US House Speaker John Boehner assured Israel Wednesday that the United States would back it in the face of growing Middle Eastern instability.
Speaker Boehner met with Israel’s Ambassador to Washington, DC, Michael Oren. Following the meeting, Boehner said: “Israel is one of America’s strongest allies. We share common values, and fight common enemies in the form of violent extremism. The people of Israel have sacrificed for the sake of peace and stability. With change coming rapidly to the Middle East, the United States is committed to standing by our close ally to maintain peace and stability in the region.”

The ambassador, for his part, expressed “deep appreciation for the Speaker’s unwavering friendship for Israel, and his firm leadership of Congressional initiatives in support of the Jewish state.”
Speaker Boehner’s commitment to Israel is “especially valued at this time of change in the Middle East, and as Israel continues to confront the threats of terror and Iranian nuclearization,” Oren added. “Israel,” he said, “looks forward to working with Congress toward achieving peace throughout the Middle East.
America is on a prophetic countdown to the gravest days in our history. In a few weeks, a vote will be taken at the United Nations that will force America to choose between standing with Israel and standing with her enemies. The Bible says we do NOT wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. This is a spiritual battle, and it must be fought with spiritual weapons.
Israel has asked the Jerusalem Prayer Team for its support at the United Nations and a week later as the nations of the world gather for the demonic Durban III conference to continue accusing Zionists of being racists. The first Durban Conference happened in 2001. At that conference, the Palestinians distributed copies of the anti-Semitic “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” to all delegates. It was the most evil anti-Semitic UN assembly ever against Israel.
The conference ended on September 8, 2001…and 72 hours later the US was attacked by Radical Islam. I can assure you that in the spirit realm, this was no coincidence. God’s Word promises a curse on any nation that touches Jerusalem. Once before, an American President attempted to divide Jerusalem and surrender the Temple Mount to radical Islam. That president was Bill Clinton. Now President Obama plans to do the same–this time by formally recognizing a Palestinian State at the UN in September within days of the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
For this reason, the Jerusalem Prayer Team will stand in the gap with a major campaign to stop this insanity. Israel will boycott this anti-Semitic conference in New York. When Durban II was held in Geneva I was there, sitting in an empty chair at the Israel desk, and defending that tiny nation as your ambassador. I have also supported Israel at UN conferences for decades. I also stood up to Iran’s evil president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last September face-to-face and will do it again this year.
