[Today's Prayer] Normalization of Israel-Syria Relations?... 'Golan Heights' is the Issue

Amid the trend of normalization of relations between Syria and Israel, the 'Golan Heights' is emerging as a key issue that will determine the direction of the situation.

Citing Israeli authorities, Israeli media outlet Ynet News reported on the 30th (local time) that there are doubts about the possibility of a peace agreement between the Syrian interim government led by interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Israel.

The core of the doubt is the location of the Golan Heights. Israel occupied the Golan Heights bordering Syria in the so-called 'Six-Day War' in 1967. It unilaterally declared annexation in 1981, but it is still treated as Syrian territory under international law.

Since then, the Golan Heights has emerged as an issue whenever normalization of relations between the two countries has been discussed. In 1999, when negotiations began under the mediation of the United States, the return of the Golan Heights to Israel was discussed, but the differences over access to the Sea of ​​Galilee were not narrowed.

In addition, last month, it was reported that Israel and the Syrian interim government had secretly contacted each other through the mediation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and discussed the possibility of Syria’s participation in the Abraham Accords. There are signs of improvement in relations between the two countries following the change of the Syrian regime.

In addition, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar recently told the local media outlet i24 News, “If we leave the Golan as ours, it will be a positive step for Israel’s future.” This statement is far removed from the Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights.

For now, discussions on normalizing relations between the two countries themselves seem active. Ynet reported that intensive discussions are taking place between Israel and Syria under pressure from the United States. The Abraham Accords are a representative diplomatic achievement of President Trump’s first term.

Some are reporting that Israel and Syria could sign a peace agreement by the end of this year. In this case, it is known that the two countries are discussing the idea of ​​making the Golan Heights a kind of 'peace park' to normalize relations.

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!(Psalm 128:1)

God, as the end times draw near, we see countless wars, turmoil, rumors, and spiritual wars centered around Jerusalem becoming more intense.

Please let the people of Israel, who are constantly struggling to protect themselves and trying to hide their fear by arming themselves with fighting power, realize that the only one who can save them is Yeshua, and let them cast off the yoke of suffering and gain true freedom in the Lord.

Also, may the Syrian people, who have been in the shadow of death due to the long war, be freed from the lies of Islam and become a people who receive new life in the truth in the living Jesus.

Although they were like blind people trying to gain national interests over the Golan Heights, at this time when the Abraham Accords are being resurfaced, may the Israel and Syrian people become devoted Christians who long for the kingdom of God more and prepare for the last days.

Would the awakened churches of Israel and Syria rise up and spread the name of Yeshua, the eternal Savior, and strive to nurture souls with the Word so that they can raise up leaders of the last days.

May Shalom, who forgives and unites with the love of Jesus Christ and prepares for the second coming of the Lord, come upon Israel and Syria!

May the Israel and Syrian people lead the final revival to all the nations!
