Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has suspended all contact with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas after reports she privately compared Israel's treatment of Palestinians to South Africa's apartheid regime, a charge Israel called a 'blood libel.' This deepening rift between Israel and its Western allies signals the accelerating international isolation of Israel prophesied for the last days, when all nations will turn against Jerusalem. Zechariah 12:3 forewarns that God will make Jerusalem 'a burdensome stone for all peoples' and that 'all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.'
