As part of his day 1 actions, President Trump reversed sanctions on Israelis and boldly stated his support for God’s nation in the Middle East.

From The Washington Free Beacon. President Donald Trump returned to the White House on Monday with a flurry of executive orders and statements in support of Israel.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

Trump reversed the Biden administration’s sanctions on Israelis, suspended new aid for the Palestinians, and took measures against international bodies hostile to Israel. The president also spoke of confronting Iran and normalizing Israeli-Saudi relations—and vowed to bring home the remaining hostages abducted in Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. …

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu led a chorus of Middle Eastern leaders in congratulating Trump on his inauguration.

“I believe that working together again we will raise the U.S.-Israel alliance to even greater heights,” Netanyahu said in a video message on Monday. “I’m confident that we will complete the defeat of Iran’s terror axis and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for our region.”

“On behalf of the people of Israel, I also want to thank you for your efforts in helping free Israeli hostages,” Netanyahu added, referring to Trump’s decisive role in a hostage-ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that went into effect on Sunday. “I look forward to working with you to return the remaining hostages, to destroy Hamas’s military capabilities and end its political rule in Gaza, and to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel.”

In Monday’s most explicitly pro-Israel executive order, Trump rescinded sanctions that former president Joe Biden had imposed over the past year on 33 Israeli individuals and organizations involved in right-wing causes. …

Right-wing Israeli politicians and activists hailed Trump’s reversal of the sanctions as a restoration of justice and Israeli sovereignty. …

Trump also ordered a pause to U.S. foreign development assistance for 90 days. The directive was expected to impact aid to the Palestinians, which Biden restored after Trump cut it during his first term. Since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, Israel has withheld funds from the Palestinian Authority and cut ties with UNRWA, the agency for Palestinian refugees, noting the organizations’ roles in terrorism.

In two additional executive orders, Trump withdrew the United States from the U.N. World Health Organization and renewed sanctions on the International Criminal Court.

Trump said U.S. membership in and funding of the WHO would end following a 12-month notice period. He cited the agency’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other international health crises, as well as the agency’s politicization and disproportionate reliance on U.S. funding. …

During Trump’s post-inauguration rally at an arena in downtown Washington, D.C., his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, pledged to expand the Abraham Accords, a series of pacts normalizing Israel’s relations with Arab states. Witkoff then brought relatives of Israeli hostages on stage to shake hands with the president and First Lady Melania Trump. …

While some Israeli hawks have voiced concern that Trump seeks to permanently end Israel’s war to destroy Hamas, the president suggested on Monday that he would defer to the Jewish state. …

Thank You, YHVH, for these pro-Israel policies that President Trump has embraced and is working to implement. I ask that there be even more effective cooperation between Trump and Netanyahu to accomplish Your will and purposes in the middle east. We look forward with excitement to what You will do! Bless these men with heavenly wisdom and discernment, and turn their hearts to obedience to Your direction and instruction.

THANK YOU, LORD, FOR DONALD J. TRUMP
Give us all the wisdom from above, which is PEACEFUL,
WILLING TO YIELD TO REASON but, FIRST OF ALL: PURE!
James 3:17 Amplified (which I am trying to memorize).
Trump said that he is for peace. James advises that there is a harvest
of righteousness (conformity to God’s will in thought and action)
which is the fruit of the seed sown in peace by those who work for
and pursue peace in themselves and in others, with the goal of harmony
between individuals. I am still memorizing it all, but I have enough of it
to help me tremendously because that is the power of the Word of God at
work in us. Hebrews 4:12, 13 and 2 Timothy 3:16 reveal this to us.
Trumps’s desire for peace and his respect for Israel make God want to help him.
Combined with not being cursed for cursing Israel, this makes these two men very
effective and acceptable in the eyes of the Lord. Our job is to pray for them.
And, since God is the true end and scope of life, we really should approve of
His ways and seek to please Him.
Lord, help us to pray in faith, believing and trusting our Creator,
seeking to glorify His name above all names.
In Jesus Name, Amen.

Lord, from the book of Genesis and your selection of Abraham as a man of faith, it is clear that those who oppose Israel will not prosper. Thank you that Mr.Trump supports Israel, so our nation will receive divine favor. We pray that you will give both Trump and Netanyahu your wisdom.and understanding to free all hostages safely and bring an end to the conflict in Gaza. Amen
