United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff has drafted a new proposal for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The deal includes a 60-day pause in fighting.

After failed ceasefire negotiations, Israel restarted its ground invasion of Gaza on May 18. This time, Israel has said it will not stop until Hamas is defeated once and for all.

Visiting New York City’s memorial to the 9/11 terror attacks is a haunting experience. Two dark squares on the footprints of the former Twin Towers have gentle waterfalls flowing into what looks like an endless abyss.

United States President Donald Trump confirmed rumors on May 11 that he was about to acquire a new plane to serve as Air Force One.

Today is Victory in Europe Day—80 years since Nazi Germany officially surrendered to the Allies. I encourage you to listen to Richard Palmer’s inspiring Trumpet World from yesterday, where he chronicles not only the miracles that led to that victory but the credit the Western world unabashedly gave to God for it. How times have changed. The world has grown more secular, ignoring God rather than humbly seeking His favor.

United States President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the U.S. had reached an agreement with Yemen’s Houthi terror group.

The Vatican announced Pope Francis died today at 7:35 a.m. He was 88 years old. Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.
