The Bible promised us that in the endtimes, current events would revolve around Jerusalem:
Israel's cabinet has approved punitive sanctions on the Palestinian Authority, now dominated by militant group Hamas.
Israel will withhold an estimated $50m (£28m) in monthly customs revenues due to the PA, as well as impose travel restrictions on Hamas members.
Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the PA was becoming a "terrorist authority" and ruled out any contact with a Hamas-led government.
Israel would allow humanitarian aid to reach the Palestinians, Mr Olmert said.
