Israel To Reconsider New Housing In West Bank

Zechariah 12:3 “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

Editor's Note: Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered his housing minister to take a second look at plans to build more than 20,000 new homes in the West Bank.

Netanyahu said the move would create an unnecessary confrontation with the international community at the same time the Israeli government is asking the west to not make a deal easing sanctions on Iran.

The Palestinians said they would appeal any construction by the Israelis to the U.N. and that they would immediately end peace talks.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry last week said any settlement activity by Israel would be “illegitimate” and state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. would be seeking further explanation from the Israelis on the construction issue.
