Dear Friends,
News
comes this week of a plan for peace with Israel promoted by Saudi Arabia. his
is described as a hush hush document which includes a road map to end Middle
East conflict. The Saudi's are preparing to make peace with Israel if American
pressure can be put on their arch-enemy Iran. News
of this initiative was leaked to a Lebanese newspaper last week and a further
leak suggested that Israel and Saudi Arabia were prepared to exchange
intelligence to use against Iran. This was confirmed by Israel's Army Chief Lt
General Gadi Eisenkov.
He stated that under Trump there was an opportunity to
form a new international alliance in the Middle East. He went on to say that a
plan was needed to stop the Iranian threat. This
rush of news comes as reports come in that Donald Trump and his advisors are
currently drafting an Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. Mr Netanyahu is said to
be 'stunned' that the Saudis are backing it. Further news from Washington
suggested that the plan might be finalised in framework form early in 2018. Are
we headed for the confirmation of a peace plan as indicated in Daniel 9:27, if
so the Lords return would seem very near.
Bradford
- A
Labour councillor has resigned because of anti-Semitism in the party. Naveeda
Ikrom resigned following the shortlisting of Nasreen Khan for her seat, despite
Ms Khan notifying the party of Khan's anti-Semite online activities. Nasreen
khan made it to a shortlist of two for a safe seat on Bradford Council. Either
this was an horrendous error of judgement or they didn't know and are
appallingly incompetent it was said.
Zimbabwe - The tiny Jewish
community in the country have been advised to stay indoors following the
military coup. Israel's ambassador in South Africa is in constant communication
with them. All appears to be safe. There are currently 170 Jews and Israelis in
the country, 108 living in Harare, 64 live in Bulawayo and despite their
numbers manage to form a minyah on Friday nights.
Prince
Charles
- was criticised this week when it emerged he once blamed "the influx of
foreign Jews" for causing unrest in the Middle East. He also urged America
to "take on the Jewish lobby". Charles
wrote to the explorer Laurens Van der Post after returning from a visit to
Saudi Arabia with Princess Diana. On his way home he wrote "I now
appreciate that Arabs and Jews were all Semitic people and it is the influx of
foreign and European Jews (especially Poland they say) who have caused great
problems".
Earthquake - The recent Iran/Iraq
earthquake which killed 400 people was felt throughout central Israel. Israel
has offered aid to the victims to show its commitment to friendship with the
people of these two countries, despite activities of their governments. The
quake was also felt on Israel's Mediterranean coast.
Immigration - Jewish immigration
from Russia to Israel increased in 2017 and more than doubled from Turkey. Head
of the Jewish Agency Natan Shoransky said policies limiting personal freedom in
Russia under Mr Putin contributed to the increase. Isaiah 43:5-6.
Euro
Officials
- Seven European officials seeking to visit Palestine prisoners have been
barred from Israel because of their efforts to promote boycotts of Israel.
Chile - A Presidential
Candidate has called Israel "a threat to world peace" and to the
survival of the Arab people, particularly the Palestinians. He will, if
elected, review relations with Israel he said.
Priti
Patel
- has fallen victim to the political assassins in the Arabist Foreign Office.
These Anti-Semites along with a Senior
Minister have been trying for some time to deal with the 'Priti
problem'. Priti Patel sough to change the culture of her department and tackled
the problem of foreign aid being used to pay pensions to the families of
so-called martyrs. She fought against years of bias against Israel.
Her
desire to aid Syrian refugees being treated in an Israeli field hospital on the
Golan Heights and thus visiting the area, described as occupied territory by
our wretched Government led to her downfall. No doubt she was naive but she was
almost certainly 'set up'. The Foreign Office knew of her visit but later lied
about their knowledge! It seems that we cannot funnel aid to Syrian refugees
through Israel but can pass aid to support terrorism to the Palestinians.
Thank
God there are some like Ms Patel who are willing to take on the liberal,
metropolitan elite. One source said "Priti weighs up what is right, what
is wrong and then takes a decision". We could do with more like her. God
will bless her for seeking to bless Israel. Genesis 12:3.
Balfour
Declaration
- The declaration can be summed up by a headline in the Jewish Chronicle,
"Balfour gave hope not just to Jews but to mankind"! Since 1917
Israel has won wars in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973 and has achieved acclaim for
its expertise in many fields. You have only to look at the high number of Nobel
Prize winners in most fields to see that they are greatly gifted and blessed by
God.
They
have made the desert blossom, filled the face of the earth with fruit, returned
and are returning from North, South, East and West. Isaiah 27:6. 35:1 &
43:5-6.
God
has and will bless them and it is our privilege
to support them, speak out for them and not least to ask the Lord to
reveal Himself to them that "All Israel will be saved", one day they
will. Zech 8:23.
May
God bless you and may He bless Israel, He Will!
David
