Barak: Israel ready to cede parts of Jerusalem in peace deal; US Intel: Tehran pushes Hizballah hard to attack Israel
A large-scale attack appears to be in the works judging by the heavy influx of armed Hizballah units to southern Lebanon in the last few days. Our military sources report that they include special units trained especially for deep-strike incursions into northern Israel in response to Israeli counter-attacks.
Hizballah's own direct commander on behalf of the IRGC, Hassan Mahdavi is reported by Western intelligence sources monitoring events in Lebanon as leaning hard on Hizballah's secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah to strike IDF forces within a few days in response to US sponsorship of direct Israeli-Palestinian talks. The terrorist chief is reported to be on the verge of a decision about what target to attack and when.
According to debkafile's military sources, Hizballah appears to be preparing a major attack on Israel straight after the ceremonial start of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in Washington Thursday Sept. 2. A second target date is the Jewish New Year festival starting on Sept. 8.(Debkafile).
According to Debkafile sources, a large buildup of armed Hizballah troops has placed the area on high alert and war readiness. Intelligence sources are saying that Iran is pressuring Hizballah's secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah to attack Israel in the coming days. Two possible target dates for this major offensive are September 2nd, the day direct peace talks begin in Washington and September 8th, the start of the Jewish New Year festival.
It would not surprise me if this attack did take place. Most of the Islamic world is not in favor of peace with Israel. I expect more pockets of violence to pop up as direct talks get underway....even to the point of war. It should be noted, Syria and Hezballah just reconfirmed military cooperation on Monday in the event of a future war with Israel.
On the eve of direct talks, Israeli officials are signaling that they may be willing to compromise on core issues. One major compromise is rumored to be that they may even be wiling to cede parts of Jerusalem to the Palestinians at some point in the framework of a peace deal. Defense Minister Ehud Barak, stated before news media that, "West Jerusalem and 12 Jewish neighborhoods that are home to 200,000 residents will be ours. The Arab neighborhoods in which close to a quarter million Palestinians live will be theirs (Haraetz.com)."
He also said that the Netanyahu administration would be willing to turn over the section of Jerusalem where the Temple Mount is located to a special regime.
"There will be a special regime in place along with agreed upon arrangements in the Old City, the Mount of Olives and the City of David," he said (Haraetz.com).
According to leaked sources close to the talks, US President Obama plans to pressure both sides into signing a peace deal as soon as possible even though it will not be fully implemented until years down the road. The immediate push will be for a framework deal to be signed now that will "lead to the signing of a final status peace deal within one year (Israel Today)."
As direct talks get set to start, the question on the minds of many is, are we looking at the beginning of the process toward the start of the tribulation period? Certainly, I believe these talks will set the stage for the framework of the coming tribulation period. Whether or not President Obama will ultimately be the leader who confirms and makes strong the coming seven-year peace plan is still unknown.
Are you ready to meet the Lord? If not, your time is running out!
