PA takes case to U.N.
Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2012 8:57 pm
Tomorrow actually marks a significant day in Bible prophecy. This is actually a step to further stamp out Israel from existence as prophesied in the Bible. Now it seems that the nations will be ganging up on her through the U.N.. If it succeeds, the PA will be able to take her to court for defending herself. Not good... Thankfully the United States and the United Kingdom oppose the effort.
Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the failure of this vote..

After its failed bid to win United Nations recognition as an independent state, the Palestinian Authority is seeking non-member observer state status, one step up from its current status as a permanent observer.
Palestinian Authority leaders have been working with dozens of supporting nations to put together the wording of a formal draft of a resolution. Among those on board are Norway, Spain, Denmark, Iceland, France and Switzerland.
The United States and the United Kingdom oppose the effort, arguing that the only real solution to the conflict will come when Palestinians and Israelis return to the bargaining table.
"I have said many times that the path to a two-state solution that fulfills the aspirations of the Palestinian people is through Jerusalem and Ramallah, and not New York," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told reporters Wednesday afternoon.
Germany said it will abstain from the vote.
The renewed effort comes a year after a more ambitious full statehood bid died because it would not get a majority of votes on the Security Council.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told supporters in Ramallah in the West Bank that the resolution, which many observers call symbolic, "is the first step to achieve all our national Palestinian rights."
If approved, the new status would place the Palestinians in the same category as the Vatican.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev called the move "political theater."
