Chris Katulka is vice president of North American Ministries at The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry and host of The Friends of Israel Today radio program.  He is a Bible teacher and writer for Israel My Glory magazine and is author of the book, Israel Always.

Jim opened the program with news that unless 7 Democrats join Republicans, there's going to be a government shut-down at midnight tonight.

Yesterday at the White House, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the multi-point Gaza peace plan.  As you can imagine, there's mixed reaction.  White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previously said that this plan would leave both sides unhappy.  Israel National News reported that hundreds of wounded IDF soldiers wrote to Netanyahu and told him not to adopt any plan that would lead to ending the fighting without a decisive defeat of Hamas.

Jim had Chris break down this peace plan, look at the reactions to it, find out what the next step is, discuss whether Israel  will be allowed to annex the West Bank, and much more.  Callers brought their opinions and questions to the broadcast as well.
