We pray for Palestinian unity.
The Fatah Bethlehem conference last week was an opportunity
for all members of Fatah to meet and address the future of the
Palestinian people. We pray that the different factions unite
around common goals to work together for a just peace.
We pray for relief for Gaza. On
Monday, Israel has bombed Gaza tunnels along the border with Egypt. For
Palestinians, the tunnels between Gaza and Egypt have become the
only conduit for essential supplies, made scarce by Israel's blockade of
the territory.
We pray for a resolution of the fundamental problem of the closure of Gaza and we pray for the strength of the people of Gaza as they suffer during this hot summer.

We pray for the
Sabeel clergy trip as West Bank clergy, those who could get
permits, traveled together to the north to meet with fellow
clergy from around Israel to speak about the current situation
in Shuf'amr as well as next year's Palestine-Israel clergy
conference.
We pray for the United Church of
Canada as they discuss the question of how to respond to the Occupation as a
denomination and in particular, their consideration of boycott, divestment
and sanctions as a church.
We pray for thoughtful dialogue and results that lead towards a peace rooted in justice.
