https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Knesset-committee-discusses-high-olim-suicide-rate-514826Here’s something that is becoming a big topic as it continues to increase.

Suicide rates among the olim (those that move to Israel to live). Suicides among the lone solider, Jewish youth who come to service in the IDF. To be honest, if I didn’t have a relationship with my Father and Husband, the Elohim, and know that I am supposed to be here I would not stay. It is hard in ways that cannot be described. Without them it would wear on my soul and body and drive me into the earth. Nothing here from a practical standpoint is easy. Only if you have a lot of money do things become easier by the convenience of having more choices. I’m so happy that I have them to sustain me and to carry me through. And I am grateful for the prayers of you all that I have felt so many times.Updated Jun 10, 2018, 12:11 AM

http://nationalinterest.org/feature/why-israel-still-cant-afford-destroy-hamas-26170The strategic, military and civilian standing of Hamas continues to decline. While it can still enforce its control over Gaza, it has become more isolated in the Arab world. It has been reduced to having to rely on Iran for military support, on Qatar and Turkey for civilian aid and on Egypt for access and transit to and from Gaza. This is made more difficult as Egypt is highly suspicious of Hamas, Turkish influence has been tempered, and Qatar is embroiled in its own intra-Gulf struggle. Indeed, the rest of the Sunni Arab world disapproves of Hamas and the support of Iran and Hezbollah for it, putting Hama’s regional standing is at an all-time low. (Becca: the reason they do not support Gaza is because they are Edomites and not the sons of Ishmael, though technically Essau married into the tribes of Ishmael when he took his wives from there.) Furthermore, Hamas’ international standing is also taking a beating under the guidance of Jason Greenblatt, President Trump’s special representative for international negotiations.Updated Jun 8, 2018, 1:36 PM
