Israel is preparing for unrest if among Palestinians if there is not a resumption of peace talks, or the U.N. does not unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. I am of the opinion that there will be some sort of unrest in September.
I do not believe there will be any kind of agreement to resume peace talks before September. Normally the U.S. would be the driving force behind the resumption of such talks, but as of now the government is spending so much time resolving the debt crisis they have had little time to concern themselves with anything else. All this could change after August 2, but that seems like too compressed of a time to get anything done.
Also, if the Palestinians do go through with their intent to petition for statehood, I believe the U.S. would veto this move. Because of this, I think it is likely there will be some outbreak of violence in Israel in the September to October time frame.
As Christians, we need to be praying for the peace of Jerusalem in all of this and for the wisdom for our leaders to stand beside Israel.
