4. Pro-Life "Turf Battle" Preventing Vote on Bill to Ban Nearly All Abortions - IFA

Pro-life groups and members of Congress are divided over whether on the day of the March for Life, the U.S. House should vote on a bill that would ban nearly all abortions, or instead a bill to ban infanticide after botched abortions.

The Heartbeat Protection Act would make it illegal to abort babies whose heartbeats can be detected. "It's the most protective incremental bill in existence," said one of its organizers, Janet Porter of Faith2Action.

The U.S. House is slated to vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would expand Bush-era anti-infanticide protections for babies born alive during botched abortions, on January 19 as hundreds of thousands of pro-life activists march through D.C.

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act has 87 cosponsors. The Heartbeat Protection Act has 169 cosponsors. (Read more)

- Ask the Lord to free the vote on this bill before Congress and save countless lives that weigh in the balance.

"Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them." (Psalm 139:16)

1. Israel-India guided missile deal back on track: Netanyahu - Reuters

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesdayduring a tour of India he had been informed by the Indian government that it had decided to put a major anti-tank missile deal back on track.

There was no immediate comment from Indian authorities.

Earlier this month, Israel's state-owned defence contractor Rafael said India's Ministry of Defence had cancelled the deal worth about $500 million to buy Spike anti-tank guided missiles.

"Following talks I have held with my friend, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian government has informed us that it is putting the Spike deal back on track. This is very important and there will be many more deals," Netanyahu said in a brief video statement during his five-day visit to India.

4. Shootout erupts in Jenin between terrorists and IDF - YNET News

At least one Palestinian terrorist, believed to be involved in the fatal drive-by shooting of Rabbi Raziel Shevah last week, was killed late Wednesday night after a gunfire exchange broke out in Jenin between Israeli security forces and Palestinian terrorists while IDF soldiers were conducting military operations.

According to initial reports, a number of Palestinians were wounded and shortly before midnight, at least two Palestinians had been arrested when the volley of bullets began as IDF soldiers were conducting an search operation in the city for Shevah's killers.

Palestinian sources reported that dozens of IDF vehicles entered the city and confiscated security cameras at gas stations.

The IDF operations came on the heels of developments earlier on Wednesday in the manhunt for the terrorists who murdered Shevah, with fresh information indicating that they fled to Jenin after the attack, rather than Nablus which security forces originally concluded.

5. Netanyahu says he wants to see more women in senior military positions - Jerusalem Online

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke out on Wednesday in support of the decision to appoint Maj. T. as the Israeli Air Force's first-ever female squadron commander. IAF Commander Maj. Gen. Amiram Norkin's decision has been strongly criticized by several religious officials, including the chief rabbi of Safed, who even called on Netanyahu to fire IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot over the appointment.

Netanyahu rejected Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu's remarks and said that he is proud of the appointment. "Not only will I not condemn the chief of staff, I praise him and the commander of the air force," the Israeli prime minister said from India. "I expect to see more appointments like this."

Netanyahu is not the only Israeli politician to condemn Eliyahu's remarks. Israeli Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) said that she is proud of the country's female pilots. "I salute the first woman who will serve as a squadron commander in the air force," she said. "The justified desire to enable a religious soldier to serve in a combat unit does not go against the advancement of women in the IDF."

8. Netanyahu Says US will move embassy to Jerusalem within year; Trump says 'no' World Israel News

The US will move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem much quicker than initially thought, possibly within the coming year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday.

Israeli media reported that on a flight within India as part of his six-day state visit to the country, Netanyahu commented that the embassy move will occur "much sooner than you think," likely within the year. However, when asked about Netanyahu's statement, Trump told Reuters that this will not happen. "By the end of the year? We're talking about different scenarios - I mean obviously that would be on a temporary basis. We're not really looking at that. That's no."

In December, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stated that the move of the American Embassy to Jerusalem is "not going to be anything that happens right away . . . it's probably no earlier than three years out." (Read more)
- Father, as we read news of this report, we come against any confusion of understanding between our two nations in this vital matter. Let all be done according to Your will, in Your timing we pray, amen.
