After delays, Benjamin Netanyahu was again installed as Israel’s Prime Minister:<\/p>\n

May 17, 2020<\/p>\n

JERUSALEM (AP) \u2014 After three deadlocked and divisive elections, a year and a half of political paralysis and another three-day delay because of political infighting in his Likud party, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finally swore in his new government on Sunday. …<\/p>\n

A mini-insurgency by angry senior Likud members forced Netanyahu to seek a delay in the swearing-in ceremony last Thursday. …<\/p>\n

In his speech to parliament, Netanyahu acknowledged that compromises had to be made but that another election would have been far more devastating.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public wants a unity government and this is what the public is getting today,\u201d he said. \u201cWe chose to serve the country together.\u201d …<\/p>\n

Netanyahu also pledged to push forth with controversial plans to annex parts of the West Bank.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s nationalist base is eager to push for annexation before the U.S. elections in November \u2014 after which Trump could be replaced by Joe Biden, who has said he opposes unilateral annexation. The coalition agreement allows him to present a proposal as soon as July 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time has come for anyone who believes in the justness of our rights in the land of Israel to join a government led by me to bring about a historic process together,\u201d he said. https:\/\/apnews.com\/152cc0b16c9a6c4dcbdeae3501b5be7a<\/a><\/p>\n

May 17, 2020<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said … “It’s time to apply the Israeli law and write another glorious chapter in the history of Zionism,” Netanyahu told the Knesset said on the issue of Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n

“These territories are where the Jewish nation was born and grew,” he said of the settlements.<\/p>\n

For his part, Gantz, a former military chief, made no mention of any possible annexation moves in his ensuing speech.<\/p>\n

The two former rivals agreed to a three-year coalition government last month, after more than 500 days of political deadlock and three inconclusive elections in less than a year.\u00a0Under the power-sharing agreement, Netanyahu will serve 18 months as prime minister and then hand over to Gantz.<\/p>\n

The agenda of the new government includes a possible declaration of sovereignty over Jewish settlements and the Jordan Valley in the West Bank – a de facto annexation.<\/p>\n

Such a move will likely cause international uproar and inflame tensions in the West Bank. https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2020\/05\/netanyahu-israeli-gov-annex-illegal-settlements-200517102343363.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As far as international uproar goes, the Palestinians and Europeans oppose the annexations. Furthermore, notice the following related to Jordan’s King Abdullah:<\/p>\n

\n

Jordan Hints they\u2019ll Wage War with Israel if Judea-Samaria Annexed<\/h2>\n

May 17, 2020<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s King Abdullah warned of \u201cmassive conflict\u201d between his country and Israel if the Jewish state proceeds with annexing territory this summer in Judea and Samaria.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the German newspaper Der Spiegel, the Jordanian monarch reiterated that a two-state solution was the \u201conly way forward\u201d as a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would happen if the Palestinian National Authority collapsed? There would be more chaos and extremism in the region. If Israel really annexed the West Bank in July, it would lead to a massive conflict with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,\u201d said Abdullah. …<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to make threats and create an atmosphere of loggerheads, but we are considering all options. We agree with many countries in Europe and the international community that the law of strength should not apply in the Middle East,\u201d said the king.<\/p>\n

The comments by the Jordanian leader come as several European nations are pushing for punitive action against Israel if the country forges ahead with annexation. E.U. foreign-policy leaders are set to discuss the issue at a virtual meeting on Friday.<\/p>\n

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a quick visit to Israel this week to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz. Pompeo urged progress on U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s Middle East peace plan.<\/p>\n

Under the plan\u2019s proposal, Israel could push ahead with annexation some 30 percent of territory in Judea and Samaria, which includes Israeli settlements and the Jordan Valley, as part of efforts to resume talks with the Palestinians. https:\/\/www.breakingisraelnews.com\/150423\/jordan-hints-theyll-wage-war-with-israel-if-judea-samaria-annexed\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Palestinian Authority President Abbas threatened to disband the PNA if Israel went through with the annexations (see BI: Abbas Threatens to Dissolve PA If Israel Annexes an Inch of Judea and Samaria<\/a>). Some have claimed annexation could start a third intifada (rising up violent conflict) in the region (https:\/\/www.israeltoday.co.il\/read\/analysis-why-hasnt-a-third-intifada-broken-out\/).<\/p>\n

He, and many in Europe, do not believe that Donald Trump’s “Vision for Peace” (which he has referred to as “The deal of the century”) is acceptable.<\/p>\n

Israel is also concerned that, annexation aside, that the economic factors may trigger violence:<\/p>\n

\n

Israeli security officials fear an outbreak of a new \u201cviolent\u201d Intifada in the occupied West Bank due to an economic crisis that would undermine the Palestinian Authority<\/a> (PA).<\/p>\n

Despite the limited spread of the coronavirus in the occupied West Bank, it has had a tangible negative impact on the economy that might be deemed an incentive for an uprising if Israel implements the annexation plan, Israeli security officials fear.<\/p>\n

The expected Intifada could undermine the PA and the sovereignty of Mahmoud Abbas<\/a> in the occupied territories. https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20200516-israel-fears-new-violent-intifada-in-west-bank-due-to-economic-crisis\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition, because of COVID-19, Israel sealed borders and that certainly has resulted in less tourist dollars coming into Palestinian controlled territories.<\/p>\n

An Intifada may well cause leaders in Israel and Palestine to look for peace as peace deals tend to come after military conflict.<\/p>\n

And, as regular readers of this COGwriter Church of God News page are aware, Bible prophecy does tell of a temporary peace deal coming to the region in the Book of Daniel:<\/p>\n

26 And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate (Daniel 9:26-27).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The biblically-prophesied \u201cprince\u201d to confirm it will be a European leader<\/a> who is later called the King of the North<\/a> in Daniel 11:40. The \u2018one week\u2019 has generally been understood by prophecy watchers to mean a seven year deal, that is broken in the middle of it (after 3 1\/2 years). This break is also confirmed in the following scripture:<\/p>\n

31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. (Daniel 11:31)
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The \u201chim\u201d above is the European King of the North<\/a>. He may move to Jerusalem to claim to enforce peace, but according to Jesus, that should serve as a warning that it is time to flee:<\/p>\n

\n

20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. (Luke 21:20-21)<\/p>\n

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. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:15-22)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice also that the armies surrounding Jerusalem and the abomination standing in the holy place will be signals that it is time to flee. But, sadly, most Christians will not accept that sign, probably because of lukewarmness and claims that it is being done for peaceful reasons–plus they hold many prophetic misunderstandings that, unless they change them, will prevent them from seeing what is happening (see Do You Hold to Any of These Laodicean Prophetic Errors?<\/a>). For more on fleeing, check out the article: There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Near Petra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Annexation will NOT go as well as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu hopes. Ultimately, the Bible shows that Israel will lose territories to the Palestinians (see Gaza and the Palestinians in Bible Prophecy<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Trump’s Deal of the Century and Daniel 9 27?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On January 28, 2020, the Trump Administration revealed its Mideast peace plan, which Donald Trump has referred to as the ‘deal of the century.’ Could it have prophetic ramifications? Could it be the ‘peace deal’ of Daniel <\/span>9:26-27? While many Israeli politicians (such as Benjamin Netanyahu, Benny Gatz, Rafael Minnes) like the deal, various Jewish religious leaders (including the Temple Institute) have raised objections. What have Protestants and the World Council of Churches said about it? Will Jerusalem be divided? Is the USA at risk of troubles (Mark 13:8) and disasters related to this deal? While the architect of the deal, Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner thought he had significant Arab support for the plan, the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation rejected it. So, too, has Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as well as Hamas. Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan claimed that he received economic and other threats from the United States for his public objection of the plan. Could Turkey take actions against the USA? What does Psalm 83 reveal? Is it possible that that the Trump ‘vision for peace’ could be the deal of Daniel <\/span>9:27? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to our video: Trump’s Deal of the Century and Daniel 9 27?<\/a><\/p>\n

As far as annexation goes, it will be another factor to drive the Palestinians further away from the USA, while driving them closer to the Europeans.<\/p>\n
