Bibi will lead Israel again as we come to the Last of Days
"Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you." (Deuteronomy 1:13)
Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went into yesterday’s election
trailing his Zionist Union rival Isaac Herzog by four seats, last
night’s exit polls showed them neck-and-neck.
But
this morning the Bibles For Israel Ministry staff woke up to see that
Israel would be led by the man who believes that the Land of Israel is
the Biblical Jewish Homeland and its land is is not to be given away to
Arab and International demands.
"I
am voting for Bibi, because this is a Jewish nation, and it must stay a
Jewish nation, promised to us in the Torah. My grandparents came out
of the Holocaust to build up this country, and we can not let the
Leftist liberals rule it. They will make concessions will the Arabs,
who eventually will drive us into the sea," said Yardena from Kiryat
Bialet, a suburb of Haifa.
A
Channel 2 exit poll declared that Netanyahu's Likud had won 28 Knesset
seats in the 120-seat Knesset (Israeli parliament), and Herzog’s Zionist
Union party 27.
Two other Israeli broadcasters gave both sides 27 seats each.
Since
61 seats are needed in order to secure a majority under Israel's
proportional representation voting system, no matter who wins, that
party would need support from other parties to form a governing
coalition.
No party has ever won an outright majority.
“Against
all odds, Likud achieved a great victory, a great victory for the
nationalist camp under the Likud’s leadership, a great victory for the
People of Israel,” Prime Minister Netanyahu wrote on his Facebook page
last night.
Netanyahu has indeed secured a fourth term in office, and has become Israel's longest-serving leader.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cast his vote as soon as the polling
stations opened in Israel for yesterday's election.
Saudi Prince on Iran Nuke Deal: “We Want the Same”
"Whoever
is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to
disillusionment. Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the
pit they have made. The trouble they cause recoils on them; their
violence comes down on their own heads." (Psalm 7:14–16)
While
many have criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu’s alarms regarding a
nuclear Iran, an increasing number of world leaders are aligning
themselves with his recent warnings to the US Congress that the proposed
deal is a bad deal.
Senior
Saudi Prince Turki al-Faisal al-Saud reinforced Israel's warning saying
that if Iran were to be granted the right to become a nuclear power, Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries will insist on receiving the same terms, resulting in a nuclear arms race.
"I've
always said whatever comes out of these talks, we will want the same,"
al-Faisal said of the P5+1 (the six world powers) talks.
"So
if Iran has the ability to enrich uranium to whatever level, it's not
just Saudi Arabia that's going to ask for that. The whole world will be
an open door to go that route without any inhibition, and that's my
main objection," he emphasized. (Ynet)

Al-Faisal
said Iran’s support of the Lebanon-based Shiite group Hezbollah and
other proxy radical groups is disruptive to regional stability.
"Ending fear of developing weapons of mass destruction is not going to be the end of the troubles we're having with Iran," al-Faisal told the BBC.
The
prince is not a government official, but his opinion on related matters
is thought to represent the viewpoint of Saudi Arabia's ruling family,
according to the Jerusalem Post.

States Secretary of State John Kerry flew to Saudi Arabia to assure
officials that the US goal is to reach "a deal that would protect the
world from the threat that a nuclear-armed Iran could pose." (BIN)

Netanyahu also found support in another unlikely source.
“The
Israeli PM managed to hit the nail right on the head when he said that
Middle Eastern countries are collapsing and that ‘terror organizations,
mostly backed by Iran, are filling in the vacuum’ during a recent
ceremony held in Tel Aviv to thank outgoing IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen.
Benny Gantz for his role during ‘challenging’ times,’” Faisal J. Abbas,
the editor-in-chief of the Saudi-owned news outlet Al-Arabiya, wrote.
“In
just a few words, Mr. Netanyahu managed to accurately summarize a clear
and present danger, not just to Israel (which obviously is his
concern), but to other US allies in the region,” Abbas added.
Meanwhile,
in an attempt to halt a bad deal, a letter written by freshman Senator
Tom Cotton of Arkansas and signed by 46 fellow Republican senators was
recently sent to Iran’s negotiators, assuring them that Congress must
approve any deal for it to be effective. The letter also promised that
if President Obama acts unilaterally, the next president to be elected
in 2016 could cancel that deal. Whether such events actually take place
remains to be seen.
