(Worthy Insights) – Yaron was also a strong follower of Jesus – well-known, well-respected, and well-loved throughout the Israeli Christian community – as well as a veteran of serving in the Israeli Defense Forces, a diplomat working for Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a passionate soccer player.

They were also planning to get married.

In fact, Yaron had already purchased the ring and the two were planning to fly back to Jerusalem next week to get engaged. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Yarón Lischinsky (30) and Sarah Lynn Milgrim (26), two staff members of the Israeli embassy in Washington, were murdered Thursday in a shooting attack outside the Jewish Museum in the US capital. The perpetrator, Elias Rodriguez, 31, from Chicago – a far-left activist previously involved in anti-Israeli protests across the US – left behind a manifesto declaring he carried out the attack “as part of the Palestinian struggle.”

Lischinsky grew up in Nuremberg, Germany as an Evangelical Christian before moving to Israel in his youth driven by Zionist ideals. Zineb Riboua, a Moroccan researcher based in the US who maintained a close friendship with Lischinsky, shared her grief on social media, writing: “Yarón Lischinskywas the finest friend I’ve ever had, brilliant, kind, and endlessly thoughtful. A devout Christian and a gifted linguist, he spoke German, Hebrew, and Japanese. He was full of curiosity and always brimming with ideas. I don’t think we ever had a conversation that didn’t leave me inspired to write something new. He loved America. He was excited about the future, about finally visiting Texas, and about the life he and his beloved fiancée were building together. I was supposed to meet her today. They are both gone. And the loss is immeasurable. The world has lost two extraordinary souls. And I have lost a dear friend who made every moment brighter.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – It’s good to see that CNN isn’t taking long to freak out over the prayer service Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had his pastor host, finding “a national security law expert” to call it a “clear violation” of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

The headline itself was actually quite neutral, at least by CNN standards: “Hegseth hosts first meeting of what he says will be a monthly Christian prayer service at Pentagon.”

“The service, which Hegseth told the audience would be a monthly event, was held in the Pentagon auditorium and broadcast live on the department’s internal TV network. Current and former defense officials told CNN it was highly unusual for the secretary to host a religious event during the workday for a particular religion,” CNN noted. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – GOP lawmakers introduced a provision in the”Big Beautiful Bill” that would cut Medicaid funds from going to the abortion industry, including Planned Parenthood.

The bill includes language that not only removes taxpayer funding from the abortion giant but also cuts funding “for organizations that participate in transgender medical interventions for minors.”

“This is an historic win for Pro-Life Americans and children in the womb, as Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion has been cut out of the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ and has been told to go fund themselves, Our 50-state grassroots network will now turn our attention to the U.S. Senate, asking them to put life-saving care over the interests of the abortion lobby,'” said Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins.

(Worthy Insights) – Al Jazeera has aired a rare and exclusive interview with masked fighters from Hamas’s military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, filmed inside the underground tunnel network beneath Gaza. Subtitled in English, the footage features the terrorists discussing their operations, tactics, and motivations amid the ongoing war with Israel. The journalist from the Qatari state-funded network was blindfolded and led into the tunnel, where he spoke with the fighters about their living conditions and joined them in a communal prayer.

(Worthy Insights) – A Christian summer camp in Colorado is suing over a gender policy it says could shut it down.

Camp IdRaHaJe in Bailey, Colorado, is asking a court to allow it to follow its sincerely held religious beliefs and separate campers by sex and not gender identity, The Denver Post reported.

The camp, which has been licensed in Colorado since 1995 and derives its name from the song “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” has operated for decades, dating back to 1948, and hosts thousands of children in its week-long program every summer. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran, multiple US officials familiar with the latest intelligence told CNN.

Such a strike would be a brazen break with President Donald Trump, US officials said. It could also risk tipping off a broader regional conflict in the Middle East — something the US has sought to avoid since the war in Gaza inflamed tensions beginning in 2023.

Officials caution it’s not clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision, and that in fact, there is deep disagreement within the US government about the likelihood that Israel will ultimately act. Whether and how Israel strikes will likely depend on what it thinks of the US negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – An incredible move of God is stirring in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Over the past two years, there has been what locals are calling the beginning of a revival, and they are looking to take it all the way to the capital of the state.

It began with different outreach ministries sharing the gospel throughout the city, student-led clubs in high schools holding Christian rallies during lunchtime, and city-wide prayer meetings that bridged church, racial, and generational barriers. It is now moving toward a citywide multi-day evangelistic crusade taking place June 6-8 at the county fairgrounds. The organizers are looking to then move on to a statewide crusade in Columbia, South Carolina, in the fall.

There are no “big names” or “big bands involved.” In fact, the main speaker for the crusade is Jacob Ebersole of World Harvest. He is a local evangelist who has done work primarily overseas but felt stirred in 2023 to shift his focus to his hometown. The worship music for the event will be led by a mass gospel choir of 200+ people from the area. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A research team has developed and safely delivered a personalized gene editing therapy to treat an infant with a life-threatening, incurable genetic disease. The infant, who was diagnosed with the rare condition carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency shortly after birth, has responded positively to the treatment. The process, from diagnosis to treatment, took only six months and marks the first time the technology has been successfully deployed to treat a human patient. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei branded U.S. President Donald Trump a liar and reiterated his description of Israel as a “cancerous tumor” on Saturday.

Trump was lying when he said that he wanted peace in the region during his Gulf tour this week, the autocratic ruler of the Islamic Republic charged.

On the contrary, Khamenei went on, the U.S. uses its power to give “10-ton bombs to the Zionist regime to drop on the heads of Gaza’s children.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Since arriving in the Persian Gulf this week, President Donald Trump has engaged in a flurry of regional diplomacy that in many cases has appeared to sideline Israel’s national security interests.

In an address to an investment forum in Riyadh on Tuesday, Trump called for an end to Israel’s “horrible” war against Hamas “as quickly as possible” and announced the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Syria’s Islamist-led government—after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly asked him not to do so. On Wednesday, Trump outlined a softened U.S. position in ongoing negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, making no mention of past demands, echoed by Israel, that the regime dismantle its facilities entirely. Trump then met with Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda terrorist whom Israeli officials have continued to refer to as a jihadist, and later praised al-Sharaa as a “young, attractive guy. Tough guy. Strong past. Very strong past. Fighter.”

Trump’s freewheeling Persian Gulf tour continues a string of recent moves that the president has made in the Middle East with little apparent regard for Israel’s wishes—and in some cases, in direct opposition to them. But both Israeli and U.S. officials have denied talk of a growing rift, and the two countries have remained directionally aligned against Iran’s “axis of resistance.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Senior Israeli officials confirmed Tuesday that Israel has conveyed messages to the Trump administration opposing the potential sale of F-35 stealth fighter jets to Turkey, citing concerns over a possible erosion of Israel’s qualitative military edge in the region.

The Israeli concerns come amid growing frustration over President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s increasingly hostile rhetoric toward Israel. In recent months, Erdogan has escalated his verbal attacks, most recently declaring, “May Allah destroy Zionist Israel,” and labeling the country a “terror state.”

During a joint press conference last month at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his fondness for Erdogan, saying, “I love him and he loves me. I told the prime minister: Bibi, if you have a problem with Turkey, I’ll help you solve it.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
