Telephone service between the United Arab Emirates and Israel began operating Sunday as the two countries opened diplomatic ties. In the past, the Israeli country code of 972 could not even be connected from the UAE. In the wake of the peace deal between Israel and the UAE, this is just one benefit that will be implemented as a result. There is still much opposition to the deal, especially from Palestinian Arabs who see it as a betrayal by their Arab brethren. Please continue to pray for wisdom for Israel’s leaders and leaders of other Arab countries who are considering peace deals with Israel. Please also pray for protection from terror attacks for Israel, as tensions are increasing between Israelis and Palestinians.
