Since his inauguration, President Trump has been focused on ending the war in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel. Ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s visit to the White House last night, he once again renewed his efforts and calls for a ceasefire.

The U.S. is pushing a proposal that would establish an initial 60-day ceasefire and secure a partial release of hostages held by Hamas. The plan also calls for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza and lays the groundwork for talks aimed at ending the nearly two-year conflict.

The Caller reports that negotiations are set to resume in Qatar, though a ceasefire still seems far off. Hamas has reportedly responded well to the United States’ proposal, although it is seeking guarantees of a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of all IDF troops. Israel, meanwhile, has outright rejected these conditions, with Netanyahu’s office calling them “unacceptable.”

As peace and ceasefire talks continue, it’s important that we keep all leaders involved in our prayers. As prayer warriors, we know just how important Israel is, and we know that dire consequences await those who carve up her land. Let’s pray that President Trump pursues a lasting peace that also respects Israel’s sovereignty and biblically appointed land!
