Fatah and Hamas have called for another “Day of Rage” today (Fri, 7/28). Although the Israelis have taken the metal detectors off the Temple Mount, the violence continues on and in the vicinity of the Temple Mount with threats of increased violence today (and it is Friday afternoon in Jerusalem as I write this). In essence, this is a “new” declaration of war over Israel and the Temple Mount, though it is nothing new in the Fatah and Hamas rhetoric. With Tisha B’Av coming next Tues, Aug 1, the attempts at increased violence is likely to continue for awhile. I say “continue” because our prayers can help bring it to a close. I don’t think I can say much more than “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem!”
