WND Exclusive Leading Islamic voice calls for reconquering Jerusalem Erdogan: 'Ask Allah to restore the al-Aksa'

By  Leo Hohmann

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on his countrymen to refocus on the Ottoman goal of re-conquering Jerusalem for Islam and uniting Shia and Sunni tribes for that same mission.

In a speech that got almost no coverage in the Western media, Erdogan talked about invading and reconquering Jerusalem, according to an article in the Anadolu Agency of Turkey.

“We Muslims lost our way toward Jerusalem,” he told throngs of adoring Turks while in the state of Erzincan in central Turkey. “The water of our eyes froze making us blind, and our hearts that was destined to beat for Jerusalem is now instead conditioned for rivalry being in a state of war with each other.”
Erdogan was in the city to promote numerous service projects, but the speech focused on Jerusalem.
“When you mention the worse ascension, the first thing that comes to mind is Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque,” he said, referring to the mosque that sits on the Temple Mount.
The Mount is controlled by Arab Muslim Waqf officials, who do not allow Jews to pray accept at the Western Wall. But apparently Erdogan is not satisfied with this arrangement. He told his countrymen to “ask Allah to restore the Al-Aqsa Mosque to the infallibility of the Muslims.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US Secretary of State John Kerry to hold off from visiting Israel earlier this year because the Israeli leader was busy trying to form a coalition, Channel 2 reported on Sunday.

Shortly after the March 17 elections, Kerry requested to convene with Netanyahu on regional affairs, including peace negotiations with the Palestinians that have been stalled since 2014.

But Netanyahu indicated to Kerry that the timing was not right and he preferred to delay the meeting until after he had hammered out a new coalition, a task he has yet to complete.

There was no immediate confirmation from American officials.

But speaking to Channel 10 in an interview aired Sunday night, Kerry said he hoped to visit Israel in the coming weeks, and indicated that he had planned to come earlier. “I look forward to traveling there and visiting,” he said. “It was going to happen sooner; it may happen now in the next weeks when they get a government.”

Day of the Antichrist – June 6, 2016

In the Bible, the prophet Daniel warns us that the Antichrist will be revealed to the world in the middle of the final seven years of human history.  Many would describe this as “42 months into the seven year tribulation,” when they expect the Antichrist to break his covenant with the Jews, enter a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem, and proclaim himself to be God.  Before this date, the Antichrist is just a popular and powerful politician – his behavior is still restrained and he has not claimed to be God or shown his true nature as the Antichrist.  But one day, 42 months into the seven years, his restraint is removed and the entire world will know him for what he truly is.

Obama slammed for staying mum on Israel sanctions 'The fact that your administration has failed to denounce or clarify is deeply troubling'

 

A member of Congress from North Carolina has put together a letter – signed by dozens of his colleagues – asking President Obama whether he is trying to impose sanctions against America’s longtime and staunch ally Israel.

“Recent reports suggest that your administration has held classified meetings over the past several weeks to discuss the possibility of imposing sanctions against Israel for its decision to construct homes in East Jerusalem. We urge you and your administration to clarify these reports immediately,” said the letter assembled by Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C.
“I’m appalled that the administration would even consider the idea of sanctioning Israel – one of our closest allies. We need clarification from the White House on this immediately,” Meadows said.
“What message does it send to the world for the U.S. to impose sanctions against Israel while easing sanctions on Iran – a state-sponsor of terror with an abysmal human rights record?” Meadows added.
There have been a number of recent reports on the question.

Qatar funding ISIS attack against U.S.

'Ally' providing new weapons for jihadist army's counter-surge

TEL AVIV — Qatar is financing a planned ISIS counter-attack against Western allies in Iraq and Syria, according to an Egyptian government intelligence document obtained by WND.

The document claims Qatar provided ISIS with new weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles, for use in a surge against Western-allied forces in the coming weeks.
Qatar is a member of President Obama’s coalition fighting ISIS.
The  U.S.-led coalition is also planning a surge against ISIS in the coming weeks.
However, informed Middle Eastern security officials say the strategy is partly dependent on cooperation from Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
The officials told WND last week that both countries have asked the U.S. for an understanding that the strikes will also target the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in exchange for the Turkish and Saudi cooperation.
The Obama administration seems unlikely to acquiesce to any requests to target Assad’s forces as part of the fight against ISIS.

Obama tentacles on dissolution of Netanyahu's gov't?

Source says U.S. officials met with senior Israeli politician

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

TEL AVIV – Do the Obama administration’s tentacles extend to the crisis that led to the dissolution Tuesday of Israel’s parliament and the scheduling of early elections that could replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?

Representatives of the Obama administration held meetings with a senior politician here in which the U.S. officials brought up the possibility of replacing Netanyahu as prime minister, according to an informed Jerusalem diplomatic source.
Following months of internal bickering, Netanyahu fired centrist and leftist members of his coalition Tuesday and set March 17 as the date for new national elections.
The decision came after dismissed finance minister Yair Lapid and dismissed justice minister Tzipi Livni repeatedly accused Netanyahu of distancing himself from the U.S. and bringing relations with Israel’s most important ally to a crisis point.
Lapid and Livni took issue with Netanyahu’s decisions to expand Jewish communities in eastern Jerusalem, which they said helped to bring the relationship with the Obama administration to the brink.
In October, Israel’s Ynet news website reported a request by Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon to meet with Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice during his visit to Washington had been denied by the White House.
The reported move is highly unusual and was seen as a snub of Netanyahu’s government. It helped to set off a firestorm against Netanyahu in Israel, with Livni and Lapid leading the charge.
Also in October, the U.S. used uncharacteristically harsh language to oppose a plan for Israel to build 2,610 new homes on empty lots in Givat Hamatos, a Jerusalem neighborhood in the eastern section of the city where Palestinians want to build a future state.
