Ronen Bergman—Israel Security Agency Warns of Hamas Mega-Terrorist Attack:
Israel’s General Security Agency, or as it is commonly known, the Shin Bet—which is responsible for preventing terrorist attacks inside Israel and in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula—has compiled a report of 2017, where it also outlined the principal challenge anticipated for the coming months. The main points were presented by its chief, Nadav Argaman, last week at a closed session of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
Following are some of the report’s important sections, the ones with the greatest potential for affecting Israel, the Palestinian Authority and the Middle East in the near future. They are based on conversations with sources in the Shin Bet and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) over the past week.
On the escalation of violence after US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the Israeli intelligence assessment is that the violence is clearly declining from week to week. The repeated postponement of US Vice President Mike Pence’s visit to Jerusalem (due to the Senate vote on the tax cuts bill) thwarted the intentions of some parties to produce more protests, and from one postponement to the next, reduced the level of motivation.
As Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate (MID) sees it, the attempts to link Trump’s declaration to religious (Islamic) elements concerned with the sanctity of Jerusalem (i.e. to claim that Trump had declared a religious war against Islam) have failed. The Trump declaration remains a fraught and serious political matter, but it is not a religious issue, and hence the relatively limited potential for producing violence.
However, intelligence sources believe that America’s ability to pass itself off as an honest broker between the Israelis and the Palestinians has become even more tenuous, and that absolute lack of trust prevails between the Palestinian Authority and the Trump administration.

SnyderTalk Comment:
Yahweh has Israel’s back. That doesn’t mean Israeli leaders should rest on their laurels. As you can see, they aren’t.
By the way, Iran infiltrated Hamas a long time ago. We can expect Iranian leaders to apply pressure on Israel through their Hamas and Hezbollah puppets as their own people apply pressure on them. They think they can win popular support if they engage Israel. We’ll see.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
