‘WE HAVE TIES WITH A DOZEN ARAB COUNTRIES’

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon says that Israel enjoys warm relations with many Arab countries despite the fact that these countries officially refuse to recognize Israel's existence. "We are talking about a dozen Islamic countries, including the Arab countries that understand the potential of relations with Israel. The State of Israel is not the regional problem, it is the regional solution, so we are strengthening this cooperation." Danon also said that USA Ambassador Nikki Haley has dramatically "changed the atmosphere" at the UN. "Saudi Arabia has been rumored to be particularly close with Israel due to the two countries common fear of Iran. The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported last week that the Saudi government is weighing the possible normalization of relations with Israel ahead of a planned Middle East peace program by the Trump administration which aims to not only secure a final status agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, but lead to recognition of the Jewish state by the larger Arab world. (Arutz-7) Intercede that Israel’s relationships with Arab countries will continue to improve and that they will recognize the Jewish state. Pray for unity in their stand against the most dangerous entities in the Middle East which include Iran, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups supported by the Islamic Republic. Pray that Israeli politicians, leaders and the general public would seek the Lord first in all of their endeavors to be protected from their enemies.
