ISRAEL - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed the creation of a new military bloc modeled after NATO and called the “Abraham Alliance,” aimed against Iran. Netanyahu spoke before the joint session of the US Congress on Wednesday. It was his fourth address to American lawmakers, beating Winston Churchill’s record, although about 70 House and Senate members declined to attend for one reason or another. “America forged a security alliance in Europe to counter the growing Soviet threat,” Netanyahu said at one point. “Likewise, America and Israel today can forge a security alliance in the Middle East to counter the growing Iranian threat.” “I think we should call it the Abraham Alliance,” he said of the proposed NATO-like bloc.

ISRAEL - Hezbollah “crossed all lines” with a rocket attack that killed ten people, Israel Katz has said. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has vowed to launch a “disproportionate” response after Hezbollah allegedly killed ten people in a rocket attack on a football field in the Golan Heights. The incident has brought Israel to the brink of “all-out war” with the group, Katz has warned. Most of the dead were children, and more than a dozen were injured by the strike in the town of Majdal Shams on Saturday, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom ambulance service. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) blamed the attack on “the Hezbollah terror group.”

ISRAEL - The airstrike on Saturday that killed 12 children has devastated the Druze community and threatens to spark an escalation that no one wants. The rocket, which Israel claims was fired from a Hezbollah launcher on Saturday evening, was probably aimed at an Israeli base on Mount Hermon — a mountain that straddles the border of Lebanon, Syria and the Golan Heights — but overshot and landed in Majdal Shams. The militant group, which has fired more than 6,000 projectiles into Israel since October 7, has denied firing the rocket. But before the terrible results became known Hezbollah media had boasted that it had launched the projectile. This is the “miscalculation” both sides have feared all along. An inadvertent escalation that would break “the rules” and force the other side to escalate as well.

CHINA - Beijing has warned Manila against hosting US intermediate-range missile systems in the country, stating that it could ultimately trigger an “arms race” in the region. The comments were made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday as he met with his Philippines counterpart, Enrique Manalo, on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Vientiane, Laos. The Philippines and China are facing serious difficulties and risk further straining relations since Manila has “repeatedly violated the consensus of both sides and its own commitments,” Wang said. The potential deployment of US intermediate-range missiles is particularly concerning for Beijing, he added.

SWEDEN - Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum has been pushing for people to eat insects instead of meat to stop climate change. Because apparently cows are now bad for the planet and fart too much. So a Swedish company called Tebrito has been working hard to produce mealworms for insect proteins to put in human food like granola and protein bars. They got a whopping $4.2 million in investments to push this stuff. And now they have gone bankrupt because it seems like nobody wants to eat their insects. In 2023 they only had a revenue of a meager $49,000 and lost almost $12.6 million! In other words, nobody is buying their insects. Looks like people are REJECTING the WEF agenda.

FRANCE - The 2024 Summer Olympics are finally set to get underway in Paris today amid some substantial safety concerns like ISIS threats and this morning, large-scale vandalism of France's train network. These high-level issues are momentarily distracting observers from another train wreck affecting most Olympic Games: cost overrun. Spending more than you have budgeted for has become the norm for host cities, but as Statista's Katharina Buchholz reports, Paris is actually not the worst of the bunch (as of current estimates) despite an overrun of more than 100 percent landing it at a cost of $8.7 billion for hosting the Games (excluding investments in urban and transportation infrastructure). This is easily topped by Barcelona, which ran 266 percent over cost in 1992 and Rio de Janeiro in 2016, which was a whopping 352 percent over budget.

USA - Several X accounts that posted videos and/or screenshots about the absurdities of the Olympics' opening ceremonies have been hit with Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) complaints enforced by Elon Musk's social media platform. As we penned earlier, the opening ceremonies were just absolutely bizarre - and, in some cases, inappropriate for children to watch. To sum up, the Olympics can't tolerate mockery and criticism of the "Woke Games," so they resort to censorship. Sports spectacles like the Olympics, the Super Bowl, the Commonwealth Games and a host of other events have become increasingly political in their messaging and their pageantry in recent years.

UK - Quiz question: how much time do you suppose the House of Commons devoted to debating net zero before it made it the law of the land? The question is of more than academic interest: eliminating carbon emissions is the single biggest industrial challenge humanity has set itself. That we were the first large country to write that ambition into law was a very big deal. Yet we never really had a national conversation about why we’re actually doing this and what the consequences will be. In 2019, when that law went onto the statute book, the conventional wisdom was that it was all about climate change — about showing global leadership, even if it required domestic sacrifices.

USA - A video has emerged showing previous comments of Vice President Kamala Harris questioning whether young people should forgo having children due to “climate anxiety.” While speaking at Reading Area Community College in Reading, Pennsylvania, Harris spoke about how during the 2020 presidential election, there was a “record turnout” because younger voters showed up. Harris added how young voters were vocal about how they were “going to direct and decide” the future of our nation, and how they have taken charge of issues such as climate change.

USA - Right now there is a tremendous amount of debate about what values our society should embrace. The truth is that we should return to the values that made western society great in the first place. The values that I am talking about are the values that we find in the Bible. The Bible also places a very high value on family. In the Ten Commandments we are told to honor our fathers and our mothers, and throughout the rest of the Torah we are given very specific instructions about how families are to operate. Today, much of the population has rejected the Bible and the traditional family unit is relentlessly mocked.

FRANCE - The opening of the Paris games featured drag queens and transsexuals posing as Jesus and his apostles. The Bishops’ Conference of France has denounced the organizers of the Olympic Games over an LGBTQ-themed parody of the Last Supper during the event's opening ceremony. The organizers have claimed that the performance reflected their “values and principles.” The ceremony, which took place in central Paris on Friday night, concluded with a troupe of drag queens, homosexuals, and transsexuals posing at a table, as Jesus Christ and his apostles appeared in Leonardo Da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’.

FRANCE - The 2024 Paris Olympics are underway, but the opening ceremony has made many spectators stop watching the games. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, during the Olympic Games opening ceremony, a group of provocatively dressed drag queens stood behind a long table, appearing to recreate the Lord’s Supper. During another part of the opening ceremony, a pale horse raced at full speed with a rider donning an Olympic cape. The appearance of the pale horse resulted in hundreds of social media users stating that it symbolized the pale horse spoken of in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Revelation 6:8 reads, “And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”

USA - Catholic leaders from Students for Life of America, the Lepanto Institute, and American Life League are warning that Kamala Harris’s record of opposing Catholics is raising concerns about the threat she presents to religious freedoms. After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden-Harris formed the DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force to enforce the act.

USA - Dr Ben Carson recently sat down with Tucker Carlson, and the two discussed several topics, such as Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race, the Trump shooting, Kamala Harris, and much more. Kamala Harris was brought up when Tucker asked Dr Carson, “What do you think of Kamala Harris?” Carson responded, “I think she is a politician. And she’s interested in the accumulation of power and control.” Tucker asked Carson again, “Do you think she believes in anything?” The former HUD Secretary answered quickly, “Yes, I think she is a Marxist.” Tucker then asked Carson a very important question: “Do you think Kamala can win?” Dr Carson responded, “She can win. This is going to be a great test of the power of the media to take someone who formerly was universally disliked and transform them into a godlike figure.”

UK - The concept of “global warming,” later changed to “climate change,” is used as an excuse for a wide range of controlling mechanisms. The world we know is about to come to an end but ninety-nine people in a hundred have no idea just how bad things are going to become. Without fossil fuels, we will be dragged back into the 19th century. Solar panels and wind turbines will not stop this from happening. The relatively small group of individuals behind the drive of the "NET ZERO" conspiracy were originally inspired by an erroneous belief that the global population had grown too large and needed to be reduced and controlled.
