A draft of the summary statement that will be released at the conclusion of the 70 nation conference in Paris on Sunday has been leaked. As you will see below, this communique is going to call for the division of the land of Israel, for the establishment of a Palestinian state, for the 1967 borders to serve as the basis for final negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and for the condemnation of any officials that refuse to support a two state solution.
Of course this comes on the heels of UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which many believe represented America’s greatest betrayal of Israel. Israeli government officials are publicly warning that there is a possibility that the principles agreed upon at this conference may form the basis for another Security Council resolution before January 20th, and this is something that we should all be watching for very closely.
Haaretz exclusively obtained a copy of a draft of the summary statement that will be released following the conference on Sunday, and you can read it for yourself right here. Reportedly, there was a major meeting of diplomats last Friday, and the latest draft reflects feedback that was received from those diplomats during that meeting…
Last Friday, there was a meeting of senior diplomats from the dozens of Western and Arab countries that will attend the conference. The French delegate, Pierre Vimont, presented them with the first draft of the conference’s summary communiqué and asked for comments.
According to Western diplomats, Vimont said France wants to reach a consensus among the participating states on a balanced statement that would stress the centrality of the two-state solution to the international community, but would take this month’s transfer of presidential power in the United States into account.
In many ways, the document very closely tracks the language of UN Security Council Resolution 2334. Here are some of the things that really stood out to me in the draft…
-It makes a clear commitment to “two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security”.
-It insists that there must be an end to “the occupation that began in 1967”.
-It calls on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to publicly renew their commitment to a two state solution.
-It also calls on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to publicly renounce any of their officials that do not support a two state solution.
-It states that the 70 nations gathered in Paris only recognize the June 4th, 1967 borders, and that the only future changes to those borders they will recognize will come as the result of negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. And just like UN Security Council Resolution 2334, Jerusalem is specifically mentioned. So according to this document, Israel does not own the Wailing Wall, the Temple Mount, a single inch of the West Bank or a single inch of East Jerusalem.
-The summary statement will also call on all countries to clearly distinguish between the State of Israel and territories that would belong to the Palestinians based upon the 1967 borders in all of their dealings.
Needless to say, this is a horribly anti-Israel document and the Israeli government is already strongly denouncing it.
At this point, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is most alarmed about the possibility that this summary statement could be used as the basis for another UN Security Council resolution just a few days later…
Netanyahu fears that the final communiqué of the Paris conference will be adopted next Monday by the EU foreign ministers’ council and the foreign ministers of the Quartet, and might also be the basis for another resolution at the Security Council, which is scheduled to convene next Tuesday for its monthly debate on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
“We find ourselves only a few days before the Paris conference and, only a few days later, a Security Council debate,” Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday. “We are making a great effort to prevent another Security Council resolution.”
By organizing this conference and trying to lead the way in the effort to divide the land of Israel, France is in danger of greatly cursing itself.
Recently I was asked why God cares so much about Israel. Well, I think that a very basic illustration can help us to understand this better.
If you want to greatly anger any man, just go after his home and his family. This will be true in just about any culture all across the globe.
Similarly, when the rest of the world attempts to divide the land of Israel and hurt the Jewish people, they are going after the family that Jesus was born into and the city where He will rule and reign for 1000 years after He comes back.
When Jesus was being crucified, Roman soldiers divided up his clothing, and that was a deeply disgraceful thing to do.
But now just before Jesus returns, the entire globe is trying to divide up His land and divide up the one city on the entire planet that He has identified as His city (Matthew 5:35).
Why are our leaders being so foolish? In the Scriptures, God specifically warns us that in the last days He will judge the nations for dividing up His land. This is what Joel chapter 3:1-2 says in the Modern English Version…
In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. I will enter into judgment with them there regarding My people and My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land.
Those that bless Israel will be blessed, and those that curse Israel will be cursed.
And the 70 nations that are gathering in Paris, France on Sunday are literally in danger of cursing the entire planet.
Let us just pray that there will not be another UN Security Council resolution following this conference, because that would be absolutely disastrous for Israel, for the United States, and for the rest of the globe.
For students of eschatology; What comes after the obamanation?
Answer: The last Trump!
Ping
Trying to destroy Israel before Trump can stop them.
btt
Yeah, the UN resolutions hold a lot of water /s
Israel once again has America on their side and other countries will fall in line.
Honestly, is the UN going to send an army to enforce this?
The Un is a total joke.
Not a good idea to push BB’s buttons... If the fate of Israel is in danger, BB just might push a few buttons of his own.....KABOOM
God protects Israel and I wouldn’t go against God.
We are in the Hebrew year 5777. Donald Trump will be 70 years, 7 months and 7 days old on January 20, 2017. Seven is the number of completion.
If you haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, now would be a good time.
A cursed gathering that will bring grief to those who participate.
Bttt.
“It states that the 70 nations gathered in Paris only recognize the June 4th, 1967 borders”
There was no “Palestine” on Jun 4th, 1967. What borders are they referring to?
If wars could be won by raping children, the UN forces would be the most formidable in history.
Israel captured Jerusalem on June 7th, so if the UN moves the lines back to June 4th, it would mean that Israel will have to return quite a lot of territory, including perhaps the temple wall.
Does this 70 nation conference have any purpose other than agreeing upon a statement condemning Israel?
To Jordan?
I agree the numbers are significant. Another to consider is related to Zechariah 12:3:
"On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves."
There were 70 original nations, all from the descendants of Noah. So 70 nations coming against Israel during this UN meeting gets my attention in that they may represent All nations per Zechariah 12:3.
wow.
Since they intend to create a Palestinian state, Jordan’s border would likely remain the same. Otherwise, yes, Jordan.
Israel is slowly being backed into position for a very serious war for her survival. Fortunately she now understands that. I hope she also understands that in this next war she needs to be decisive and brutal beyond words.
