Regev: Transportation Ministry implementing ‘de facto sovereignty’ in Judea and Samaria – JNS.org
— Read on www.jns.org/regev-transportation-ministry-implementing-de-facto-sovereignty-in-judea-and-samaria/

A couple of quick points on this article, 

* Judea and Samaria are a part of ancient Israel

* America or any other nation has no right to tell the sovereign state of Israel what they can and cannot do.

* Americans need to realize that our partnership with Israel has benefitted us tremendously.

* Never before that I can remember has Israel been as strong and at the same time as vulnerable as they are today.  Possession is 9/10 of the law.  

* Building roads and infrastructure puts a stamp of ownership Judea & Samaria. Rh

New Policy of Israel

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The Policy of the Trump Administration is that the West Bank (Judea & Samaria) will not be annexed by Israel

Vance calls it an insult on Israel annexing the West Bank and calls it. “Stupid “ political stunt. (It’s their biblical land) West bank is Judea and Samaria. 

Trump tells reporters, (don’t worry about it, won’t happen).  “They aren’t going to do anything about it.”

Trump in Time Magazine “Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened,” he said.  “It won’t happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries.”  

To be fair, Netanyahu also did not want the vote. (Appeasement to the Trump administration?) or something else.  There are factions in Israel that want Netanyahu ousted.

The (West Bank) as Vance  called it (carefully chosen words?) Is actuality in Judea & Samaria, a part of Biblical land given to Abraham in the eternal covenant.  

IMO – It was the Trump administration’s own ambassador Huckabee who began the push during the war with Hamas to start calling and visiting the Biblical land of Judea and Samaria.  This idea began to take on some steam until the past few weeks during this rush to make peace before the job by the IDF could be finished.  No doubt in my mind that the connection with Israel has been somewhat severed, and the ties to the Arab and Muslim countries have been pushed to the forefront during negotiations.

Listen I understand politics but God takes a very stern view of dividing the land. The big question is whether not allowing Israel, due to sensitivities of the Muslim world, should that halt Israel from annexing their homeland?  I think it matters.  I personally think it does equate.  It is always Israel that has to fight for every square inch of their land.  It’s always about Israel’s land.  To be fair it was only a symbolic vote.  But it is their God given inheritance.  

The concern for me and I hope many other Christian Conservatives is how easily American politicians turn their back on Israel and make strong statements of what will happen in the Middle East.  Admittedly the Middle East is a quagmire of political and religious obstacles.  

Petro $ and investment or the covenant. I choose the covenant.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio – Remarks in Israel

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Headlines from the remarks of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a visit to the International Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat:

Although there are difficulties in implementing the ceasefire, there are reasons for optimism.

We are working to create a better life for the residents of Gaza without Hamas.

If Hamas refuses to disarm, this will be a violation of the ceasefire agreement.

We expect the complete disarmament of Hamas.

All parties have agreed that Hamas will have no future role in the Gaza Strip.

The international force to be deployed in Gaza should be composed of soldiers from countries with which Israel feels comfortable (this is in response to the question regarding the deployment of Turkish soldiers – West Bank).

Applying Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank threatens the peace process; I believe this will not happen.

UNRWA will not be able to play any role in Gaza – it belongs to Hamas.

Judea & Samaria

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Right now there are two different bills being pushed forward in the Israeli Knesset. Both dealing with Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank. Trump is once again dictating to Israel. This should be their decision. Covenant matters more than investments. Rh

Trump on applying Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria: It won’t happen because I gave my word to the Arab states. Israel will lose all support from the US if it happens.

Judea and Samaria are the heartland of the Jewish ancestral homeland.
It is here that the stories of the patriarchs unfolded – the very foundation of our faith and history.

Now ask yourself: what matters more – appeasing Arab states that opposed even the move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, or standing firm for what is right according to biblical truth?

I’ll let you be the judge. Amir Tsarfati

Sovereignty over the West Bank?

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

US ambassador Mike Huckabee visited Efrat on Friday and visited with Efrat council chairman Dovi Schefler, as the visit came about as a historic opportunity for Israel to apply full sovereignty over the areas of Judea and Samaria.  Huckabee returned to the town for a social visit following a previous declaration to buy a house there and participated in Shabbat prayers at the Shirat David synagogue.

US Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s visit to Efrat “strengthens settlement in Judea and Samaria and illustrates the importance of Efrat as a central axis in settlement,” Efrat Council Chairman, Col. (res.) Dovi Shefler said on the visit.

“This is a time of historic opportunity to apply full Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and thereby establish our national and international status. Efrat is a magnet for Jews from both Israel and abroad, and the ambassador’s visit is further proof of the importance and resilience of the settlement.”  Huckabee previously laid the cornerstone at a then-new neighborhood in Efrat and has joked about buying a home there.

All eyes should be on the Middle East. What happens in this world is not without God’s notice. He is sovereign and His eyes never waver. We may be at the most dangerous time the world has ever known. The next few months could determine how long we have left. Look up, your redemption draws near.! The pieces are falling into place. Intercessors pray. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Likud MK Boaz Bismuth said Tuesday that applying Israeli “sovereignty” in the West Bank was at least as important, and more urgent, than reaching normalization deals with neighboring countries.

Bismuth, an ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who was recently handpicked by the premier to become chair of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, made the remarks on a tour of the northern West Bank as the guest of Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, who has long lobbied the government to extend sovereignty over the territory.

The tour took Bismuth to settlements, farms and security lookout points alongside Dagan and Yoni HaYisraeli, head of the local branch of Likud.

France, Egypt & Jordan warn: Israel’s Gaza offensive will ‘lead to disaster’ & ‘plunge region into permanent war’

August 20, 2025

Source: All Israel News

France, Egypt, and Jordan on Wednesday warned that Israel’s planned offensive– aimed at taking over Gaza City and, effectively, the entire Gaza Strip – would lead to disaster.

This followed several days of exchanges of diplomatic blows between Israel and France.

French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on  that he had discussed the Israeli plans with King Abdullah II of Jordan and with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

“We share the same conviction: The military offensive in Gaza that Israel is preparing can only lead to disaster for both peoples and risks plunging the entire region into a cycle of permanent war,” Macron said.

Israeli ambassador to France warns: Antisemitism in Europe at highest levels since WWII

August 18, 2025

Source: All Israel News

Israel’s ambassador to France, Joshua Zarka, said that antisemitism in France and across Europe has surged to levels not seen since World War II.

“We are facing an enormous wave of antisemitism in France and across Europe. It is something not seen since the last century, with the rise of Nazism,” Zarka said.

“The major outbreak occurred on October 8, 2023, when even as Israel mourned its dead and counted the kidnapped in Gaza, crowds took to the streets in Paris, London, New York, and elsewhere, shouting ‘Death to the Jews,’” Zarka continued.

Smotrich rejoices as settlement plan that ‘erases 2-state delusion’ gets final greenlight / Times of Israel

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

A major construction project that would see some 3,400 housing units built in the contentious E1 area in the West Bank, between Jerusalem and the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, was given final approval Wednesday.

Announced last week by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the controversial plan was formally greenlit by the Higher Planning Committee of the Civil Administration, a Defense Ministry department.

Smotrich, who also holds a junior ministerial position in the Defense Ministry that grants him wide say in settlement construction, called the decision “historic.”

He described the construction plan as a “significant step that practically erases the two-state delusion and consolidates the Jewish people’s hold on the heart of the Land of Israel.”

“The Palestinian state is being erased from the table not by slogans but by deeds. Every settlement, every neighborhood, every housing unit is another nail in the coffin of this dangerous idea,” the far-right minister declared.

This is a potential game changer. Building settlements on your own land should not be an issue, but this is Israel. Wo just wait and watch the heads explode with the construction starts. Grab some popcorn. Rh

In a conversation with Perkins the following day on “Washington Watch,” he was adamant, “We need to make sure … that biblical Judea, biblical Samaria, absolutely stays in control by the Israelis, by the Jewish people. It is their homeland. God gave it to them. And any attempt to make it anything…
