MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Is the London Telegraph over-interpolating? Is WND misinterpreting Israel’s UN ambassador? Or do two seemingly contradictory articles mean something else is in play? …

By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu, Israel National News – “Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will deliver President Barack Obama an ultimatum that if the United States does not attack Iran soon, Israel will, the London Telegraph reported Sunday.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said last month that there is a ‘strong likelihood’ of an Israel attack by June. If Prime Minister Netanyahu delivers an ultimatum, it would give the United States 2-3 months to act or face the reality of an Israeli attack that would almost certainly require the United States coming to its aid, if necessary.
