Prayers for Peacemakers, 28 August 2013

Pray that the Israeli High Court will render just decisions
on 2 September 2013 when it decides whether the Israeli military can evict
hundreds of families from their homes in the South Hebron Hills, and whether
settlers can take over the Rajabi building in Hebron.
