The following article is written by Tania Koenig, an intercessor who is intimately familiar with Israel and its relationship with the U.S.

Just weeks after his last visit to Washington, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is once again en route to the White Houseā€”this time at the direct invitation of former President Donald Trump. The hastily arranged meeting, set for Monday, April 7, raises urgent questionsā€”not only about trade, but about deepening regional instability and the evolving diplomatic triangle between Israel, the United States, Iran, and Russia.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

The official reason is economic: the Trump administrationā€™s newly imposed 17% tariff on Israeli goods has triggered alarm in Jerusalem. With Israeli exports now at risk in a vital market, Netanyahu is pushing for immediate relief. But trade isnā€™t the whole story.

The invitation came during a Thursday call while Netanyahu was in Budapest. Trump reportedly made the offer casually, yet pointedly: ā€œMaybe even next week.ā€ The message was clearā€”this meeting needed to happen now.

So whatā€™s behind the sudden urgency?

Behind the scenes, the U.S. is quietly exploring direct negotiations with Iranā€”outside of the JCPOA framework and possibly with Russian involvement. Iran has signaled a willingness to engage ā€œon equal footing,ā€ while continuing to advance its nuclear program. Russia has offered itself as a stabilizing intermediaryā€”one that Israel does not trust.

If Israel isnā€™t in the room, it risks being the topic, not the partner. That may be Netanyahuā€™s real reason for returning to Washington. Heā€™s not just objecting to tariffsā€”heā€™s trying to get ahead of a potential grand bargain that could marginalize Israel and reshape the region without its voice.

This moment carries weightā€”politically, strategically, and spiritually.

If peace is negotiated at the expense of truth, it becomes an illusion. And illusions, when believed by world powers, can become dangerous.

As Netanyahu prepares to meet Trump, the Church must stay awake. The alignments are shifting. What is saidā€”or unsaidā€”behind closed doors may determine whether the region leans toward stability or steps into fire.

Watch. Pray. Discern. The hour is significant.

Why are you referring to President Donald J. Trump as “former” President Donald J. Trump? That is not okay, and especially on this website.

” Teach me Your way, O LORD, I will walk in Your truth, unite my heart to fear Your Name….But You, O LORD, are a GOD full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.” Psalm 86 Praying Father GOD that You will lead PM Netanyahu & President Trump into Your truth, guidance and wisdom. May You unite their hearts to humbly fear and honor You LORD. May they be aware of Your will in the decisions they agree upon. In Your Holy, Merciful, Gracious, Victorious Name LORD JESUS I pray.
