The Latest on the United States and Israel

The United States is close to beginning a renewed push to bring about a peace agreement between the Israeli's and Palestinians. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has stated that U.S. policy regarding a peace plan will be revealed in the coming weeks. http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=216379 This is an issue that should be covered in prayer by Christians here in America. God has said He will bless those nations who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel. Throughout our nation's history we have blessed Israel, and we have been blessed because of it. Let's pray this continues. I have to admit, I'm worried this will be the case. There was a report today from CBN News that President Obama has told European leaders to be hard on Israel because he politically is in a place where he can't right now. That is not the attitude of an administration that is looking to "bless" Israel or look out for her best interests. Along these lines we should be praying for next month's meeting scheduled between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Obama. Netanyahu will be coming to Washington D.C. to meet with the president and to address a joint session of congress. At that time he will speak on the peace process and the threat Iran poses to Israel. http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=216692
