• Two separate parts - the West Bank (controlled by Fatah) and the Gaza Strip (controlled by Hamas). The Palestine Authority in the West Bank controls the main towns and scattered enclaves. The rest is made up of 240 Jewish settler enclaves and areas controlled by the Israeli military authorities. The intense half-century of conflict between Arabs and Israelis urgently needs resolution and a lasting settlement. The future of the Palestinian exiles is uncertain. (Two million live in 61 refugee camps in surrounding lands.)

• Pray for solutions to these major issues:

An equitable settlement of the land issue, and the future of the Jewish settlements in the Palestinian areas. Both sides feel they have strong legitimate claims to the land.

The future of Jerusalem — claimed by both Israelis and Palestinians, each as their exclusive capital.

The unresolved future for the Palestinian exiles who make up 55% of all Palestinians. Two million live in 61 refugee camps in surrounding lands.

Pray not only for the peace of the land, but that Jewish Israeli and Palestinian Arab may meet the Prince of Peace, through whom alone any meaningful reconciliation can come.

• Christian Palestinians. Numbers have declined dramatically from around 12% in 1940 to 1.4%, because Christians have moved to other parts of the world. Thank God for the Christians and Jews that remain in Palestine, and pray for their protection.
