Senior US Leaders Visit Israel—The past two months, a number of prominent US leaders have visited Israel, including Vice President Joe Biden and Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, John Kerry. The purpose of the visits: making sure Israel is on the same page as the US in regards to Iran. Please pray that Prime Minister Netanyahu will be able to withstand US pressure if it is not in line with the will of God, that God will guide Israel's governmental and military leaders in wisdom and discernment regarding the steps Israel needs to take regarding Iran.
Controversial Dutch Leader Visits UK—Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician who has boldly taken on Islam, screened his film "Fitna" in the British House of Lords. The film claims that the Koran encourages terrorism, homophobia, and repression of women. Wilders is one of few European political leaders who supports Israel brave enough to confront the Islamitization of Europe. Please pray more leaders in Europe have the courage to speak boldly against the ascent of Islam in Europe and voice their support for Israel. Pray for blessing and protection for those who risk ridicule for supporting Israel and their lives for criticizing Islam. For more see: " Dutch anti-Islam politician creates stir in UK"
Special US Envoy to Confront Anti-Semitism—Obama administration set to challenge UN Human Rights Committee on its double standards toward Israel. Special envoy Hannah Rosenthal said, "Israel is being held to a different standard and it has crossed the line from anti-Israel policy to profound anti-Semitism." Please pray that the US would be able to successfully take the UN to task on its double standards concerning Israel and that many will have their eyes opened to the reality of anti-Semitism in our day.

Israeli Teen Pushed to His Death—After inhaling AC gas on their school roof, a boy apparently pushed his friend off the roof, killing him. Meanwhile, a number of youths were indicted on charges of aggravated and gang rape. Please pray for Israel's youth, that the Lord will reveal Himself to the growing numbers of disaffected, disillusioned youth growing up in this country.
