Obama, according to this report out of Haaretz.com from Israel, intends to give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu four to six weeks to provide an "updated position" regarding construction in West Bank settlements and the two-state principle.
Apparently, Obama made a surprise appearance on Tuesday at a meeting Defense Minister Ehud Barak was holding in Washington, shortly before Obama was set to leave on a five-day trip to the Middle East.
Essentially, what Obama is doing here is orchestrating a dilemma for PM Netanyahu and his government, knowing full well that even if Netanyahu complied with Obama's demand, Netanyahu's government coalition would be in serious danger of falling apart. Is Obama trying to divide and conquer and oust PM Netanyahu from the outside because he is an obstacle to Obama's support for the Saudi two-state arab 'peace' plan? I think so. Moreover, to further the dilemma for PM Netanyahu, what Obama is asking PM Netanyahu to do is to assist in Israel's suicide. Of course Mr. Netanyahu won't comply, and my guess is that Mr. Netanyahu will tell Obama to take a hike. May the Lord's will be done and may the Lord give Mr. Netanyahu wisdom and guidance in all his decision making.
The God of Israel, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, is bigger than any problem Obama will create for PM Netanyahu and Israel and it will be very interesting to see how God will turn around Obama's and Israel's arab enemy's evil schemes so their schemes will boomerang back onto themselves.
Very noteworthy is the fact that Obama is choosing a time frame for Israel to make a peace-suicide pact by some time in July. This is a very significant time frame in Jewish history because July is the month of Av, known as a month of mourning and destruction for the Jewish people; the time when the Jewish Temple was twice destroyed. By every measure the Jewish month of Av is tragically unique, one in which the worst disasters in Jewish history took place. According to the Jewish Talmud, the Messiah will be born on the 9th of Av. This is the day in which both Temples were destroyed, the Spanish expulsion of the Jews took place, and World War One, the "parent" of World War Two, broke out. What this tells us is that the same covenant that promises suffering, promises redemption. They are two sides of one coin; labor and birth. More at Aish.com
This is a time to definitely be in prayer for PM Netanyahu and the people of Israel.
