Noting the wording it seems to be speaking of dividing Jerusalem so that Jerusalem will serve as a capital for Israel and for Palestine.

Looks like two different conversations. Yesterday they said Palestinians may get it all. Last week they said it would be divided.

"Abu Mazen (Abbas) heard from Obama and his administration in a very categorical way that a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is in the American national and security interest," Hamad said.

Also in Cairo today, Abbas met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, where the Palestinian leader briefed Egypt's president on his recent trip to Washington, saying the U.S. was committed to bringing about an end to Israeli construction in the West Bank.

Last week, the State Department refuted a speech in which Netanyahu said Jerusalem never will be divided.

"Jerusalem is Israel's capital," Netanyahu said at an event marking Jerusalem's reunification. "Jerusalem was always ours and will always be ours. It will never again be partitioned and divided."

In response, the State Department released a statement that Jerusalem "is a final status issue."

"Israel and the Palestinians have agreed to resolve its status during negotiations. We will support their efforts to reach agreements on all final status issues," the statement said.

Also last week, a top Palestinian Authority official claimed in a WND interview that the Obama administration told the PA that Jerusalem will never be united under Israeli sovereignty.

I agree...but one day...

I will see if I can find more details about his exact intent.


Surely, nothing will happen concerning Jerusalem UNLESS Israel agrees with it.

The issue at stake is a section of Jerusalem, "East Jerusalem" where many Arabs have lived for many, many years.

However in 1967, Israel conquered this part of the city and claimed it as theirs-- a claim not yet recognized by the international community.


So, using the Israeli court system, Jews have been taking back this area, block by block, home by home.


It is the goal of Mr. Abbas to have this section of Jerusalem known as, "East Jerusalem" for the capital of Palestine. President Obama sees this as a concession that Israel could make for the sake of peace in the region.

Israel says no. Obama wants to force them. And having even half of Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state (which would have to be craved in the middle of Israel) would be a death warrant for Israel. It would become indefensible.

Perhaps it will bring peace.

This doesn't matter, it doesn't have anything to do with the Bible. There isn't any real Jews...............just ask the preterists.
