In this week’s 5 minute update, we focused on three things:
1) The current status of the Israel / PLO peace process
2) The international effort to pressure Israel to lift the blockade of the Gaza
3) The United Nations voted to put new sanctions upon Iran
The USA desires that there be an international probe into the Gaza incident. The USA halted a project to prevent arms from being smuggled into the Gaza through the Philadelphi route which divides the Gaza from the Sinai peninsula. The head of the Arab League will make his first visit to the Gaza. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan is also considering visiting the Gaza to break the blockade. Iran and Hamas are seeking a global anti-Israel bloc in support of ending the Gaza blockade. Abba met with Abbas this week in Washington and pledged $400 million dollars in aid to the Gaza stating that the situation in the Gaza is “unsustainable” and predicted “real progress” in the coming months to establish a PLO state. Regarding a future PLO state, Obama stated that Israel must ensure equal rights for Israeli Arabs who live in Israel. Kadima leader, Tzipi Livni criticized the Israeli government over the Gaza incident saying that Israel can do more to save itself from global isolation.
Meanwhile, Mahmood Abbas stated that he is not interested in direct talks with Israel as long as their is no progress in indirect talks. Iran has pledged to send ships to support the ending of the Gaza blockade and anticipating a possible war, Israel has asked the USA to increase the supply of weapons to them.
An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state is a tribulation event.

A US war with Iran is a tribulation event.
From a Biblical prophetic perspective, the reason why the God of Israel would allow these events to happen is because it will result in the end of the exile of the house of Jacob and the reunification of the 12 tribes of Israel (Ephraim and Judah).
We will to be “watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem” and we will not rest until the God of Israel makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth (Isaiah 62).
Shalom in Yeshua the Messiah,
