“I know I’ve posted several times about this, but I feel this is very significant and will keep re-posting until everyone get’s it!”

While several Israeli leaders have been willing to divide Jerusalem in the past, a vast majority of Israelis reject the idea, and insist the city must remain united under Israeli sovereignty. For both Israelis and Palestinians, the issue has become a red line and a major stumbling block to the world’s efforts to solve the Middle East conflict. Bible-believers will recognize this stumbling block as being foretold:

“In that day I will make Jerusalem a stumbling block for all people; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth gather against it.” Zechariah 12:3

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was keen to point out that Abbas’ rhetoric has become increasingly hostile since the UN vote. Rather than provide a push toward final status peace talks, the stunt at the UN General Assembly is actually making peace less likely.

Netanyahu released a statement noting that the direction Abbas is taking following the UN vote is further evidence that the conflict is not about birthing a Palestinian state alongside Israel, but rather birthing a Palestinian state on Israel’s ashes.

“This is not a dispute over land but a denial of the existence of the State of Israel,” said Netanyahu. “They are raising the younger generation to hate. They are educating for the destruction of Israel. I do not see any discourse for peace here; there is no discourse that paves the way for coexistence.”
