Palestinians are celebrating the news that the U.S. plans to reopen its consulate to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) in so-called “East Jerusalem.”

One leader of Fatah—the dominant faction inside the Palestine Liberation Organization—called it “the most important decision taken by the new U.S. administration” and said it “sends a clear message that East Jerusalem is part of the territories that Israel has been [occupying] since 1967.”

Make no mistake—Jerusalem is an obsession for the Palestinians! Another Fatah leader declared in June: “The Palestinian people, which has sacrificed thousands of Martyrs ... is prepared to sacrifice thousands of Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners for the sake of Jerusalem.”

But Jerusalem is at the heart of God’s plan for the Jewish people and, ultimately, the world. Mentioned by name more than 800 times in the Old Testament, Jerusalem is the city, God says, “that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel" (1 Kings 11:32), and “where I have chosen to put my name” (1 Kings 11:36).

It is, as the Lord also makes clear, a city for which He is “exceedingly jealous” (Zech. 1:14) and which He promises to make “a city of truth” and the “mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain” (Zech. 8:3).

Jerusalem is also the city to which Jesus will return one day in triumph—and where He will personally rule and reign!

But now Joe Biden is about to, in effect, challenge God by turning Jerusalem into a city to which both Israel and the Palestinians have “valid claims.”

Unless stopped, Biden is about to do even more with this plan to fan the flames of Middle East conflict by opening an American consulate and legitimizing the Palestinians’ fraudulent claim to Jerusalem.

First, Biden appeased the mullahs of Iran. Now, he is working to appease the Palestinians. We must take a strong and firm stand against Joe Biden’s betrayal of Israel NOW, before it is too late.
