Iran war update: April 28
- President Donald Trump is reportedly “unhappy with the latest Iranian proposal” for a peace treaty, Reuters reported yesterday. White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said the president has “been clear about our red lines.” The two sides appear deadlocked.
- Qatar is reportedly ending its support of Hamas. Sources speaking with the Free Press claimed, “Doha will no longer play the role of host and negotiator, and most of Hamas’s leadership has already departed the country.” This is apparently because of Hamas’s tepid response to Iran bombing Qatar in the war. Both Qatar and Iran were major sponsors for Hamas; this could push Hamas even closer to Iran.
- Hezbollah refuses to disarm, it announced yesterday. Israel has demanded Hezbollah’s disarmament as a precondition to withdrawing from Lebanon. Though there is technically a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, neither appears ready or willing to draw back.
- Israel lent the United Arab Emirates an Iron Dome unit, Axios reported Sunday. This was apparently to help protect the U.A.E. while it suffered the worst barrage of any country in Iran’s crosshairs. Axios’s sources said: “The countries have been coordinating closely militarily and politically since the war began.” The U.A.E. is quickly becoming Israel’s most important regional ally. Gerald Flurry said five years ago this will backfire for Israel.
