Palestinians counting on Obama for state

Prophecy Sign:  Dividing the land, given by God as an eternal inheritance to the Jewish people

September approaches, and the Quartet of America, Russia, the United Nations and the European Union, continue to push hard to see a further division of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. 

I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Joel 3:2 NIV

From the articles:

The Palestinians are signaling they are still planning to go ahead with efforts to declare an independent state with the backing of the United Nations. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said during a visit in Tunisia that the Palestinian Authority is ready to establish a state. "We are counting on the words of US President Barack Obama who said his vision is to see a Palestinian state this coming September according to a deadline set by the Quartet."  Abbas added that 130 countries have already recognized a Palestinian state on 1967 borders and that this number could well reach 140 or 150.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday urged Israel and the Palestinians to resume dialogue immediately even as unrest roils the region. Clinton stressed that "it is in the best interest of both the Israelis and the Palestinians, even in the midst of everything going on in the region, to try to turn to the hard work" of negotiating a settlement.
