In today’s edition, we tackle the absurd, the outrageous, and the long-overdue.

Jewish students are under attack on campus, and finally, some in Washington are taking action. The Antisemitism Awareness Act is back, aiming to hold universities accountable for allowing Jew-hatred to thrive in their halls. Meanwhile, Hamas continues its terror theater, forcing hostages to stage their own deaths, while Amazon stays silent on one of its own employees being held captive in Gaza. And in classic Trump fashion, the former president issued a clear warning: If Hamas doesn’t release the hostages by Saturday, all bets are off.

There’s a lot at stake, and Christian Women for Israel is standing strong—praying, advocating, and calling for action. Join us. Read on and take a stand!

In today’s edition, we’re calling out the silence. Alexander "Sasha" Trupanov has been held hostage by Hamas for 491 days—starved, tortured, and now reportedly “too weak to be released.” But where is Amazon, his employer? Even Russia has demanded his release, yet Amazon has said nothing. Silence is complicity. It’s time to take action and demand that Amazon stand for Sasha.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking. If Hamas does not release all hostages by Saturday, the ceasefire is over. President Trump has warned, “All hell is going to break out,” and Israel is ready to finish the job. As we watch the horrific scenes of Hamas parading frail, emaciated hostages before cheering mobs, we know this evil must end.

Christian Women for Israel is standing in prayer, advocacy, and action—because this is the moment for Modern-Day Esthers to rise. Will you stand with us?

Held Hostage: The Fight for Alexander "Sasha" Trupanov's Release

The world was horrified to learn that Hamas continues to hold Alexander "Sasha" Trupanov in captivity, claiming he is “not in good enough condition to be released.” After 491 days of brutal captivity, starvation, and abuse, the 29-year-old remains in Gaza, while those recently freed show severe signs of malnutrition and internal health complications. With 76 hostages still believed to be alive in Hamas’s grip, their conditions may be even worse.

Amazon’s Silence—Where is Their Voice?

Sasha, an Amazon employee, has yet to receive public support from his own company. While even Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded his release, Amazon—a global corporate powerhouse—has remained disturbingly quiet. It raises the question: Why isn’t Amazon using its influence to push for one of its own?

In today’s edition, President Trump issues a firm ultimatum to Hamas: release all hostages by February 15 or face serious consequences. Meanwhile, Israel welcomed home three more hostages after 491 days in captivity—though their release was marred by Hamas’s cruel parade of suffering before a jeering crowd. The terror group continues its psychological warfare, turning hostage returns into twisted propaganda spectacles. As the battle for truth and justice rages on, Christian Women for Israel remains steadfast in prayer, advocacy, and action. Join us in standing for Israel, demanding the release of every last hostage, and bringing hope to those in need.

 ‘Hell’ to break out if Hamas fails to release all hostages on Feb. 15, warns Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed on Monday that “all hell is going to break out” if Hamas did not release the remaining hostages by Saturday.

“As far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock—I think it’s an appropriate time—I would say, cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out,” Trump told to reporters at the White House as he was signing a new round of executive orders, according to pool reports.

“I’d say they ought to be returned by 12 o’clock on Saturday,” the president said. “And if they’re not returned—all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two–by Saturday at 12 o’clock. And after that, I would...

Before their release, Hamas paraded the hostages in front of a raucous crowd of Palestinians in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah.

Three Israelis were freed on Saturday after 491 days in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of hostages redeemed in the ongoing first phase of the ceasefire agreement to 21.

Or Levy, 34, Eli Sharabi, 52, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, were handed over by the Red Cross officials to Israel Defense Forces troops at around 11:15 a.m. local time and driven back to Israeli territory some 30 minutes later.

The IDF brought the freed hostages to a facility near the border for a preliminary physical and psychological examination, and to meet with their families.

As if the tortures that began on October 7, 2023, were not enough, Hamas has been staging more versions of traumatizing evil. In the “ceasefire agreement,” the terror group is producing, directing, and filming hostage releases in a chaotic rampage of hate from thousands of Gazan “extras” seemingly overjoyed to be part of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad propaganda.

For 16 months now, the Jewish nation and people have undergone repeated traumas—including the brutal Hamas invasion and massacre on October 7, family members and loved ones taken hostage into Gaza, and the existential multifront war with Iran and its evil terror proxies. And if that were not enough, Jew hatred and hostility against the world’s only Jewish nation have been at an all-time high across the globe with toxic expressions everywhere—on public streets, college campuses, and social media newsfeeds.

What Trump, the Super Bowl, and the Bible Teach Us About Transformation

Shalom, Modern-Day Esthers,

Tonight, millions will tune in for Super Bowl LIX, watching two powerhouse teams—the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles—battle it out for the ultimate title. The debate over the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) will rage on. Is it legendary Tom Brady, or will Patrick Mahomes, the young phenom rise up with a three-peat this year?

But what if we’re asking that same question about global leadership?

This week, President Donald Trump stunned the world by proposing that America “take over” Gaza and transform it from a terrorist breeding ground into “the Riviera of the Middle East.” A bold claim, to say the least. If he actually pulls this off—turning Gaza from Hamas-controlled terror to a peaceful, thriving vacation destination—it would be the biggest geo-political transformation in modern history.

The reactions have...
