Today the DEBKA File<\/a> reported that America has sent three top officials to the Middle East to calm tensions in the wake of Israel’s homeland missile defense exercise entitled Turning-Point 4.<\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

“Sunday, May 23, OC Northern Command, Brig. Gady Eisenkott said: “No party concerned has an interest in another showdown, but the IDF could be ready to fight within hours.” He added that [if confronted] “Israel<\/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> could take on both the Syrian-Lebanese front and Gaza<\/ST1:CITY><\/ST1:PLACE>.” He was talking to the local council heads in Galilee, northern Israel<\/ST1:PLACE><\/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This five-day exercise will test Israel’s responses to simultaneous missile and rocket attacks against civilian locations from Lebanon<\/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>, Syria<\/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>, Iran<\/ST1:PLACE><\/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> and the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

“Syria has placed its air force and air defense forces on high alert, while Hizballah has transferred thousands of its militiamen to South Lebanon<\/ST1:PLACE> and placed the border region on a war footing against a supposed Israeli attack.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For whatever reason, summer seems to be a tense time in the Middle East.  Unfortunately, as America has abandoned its traditional relationship with Israel and not stood strong against Iran, we have paved the way for an attack on Israel.   There is no reason for Iran to fear retalliation from America if it attacks Israel.  Because our President has not supported Israel, we have put Israel in danger.  I expect to see some sort of eruption this summer–whether it be an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities or an attack on Israel by Syria through Lebanon.  Either way, I do not expect a peaceful summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
