Israeli-Palestinian Peace Talks on the Brink Already
The Jerusalem Prayer Team reports: The already shaky agreement between theHandshake PAID Israelis and the Palestinians to resume peace negotiations became even more tenuous today. The talks that were supposed to take place tonight have been cancelled after Palestinian rioters attacked Israeli troops near the refugee camp of Qalandiya, north of Jerusalem. After being assaulted with rocks and Molotov cocktails, the Israeli troops responded with force against the mob, and three Palestinians were killed. No matter how much pressure the United States puts on Israel to negotiate, the Jewish People cannot make peace with those who do not want peace. It is more important now than ever that we stand firmly and publicly with Israel.

Iran yesterday threatened that Western action against Syria would  escalate into a war  that would “engulf the whole region,” pointedly warning of “perilous consequences” in the aftermath of harsh statements from the State Department and White House accusing the Bashar al-Assad regime of crossing Washington’s long-standing “red line” against the use of chemical weapons. The Guardian conveyed the statements of Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi, contextualizing them as evidence that Tehran was “resolved” to defend the Assad government.

Iranian media today carried statements by a top Syrian officer declaring that Syria will lash out at Israel – the exact phrase was that the Jewish state “will burn with the fire of war” – in the event of Western strikes against Damascus. Top Israeli officials had met earlier at the Israeli Defense Ministry to prepare responses to potential attacks by Syria and its Shiite allies Iran and Hezbollah, which Syrian and Iranian officials had already threatened in the event of increasingly likely Western strikes.

Egyptian media outlets report on dwindling crowds at Muslim Brotherhood rallies being held in support of the country’s former President Mohammed Morsi, even as the pro-Brotherhood National Alliance to Support Legitimacy announced that it was seeking to conduct new demonstrations.
