The Assad regime's collapse was the direct result of blows Israel inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah, the prime minister said.

Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, visiting the Syrian border on Sunday, hailed the collapse of the Assad regime, “a central link in Iran’s axis of evil,” describing it as a “historic day in the history of the Middle East.”

Netanyahu said the fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who fled the country after a coalition of rebel groups stormed Damascus on Sunday, was the direct result of blows Israel inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah, “the main supporters of the Assad regime.”

 U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed to reporters on Saturday that Assad had been largely abandoned by his key allies.

A rebel spokesman declared, in a statement carried on state television: “Damascus has been liberated, and the tyrant Bashar Assad has been overthrown,” adding that “prisoners in regime prisons have been released.”

Netanyahu said the regime’s c...

"O Come, All Ye Faithful"

The hymn O Come, All Ye Faithful has inspired believers for centuries, calling us to approach the manger with awe and worship. Each line is a powerful reminder of the truths of our faith, filled with adoration, hope, and the promise of salvation. Let’s journey through this timeless carol line by line, reflecting on its deep meaning and the scripture that underpins its message.

1. "O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant"
This opening line is an invitation to all believers to come before Christ with hearts full of joy and triumph. The faithfulness mentioned here reminds us of the shepherds and wise men who came to adore Jesus.

Scripture: “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” (Luke 2:15)

Reflection: How can we approach Christ with joy, even in challenging times? What does triumph in faith look like in your life today?

2. "O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem"
This line reminds us of the physical j...

Your Gift Matched—Bring Hope to Two Families This Christmas!

In Bethlehem, the birthplace of our Savior, Christians are holding fast to their faith despite dwindling numbers, economic instability, and daily hardships.

These families live in the shadow of the Church of the Nativity, clinging to the light of Christ.

This Christmas, your generosity can go even further. A generous donor has pledged to match every gift, meaning your $50 donation will help provide food baskets for two struggling families instead of one.

Each box is a tangible reminder of God’s provision and the solidarity of the global Christian community. "These baskets remind us that God provides through His people. We may live in hardship, but our hope is in the Lord."

Will you help us bring hope to 225 Christian Families in Bethlehem this Christmas?

Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, carries a profound legacy of hope and promise. Over 2,000 years ago, wise men traveled to this small town, following a star, bringing gifts, and bowing in adoration before the newborn King. Yet today, Bethlehem tells a different story—one of resilience in the face of hardship. Once a thriving Christian community, it has seen its population dwindle, with Christians making up only 10% of the city’s residents, down from 86% in 1950. Economic instability, political tension, and conflict have left many struggling to stay.

And yet, Bethlehem’s story is not one of despair. It is one of perseverance and faith. Manger Square may be quiet this Christmas, but the call of O Come, All Ye Faithful still echoes: “Come and adore Him.” This is not just an invitation to celebrate; it is a reminder to reflect on how we, like the wise men, can bring gifts of hope to a world in need.

With just weeks until President-elect Donald Trump takes office, his incoming Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is already making diplomatic moves to address the Gaza crisis. In a series of high-stakes meetings, Witkoff visited Qatar and Israel, signaling a renewed push for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal before Trump’s January 20 inauguration.

Witkoff, a real estate investor and Trump campaign donor, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in late November. His mission: to lay the groundwork for a ceasefire that could stabilize Gaza and secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.

Renewed Mediation Efforts in Qatar

Qatar, which had suspended its role as a mediator last month, appears to be reengaging in talks. Witkoff’s discussions with Sheikh Mohammed underscored the urgency of the situation. "Both agreed a Gaza ceasefire is needed before Trump's inauguration," a source close to the talks told...
