I Prayed have prayed
Father, we ask You to bless Prime Minister Netanyahu and the IDF as they seek to stamp out Hamas and free the hostages. We pray for victory for Israel!
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel does intend to take full control of the Gaza Strip but does not want to rule the territory long-term.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

“Well, we don’t want to keep it,” Netanyahu said in an interview Thursday with Fox News’ Bill Hemmer. “We want to have a security perimeter, but we don’t want to govern it, … we want to hand it over to Arab forces that will govern it properly, without threatening us and giving Gazans a good life,” the Israeli leader said.

It will not be possible for Israel to be kept safe, or for the people of Gaza to have a better life, unless Hamas is no longer able to rule, according to Netanyahu.

“They have to go,” Netanyahu said of Hamas, adding, “I think President [Donald] Trump has said it, you know, you have to see two things in Gaza: You have to see Hamas eliminated, and you have to have the hostages released.”

There are still 50 hostages being held in Gaza, 20 of whom are thought to be still alive 22 months to the day after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel that left some 1,200 dead.

Netanyahu told Hemmer that Israel is doing everything it can to “salvage” the hostages and says he thinks they can be saved, but indicated “military pressure” will be the only way to free them.

The prime minister said Israel is well on its way to achieving its goals of freeing all the hostages, defeating Hamas, and ensuring Gaza never poses a threat to Israel again.

Netanyahu made the comments shortly before the start of a meeting with his security Cabinet to discuss plans to expand Israel’s operation in Gaza to achieve the aim of taking full control of the Gaza Strip.

Google pays $300 on a regular basis. My latest salary check was $8600 for working 10 hours a week on the internet. My younger sibling has been averaging $19k for the last few months, and he constantly works approximately 24 hours. I’m not sure how simple it was once I checked it out.

This is my main concern………. https://bigpro223.blogspot.com/

Lord, we are overwhelmed with the magnitude and duration of suffering caused by Hamas heinous crimes against innocent Jews in their homeland of Israel. Please, Lord end the suffering of the Jewish hostages, the Palestine citizens and Jewish people all over the world being persecuted by Hamas sympathizers and nations who ignore your we ill. Since Hamas refuses to value life of Jews or Muslims, why do you allow Hamas to exist? And please Lord don’t let Israel be forced into accepting the reformation of a terrorist stronghold near Israel’s border.

Father, guide and protect Israel as they carry out this plan. May they have success and be able to rescue the hostages. May the hostages look to you as Messiah and come to you as Lord and Savior and their helper while they are in danger. When they are rescued, heal their bodies and their minds. I praise you for your guidance and care.

I pray Benjamin Netanyahu will trust God and not be concerned about what the world does. God will fight his battles. God said in His word that the Holy land of Israel belongs to HIM. HE is a jealous God. Gaza was and is an important part of Israel. Learn from the past. Do NOT give it away again!!!
