Prophecy Sign: Jerusalem and Israel will become like an burdensome stone for the nations of the world
The world’s efforts to solve the Palestinian/Israel conundrum continues. The date for a UN declaration of a new Palestinian state is fast approaching, and the de-legitimization campaign of Israel will heat up at the upcoming Durban III conference in New Your later this month, (see video below).
Just as bible prophecy warned, the world's efforts seem to do nothing more than cause great consternation among the nations.
On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. Zechariah 12:3 NIV
From the articles:
Israel is preparing security forces as well as diplomatic and legal responses for a planned Palestinian bid this month for admission as a state to the United Nations, but officials say they do not expect a major eruption of unrest as a result of the move. Despite intensive Israeli diplomatic efforts to head off U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state, a senior official involved in shaping the Israeli response said the government is resigned to the General Assembly endorsing the move later this month. “We’re aware that we have very little ability to prevent it, because it’s the U.N., so we have to learn to live with it,” said the official, who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity to discuss the subject freely. He described the United Nations as a body with an automatic anti-Israel majority.

The Palestinian statehood bid comes amid stalled peace negotiations with Israel. Israel and the United States oppose the bid, saying a state must be established through negotiations. Israel has been lobbying EU capitals not to endorse the move. Diplomats expect a split among EU members akin to that over Kosovo's independence, which five members of the 27-nation bloc refused to recognize. They say Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden may back the resolution. News of the possible EU split came a day after French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he wanted to see a united European Union voice on the issue of Palestinian statehood at next month's United Nations General Assembly and urged the United States to do more for peace.
