(OPINION) ETH – A Rabbi from Israel is claiming that the timing of these hurricanes threatening the Gulf of Mexico is not a coincidence as it is transpiring at the same time that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is traveling around the Middle East and Africa in an effort to arrange a multi-national Middle East peace conference to be held in the next few weeks in one of the Arab Gulf states.

The Rabbi is warning that the storm threat is “Divine Retribution” for the US forcing Israel to abandon its sovereignty. The storms come in the wake of the announcement that the Trump administration brokered an agreement to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab emirates.

Under this “peace agreement”, Israel and the UAE have agreed to full diplomatic ties including exchanging ambassadors, starting direct flights, and trading openly, However many details of the agreement have not yet been revealed, it is believed that the agreement with the UAE would require Israel to delay or cancel plans to declare sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

Pompeo has stated in the past that extending Israeli sovereignty was a decision “for Israelis to make.” BIN stated the following:  “The double storm that is lashing at the US right now is reminiscent of Hurricane Katrina, the most devastating storm in US history, that hit the same region in 2005 on precisely the same fateful day; August 25.

Though it was a category 3 hurricane and not particularly powerful, warm waters quickly ramped Katrina up to a terrifying category 5 hurricane just as it hit. Katrina’s impact was intensified even more by its unusual double-eyewall.

It is especially rare for a double-eyewall to remain intact after making landfall but Katrina did, with the outer eyewall adding an additional category 2 storm on top of the category 5 hurricane presented by the inner-eyewall.”

They went on to say that it is interesting to note that Katrina struck the Gulf just two weeks after Israel was pressured by the US into destroying the Jewish communities in Gush Katif, thus creating Gaza, now a Hamas stronghold and base of operations.
