CIA director heads to Qatar amid "near collapse" of hostage deal

[Almost Heaven]

CIA Director William Burns is en route to Doha for a pivotal meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Thani amid uncertainty in negotiations to find a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas.

According to reports from the Associated Press, an unnamed official familiar with the developments revealed that the talks are "near collapse."

The ceasefire is crucial to prevent any Israeli military intervention in Rafah, a strategically significant area where the final Hamas battalions are concentrated.

Despite relentless diplomatic efforts, Hamas has remained resolute in its stance, rejecting what U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken termed "extremely generous" offers.

So, stop trying to restrain Israel. Let them go into Rafah and rid it of Hamas once and for all. It's the only solution that will bring a semblance of peace to that region and greater security to Israel.

When is the last time that one of Israel's enemies negotiated honestly and fairly with her? It's past time to stop pretending that any of Israel's enemies will.

I read on X this morning that negotiations are off after Hamas killed several IDF soldiers over the weekend.

I hope so. But what a shame it had to come to the death young men and women. Hamas is a bunch of murderers and there's nothing that can be done to deal with them. They are hateful, without mercy, without any redeeming quality in their behavior. Oh Lord God, is there any hope for them? Are there some among them who can be saved? You who can do all things, I pray that for Your glory You bring them out into the truth and the light.

Yes, it's like we are getting a real time experience of why the Amalekites had to be done away with.

Praying with you for those turning to Jesus
