No sign Israel, Palestinians narrowing gaps to allow negotiations

Prophecy Sign:  Jerusalem and Israel will be like a huge and burdensome stone to the nations.

I am going to make Jerusalema cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judahwill be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 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 12:2-3 NIV

Those words spoken by Yahweh God and recorded by the Prophet Zechariah have never been more applicable and prophetic to the events of this week and those of next week as the world struggles with what to do about the Palestinian/Israel conundrum.

From the articles:

Israelis and Palestinians showed no sign Thursday that they were willing to narrow the gaps that have stalled negotiations for years, an ominous sign for the U.S.-led effort to curb a Palestinian statehood bid at the United Nations. An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomacy, said there was no talk about a freeze of construction of Jewish settlements. And a top Palestinian official said they would not drop their twin conditions for negotiating: That Israel stop building on lands the Palestinians want for a future state and agree to base talks on borders as they existed before the 1967 war.

Diplomats scrambled on Thursday to head off a clash over Palestinian plans to seek full U.N. recognition with little visible sign of progress and a deadline some 24 hours away. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad briefly seized the spotlight at the United Nations General Assembly, accusing the United States of using the September 11, 2001, attacks as a pretext for attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan and condemning western support for Zionism. But attention focused on the crisis looming over this year's U.N. meeting -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is ready to submit his application to the U.N. Security Council on Friday despite pressure from U.S. President Barack Obama to forgo the U.N. option and resume direct talks with Israel. Obama's meetings with Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday ended with no breakthrough, illustrating stark new limits of U.S. influence over a process that is spinning in unpredictable directions.
