Faced with a horrific wave of terrorism, Israelis are turning to the government with questions. Tensions are rising as Israelis question Prime Minister Naftali Bennet’s affiliations with Islamic parties and movements.
From Israel Today. The terror attack in Bnei Brak that claimed the lives of five people has brought back images that the average Israeli remembers from around 25 years ago in the days of the Oslo Accords. It is seldom that Israelis encounter terrorism in central Israel, and when it does it literally strikes closer to home in more than one way.
Unsurprisingly, this has created a very lively political conversation. From the right-wing side of the political map criticism is tied to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s fragile coalition, blaming him for not only forming a government relying on left-leaning parties, but going so far as to aligning with the Islamic party Ra’am, with its nationalistic and pro-Muslim ideology and questionable-at-best history when it comes to acknowledging Israel as a Jewish state. Bennett is accused of being ‘soft’ on Islamic terrorism because of his dependency on Ra’am’s vote.
Bezazel Smotrich, the leader of Religious Zionism, a far-right opposition party, was quick to link the terrorist shooting to Bennett’s government: “Unfortunately we have a government with terrorist and anti-Zionist elements… You can call it ISIS, Hamas… but we have a war between two people groups: one is wanting to return to its homeland and form a country while seeking peace, and the other people group has been trying to deny us of that right for over a hundred years….”
All discourse on this matter leads back to the Bennett-Abbas alignment. Since the new government was formed less than a year ago, much attention has been given to Mansour Abbas, as this is the first time in Israel’s history that an Arab party joined a coalition government. Abbas is also the Deputy Chairman of the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement. That is not a small matter, given the fact that the Norther Branch of the Islamic Movement was outlawed in Israel.
So, Abbas’ thoughts, especially after a terror attack, require scrutiny. He has been consistent in offering condemnation of the terror attacks, and did so this time as well:
“Today a despicable crime of terror happened In Bnei Barak against innocent civilians. I empathize with the grief of the families and wish full recovery to those who are wounded. We all face this wave of murderous terrorism… the cities of Israel are filled with Arab and Jewish civilians, and whoever goes on a killing spree does not distinguish one blood from another….”

Last year on the YouTube channel- One for Israel.. they had at least two messages -there,that were saying that people were turning to Jesus for salvation.. and there was a huge groundswell of turn out.. if it is okay to say it that way- and people were seeking out New Testaments- and the narrator of the video was saying how unusual this was.. and how Supernatural as well-,to paraphrase.. so I wonder if that is still happening.. it is hard to tell.
I have not seen that message lately ..on-, One for Israel-.. however YouTube is very controlling- about content.. so it’s hard to tell.
Also, Pastor Jack Hibbs friend, Amir Tsarfati- is an Israeli pastor-,and has a storied history.. that culminates in a full resume of various leadership type positions- and has also been in the military there-,and is very knowledgeable about Israel, although he tends to be very depressing in his presentation.. Just to let you know if anyone is interested. He is on Telegram.
Lord I pray that you would intervene in Israel’s government and all of the seeming subterfuge- and tragic events.. that are occurring there, as you are the only one by the power of your holy spirit- that can sort things out. I pray Lord that your presence would be so prevalent there,.. Lord- that people would fall to their knees in tears- and receive your Spirit in their life- and in their minds, hearts, and souls… Lord only you can sort out how complicated these situations of intrigue are-, as Humanity implodes on itself.. as it has turned away from you- and turned to evil.. and is now reaping what it has sown..so in turning to You, Lord..we ask for your mercy and protection for the israeli people, Lord..that they would seek your Son, Yeshua and have a hunger for your word that Israel could be saved.
In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen
What a critical time is this for Israel.
How could I begin to know how to pray for our saviors homeland ? Only to stand firm against th enemies of darkness who seek destruction fr this land. We do stand in the gap, Father . This is YOUR land, may YOUR people se th truth of YOUR son Jesus Christ
Father, since President Biden took office he has represented a weak America on the global stage. His foreign affairs are distablabliizing many nations. Help Biden stop dropping the ball. The strong global leadership of America as been a sacred trust. I ask you Lord to remember our forfather’s prayers on behalf of our nation. That America may falter in this hour, but you will restore our global leadership and stability to the world for the sake of your name and for Isreal. We pray your shalom for the nations of the world. In King Jesus name.
Father, I lift up Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. Give him wisdom as he leads the government. Draw him to yourself. May he not align himself with the enemies of Israel. May many Israelis turn to you in salvation through these tense days.
