Israeli-U.S. Relations Strained Over Iranian Sanctions

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.

A push from the Obama Administration to ease sanctions against Iran even if that country does not stop their nuclear program is causing severe tension between Washington and Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the rare step of blasting the U.S. in public demanding to know why President Obama was in such a hurry to lift sanctions against a country that has sworn to destroy Israel.

Some analysts believe that the current push by the Obama Administration to ease or remove sanctions against Iran for their nuclear program is an indication they’ve given up on attempting to broker a peace deal between Israel and Palestinians.

The White House issued a statement saying that President Obama had called Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Friday to talk about the negotiations with Iran and to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to keeping that country from obtaining a nuclear bomb. However, the statement did not include a reference the two men discussed the peace talks which is the first time a phone conversation between the leaders did not include that topic.

Israeli officials say that Obama’s hurried negotiations with Iran have stripped away most of the goodwill he built up during a March visit to Israel.

One thought on “Israeli-U.S. Relations Strained Over Iranian Sanctions

  1. America and the Church needs to wake up. Iran has not only promised/vowed and serious about destroying Israel(Little Satan as they call Israel but, also destroying America(The Big Satan) they hate both countries and people. They believe by this destruction their Mahdeed(Messiah) will come.

    America never even enforce the sanctions that were put on Iran in the first place and lifting sanction and offering Millions of American Dollars to Iran is Bribery regardless whether it was America’s or Iran’s. The Geneva Meeting recently proved just evil all these dealings are. France was not for lifting sanctions or giving Iran money but, increasing sanctions and enforcing them but, France was threaten that if they did not go along with the plan like everyone else their country would be bankrupt “Blackmail” in it’s highiest form and disgraceful, Amercia Secretary John Kerry was a part of that meeting in Geneva! Does the church need to stand up and wake up? Yes! Be as Bold as Lions, Strong In The Lord And The Power Of His Might, Be Strong And Of Good, Be Not Afraid, Neither Be Dismayed For The Lord Our God Is With Us Whereever We Go! No One Will Be ABle To Stand Before US!(Joshua 1:5 & 9)
