Is Israel going back to war? Is President Trump serious about relocating Palestinians from Gaza? THE ROSENBERG REPORT

With the Gaza ceasefire deal looking increasingly fragile and the White House throwing its full support behind the Israeli government, ALL ISRAEL NEWS Editor-in-Chief Joel Rosenberg believes that Israel is about to go back to war. He calls on Evangelicals to pray for “full and total victory in Gaza.”

Rosenberg: Israel is getting ready to go back to war

“I've been talking to a lot of sources – Israeli, Arab, American at senior levels,” Rosenberg said in the latest episode of his weekly program THE ROSENBERG REPORT, recorded at the TBN headquarters in Dallas, Texas. “Colleagues and friends of ours are being mobilized into the reserves again and they're getting ready to go back to war.”

Rosenberg argued that the first phase of the hostage release deal has concluded, leaving the nation of Israel “so deeply grieved and angry.” 

On one hand, he explained that Israelis were grateful to see all the hostages scheduled for release during that stage reunited with their families.

“They've almost been resurrected,” he said.

On the other hand, Rosenberg noted that anger is rising among the Israeli public.

“Why? Because we see these hostages coming out and they're in horrible conditions. Most of them look like they're coming out of concentration camps during the Nazi times. They're gaunt. They've lost so much weight. They've been nearly starved to death. And then they get released in these wicked ceremonies where they are being taunted and jeered at by hundreds and hundreds of Hamas terrorists and hundreds and sometimes thousands of Palestinians cheering,” said Rosenberg. 

Making matters even worse, was the tragic and outrageous release of the bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, and the elderly Israeli citizen, Oded Lifshitz, who was murdered on Oct. 7, 2023. 

“They were strangled by hand within the first month of captivity,” Rosenberg said of the Bibas family. “Their life was brutally snuffed out by Satanic demon possessed terrorists. Who then, if that weren't horrible enough, then pummeled their bodies, desecrated their bodies with rocks to make it look like they died by a building collapsing on them after an Israeli airstrike.”

“People were livid,” he described. “We are dealing with trauma, and with anger. I believe all of it is leading Prime Minister Netanyahu and his cabinet to say, ‘We are getting really close to going back to war – to unleashing the Israeli military to go in on a ground invasion, air attack, naval forces.”

On top of that, Rosenberg noted that Israel would have full support from the Trump administration, should the government decide to send Israel Defense Forces (IDF) forces back into Gaza to crush Hamas. 

“Trump has reversed all the nonsense of the Biden-Harris period, where we were fighting on a seven-front war with one arm tied behind our back,” he said. “Trump had flowing weapons, resupplying our ammunition and giving us full moral support on the world stage. Trump has been sickened by this display of these emaciated, Auschwitz-esque, hostages coming out, and by the cold-blooded murder of two children.”

Rosenberg: Trump is on a ‘no huddle offense’

In his analysis, Rosenberg addressed the “firestorm” that Trump has created by releasing a controversial AI-generated video of his plan for post-war Gaza.

“Trump is on a no huddle offense. He just keeps plowing forward with idea after idea, policy proposal after policy proposal, executive order after executive order. He's got this plan. Nobody in the Middle East knows how to process it,” he said. 

According to Rosenberg, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, himself, had to process the idea of the U.S. taking over Gaza and relocating its Palestinian population while it’s getting "fixed."

“Netanyahu never dreamed of asking President Trump to take over Gaza. It didn't dawn on him,” Rosenberg said. 

In the absence of any reasonable Israeli, Arab or European plan for Gaza, Trump suggested to rebuild the strip in what he considers as a safe, fair and compassionate way. His plan entails moving roughly two million Palestinians out of harm’s way by relocating them to Arab states. 

When Trump was asked by Fox News if Palestinians would be able to go back to Gaza after its reconstruction, he replied, “It would be years before it could happen.”

In the meantime, the president has been talking about building a “permanent place” for them, even though Arab countries are rejecting his initiative.

Rosenberg: Does President Trump mean it?

Rosenberg thinks Trump is being very serious about taking ownership of Gaza and rebuilding it. But is he really going to move two million Gazans out?  

“That I'm not sure about,” he said. 

According to Rosenberg, this rhetoric could either be part of Trump’s negotiating tactic with the Arab world – particularly with the Saudis – or his actual game plan. 

“Is it possible that Trump is saying to the Arab world, ‘Look, you guys have done nothing. You've come up with no plan, you've offered no money. This is what's going to happen,’” he speculated. 

“But it's also possible that President Trump might be saying to the Palestinians ‘enough, you've forfeited your right to live there. They've been offered peace deals for 80 years, and they never accepted it.”

Rosenberg: Could Trump be setting Bible prophecy into motion? 

“There is a serious possibility here that Trump, without knowing about it, without having ever read the book of Zephaniah in the Old Testament, may actually be bringing Zephaniah chapter two to fruition,” THE ROSENBERG REPORT host said. 

“The ancient Hebrew prophet says, ‘In the last days, before the tribulation, before the great day of the Lord, Gaza is going to be abandoned,’ meaning all of its residents are going to leave and then Gaza is going to be handed back over to Judah. That's one of the tribes of Israel.”

Could that be what Trump is setting into motion?
