Netanyahu has recently said that he plans to have the new coalition formed by or before Israel’s Independence Day, April 23. This time he is planning on creating a purely right wing government including the ultra-orthodox parties. This could possibly mean that all of the progress in the past two years to reform areas held by the ultra-orthodox could now be reversed. This includes the new mandate for ultra-orthodox to serve in the military. Please pray for the very important process of coalition building as the cabinet leaders are appointed and the parties wrestle over power in the new government. We ask God for a peaceful transition and that He would place in authority the right leaders. May His will be done no matter what the outcome.
