Israel Offers Assistance to Friend in Need

May 15, 2014

On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered the government of Nigeria Israel’s assistance in locating 276 high-school girls who were abducted four weeks ago by the Boko Haram terrorist network.

The mass abduction by the Islamist terrorist group based in northern Nigeria was widely ignored by the mainstream media in the U.S. for two weeks, but persistent calls for action and awareness by Christians through social media eventually brought the atrocity to the world’s attention.

Netanyahu’s offer was expressed to Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan as the Prime Minister was traveling in Japan last Sunday. He said, “Israel expresses its deep shock at the crime committed against the girls. We are willing to help assist in locating the girls and fighting the terror that is afflicting you.”

Nigeria is one of Israel’s closest friends in Africa. Previously, Israel delivered medical supplies to Nigeria following a deadly Boko Haram attack against three churches on Christmas Day in 2011.

Of course, Israel has more experience dealing with Islamic extremist terrorist threats than any nation on earth. We’ll continue to keep you apprised of developments in this area.

As developments that affect Israel and the Jewish People unfold, a key part of our mission here at Jewish Voice is to keep you and other Believers informed, engaged, and prayerful. Of course, your ongoing support helps make that possible—but it does so much more.

Your gifts make you a part of countering the rising global tide of anti-Semitism; delivering medical, humanitarian, and spiritual aid to “Lost Tribes” communities; and sharing the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah with Jewish People the world over.

Please consider sharing an urgently needed gift of support for this important work today by clicking on the “Donate” button below. And we’ll continue to be here to bring you biblical interpretation and analysis of the latest news events. As a thank you for your generous contribution, we will send you an informative study concerning Islam and terrorism.
