Palestinians to request UNESCO membership

Prophecy Sign:  The world will concern itself with Israel and will continue to attempt to divide the land

The Palestinians are doing everything they can to convince the world to pressure Israelfor the further division of the land. The more the world legitimizes the Palestinians as an independent state, the greater the pressure builds on Israel.

 

“I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will 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

From the article:

Palestinian officials are set to seek membership in the U.N. cultural agency Wednesday, diplomats say, as they expand and accelerate their push for international recognition despite opposition from the United States and Israel. With peace talks stalled and landmark efforts to get Palestine recognized at the United Nations inching along a labyrinthine path, Palestinian diplomats are pursuing other, potentially faster avenues toward getting the world to consider their territories a nation.

One is in Paris-based UNESCO, the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, where full membership requires approval of a two-thirds majority in the 193-nation body. The Palestinians are also seeking a foothold in the World Trade Organization and won partnership status this week in the Council of Europe, the continent's leading human rights body.
