1. After Gantz says annexation can wait, Netanyahu snipes: 'It's not up to him'- Times of Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said his coalition partners in the Blue and White party were "not a factor" in whether annexation of West Bank lands would go ahead as planned.
The prime minister was responding to Blue and White chief Benny Gantz, the defense minister, who said fighting the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout should take precedence over any political decisions regarding the West Bank.
"We are in talks with the US team here in Israel," Netanyahu said at a Likud faction meeting in the Knesset. "We are doing it discreetly. The matter is not up to Blue and White, they are not a factor either way."
As part of the unity coalition deal with Likud, Gantz also serves in the post of alternate prime minister. Though he is seen as reluctant to move forward with unilateral annexation, he has agreed to allow Netanyahu to advance such a plan after July 1 if he can secure a Knesset majority.
Earlier Monday, Gantz told top US diplomats involved in discussions with Israel about annexation that the July 1 start date for the controversial step should be pushed back, citing the coronavirus crisis.
2. UN official calls for 'menu of countermeasures' to Israel's sovereignty bid - JNS
(June 28, 2020 / JNS) U.N. Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories Michael Lynk has urged the European Union to take real and drastic steps against Israel if Jerusalem moves forward with its plans to extend its sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, and parts of Judea and Samaria, and called upon the European body to "develop a menu of countermeasures."
In a June 26 statement to the U.N. Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner, Lynk wrote: "It has sometimes been said by critics of the EU's foreign policy towards Israel and Palestine that it suffers from paralysis and inaction. Nothing could better demonstrate that this argument is misplaced than for the EU to back up its criticisms of Israel's occupation and looming annexation with a decisive menu of counter-measures."
Lynk added that the European Union "should review and be willing to suspend or downgrade its array of trade and cooperation agreements, including the EU-Israel Association Agreement and Horizon 2020/Horizon Europe."
While more than 1,000 European lawmakers signed a joint letter last week protesting Israel's sovereignty plan, the European Union has so far failed to reach a unified decision on the matter, which it must do in order to pass a resolution.
3. Jordan said to warn Israel of harsh response to even minimal annexation - Times of Israel
Jordan has reportedly made clear to Israel that it will not accept even a limited annexation of West Bank land and will respond to any such move in the same way it would react to the unilateral annexation of all settlements and the Jordan Valley, as initially intended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Jordan has conveyed this uncompromising message to Jerusalem via several channels, Channel 13 reported Sunday evening, citing unnamed Israeli officials.
The report said one of those channels was a meeting last week between King Abdullah II and the visiting Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, who asked him how Amman would react to a limited Israeli annexation of several settlements or of settlement blocs from July 1.
4. 'Arabs, not Jews, founded and built Jerusalem' - Israel Hayom
A Jordanian institute presented a new spin on regional history over the weekend, claiming that it was the Arabs - not the Jews - who founded Jerusalem in biblical times.
According to Saudi daily Arab News, a position paper by the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought, an Amman-based think tank, asserted that Arabs were the first inhabitants of Jerusalem and have lived there for at least 5,000 years.
Jerusalem is home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third holiest site after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
According to the report, the institute is an Islamic NGO headed by Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, who has been serving as a special adviser to Jordan's King Abdullah since 2000.
5. Palestinians say ready for direct talks with Israel - YNET News
The Palestinians are prepared to renew long-stalled peace talks with Israel and to agree to "minor" territorial concessions, according to a counter-proposal to a contentious US plan.
A Palestinian Authority text sent to the international peacemaking Quartet and seen Monday by AFP, says the Palestinians are "ready to resume direct bilateral negotiations where they stopped," in 2014.
Palestinian prime minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said on 9 June that the PA had drafted a response to the US proposal but did not previously mention direct talks with the Israelis.
Israel's coalition government has set 1 July as the date from which it could initiate action on US President Donald Trump's Middle East controversial peace proposals.
The Trump plan paves the way for Israel to annex parts of the occupied West Bank, including Jewish settlements considered illegal under international law. The PA said the counter-proposal would be withdrawn if Israel went ahead with annexation "of any part of the Palestinian territory".

The Daily Brief
1. Gantz tells US envoys July 1 annexation start date 'not sacred' - Times of Israel
Defense Minister Benny Gantz told US diplomats that West Bank annexation moves should not be rushed through this week but can wait until after Israel deals with more pressing issues, pushing back against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's self-imposed July 1 start date for the controversial step.
Gantz met Monday with US President Donald Trump's peace envoy Avi Berkowitz and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, his office said, the latest in a series of meetings as Israel and the US attempt to coordinate and map out plans to begin to implement the US administration's Middle East peace proposal.
"July 1 is not a sacred date," Gantz told Berkowitz, a source close to Gantz said to The Times of Israel. "Dealing with the coronavirus and its socioeconomic and health consequences is the more pressing issue that needs to be tended to right now."
Gantz also hailed Trump's peace plan as "a historic step that constitutes the best framework to promote the Middle East peace process."
"It should be advanced with our strategic partners in the region and with the Palestinians, to arrive at an outline that benefits all sides in a responsible, proportional and reciprocal manner," he said, according to the source. (Read more)
- Lord God, we pray that not only will these talks be delayed, but will be dismantled altogether. In Your Name, amen.
- "Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted; propose your plan, but it will not stand, for God is with us." (Isaiah 8:10)
2. Iran issues arrest warrant for Trump over killing of Soleimani - Jerusalem Post
The killing of Soleimani brought the United States and Iran to the brink of armed conflict after Iran retaliated by firing missiles at American targets in Iraq several days later.
Iran has issued an arrest warrant for US President Donald Trump and 35 others over the killing of top general Qasem Soleimani and has asked Interpol for help, Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said on Monday, according to the Fars news agency.
The United States and Interpol both dismissed the idea of acting on such a warrant. Alqasimehr said the warrants had been issued on charges of murder and terrorist action. He said Iran had asked Interpol to issue a "red notice" seeking the arrest of Trump and the other individuals the Islamic Republic accuses of taking part in the killing of Soleimani. Alqasimehr said the group included other US military and civilian officials but did not provide further details.
US Iran envoy Brian Hook said the warrant was a "propaganda stunt" at a news conference in Saudi Arabia. "Our assessment is that Interpol does not intervene and issue red notices . . . (of) a political nature," he said. "This is a political nature. This has nothing to do with national security, international peace or promoting stability . . . It is a propaganda stunt that no-one takes seriously." (Read more)
- Father God, we cancel out Iran's arrest warrant against President Trump and 35 others. It is God's Word that stands against the evil acts of evil men/women. Protect and defend from loss all American presence in Iran. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him." (2 Chronicles 16:9)
3. Iranian official: IRGC to get 'surprising' weapon systems soon - Israel Hayom
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps will soon see several "surprising" weapon systems become operational, the country's semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted IRGC Commander Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami as saying.
"In the near future, we'll witness the coming into operation of surprising systems," he said, stressing that the attempts by the US to extend the UN arms embargo on Iran "would not affect our defense power at all."
Speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony held in Tehran to unveil new military equipment, Salami said that the IRGC "has not relied on foreigners to manufacture any weapon. ... Iranian scientists have stepped in to fulfill the country's defense needs with domestic capabilities." He further praised the IRGC's research and development effort, crediting them for manufacturing "a wide range of weapons, increasing the destructive power of weaponry, boosting their accuracy, making smaller arms, and automating weapons," Tasnim reported. (Read more)
- Almighty God, we pray that Iran's weapon systems will misfire every time they are used against Israel and/or America, or any friendly nation. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "God who will render to every man according to his deeds: but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth of God, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, shall tribulation and anguish be upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile." (Romans 2:6,8-9)
4. Facebook in hot seat over hate speech on its platform - Israel Hayom
Facebook's stock dropped more than 8% over the weekend, eliminating $56 billion from Facebook's market value and pushing founder Mark Zuckerberg's net worth down to $82.3 billion as a string of major advertisers announced they would be suspending their campaigns, citing the social media giant lacking policy on hate speech and inflammatory rhetoric.
the move followed the #StopHateforProfit campaign launched on June 17 by civil rights groups, including the NAACP, Color of Change, and the Anti-Defamation League in the wake of the protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody.
British-Dutch multinational consumer goods company Unilever, the company behind brands such as Ben & Jerry's and Dove, was the first to pull back from the online platform, saying it would boycott Facebook ads through the end of the year. It was soon joined by Coca-Cola, telecommunications company Verizon, the Hershey Company, and Levi Strauss & Co. (Read more)
- Almighty God, we pray all the sins that Facebook has committed by their evil influence be judged by the Lord Jesus Christ. Father, send Mark Zuckerberg a stern warning that will cause a turnaround in his life. We trust and pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "The mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled." (Isaiah 5:15)
5. Supreme Court declines to take up border wall case - CNN
The Supreme Court declined to take up a case Monday over the use of waivers by the Department of Homeland Security to speed up the construction of barriers along the US-Mexico border.
The Trump administration has waived certain legal requirements to proceed with border wall construction. Environmental groups who oppose the barriers say that waiving regulations comes at the expense of wildlife in the region and have challenged the authorities provided to DHS to do so.
The lawsuit brought by the Center for Biological Diversity, among others, is one of a series of legal challenges against the construction of President Donald Trump's signature border wall.
"We're disappointed that the Supreme Court won't consider the Trump administration's flagrant abuse of the law to fast-track border wall construction," said Jean Su, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. "This administration has made a mockery of the Constitution to build an enormously destructive wall. We'll continue to fight these illegal waivers and do everything possible to prevent further damage to the beautiful borderlands." (Read more)
- Father God, we thank You that our President is building this wall for our national security. We come against every tongue that is coming against him. in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen and amen.
- " . . . And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. . . ." (Isaiah 57:14)
6. De Blasio announces proposal to cut NYPD budget by $1B - Fox News
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he has proposed a plan for the city to cut $1 billion from the NYPD's nearly $6 billion budget.
The Democratic mayor revealed details of his proposal during a Monday morning press conference at City Hall. His announcement falls in line with city council leaders' calls for the billion-dollar cut to the police department's budget.
"My office presented to City Council a plan that would achieve the billion in savings for the NYPD and shift resources to young people, to communities in a way that would help address a lot of the underlying issues that we know are the cause of so many problems in our society," he said.
De Blasio prefaced his announcement by detailing what he described as "the toughest budget that we've had to do as an administration here at City Hall."
"We're in a whole different situation in fact than New York City has ever faced in our history - a health care crisis, an economic crisis, a disparity crisis, a budget crisis all wrapped into one and on a massive, massive scale," he said. "We've gotta focus on those basics health, safety, food, shelter."
The NYPD boasts the largest police force in the country with nearly 36,000 uniformed members and 19,000 civilian members. De Blasio emphasized that plan is still under negotiation and officials had not reached a final agreement. (Read more)
- O righteous Father God, we pray for Mr. De Blasio to be pulled back from cutting the budget for the NYPD. Lawlessness will become a greater problem so we pray that he will receive godly wisdom and retain the current police force. God, save the many lost souls in New York City. They desperately need You. In Jesus' Name we pray.
- "Destruction and misery are in their ways: and the way of peace have they not known; there is no fear of God before their eyes." (Romans 3:16-18)
7. Mississippi lawmakers vote to remove Confederate symbol from state flag - The Hill
Mississippi's state Senate on Sunday joined its House of Representatives in voting to pass legislation to remove the Confederate symbol from its state flag, The Associated Press reported. The measure now heads to the desk of Gov. Tate Reeves (R), who has already announced his intention to sign off on the legislation.
The bill passed in the state Senate in a 37-14 vote, just hours after the House voted 91 to 23 to do the same earlier on Sunday.
Philip Gunn, the Republican Speaker of Mississippi's state House, has long voiced support for the Confederate emblem's removal from the state flag, calling the symbol offensive, according to AP. "How sweet it is to celebrate this on the Lord's day. Many prayed to Him to bring us to this day. He has answered," Gunn said Sunday, according to the news agency.
Under the measure passed on Sunday, the Confederate emblem would reportedly be removed from the flag and a commission would be tasked with creating a new design. (Read more)
- Father God, we pray that Your will and only Your will be carried out with regard to the Confederate symbol being removed from Mississippi's state flag. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seems Him good." (2 Samuel 10:12)
8. Trump campaign postpones Pence events in Florida and Arizona as coronavirus cases spike - Washington Examiner
The Trump campaign has postponed events next week with Vice President Mike Pence in Florida and Arizona.
A campaign official told NBC News that the decision was made "out of an abundance of caution" as coronavirus cases spike in those two states and others.
Pence will still attend planned meetings with the states' governors and local officials. "The Vice President is still traveling to Texas, Arizona, and Florida this week as he said he is meeting with the governors and their healthcare teams," a spokesperson for the Vice President's office told CNN.
The Florida Department of Health reported 10,000 new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, racking up its tally to more than 132,500 total cases. Deaths in the state hover at nearly 3,400.
The Arizona Department of Health Services also reported an uptick of nearly 3,600 new cases between Friday and Saturday. There are more than 70,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Arizona and approximately 1,500 deaths. (Read more)
- Father in heaven, we pray that the liberal media be blocked from reporting false numbers of this virus. We ask God to enlighten the world of the truth, and open their eyes to the lies that are misleading all humanity. God, protect the vulnerability of people's minds to be given to fear, hopelessness, suicidal tendencies, and mind-control through the heartless news media. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness." (Isaiah 5:16)
9. Support for homosexuality increases as interest in religion wanes - Christian Today
People who say religion is not important to them are more likely to support homosexuality, new research by Pew has found. The study analysed the beliefs of over 34,000 people across 36 countries, with the UK having one of the highest levels of support for homosexuality.
The report, released on Thursday, reveals rising support for homosexuality in western European countries, Australia, the US and Canada, where marriage laws have been liberalised in recent years.
The percentage of people in the UK who believe society should accept homosexuality has risen by 10% since 2013, when Pew last asked this question. In the US, support for homosexuality has risen from 60% to 72% in the last seven years.
The study reveals a correlation between faith and support for homosexuality, with people who see religion as less important in their daily lives being more accepting of it. (Read more)
- Almighty God, we are facing the reality that if we no longer serve God and godly principles of husband/wife relationships, then satan and his league of demons will move in and take hold of people who will become their victims of evil and accept homosexuality. Lord God, raise up an army of strong believers in God and strengthen them to stand against this evil crowd. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet." (Romans 1:26-27)
10. Pence at First Baptist Dallas: America's foundation is freedom, freedom's foundation is faith - Christian Post
Vice President Mike Pence was the special guest speaker at the annual "Celebrate Freedom Sunday" at First Baptist Church Dallas, where told congregants that Christians need to hold fast to freedom and faith in "these challenging times. It is good to be back in church," Pence told the congregation before sharing a quote by President Donald Trump who recently said, "We will never stop fighting for the sacred values that bind us together as America."
Trump, he added, also said, "'faith and family, and not the bureaucracy and government, is the true way of life,'" and the "'we live by the words of our national motto: In God we trust.'" Pence continued, "The foundation of America is freedom, and the foundation of freedom is faith. From day one, President Trump has protected the freedom of all Americans. Only the nations that have the Lord as their God are blessed," he said.
"In these challenging times, let's hold fast to freedom . . . and to faith. Let's start praying for America again," he encouraged Christians before saying, "the greatest honor of my life is to be your vice president."
Dr. Ben Carson, the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development who also spoke at the service, said Christians should stand for what they believe in.
"Let's not look to somebody else to solve our problems," he told the congregants. "We all have a sphere of influence. Within that sphere of influence, we can determine how we're going to act, how we are going to treat our fellow men," he explained. "We're the ones who can push godly principles of loving your fellow men, caring about your neighbor, developing your God-given talents to the utmost so that you should become valuable to the people around you; you have values and principles that govern your life. And if we do that, not only will we be a great nation, but we will have one nation under God," he concluded. (Read more)
- Father God, bless Vice President Pence for his godly words of encouragement to all of America to hold onto the Lord and His message to all of us, "freedom's foundation is faith." God, move the hearts of America back to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We pray in the Name of Jesus.
- "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." (Romans 10:17)

Challenges of the heart
The NBA is likely going to allow players to replace their names on the back of their jerseys with a statement on social justice. Look for other major sports leagues to do the same. This may include the names of those who have been recently killed by police or vigilantes-George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. The national anthem during sporting events will not look the same this year either. Athletes will be taking a knee during the anthem. Already, the National Women's Soccer League opened their Challenge Cup tournament Saturday by kneeling during the anthem and wearing Black Lives Matter T-shirts. This is definitely going to challenge sports fans who do not want to see these kinds of protests.
Players for the Portland Thorns and the North Carolina Courage Women's soccer teams issued a joint statement before their soccer game: "We took a knee today to protest racial injustice, police brutality and systemic racism against Black people and people of color in America. We love our country and we have taken this opportunity to hold it to a higher standard. It is our duty to demand that the liberties and freedoms this nation was founded upon are extended to everyone." Statements like these will become commonplace throughout the sports seasons. Athletes will continue using their platform to draw attention to what they see as the need for change. There will be no escaping the reminder of these deaths as evidence of systemic racism.
Part of the challenge is that there is no real definition of what success looks like. There are some things in the policy area that will be changed-such as those mentioned in President Trump's executive order on Safe Policing. The executive order addresses policies and training regarding use-of-force and de-escalation techniques; early warning systems that help to identify officers who may require intervention; and best practices regarding community engagement. A database also will be created to track officers who have been fired, have criminal convictions for on-duty conduct, and/or civil judgments for improper use of force. These are changes on which most reasonable people can agree. There will be more to come.
A big part of the problem, however, is that Marxist organizations like Antifa and the actual organization registered as Black Lives Matter hijack issues that they believe gives them license to burn buildings, destroy businesses, overthrow police precincts, tear down memorials and other unacceptable acts that will likely turn well-intended people against any reform. Their goal is to deconstruct American society using any means possible. These are all matters of the heart. Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." We can see the evil issues arising out of the hearts of the malevolent. We can also see sincerity and empathy in well-intended hearts. Let us discern with pure hearts as directed by the Lord for as he said in Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
4th of July Alert!
4th of July ALERT!
I received an email from a respected church friend this morning. It appears that Antifa and BLM have huge stockpiles of professional fireworks. They plan to use the noise as cover for their gunfire. The fireworks will also cause multitudes of fires . . . both gunshots and fires overwhelming police and suburbs. Their goal is to overrun white suburbs and kill as many unsuspecting people as possible!!! They are also going to burn flags in the Gettysburg cemetery and destroy as many gravesites as possible. . . ads are actually online for people to join them! Please have the prayer warriors not only pray for their plans to be defeated, but have them alert their friends, family, neighbor's and any military or police they know. This could start on July 3rd, but is planned nationwide for the 4th. There are over 30,000 of them and they have planned that while we celebrate freedom that we will not be thinking of their terrorist attack. Please encourage everyone (and ALL the prayer leaders in every state) to alert everyone to their plans . . . pray to God that millions of good Americans are warned and ready.
- This is BEYOND SAD that they plan to ruin everyone's celebrations of freedom. PRAY MUCH between now and the 4th that all their fireworks back fires on THEM 7 fold.... this evil must NOT prevail over our land. -- Signed, Julia Hopkins

Utah fires prompt evacuations, local emergency declaration
A brush fire burns at the top of Traverse Mountain near Lehi, Utah, on June 28, with wind gusts more than 40 mph. The fire reportedly ignited due to fireworks.
Evacuation orders were triggered in the early morning hours on Sunday after fireworks ignited a wildfire on Traverse Mountain near the city of Lehi, fire officials said.
Wind gusts of more than 40 mph quickly spread the blaze, dubbed the "Traverse Fire", across 150 to 200 acres, which lead to the evacuation of more than 40 homes around 12:30 a.m., on Sunday.
The Traverse Fire burns near homes in Lehi, Utah, Sunday, June 28, 2020. Officials say fireworks caused the wildfire and forced evacuations early Sunday morning.
Evacuation centers were quick to open, but one closed shortly after due to "no clients at the evacuation center," The American Red Cross of Utah tweeted.
Officials told residents to evacuate if they were concerned or weren't sure if their area was under the evacuation order.

'What Our Country Needs': Group Brings True, Beautiful Worship Inside a Walmart, and It Just Kept Going (Video)
"Thank heavens there are still those who are faithful and believes in the power of worshipping One True God. This is what the world need to see than of those disrespect of our country." -Edgel Sipin
A group of protesters worships inside Walmart in North Versailles, Pennsylvania as demonstration of their peaceful rally.
With the riots and violent protests happening around America, a demonstration of a peaceful rally expressed through worship is what many need. Nancy Halford captured a video of the group singing "Our God Is Greater", "Waymaker", "Great Are You Lord", and "We Worship You".
Halford was working inside the store when the singing stopped her as the praises filled the atmosphere. A lot of the customers set their grocery lists aside and joined the group. It was the least of what they expected during an errand that they couldn't help but also record the extraordinary event.

Reading the Bible Together
WELCOME TO OUR BIBLE READATHON!
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:14)
> > > Reading the Word of God over our nation, six nights per week!! ALL NIGHT LONG!
We are now reading the Word of God every night (except on Sunday mornings) from midnight to 6:00 a.m. EDT. We are reading through the whole Word, from Genesis to Revelation, and beginning again in Genesis when finished. [As of this writing, over the past three years, we have now "read through" the entire Word of God sixty-five times, nonstop. Hallelujah!]
Our numbers of readers continues to grow over time. All are welcome to join, as we use "the weapons of OUR warfare" to confront our enemy and BRING HIM DOWN through the LOVE of our Messiah and, by faith, setting captives free!
Our conference number is: 712-432-0075. The access code is: 206425#.
Please call at any time from midnight to 6:00 a.m. EST! EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN OUR "WARFARE IN THE NIGHT", USING THE WEAPON OF HIS WARFARE - THE WORD OF GOD!
"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
> > > A footnote: 2020 has been declared "the Year of the Bible."
Hallelujah!!
Please join us as, together, we "soak the very atmosphere of our nation" in the WORD OF GOD!
In closing, let us decree together that . . .
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)
AMEN!!
Reminder!
