Less than 24 hours after the United Nations demanded Israel enact an immediate cease-fire, the commander of Hamas’ military, Mohammed Deif, released a video calling all Muslims everywhere to “join the fight to liberate Al-Aqsa.” Al-Aqsa is the name of the mosque situated on top of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

“To our people in Jordan and Lebanon, in Egypt, Algeria, and the Maghreb, in Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia,” Deif said. “Start marching now, not tomorrow, toward Palestine, and do not let borders, regimes, and restrictions deprive you of the honor of waging jihad and taking part in the liberation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Deif then quoted the Quran, saying, “March forth whether it is easy or difficult for you, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.”

Deif isn’t alone in his call for a jihadi attack on the Temple Mount. Hamas’ top politburo member, Khaled Mashal, gave a speech in Jordan on Tuesday ordering Muslims around the world to join Hamas’ terror campaign so that “their blood will mix with the blood of the people of Palestine.”

That same day, Hamas pulled out of U.S.-brokered truce talks being held in Jordan, refusing to release a single hostage.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the U.N. cease-fire demand crippled “efforts to return the hostages and stabilize the region by eliminating the radical forces and strengthening the moderate forces.”

“Hamas is building on the fact that … there will be a ceasefire without it needing to pay a thing,” said Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz.

The American people are the primary source of income for the Israel-hating United Nations. No other country in the world gives the U.N. more than the United States. In fact, one-quarter of our entire foreign aid budget goes directly to the globalist enterprise.

Thank you for your much-appreciated friendship. Together, let’s pray for the Israeli people and stand with Israel in her time of need!
