Prayer Points for Israel

Palestinians Hurl Rocks at Car:  Yet another rock attack happened this week in the Judea & Samaria region of Israel.  The car, which was full of women and small children, came under attack just outside and Israeli settlement.  Thankfully, no one was injured, but the windshield was shattered and the women were able to escape and find help.  Please pray for these incidents to cease immediately, as they are very dangerous attacks and can kill.  Please also pray that those responsible will be brought to justice.  Lastly, please continue to pray for Israel’s true peace – Yeshua – to reign in the hearts of both Jew and Arab alike. 

UN Special Investigator Falk Retires:  UN Special Investigator Richard Falk gave a scathing report against Israel in his final act as investigator for the UN.  He called for Israel to be held “accountable” for its “crimes” against the Palestinians, as well as its colonial aspirations for “Palestine” and its apartheid system.  He recommended that Israel be condemned for such, and is working hard to see the boycott and divestment campaign against Israel gain momentum.  Please pray for Israel during this difficult time, especially as the chaos surrounding Israel increases.  Israel is under intense pressure and the criticism is mounting against her.  We are in great need of our Defender to stand for us.  Lastly, please pray that those who seek to slander and lie about Israel would be silenced and proven wrong in the truth.

US to Demand Partial Building Freeze:  Reports indicate that the US will demand a partial settlement freeze once Kerry presents his framework for extending current peace talks beyond the April 29th deadline.  This would, in all likelihood, be to appease the Palestinians who have been furious over the lack of such a freeze since the July 2013 talks began.  Please continue to pray for these current talks, that the Lord’s wisdom would guide them and keep Israel from making a deal that would effectively threaten its very survival.  The pressure is intense and is only growing, especially with the looming threat of an international boycott of Israeli industry. 

Thank you for praying!
