The countdown to war with Lebanon has begun. With failed negotiations and increasing threats from Hezbollah, Israel believes military action is inevitable. A major conflict could start within hours or days and will be far worse than what Israel just faced in Gaza.

Join us for our first MidEast Update, broadcasting live from our new CONNECT Studios in Galilee, Israel. We're testing our new systems as Amir will deliver updates on the ongoing conflict in Israel and significant global events.

On this first episode of "The Anchor Podcast," Amir Tsarfati sits down with Pastor Steve Berger and his wife, Sarah, amid the turmoil of war in Israel. The longtime friends discuss their ongoing support for the Jewish state, even visiting grieving families who have lost loved ones in battle. They also open up about their behind-the-scenes ministry, encouraging political leaders in Washington, D.C., through Bible study. Most importantly, they debate the importance of standing with Israel for both Jews and non-Jews alike, offering a message of hope when propaganda and deception seem rampant.

Israel is engaged in a military operation in Gaza to defeat Hamas terrorists while minimizing harm to civilians. Hamas is holding hostages and using them as human shields and has rejected Israel's offer to disarm. Israeli police special units rescued hostages from a densely populated area with armed militants, highlighting their bravery. Hamas plans to repeat a massacre and supports the release of its members in exchange for Israeli hostages.
