Yisrael Katz wants to name stop on new rail line after US president for his ‘brave decision to recognise city as Israel’s capital’
Israel’s transport minister is pushing ahead with a controversial plan to extend Jerusalem’s soon-to-open high-speed rail line to the Western Wall, where he wants to name a station after the US president, Donald Trump.
Yisrael Katz’s proposal for the “Donald John Trump” station, which is in the initial planning stage, involves constructing two underground stations and excavating more than two miles (3km) of tunnel 50 metres beneath central Jerusalem and under the politically and historically sensitive Old City.
The Western Wall is the holiest site where Jews can pray, and the new station would be located near the Jewish Quarter’s “Cardo”, an ancient thoroughfare a few dozen metres from the wall.
The Cardo – meaning “heart” – was Jerusalem’s main street 1,500 years ago, paved in the 2nd century by Hadrian and later extended south to the area of today’s Jewish Quarter in the 6th century by Justinian.
Pope Francis used his annual Christmas Day message to pray for a peaceful two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Speaking just days after members of the United Nations condemned US President Donald Trump's move to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the Pope prayed for the "peaceful coexistence of two states within mutually agreed and internationally recognized borders."
"We see Jesus in the children of the Middle East who continue to suffer because of growing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians," Francis said in his "Urbi et Orbi" message Monday. "Urbi et Orbi" is Latin for "to the city (Rome) and to the world."
"On this festive day, let us ask the Lord for peace for Jerusalem and for all the Holy Land. Let us pray that the will to resume dialogue may prevail between the parties and that a negotiated solution can finally be reached.
"May the Lord also sustain the efforts of all those in the international community inspired by good will to help that afflicted land to find, despite grave obstacles, the harmony, justice and security that it has long awaited."
The Pope also urged followers to pray for peace in Syria and Iraq while highlighting the struggles of the children of Yemen, an ongoing conflict "that has largely been forgotten," he said.

Arab League nations should pressure the US to reverse its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Lebanon’s foreign minister told a gathering in Cairo, which condemned the move as “dangerous and unacceptable.
“Pre-emptive measures (must be) taken against the decision, beginning with diplomatic measures, then political, then economic and (then) financial sanctions,” Gebran Bassil said Saturday at a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Egypt's capital, as cited by Reuters.
The Arab League’s foreign ministers convened an emergency meeting in Cairo, following a Palestinian and Jordanian request to forge a united response to Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and the US' plans to relocate its embassy to the Holy City

North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile that flew higher than any of its previous efforts, shattering a respite from military tests and reminding the world of its ability to launch missiles capable of landing far from the Korean peninsula.
The Pentagon said it believed the projectile was an intercontinental ballistic missile that travelled roughly 1,000 km eastward before plunging into the Sea of Japan. Japanese broadcaster NHK reported that the missile remained airborne for 50 minutes and likely landed in the waters of the country's exclusive economic zone, citing the country's defense ministry.
The latest act of North Korean aggression demonstrated military advances that have expanded the range of the country’s ballistic missiles and imperil more than just the country’s close neighbours. The projectile soared higher than any previous North Korean launch, Defense Secretary James Mattis said, warning that North Korea now “can threaten everywhere in the world, basically”.

Most well know is Daniels 70 weeks prophecy which actually also relates to the City of Jerusalem.
Daniel 9:24
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Daniel 9:25
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
7 weeks plus threescore (60) and two weeks = 69 weeks.
69 weeks of years 69 x 7 = 483 years.
483 years ago from present day. was the time that Suleiman the magnificent a muslim, came to Jerusalem which was a ruined, unwanted mess.
He then went to work rebuilding the Jerusalem wall which still stands to this day. He also started to rebuild the city and that also still stands to this day.
this means 69 out of the 70 weeks of years have now passes.
we are now in the time where the 70th week, which is the last 7 years is about to begin.
Daniel also prophesied that an agreement with many would be made for one week (of years)
Daniel 9:27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week.
So when you see an agreement with many (nations) this will be the prophecy fulfilled and the last 7 years.
Although Jesus did say the days will be shortened.
Daniel 9:27
and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease
The second part of the prophecy confirms that Gods temple will be rebuilt again as among the 7 year agreement the Daily sacrifice, the burnt offering is taken away. This is the offering made on the Altar in the temple of God.
This event will actually be the true gauge until the end of the age and the return of Jesus Christ..
Daniel 12 confirms this and then gives us a time frame until the end.
Daniel 12:11-12
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
