Palestinian MP Calls for “Non-Violent Intifada” Over Prisoners: Palestinian Member of Parliament Mustafa Barghouti called for a “non-violent” intifada over the continued detainment of Palestinian prisoners, some of whom are on a hunger strike. In addition, there have been clashes throughout the West Bank and at the Temple Mount. Please pray for this violence to cease and for the protection of all innocent civilians, both Arabs and Jews. Please also pray that wisdom would be given to the IDF and police who are responding to rioters. Lastly, please pray that God’s truth would speak to the hearts of the rioters and they would repent and seek His peace.

IAEA Claims Iran May be Advancing New Ways Towards a Nuclear Bomb: The International Atomic Energy Agency has reported that Iran may be completing a research reactor, which could give them another method of attaining a nuclear weapon.

Please pray for God’s divine protection over Israel and other enemies of Iran. Please also pray for the purposes of the enemy to be turned into something that God will use for His glory. Lastly, please pray that Israel will see that it is God who protects and trust in Him rather than only in their own military might. For more, see Iran Coming Closer to Nuclear Power

Please intercede for these Islamists, that they would turn from their idolatry in repentance and accept the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Lastly, please pray for God to be close to all victims of such violence and their families. For more, see Nigerian Cell Arrested
