(ZeroHedge)—President Trump in remarks to reporters Monday predicted that the war in Gaza will come to a “conclusive ending” within the next two to three weeks.
He said in the Oval Office that “I think within the next two to three weeks, you’re going to have a pretty good, conclusive – a conclusive ending.” But the entirely difficult question of how this might come about was not addressed.
But Trump also seemed to hedge his bet, chalking up the Gaza crisis to rampant and long-running instability in the region: “It’s a hard thing to say because they’ve been fighting for thousands of years. But I think we’re doing a very good job,” he claimed.
He again reiterated, “But people can’t forget October 7” – identifying the initial Hamas attack as the cause of the ongoing war since 2023. On the question of admin efforts to achieve a peace settlement, Trump described that “There has been… a very serious diplomatic push.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio then chimed in during the Oval presser, saying, “We want it to end” – but “it has to end with no Hamas.”
So clearly the White House is at this moment still fully backing a military solution, after earlier this month essentially giving a greenlight for the new Israeli military assault on Gaza City.
It appears that Trump is predicting it will take two to three weeks to completely conquer and pacify Gaza, but he downplayed or ignored the brutality of it, and daily soaring death toll:
“Right now, they’re talking about Gaza City. They’re always talking about something,” and added, “At some point, it’s going to get settled… You better get it settled soon.”
He did say he’s “not happy” when he hears news of civilians, journalists, and medical workers being killed.
Trump also seems to be signaling Netanyahu to wrap up these high death toll miliary operations ‘soon’ – but while not threatening anything serious like cutting off the US arms pipeline or billions of dollars sent to Tel Aviv.

One eyewitness to Monday’s deadly attacks which killed at least 5 journalists among 20 total people slain at Nasser hospital described seeing “bodies everywhere“:
Saber al-Asmar, a doctor in the Intensive Care Unit at Nasser hospital who witnessed the attack this morning, says staff members were continuing to help wounded Palestinians with the few supplies they have when the air strikes shook the facility.
“Patients were freaked out, and everything looked dark…we called the civil defence [teams] to go to the place that was targeted and then another big airstrike happened,” al-Asmar told Al Jazeera.
“We still can’t comprehend what happened now or next. The situation is horrible. We have seen bodies everywhere…they [Israeli forces] targeted the floor where the operating rooms are,” he added.
Meanwhile, the US Ambassador to Israel…
Monday’s events could see European nations impose harsher, punishing measures on Israel. Some governments are actually talking sanctions on Israel for the first time – but most European capitals remain deeply divided on the matter of what’s next, other than purely symbolic actions like acknowledging a ‘state of Palestine’.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
