Israel, not much different than our United States, was built on the foundation of open worship .
Having one of the oldest recorded history, Israel, has stood up to the test .
of time and adversity. In the Bible is says- For you are a holy people, the lord your God has .

earth."" This is a promise of protection from God to Israel. This promise has remained a beacon of .
light for the people from then till now.
After W.W.II, the British backed of their mandate with Palestine, and the UN divided up the .
area into the Jewish and Arab states, which was later rejected by the Arabs. Wars broke out that .
did not dissolve any of the many problems between the two nations. On October 26, 1994, the .
Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace resolved many outstanding territorial disputes between Jordan and .
Israel. IN keeping with the framework established at the Madrid Conference in October 1991, .
bilateral negotiations were conducted between Israel and Palestinian representatives and Syria to .
achieve a permanent settlement. But the progress towards the permanent status agreement has .
been overthrown by the uproar of Palestine-Israeli violence since September 2000. .
Modern Israel is motivated largely by economics. Politicians keep their eyes glued on the .
Middle East, not because of their religious beliefs, but rather because they are practical. To most .
of them Israel has a glorious future because of her economics, political influence, geographical .
location and resources. Despite Israel having to depend on imports of crude oil, grains, raw .
materials, and military equipment, it still has a technologically advance market economy with a .
lot of government participation. Even though they have a very limited amount of natural .
resources , Israel has developed its agricultural and industrial strength over the past 20 years. .
