JERUSALEM-"Israel appears headed to a record third straight election as a midnight deadline approaches on Wednesday with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his chief rival, Benny Gantz, edging back from the brinkmanship that has kept the country's future on hold for nearly a year.
Barring an 11th-hour surprise, Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Gantx, a former army chief who leads the centrist Blue and White party, will try again for a more decisive outcome in another parliamentary election on March 2. Votes in April and September ended in a deadlock".
There was no last minute agreement, so....Netanyahu will remain prime minister until the next election. He will do so as a defendant in three criminal cases against him. He was indicted on November 21st of bribery, corruptions and trading favors. Was this a stay? Only time will tell.
Back home, President Trump is facing some serious issues of his own. Democrats in Congress are closing in on a scheduled vote on articles of impeachment of the President due to high crimes and misdemeanors, abuse of power and obstructing Congress. To say the heads of the two governments are facing the fire, is an understatement.
Beyond their shared political style, the two leaders have forged a tight alliance. Trump has sided with Israel on key issues related to the conflict with the Palestinians, and Netanyahu has boasted of his close ties to the American President, saying they have brought about unprecedented gains for Israel.
So just what could be working against these two leaders in a bigger form? How about four little letters. E..V...I...L If you don't think there is a war being waged against them, then think again. Just yesterday, church leaders and pastors laid hands on President Trump in the Oval Office. They know what's at stake. It's not just our country, but the world at large.
The importance of spiritual intervention can't be understated |
In the end, there will be only one winner in this all. If you given a blind eye to what's going on in the world, look again. Which side are you on? The fence railing is not a good resting place for what lies ahead.
YGG,
John
