As P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Washington leadership, Palestinian Authority sources have told reporters that “this time, Obama will intervene forcefully and directly, and apply pressure to Netanyahu and PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas, so that they agree to a framework agreement.” According to these sources, the framework agreement will determine that the capital of the Palestinian state will be eastern Jerusalem, and in exchange, there will be Palestinian concessions in other matters, including borders and refugees. The Palestinians, for their part, strenuously rejected the offer to recognize Israel as the Jewish state. The Palestinian sources added that “if Obama succeeds in convincing Netanyahu and Abbas to agree to concessions on the framework agreement, he will announce a date for signing the agreement in Washington, with himself taking part [and credit] personally.” (Israel National News)

Mr. Netanyahu said that the people of Israel expect him to stand strong against pressures on the Jewish state.

PLEASE - pray that he does.
