After a unanimous U.N. vote for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, Friday morning, Hamas answered their request loud and clear, dropping yet another barrage of rockets into Israel. Israel responded on the defense and struck down many weapons believed to be Hamas’ in the midnight hours. It is said that Hamas leaders have denied the cease-fire until Israel agrees to close down their two-week military operation within the Gaza Strip.
So what’s next in this continually unfolding crisis? It seems as though Israel’s security cabinet must decide whether to end the Gaza Strip operation or increase the attack on Hamas. How will Israel respond? No matter what option, it is vital that a decision be reached - and fast. Right now, every second counts as Israel fears a slow response may lead to increased danger for their soldiers on the ground.
As the world watches the Middle East, we all can’t help but wonder . . . can an agreement be reached before it’s too late or is this yet another turned page of Biblical prophecy?
