‘FINISH HAMAS’: Trump’s Stark Message to Netanyahu

Signs of the Times

The baptism ceremony was a subdued celebration.

On Saturday, March 8, eight young Burkinabe Christians were baptized. “These baptisms are different than most I have attended as they are quite solemn,” said a front-line worker. “Once these individuals are baptized, they are targeted and are likely to be beaten or even killed for their faith in Jesus Christ.”

As they were being baptized, the Christians sang “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.”

Following Christ in Burkina Faso comes with great risk. According to church leaders in the country, 292 Christians have been killed and more than 131,000 have been displaced by Islamist attacks since January 2024. “These are current numbers,” said another front-line worker. “We need to increase prayer support for our Burkinabe brothers and sisters — for their protection, for provision and for their persecutors to come to faith in Christ.”

The baptism ceremony for the young Christians took place in a village in the southwestern part of the country where Muslim terrorists from neighboring Mali sometimes attack and kill followers of Christ. There is “no turning back” for these believers.

When Christians are displaced or martyred by Islamist attacks, such as in Burkina Faso, you can help support them and their families. Your gifts to Persecution Response help provide shelter, food, medical care and fulfill other immediate and ongoing needs for our brothers and sisters who have suffered persecution. Let them know they are not forgotten.

Trump May Remove Entire Gaza Population;

The Trump administration is drafting plans for the post-war administration of the Gaza Strip, which would include either paying for the mass voluntary migration of the area’s two million residents to third-party countries or their relocation into designated refugee zones within the coastal enclave, according to a report published Sunday.

The Washington Post cited a 38-page prospectus in its report, revealing details of the White House’s plans for rebuilding Gaza after the current war with Israel ends.

In February 2025, during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit, President Donald Trump announced plans to promote the voluntary mass migration of Gaza’s entire population of roughly two million people, with the United States taking control of the Gaza Strip.

While the administration has provided few details on the president’s plan, which he claimed would see the wartorn area turned into a Middle Eastern “Riviera,” US officials are now mulling competing proposals for implementing Trump’s vision of rehabilitating Gaza into an American economic zone — one that would serve as a hub for a larger east-west economic corridor linking the US and India.
