Focus on Israel
1. Supreme Court rules unanimously in favor of Netanyahu-Gantz unity government - World Israel News
Israel's Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may form a new government while under indictment, clearing the way for him and his main rival to join together in a power-sharing national unity coalition.
The unanimous decision, released just before midnight, ended a more than year-long political stalemate and prevented the country from plunging into a fourth consecutive election in just over a year. Netanyahu and his rival-turned-partner, Benny Gantz, said they expected their coalition to be sworn into office next week.
After battling to three inconclusive elections, Netanyahu and Gantz announced their emergency government last month, saying they would put aside their rivalry to steer the country through the coronavirus crisis.
Critics claimed the deal was illegal and challenged it in the Supreme Court. In particular, they objected to the creation of a new position of "alternate prime minister," a post that will allow Netanyahu to remain in office throughout his trial.

2. Netanyahu Looks to Install Sensors into Children that Buzz if They Get too Close to You - Breaking Israel News
On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation of Israel to update them on the latest easing of Health Ministry regulations.
Some of the measures lifted include the allowance of families living in separate locations to meet in gatherings. Malls, Gyms, Libraries, and water activities will also open on Friday. Additionally, by the end of May, all school classes will return to normal.
However Natanyahu also warned of a second wave of the Chinese Virus saying: "I pray it won't happen but with God's help and you're help, we will be ready for it."
The Prime Minister also said that he is looking into "technologies that haven't been activated yet." He continued saying "Technologies that will be legal that we operate. It means perhaps, new methods that we're working on. I spoke with our head of technology to search for various technologies that Israel excels at." (Read more)
3. Israel threatens to shut down new evangelical GOD TV channel if it proselytizes - Christian Post
A new evangelical Christian television channel in Israel has been threatened with being shut down if it engages in any type of missionary activity, according to Israeli media reports.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that the international television network GOD TV's new Hebrew-language channel Shelanu began airing last week on Israel's HOT cable network after receiving a seven-year license from the Israeli Communications Ministry.
GOD TV CEO Ward Simpson announced the launch and declared that the network has been "given government permission to broadcast the Gospel of Jesus Christ" in Israel, something he said has never been done before.

4. IDF hits targets in Gaza Strip after rocket fired into Israeli territory - Jerusalem Post
The IDF confirmed on Tuesday night that IDF tanks struck three sites belonging to Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip, after a rocket was launched from Gaza towards southern Israel earlier in the night.
One rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip towards southern Israel on Tuesday night triggering a red alert in an open area, according to an IDF spokesperson.
No injuries or damages were reported.
The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Wednesday morning that one of its members from Gaza City had died after a terror tunnel he was working in collapsed. It is unclear if his death had any connection with the rocket fire or the IDF's response on Tuesday night.
The rocket fire was the first in about 40 days. The last rocket fire from the Gaza Strip was reported at the end of March, when one rocket was fired from Gaza and fell in an open area in southern Israel. The IDF responded to the rocket fire in March by attacking "military positions and infrastructure used for underground activity by Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip," according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.

5. Israel Plans Thousands of New West Bank Homes as US Voices Readiness to Back Annexation - Algemeiner
Israel announced a plan for thousands of new homes in the West Bank on Wednesday as Washington voiced readiness to back de facto Israeli annexations there.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo plans to visit Israel next week, a source said, a sign that he is weighing in on a territorial issue that has been a centrepiece of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition-building efforts.
Netanyahu wants to ally with political rival Benny Gantz and start cabinet discussions on July 1 about declaring Israeli sovereignty over settlements and the strategically-key Jordan Valley in the West Bank. The unity government deal has been contested in Israel's top court.

The Daily Brief
1. Thousands sign petition supporting pro-life sidewalk counselors arrested during COVID-19 - Life Site News
The petition demands that that the rights of sidewalk counselors be protected during the COVID-19 pandemic as police frivolously arrest peaceful activists nationwide.
The Personhood Alliance partnered with LifeSiteNews to launch a petition to demand that that the rights of sidewalk counselors be protected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Affiliates and allies of the Personhood Alliance have hand-delivered more than 15,000 signatures to state and local leaders around the country, in the communities most impacted by sidewalk counselors' arrests and threats of arrest for peacefully witnessing outside abortion facilities. These arrests and threats are egregious violations of First Amendment rights. (Read more)
- Father God we pray for your supernatural protection over these pro-life counselors. We pray the rights of these sidewalk counselors be retired and be protected during the COVID-19 pandemic in Jesus name. Amen.
- "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." (Deuteronomy 31:6)
2. Virginia Officials Pad Their COVID Numbers - Admit to Counting Same Person Three Times if They Received 3 Different Tests - Gateway Pundit
The commonwealth of Virginia saw a surge in coronavirus cases this week after they changed the way they are counting COVID-19 testing. Commonwealth officials announced that if the same person tests positive for coronavirus three times that will count as three separate cases of the virus.
During a COVID-19 briefing, The Virginia Department of Health announced it will now count the number of positive virus tests instead of the number of people who test positive.
That means if one person is tested three-times and all three tests come back positive, it counts as three instead of how the numbers were being counted before, which would have only been one because it was a single patient. (Read more)
- Father God we pray this deception around the coronavirus would come to an end right now in Jesus name. We bind all efforts by the media, governments, and politicians that seek to drag this out and mislead the public in Jesus name amen.
- "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
3. Dr. Fauci Says Wuhan Virus Was Likely Not Created in Wuhan Lab He Funded with Millions of US Dollars - Gateway Pundit
Doctor Shi Zhengli from China was part of a team, including Doctor Ralph S. Baric from North Carolina, that published an article in a 2015 edition of Nature Medicine. In the article they discussed bat coronaviruses that showed potential for human emergence. The article was published in 2015.
After the work stopped in the US, the Chinese moved forward with the project and ran research and development in Wuhan at the Wuhan Virology Center. From Shi Zhengli's papers and resume, it is clear that they successfully isolated the coronavirus in the lab and were actively experimenting with species to species transmission.
This information provides a basis that contradicts the theory that COVID-19 is a variant that just magically mutated in a bat in the wild and then jumped to a human when they ate a delicious bowl of bat soup. And now It is reported that the leader of the US task force overseeing the country's response to the China coronavirus, Dr. Tony Fauci, was the one who funded the Wuhan bat virus work and kept it going. (Read more)
- Father God we pray that you would reveal the truth around this coronavirus pandemic. Reveal to the American public things that are done and said in secret. Reveal any and all corruption that may be taking place during this time in Jesus name.

4. Committee formed to make Michelle Obama Vice President - WND
Michelle Obama has insisted she's not interested in becoming the running mate of likely Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Nevertheless, left-wing activists are ramping up an effort to draft her, arguing she fulfills two major progressive requirements. She's black and she's female.
The Committee to Draft Michelle Obama, which filed with the Federal Election Committee last month, issued a news release Monday via the Chicago Defender.
"Joe Biden has said he would choose Michelle Obama as his running mate 'in a heartbeat.' The aim of this campaign is to build on the substantial grassroots support for a potential Michelle Obama candidacy and help garner media attention for a vice-presidential nominee who has the power to beat Donald Trump," the release said. The committee said it "firmly believes" Obama "will not only benefit the Democratic ticket this November but also help lead this country to be more just and caring." (Read more)
- In the name of Jesus Christ we cancel all schemes and plans of the enemy to put the Obamas back in office seeking to further the demise of America. We ask for your heavenly strategies on how to be successful in our messaging so that your absolute truth is revealed to the public concerning the 2020 election. Amen.
- "For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." (Deuteronomy 20:4)
5. Two Charged in Rhode Island with Stimulus Fraud - Justice.gov
First in the Nation to be Charged with Fraudulently Seeking CARES Act SBA Paycheck Protection Loans.
Two businessmen have been charged in the District of Rhode Island with allegedly filing bank loan applications fraudulently seeking more than a half-million dollars in forgivable loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
David A. Staveley, aka Kurt D. Sanborn, 52, of Andover, Massachusetts, and David Butziger, 51, of Warwick, Rhode Island, are charged with conspiring to seek forgivable loans guaranteed by the SBA, claiming to have dozens of employees earning wages at four different business entities when, in fact, there were no employees working for any of the businesses.

6. Justice Department Sides With Virginia Church in COVID-19 Restriction Dispute - The Epoch Times
The Justice Department (DOJ) has sided with a church against Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's stay-at-home order that bars in-person religious services that have more than 10 people during the CCP virus pandemic.
State and local measures to mitigate the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus have recently sparked a debate over how far measures can go to protect public health before they are deemed a violation of constitutional rights and civil liberties.
The department weighed in on the issue in a statement of interest supporting Lighthouse Fellowship Church, a congregation in Chincoteague, Virginia, filed in a federal court on Sunday. DOJ lawyers argued that the church has "demonstrated a likelihood of success" under its Free Exercise claims because Northam's restrictions appear to discriminate against religious groups and institutions.

- Father God thank you for a department of justice who rules and judges correctly especially in the favor of religious liberty. Please continue to protect religious liberty and churchgoers during this hard time. In Jesus name amen.

Former President Barack Obama joined prominent Democrats arguing that the United States should implement a vote-by-mail option in the upcoming fall elections.
"Let's not use the tragedy of a pandemic to compromise our democracy," Obama wrote on social media. "Check the facts of vote by mail."

8. F-15 protecting Trump at Camp David made emergency landing on fuselage, officials say - Fox News
An Air Force F-15 aircraft protecting President Trump while he was at Camp David over the weekend made an emergency landing at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland after an in-flight emergency, officials said.
A spokesperson for the base said in a statement that the aircraft from the 142nd Fighter Wing was conducting "Operation NOBLE EAGLE" mission for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, when it diverted to the base around 1:30 p.m. Saturday. "The aircraft's landing gear malfunctioned and the aircraft came to rest on its fuselage," the statement said. "There were no injuries to the pilot and runway operations have been unaffected."
An investigation into the incident is ongoing, officials said. (Read more)

Soft tyranny and COVID-19
The political left is using the COVID-19 crisis to take away your rights and to secure themselves power for decades to come. Mail in voting is just one step. People would mail in their votes, and that is fine-just like absentee voting. However, the political parties will have lists of who has voted, and that's when the chicanery begins-all those dead people who still are on the voting rolls, all those who haven't yet voted-are subject to voting fraudulently. This is how elections are stolen. That's just the start of it. What happens if the government (local, state or federal) says no COVID-19 vaccine, no public service, no flying, no working, no buying food? They are already monitoring you with cameras and drones.
Alexis de Tocqueville defines soft tyranny in his book Democracy in America, Volume II (1840): "It [the government] covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence: it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd."
We have to be careful that the cure is not worse than the disease. Minimum guaranteed income, vote by mail, mandatory vaccinations all would be the beginning. Then comes your free speech. Then comes your religious freedom--No, it is here now. On April 29, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas announced plans for reopening the city. One of the requirements: "Religious gatherings like weddings, church services and funerals can resume with 10 people inside a location and 50 people outside, as long as social distancing is maintained and names and contact information of attendees is kept." Open businesses must also record names, contact info and times customers frequent. Sounds benign enough, but what do you think those names and contact information will lead to? Softy tyranny, that's a given. Shut your mouth. Do as you are told.
This is a new standard of tyranny because it creates a concern that you are being watched just in case you step out of line or speak your mind that it may invite some government investigation or ruination. We are becoming victims of soft tyranny. Galatians 5:1 says, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." A free people can only exist by adhering to the precepts of God. Bondage is bondage, whether it is sin or tyranny. We live in a society where a sinister minority is using fear to remove your Constitutional rights. Let's not be victims of tyranny of any form. Speak your mind. Wake up your family, friends, neighbors about this threat. We need to stand.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

President Trump: “It’s Time to Reopen America”
President Trump Says It's Time to Reopen America Safely, Offers 'Love' and Advice for Folks Over 60
President Trump says it's time for the focus of the country to shift. His administration is now working to find a way to get the economy back up and running - while also protecting people.
"I think that as far as the task force, Mike Pence and the task force have done a great job, but we're now looking at a little bit of a different form and that form is safety and opening and we'll have a different group probably set up for that," President Trump told the media while touring a Honeywell factory in Arizona. His first trip out of Washington since March.
Administration officials say the task force will probably end in late May or early June, but doctors Birx and Fauci will continue to advise the president.
"It's the balance of something. That's a very difficult choice, how many deaths, how much suffering are we willing to accept to get back some form of normality sooner rather than later," Dr. Anthony Fauci recently said during an interview with CNN.
Some 38 states are now in the process of reopening. Among those, COVID cases are on the rise in at least 19 of them.
A model from the University of Washington predicts the number of deaths could increase to nearly 135,000 by the beginning of August. Still, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, the president questioned the accuracy of that kind of model and expressed confidence in his decision to move forward with reopening.
"We're going to practice social distancing, we're going to be washing hands, we're going to be doing a lot of the things that we've learned to do over the last period of time. And we have to get our country back," Trump said.
The president expressed sympathy for the families who have lost someone to the virus and told ABC's David Muir that the elderly need to continue to take extra precautions.
"I want to say: 'I love you,' I want to say that 'we're doing everything we can.' I also want to say that 'we're trying to protect people over 60 years old. We're trying so hard,' and - everything I've said today - I'd like to preface it by saying if you're 60 years old and especially if you're 60 or even less than that and you've had a heart condition or you've had diabetes or a problem of any kind - it seeks out problems," Trump said.
The president also cited progress on the administration's push to get a vaccine ready by the end of the year. As to opening up the economy and getting people back to work, Trump is predicting a turnaround and a strong third-quarter. (CBN) Read more.
- Father God, we join our President in offering condolences to the many families who have lost loved ones to this virus, and we remember them in our prayers, even on this National Day of Prayer.
- "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5:4)
- And Lord God, we also ask that You now begin to restore that which the locust has eaten, due to the rampage of COVID-19 in our nation. These include:
-- lost income
-- lost revenue for businesses (large and small)
-- lost HOPE among our people
-- lost revenue on the stock market
-- lost food supplies as the farmers were directed to destroy their crops due to food supply challenges
-- lost sanity, with lifestyles thrown into chaos and isolation
-- lost TRUST of our governing authorities
Thank You, Father God, for hearing our prayer today, amen.
VERSES TO DECREE:
- Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)
- And my God shall supply all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19)
- "For no word from God will ever fail." (Luke 1:37) -
And finally, Joel 2:24-26
IT IS WRITTEN:
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. 27 Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame.
AMEN!
White House Honors National Nurse’s Day
First Lady Melania Trump has a message for America's nurses!
On this National Nurse’s Day, we should all take a moment to reflect on the dedication of America's incredible healthcare workers. While their selflessness is evident each day, the risks and challenges of the job are on full display during this pandemic.
First Lady Melania Trump shared a video message today to thank nurses for slowing the spread of Coronavirus and saving many American lives.
"In addition to the work you do each day, you have gone above and beyond your call of duty in responding to our nation's invisible enemy, COVID-19," she said.
"You are an inspiration to us all, and your actions show us the true power of the American spirit. Thank you for your care and compassion. Our nation will continue to pray for your safety and strength."
> > > To view the First Lady's message to America's nurses, please go here.
In the Oval Office today, President Trump recognized a group of exemplary nurses and signed a Presidential Proclamation in honor of National Nurse’s Day.
"You are warriors," he told them.
Our healthcare workers should have every resource at their disposal during this pandemic. Tapping into the full potential of both our public and private sectors, President Trump has overseen a massive delivery campaign, shipping over 70 million N95 respirators, 112 million surgical masks, and nearly 1 billion gloves nationwide.
Those numbers will continue to grow in the days and weeks ahead.

BE THOU MY VISION
"When a prophet of the Lord is among you, I reveal Myself to him in visions,
I speak to him in dreams." (Numbers 12:6)
Lyrics
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle shield, sword for the fight;
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight;
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heaven's sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

IT'S RAINING PLASMA ON THE SUN
AND:
HAIL COVERS DESERT NEAR DEAD SEA AS THE HEAVENS RUMBLE WITH THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
"I tracked it for 2 hours using my 100mm refractor with an H-alpha filter (tuned to the red glow of solar hydrogen)," explains Chapeland. " It was wonderful to discover in the resulting video so many fine patches of gas falling downward along the magnetic field lines. I measured some of them speeding at around 100,000 mph!"
Prominences like these are the subject of cutting edge research. Inside the structures, solar magnetic fields lift planet-sized clouds of hydrogen above the surface of the sun. Sometimes, hydrogen-rich plasma leaks out, producing a type of glowing hot rain.
Mysteriously, some of the "raindrops" plummet faster than ambient magnetic forces seem to allow. The theory of magnetic diffusion applied to solar prominences predicts much slower speeds than the 100,000 mph Chapeland measured. This rainstorm is breaking the speed limit!
SOLAR RAINSTORM UPDATE: The "raining prominence" described below dissipated during the late hours of May 5th. However, the movie is still worth watching! (Read more)

HAIL COVERS DESERT NEAR DEAD SEA AS THE HEAVENS RUMBLE WITH THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
The heavens over Israel were active on Tuesday night, pouring down rain over most of Israel. But the sky over Arad in the Judean Desert adjacent to the Dead Sea was particularly turbulent with an unprecedented 828 lightning strikes recorded and hail covering the desert sands. One prominent rabbi sees a direct connection between the Biblical plague of hail mixed with lightning, the coronavirus pandemic, and the final redemption.
The Israeli Electric company reported the lightning, noting that it was an unprecedented number for May, marking an increase of 2,748% from May's monthly average of 30. On Tuesday, the Israel Water Authority noted that the last time the country experienced two consecutive winters with this amount of rain during the winters of 1986 and 1987.
The double blessing ended a five-year drought which brought the Sea of Galilee close to its all-time low in April 2017, when the level dropped to 698 feet below sea level. The current level is minus 685 feet.
Arad is located on the border of the Negev and the Judean Deserts, 16 miles west of the Dead Sea and 28 miles east of Beersheba. The city represents a powerful example of modern events echoing Biblical history. Arad is mentioned in the Bible in the story of the failed attempt to reach the Promised Land (Breaking Israel News)

ANSWERED PRAYER: POLL SHOWS FAITH INCREASING IN U.S.
Church buildings have been closed across the country, but many Americans say their faith has still grown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A quarter of all Americans say their religious strength has strengthened as a result of the outbreak, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center. Just two percent of those polled say their faith has grown weaker.
Most of those polled say their faith hasn't changed much (47 percent).
Christians are more likely than any other religious group to say their faith has grown stronger during the COVID-19 emergency. This includes 56 percent of Protestants in the historically black tradition, as well as four-in-ten evangelicals (42 percent) and roughly one-quarter of Catholics (27 percent) and mainline Protestants (22 percent).
Pew reports it remains to be seen whether the strengthened faith some Americans are experiencing will push them to attend more worship services. Due to the nationwide social distancing guidelines, most churches and other houses of worship are closed. . .
More than 8 out of 10 Christians who regularly attend worship services say their church is offering streaming or recorded services online or on TV.
A Pew survey conducted in April found that 57 percent of adults who attend religious services at least monthly said they have watched worship services online or on TV due to the coronavirus outbreak.

About CHPP
About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government. Our primary purpose is to offer intercession on site for the members of Congress and their staffs each day that the Senate and the House of Representatives are in session; and our chief prayer focus is that "God's will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." [Matthew 6:10].
Because Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God." [Romans 13:1]
