I read an article this morning in an Israeli online paper claiming that there is a 50 percent chance that a truce will soon be reached between Gaza and Israel and a 50 percent chance that things will get much worse before they get better. As we hope and pray for a peaceful solution to this latest conflict, our hearts remain with our brothers and sisters in Israel. As I am sure you are reading and hearing plenty of political commentary, below are a few articles and resources with which you may not be familiar. May we soon see a peaceful resolution to this latest conflict.
