EU Foreign Ministers Move Toward Sanctions on Israeli West Bank Settlements

The European Union Foreign Ministers' Council is set to meet on May 11 to potentially approve sanctions against Israeli settlements in the West Bank, confirmed by an EU ambassador. This marks a significant escalation of international pressure against Israel's presence in the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria, reflecting the growing global isolation of Israel prophesied in Scripture. The prophet Zechariah warned that all nations would turn against Jerusalem in the last days: 'I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about' (Zechariah 12:2-3).
