Crosstalk America from VCY America

This program featured Chris Katulka, live from Israel. Chris is assistant director 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, writer for Israel My Glory magazine and is author of the book, Israel Always.The release of Israeli hostages has been a step by step process that's set to take place over several weeks. Previously, seven had been released and now more have been set free. According to Chris, we could see up to seven released this week as well. He also indicated that a few of those released today were Thai workers who come to Israel to work on the farms to help with the elderly. As everyone can see, Hamas releases few Israelis while Israel has continued to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. This shows how Israel values life while Hamas values death.Has the U.S. been funding the Palestinian Authority? What was the mood like in Israel for Holocaust Memorial Day? How would King David be ruling the people at a time like this? What does the new Trump presidency mean to Israel? You'll hear responses to these and other discussion points on this edition of Crosstalk. More InformationTo obtain a free, one-year subscription to Israel My Glory magazine, call 1-800-257-7843.
