Bibi and Eisenkot and the world — cloudy skies bring rain

Right now no one knows who is going to take over. Will it be Eisenkot? He has tremendous hurdles and challenges trying to recruit Lieberman (who doesn’t want to sit with the Arabs) and UTJ (who want draft exemptions —  something that Eisenkot and many of his partners don’t want). And will Shas come on board, so that Eisenkot won’t need support from the Arabs?

In the meantime Bibi has his own problems. As a caretaker Prime Minister, he cannot fund the religious schools (because he can’t legislate ways to bypass the court’s order to not fund draft avoiders). Does this mean that Shas and UTJ will feel forced to go to Eisenkot?

Also what’s going to happen with Iran? Trump just rebuked Vance, and stated clearly that the US does not need a peace deal with Iran. So will Trump attack Iran? And if he attacks, will Israel join? And how will all this affect Eisenkot’s efforts to form a coalition.

Perhaps the US (with help from Israel) will now come down hard on Iran, eliminate Iran’s nukes, and maybe even eliminate Iran’s regime.

That’s something that’s good not just for Israel, not just for the United States, but for Europe and the entire world. It’s good for Russia and China also. Because when rogue threats are eliminated, and when countries, especially powerful countries, learn to get along, than the world is a better place.

When nations become peaceful, (and there’s now reason to think that Ukraine and Russia might possibly make a deal, thanks to US mediation, and also with the possibility of Trump sitting down with Putin and the Chinese president soon), then there’s a lot of reason for optimism.

As nations and powers work  together for the benefit of humanity, we can’t help but be amazed at how all this is coming together. We can’t help but be amazed at the wondrous Divine providence, orchestrating the possibility for a world of peace and prosperity. A world that becomes keenly aware of Divine presence in our world.

Things are cloudy and unknown. But sometimes when there are clouds, rain comes, then the sun shines, and sustenance grows.
