From the cobblestone streets of Lefkara, Cyprus—where I spent the evening walking with my wife Connie—I’m seeing firsthand how far the ripple effects of Israel’s war with Hamas have reached. Just this morning, I woke in Tel Aviv to the sound of sirens. It wasn’t the first time. The Houthi rebels fired two missiles at Israel—one intercepted by Israeli air defenses, the other self-destructing before it even entered Israeli airspace.

“That’s one of several hundred missiles fired since March,” I told my livestream audience. “But none of them have hit anything of consequence. Israel’s air defenses are doing their job, and their response is as measured as it is relentless.”

Israel isn’t merely retaliating. It’s executing precision strikes aimed at dismantling Hamas’ infrastructure and cutting off Iranian supply lines. Just last night, Israeli drones targeted Yemen’s port of Hodeida, destroying heavy equipment that was being used to repair the port and allow more weapons shipments from Tehran.

“They blew up the earth movers, the cranes—anything Iran could use to funnel arms to the Houthis,” I explained. “Israel and its allies are making it harder for the Houthis to maintain their reign of annoyance over Israel. That’s really all it is at this point—annoyance. But one that can’t be ignored.”

The Media’s Full-Court Press

While Israel’s military maintains the upper hand on the ground and in the air, it’s fighting an equally vicious battle in the court of global opinion. Twenty-eight nations recently signed a joint statement demanding Israel halt its offensive.

I asked viewers to consider the implications. “Think about what stopping the war now would mean,” I said. “No hostages returned. Hamas stays in power. Another generation of terrorists grows up in Gaza. More Israelis murdered in the future. That’s what the world is asking for when they say, ‘Stop the war.’”

It’s true, the suffering in Gaza is heartbreaking. But this suffering isn’t arbitrary—it’s the direct result of Hamas’ actions. “This is called consequences. Gaza still holds Israeli hostages. Until they’re freed, pressure must increase. Only then can this end.”

A Divided Island, A Divided World

Cyprus, where I’m spending a brief layover, offers its own cautionary tale. The island has been divided since 1974, when Turkish forces invaded and occupied nearly 40% of the territory. Today, the Greek Cypriot side is prosperous and peaceful. The Turkish-occupied north? Struggling economically and rife with instability.

They’re not carrying guns. They’re carrying lentils, flour, and powdered milk.

Yet the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)—a private group of veterans, logisticians, and volunteers—is being treated like a geopolitical threat. Why? Because GHF has committed the one unpardonable sin in the United Nations’ aid-industrial complex: delivering food without empowering terrorists.

The United Nations isn’t afraid GHF will fail. It’s afraid GHF will succeed. Because if a small, disciplined nonprofit can feed civilians without funneling resources through Hamas, it exposes something the UN has spent decades trying to hide.

This is the story they don’t want told.

A Truckload of Evidence

Washington’s Quiet War on Netanyahu

We’ve learned from a new report that the Biden administration funneled nearly $880 million—yes, almost a billion dollars—into organizations directly or indirectly working to undermine Israel’s current government, to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu out of office.

Why? According to sources, the administration saw him as an obstacle to their Middle East agenda. Publicly, Biden’s team claimed “ironclad” support for Israel, but behind closed doors, they were pressuring Israel to restrain its military responses in Gaza and to allow more humanitarian aid—even as Hamas continued its terror campaign.

It’s political theater. As I see it, trying to topple a democratically elected leader of an allied nation is nothing short of an act of war.

Manufactured Protests and a Dangerous Narrative

In cities like Tel Aviv, protests erupt weekly, with hundreds of participants waving high-quality printed signs and wearing coordinated t-shirts. These aren’t grassroots movements. Someone is paying for them—and now we know who. One left-wing NGO, Blue and White Future, has reportedly received millions from U.S.-based organizations funded by American taxpayer dollars.

The protests push an absurd narrative: that Israel is holding its own citizens hostage by not surrendering to Hamas. One protester claimed,

“The hostages are actually hostages of Hamas and of the Israeli government.”

Let’s be clear: The only thing keeping this war going is Hamas. If they released the hostages and laid down their arms, the conflict could end tomorrow. But they won’t. Instead, they’ve perfected the art of psychological warfare, raising hopes for a ceasefire only to crush them repeatedly.
