doctor was able to bring him back…
Various members of Congress rushed to his aid. A doctor who was in the plenum gave him first aid and performed heart massage on him, after which he was sent to the hospital for further treatment. His heart reportedly stopped, but resumed beating after medical intervention. In a later statement it was stated that the condition of the 53-year-old member of parliament is defined as serious and his life is still in danger.
Joe Biden is also speaking out against Israel.
In fact, he just issued “his most scathing criticism since the October 7 terrorist attack”…
President Joe Biden issued a stunning rebuke of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning Israel is losing support across the globe and its conservative government needs to ‘change’.
In a surprise move Biden ramped up pressure on Israel to rein in its bombing campaign in Gaza with his most scathing criticism since the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas.
Biden also accused Israel of not wanting a long-term two-state solution, which would give Palestinians their own nation, but said it must happen.
Of course nothing that Biden has to say is really going to alter the trajectory of the war at this point.
On Monday, Benny Gantz warned U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that recent attacks by Hezbollah will require a very strong response from Israel…
War cabinet minister Benny Gantz told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday that the uptick in attacks by Hezbollah will require a firm Israeli response, as rocket fire by the Lebanese terror group continued to target towns on Israel’s northern border.
“Gantz stated that heightened aggression and increased attacks by Iranian-backed Hezbollah demand of Israel to remove such a threat to the civilian population of northern Israel,” according to an Israeli readout.
And another Israeli official just publicly warned that unless Hezbollah is willing to move their forces back to the Litani River there will be a full-blown war on the northern front…
National security minister Tzachi Hanegbi told Israeli media this weekend that unless diplomacy succeeds in convincing Iran to move its terror proxy back to the Litani River, some 18 miles north of the border, as required by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, war is likely:
“We can no longer accept [Hezbollah’s elite] Radwan force sitting on the border. We can no longer accept Resolution 1701 not being implemented,” he added, referring to a UN Security Council resolution from 2006, at the end of the Second Lebanon War, that barred any Hezbollah presence within almost 30 kilometers of the border with Israel.
Asked directly if there would be a war in the north, Hanegbi said: “The situation in the north must be changed. And it will change. If Hezbollah agrees to change things via diplomacy, very good. But I don’t believe it will.”
Read those paragraphs again.
A full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah is coming.
It is just a matter of time.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that “we will push Hezbollah beyond the Litani River” once the war in the south is completed…
“First of all we will win in the south and then we will deal with the north”, Netanyahu said. “As a first step, we will push Hezbollah beyond the Litani River and later we will also have to take care of the organization itself. If we open two fronts we can find ourselves not winning decisively in either of them,” Netanyahu stated.
So far, the war in the south is going very well for Israel.
The IDF continues to capture more territory, and hundreds of Hamas terrorists are surrendering…
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Hamas’s Jabaliya and Shejaiya battalions in the northern Gaza Strip are “on the verge of being dismantled.”
“We have encircled the last strongholds of Hamas in Jabaliya and Shejaiya, the battalions that were considered invincible, that prepared for years to fight us, are on the verge of being dismantled,” Gallant says at a press conference.
He says hundreds of Hamas operatives have surrendered to Israeli troops in recent days, which he says “shows what is happening” to the terror group.
According to Netanyahu, once the war in the south is completed the Palestinian Authority will not be permitted to govern the Gaza Strip…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that there is no way the Palestinian Authority would be allowed to rule the Gaza Strip in a post-Hamas world during a stormy discussion on Monday in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee.
“Oslo was the mother of all sins. The difference between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is only that Hamas wants to destroy us here and now, and the P.A. wants to do it in stages,” the prime minister said.
Needless to say, many in the Islamic world are extremely upset about this.
Meanwhile, pro-Iranian terror groups continue to attack U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria.
In fact, at this point U.S. forces have been attacked a total of 90 times…
The militant groups have launched a total of 90 attacks against U.S. bases and troops in the Middle East since Oct. 17 and several attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea, including the hijacking of a cargo ship earlier this month.
An umbrella group of Iraqi militants dubbed the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the most recent attacks, which hit the Al-Asad Air Base in Iraq and the Al-Shaddadi Patrol Base in Syria.
Whether you want to admit it or not, when someone attacks your forces 90 times you are at war with them.
When asked about the situation in the Middle East, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said a couple of very interesting things.
First of all, he warned that a “big explosion” could be coming to the region…
Iran’s foreign minister has warned that the war in Gaza could lead to a “big explosion” of conflicts in the Middle East, with Lebanon and Yemen already “involved” and more countries poised to join.
“At least every week, we receive a message from the U.S. telling us that U.S. bases in Syria and Iraq are targeted by some groups,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian told the Doha Forum on Monday.
“At any moment, there is a possibility of a big explosion in the region, one not controllable by any party,” he explained via translator.
Secondly, he admitted that Hamas and Hezbollah have been able to get whatever weapons they need from the black market in Ukraine…
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has issued some surprising remarks claiming that Lebanon-based Hezbollah and Gaza-based Hamas can procure more weapons anytime they want utilizing the thriving arms black market in Ukraine. He suggested this is already happening while addressing a conference in Doha Monday.
He went so far as to say these groups, which the US has listed as terror organizations, can “easily” and “without much effort” get whatever they need in Ukraine.
Just think about this for a moment.
Weapons that were purchased using U.S. taxpayer money are ending up in the hands of Hamas and Hezbollah.
This is a foreign policy failure of epic proportions.
Of course nobody will ever be held accountable.
Our leaders make disastrous decision after disastrous decision, and most Americans don’t seem to care.
But a lot of people will start to wake up once the war in the Middle East spirals completely out of control.
We have reached one of the most critical turning points in all of human history, and it appears that the year ahead of us is going to be a year of war.
