The Islamic State group vowed Monday to shift its focus from the remnants of its “caliphate” toward making Israel the main target of its attacks. It also called to sabotage a peace plan US President Donald Trump is due to unveil, according to a purported audio message from its spokesman.
Abu Hamza al-Quraishi said IS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi encourages the group’s fighters to launch “a new phase” and vowed major operations against Israel.
“The eyes of the soldiers of the caliphate, wherever they are, are still on Jerusalem,” the spokesman said in the 37-minute message.
The IS spokesman made a direct reference to the “Trump plan,” which has already been rejected by the Palestinians.

Many have wondered why ISIS refused to attack Israel or its supporters in the past 8 years. Stockpiles of Israeli weapons found in ISIS compounds, plus Israel's own testimony of helping Islamic radical groups left little wonder to the mystery. ISIS' goal was to defeat Shiites in Iraq, Syria, and Iran, but they also slaughtered Christians by the thousands. Trump's ridiculous 'Peace Plan' may finally end the amicable relationship between ISIS and Israel.
Chickens coming home to roost? Will the US military be called upon to defeat ISIS, and protect Israel from their former ally? All sorts of predictable outcomes may ensue.
