Should we just pray that the latest political “peace process” will succeed and that the Jews and Arabs will all stop fighting each other?

Should we pray that Israel’s Prime Minister will give the Palestinian leader all that he asks for so that he stops his people attacking Israelis.

Do we think Jerusalem should be handed over to the Palestinians and that they will then allow free access for Jews and Christians?

Do we assume that they will not then start pushing for more and pursue the destruction of Israel and the driving out of the Jews?

How do we reconcile praying for peace with the events that appear to be moving towards fulfillment of the prophecies of conflict and suffering, and the nations coming against Jerusalem to fight against it?
