Israeli Officials Critical of U.S. Support of Hamas-Backed Government

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 new crisis between Israel and its closest ally is developing because of the Obama Administration’s glowing support for a Hamas-supported government in Palestine.

Several key Israeli officials expressed their anger publicly concerning the U.S. State Department saying they are willing to work with the new Palestinian unity government that was built with the help of Hamas.  Even U.S. officials identify Hamas as a terrorist group yet the State Department ignored that in their endorsement of the new government.

“I have to say I do not understand this American announcement,” said Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz.  “You cannot present it as a Hamas government internally, then present it publically as a government of technocrats.  If these (ministers) are people who identify with Hamas, Hamas identifies with them and appointed them, then they are representatives of Hamas. This is a Hamas government, and Hamas is a terror organization.”

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki tried to avoid reporter’s questions about Hamas’ intimate involvement with the new Palestinian coalition.

“At this point, it appears that president Abbas has formed an interim technocratic government that does not include ministers affiliated with Hamas,” she said.  “With what we know now, we will work with this government.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly was “betrayed and deceived” by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry who told him that the U.S. would not recognize the new government immediately but then did so within five hours.

  1. Well, America is crossing the line again Mr. Kerry. You are setting us up again for God’s wrath upon America. Do not touch or compromise the land and defense of Israel. He will bless them that bless her, and he will curse them whom curse her saith the Lord Almighty God.

  2. God is and always will be IN CONTROL! He told us not to fear even if mountains come crashing down around us. “For He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” II Tim. 1:7

  3. He raises up Kings and Kingdoms and just as easily can tear them apart. God is in control, Yeshua is ready to come set up His Government and His Law will be fulfilled. Come Lord Jesus Messiah.

  4. The same God who said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed.”, (Genesis 32:28) does not change. (Malachi 3:6) Let God arise and His enemies be scattered! Hallelujah!
