Clinton calls Netanyahu's moratorium proposal 'promising' US Secretary of State
says "status quo is unacceptable," working with both sides to resume negotiations; PM expected to pass US proposal

for a list of incentives from the US, including a squadron of Joint-Strike Fighters.
"This is a very promising
development and a serious effort by Prime Minister Netanyahu," Clinton was quoted as saying by AFP.

2 Esdras Chapter 6: 23-26 23 And the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man heareth, they shall be suddenly afraid. 24 At that time shall friends fight one against another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those
that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not run. 25 Whosoever remaineth from all these that I have told thee shall escape, and see my salvation, and the end of
your world. 26 And the men that are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the
inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning. |

The Ancient City
Of Hebron (Kiriath-arba)
el-Khalil. Hebron means a "community" or "alliance"). Hebron was a town in the mountains of Judah, about 3000 feet above the Mediterranean
Sea, and between Beersheba
and Jerusalem, being about 20 miles from each. It was named
Kiriath-arba (Gen 23:2; Josh 14:15; 15:13). About 2 miles to the N was Mamre, named after Mamre the Amorite (Gen 13:18; 35:27),
which is now called el-Khalil ( "the friend"). Among those who lived there were the Canaanites and the Anakim (23:2;
14:15; 15:13), Abraham (Gen 13:18), Isaac and Jacob (35:27). David made it his royal residence (2 Sam 2:1-4; 5:5; 1 Kings
2:11); as did Absalom (2 Sam 15:10). Sarah was buried here (Gen 23:17-20); Joshua took Hebron (Josh 10:36-37; 12:10), and
Caleb retook it (14:14). The Romans also captured and destroyed it. |
