A Jew and a Gentile Discuss

Why Won’t Israel Agree to a Ceasefire?

Listen Later

In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra clarify some of the complexities of a ceasefire agreement and why Israel hasn’t agreed thus far. They challenge listeners to read multiple news sources to get the whole picture because a single source gives only a single perspective. They also offer some concrete ways to pray for Israel. Here’s some of what they cover in this discussion:

 

  • The fickle nature of the news cycle that has moved on from the Israel war, but Israel and the Middle East are still very much in the thick of it
  • Misleading headlines that don’t indicate the complexities of the war and what Israel is dealing with
  • The difference between a ceasefire and a truce
  • What’s breaking down in the recent ceasefire talks with Hamas
  • Four specific things to pray regarding this war

    •  

    Along the Way

    Along the way, you’ll hear about:

    • The root of anti-Semitism
    • Wait, what? Israel and Hamas were actually already in a ceasefire on October 7?
    • The humanitarian crisis in Gaza before October 7 – where did all that aid go?
    • How the tragic plight of the Gazans and the fight against the terrorist regime Hamas are separate issues in this very complex war
    • Who this war is not against
    • How both societies – Israel and Gaza – are traumatized right now, and both deserve our compassion and prayers
    • The abundant opportunities for the Gospel in both Israel and Gaza right now
