US-Israel ties: Why Obama wants more from Netanyahu

What Obama wants

The Israeli leader is expected to be pressed by the Obama administration to extend a temporary moratorium on building new housing in the Jewish settlements, say analysts.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who visited the White House last month, will be prodded to drop his reluctance to engage in the face-to-face negotiations that Netanyahu keeps asking for…

What Abbas wants

Palestinian President Abbas…told the Israeli daily newspapers that he’s open to stationing international peacekeepers in the West Bank to help satisfy Israel’s security concerns, but rejects an Israeli military presence. http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2010/0706/US-Israel-ties-Why-Obama-wants-more-from-Netanyahu

Obama to hold key talks with Netanyahu in Washington…

Last week Mr Netanyahu said he believed that a main part of his talks in Washington would be “focused on how to start direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians right away”…

Meanwhile, a group of European foreign ministers said they would visit Gaza at Israel’s invitation to monitor the implementation of Israel’s plan to ease the blockade.

Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said the ministers from Britain, France, Italy and Spain would go this month. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/middle_east/10518109.stm

As the above shows, the Palestinians seem willing to accept international troops in the Middle East. And the Europeans seem willing to consider providing them. The final King of the North will lead a European power.

Regular readers of this page are aware that a “peace deal” is prophesied in Daniel 9:27 that will precede the Great Tribulation as this is written about often (see, for example, Great Tribulation Cannot Start Before 2014).

As prophecy watchers are aware, Jesus warned:

20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. (Luke 21:20)

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. (Matthew 24:15-17)

All indications are that whatever “peace deal” is accomplished, troops will come to the Middle East. And while the initial troops will not fulfill Jesus’ words in Luke 21:20, when certain events that Daniel wrote about happen (for details see Who is the King of the North?), the Great Tribulation will begin shortly thereafter. World events continue to align to fulfill Bible prophecy.
