Israel Hayom—Poll: Overwhelming majority of Israelis prefer sovereignty in Jerusalem over peace deal:
While it is often reported that most Israelis favor the two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, once Jerusalem is added to the equation, an entirely different picture emerges. A survey held this week found that some 67% of Israelis would oppose a peace deal that would grant the Palestinians partial sovereignty over the Old City of Jerusalem, with 33% saying they would support it.
Opposition to a peace deal rose to 84% if it grants the Palestinians full sovereignty over the Old City.
The poll, commissioned by Israel Hayom and conducted by the Maagar Mochot polling and research institute, was conducted after a Channel 2 News survey asserted last week that 47% of Israelis would support a peace deal based on the 1967 borders, with land swaps that preserve the large settlement blocs.
Following that poll some on the Left claimed the government was out of step with the electorate. But it turns out that such talk misses the point because it does not address the biggest issue that could make or break negotiations: the fate of the Old City of Jerusalem.
The term full sovereignty is rather well understood. But the term “partial sovereignty” means that the Old City would be split largely along the so-called Clinton Parameters, placing the Jewish Quarter in Israeli hands, but placing the other quarters or most of their area under Palestinian control. Such plans also mean that sovereignty over the Western Wall would not include sovereignty over the Temple Mount as a whole.

SnyderTalk Comment:
People who don’t realize that Jerusalem is important to Yahweh are in for a big surprise. Take a look at what He told Zechariah:
1 A prophecy: The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: 2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. 4 On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares Yahweh. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because Yahweh Almighty is their Elohim.’”
6“On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.”
7 “Yahweh will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day Yahweh will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like Elohim, like the angel of Yahweh going before them. 9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on Me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son. 11 On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be as great as the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 The land will mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, 13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, 14 and all the rest of the clans and their wives.”
(Zechariah chapter 12 in its entirety)
As you can see, Jerusalem is an important place. We are witnessing the fulfillment of prophecy. Those who don’t know Yahweh had better start paying attention.
Will they?
Some will. Some won’t.
Those who don’t will rue the day that they ignored the warning signs.

“If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14)
Change that Yahweh calls “good” begins in the hearts of believers—people who are recognizable because they are different.
We are different because we belong to Him and are called by His Name. We are Yahweh’s people, His followers.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
