New Policy of Israel

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.

Game Changer

Wow the Prophetic Times we live in today are unbelieving. Event after event Below is a great article on Prophecy News Watch. Israel went deep into Qatar to flex their muscle against their enemies. Interestingly one reason Hezbollah agreed to disarm was their fear of the their leadership being assassinated. Cutting the head off the snake. (Side note) Hamas leadership lives in luxury while the soldiers live in squander and fear, promising 70 virgins. Wonder how that’s working out for them now!!

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

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

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

URGENT PRAYER NEEDED

ARE WE LOOKING AT ANOTHER BLACK MONDAY?

Good – BBB passed

Bad – Saudi Arabia: secret meetings 

Ugly – Judea & Samaria

Good: budget deal

Legislative Breakdown: What’s in the Big Bill

  • Tax Cuts Extended: The Trump-era tax reductions that were set to expire are now locked in, benefitting individuals and small businesses.
  • Tipped Wage Tax Eliminated: A major win for restaurant and service workers — and a clear political nod to working-class Americans.
  • Border Security Surge: Billions in new resources for the southern border — fencing, surveillance, and detention capabilities.
  • Regulatory Rollbacks: Additional deregulatory provisions aimed at streamlining federal red tape across sectors.
  • Planned Parenthoods lose $1 Billion close 200 facilities

Bad: Secret meetings 

Will this Monday be a “black Monday”, will Israel be sold out and told to accept a deal that is not in their best interest?  A few weeks ago Prime Minister Netanyahu flew from Europe to get Trump’s blessing to attack the nuclear facilities in Iran.  Trump told him to stand down and allow the US to broker a deal with Iran.  No deal was reached and the attacks happened anyway.  My fear is the same for this Monday, Israel needs to be in on all talks that concern peace in the Middle East. They are our long-time partners.

Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman secretly met with President Donald Trump and other key officials in the White House on Thursday to discuss de-escalation efforts with Iran, multiple sources confirmed with Fox News.

According to sources, the talks included discussions about de-escalation with Iran and getting to the negotiating table. The talks were also reportedly about ending the war in Gaza and negotiating the release of the remaining hostages – whether dead or alive – and about working toward peace in the Middle East. Although the talks were not exclusively about the possibility of normalization with Israel, sources said the conversation dealt with steps that needed to occur to get there.

The Saudis are in the process of finalizing a defense and trade deal with the U.S., and the message shared between the two allies, sources added, is that they see eye-to-eye on all issues.

  • Saudi Arabia – expansion of Abraham Accords
  • Likud Party deal to preserve Judea & Samaria
  • 60 day Hamas ceasefire
  • Who will rule Hamas?

Ugly: It’s all about the land.  

Remember James Carville ( insert crazy Cajun dialect) “It’s the economy stupid” to President Clinton on his re-election bid.  Well with Israel it is “all about the land.”

Fast forward to today: we are seeing signs of another round of Abraham Accord expansion, driven by geopolitical ambition and economic interests. Letters of warning have been sent to the White House by Pastors and Christian Conservatives, (myself included), but don’t yet know if they’ve reached President Trump’s desk. But the message remains the same

  • Genesis 15:18 (NKJV): On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.”
  • Joel 3:2 (NKJV): “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter judgment with them there on account of My people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: they have divided My land.”
  • Likud Party ministers in the Knesset demand that Netanyahu annex the West Bank (Biblical Judea and Samaria) before the end of the month.

Let us watch closely. Let us pray fervently. What are his faith advisors telling him?  

  • Are they speaking Biblical truth to Trump?
  • Do they understand the severity of dividing the land??
  • Or is Trump not listening to his counsel?
  • And let us speak truth boldly — that no campaign, no peace deal, and no political ambition is worth compromising the eternal covenant of the Lord.

Wrap up

  • Pray for discernment.  Someone needs to get into the President’s ear.
  • How badly does Trump want peace ?
  • Are financial deals more important?
  • Investments are great, but can two walk together???
  • Intercede because God frowns on division of the land of promise (covenant?)
  • Honoring God’s covenant with Israel is MAGA or America first.
  • Israel is the best friend we have in the world & in the most volatile area of  the world is Israel.

Sage words from Ambassador Mike Huckabee : “Hamas has “no future” in Gaza, it would be like the Nazis rebuilding Germany after WW2

Prayer points below:

  • Discernment for President Trump
  • No division of the land
  • No two state solution
  • Safety for IDF and citizens of Israel
  • Hostages returned first before a cease fire
  • Psalms 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Netanyahu & Trump Reportedly Working on a Plan to End Gaza War and Expand Abraham Accords

Well here we go again, mentioning a two state solution.  When will the supposed brilliant Trump administration (who plays 4D chess) realize that the Palestinians will never be peaceful.  They don’t deserve a state.  They are a terror group!  Where is this state going to be?  Next to Israel?  That won’t work and no Arab nation in the Middle East wants them.  Never have, never will.  Pushing a two state solution cannot happen.  God is not honored by this dividing of the land or allowing the inheritance given to Israel to be ”squatted on,” by the Palestinians.   Rh

US President Donald Trump is reportedly pushing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to conclude the 20-month-old war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip following the success of the 12-day war against Iran, several Hebrew media outlets reported Thursday, amid calls in Israel for the same.

Meanwhile, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported that as part of the American president’s plan to end the war, new countries would join the Abraham Accords, and Israel would be required to commit to supporting a future Palestinian state.

Citing an unnamed source familiar with the conversation, the newspaper reported that during the phone call, the two leaders agreed to wrap up the war in Gaza within two weeks, requiring Israel to halt its military offensive and Hamas to release the remaining 50 hostages.

The Palestinian terror group’s leadership would then be exiled, and four Arab states, including the UAE and Egypt, would be tasked with jointly governing the war-torn enclave in its place, the report said. It did not identify the other two Arab states that would supposedly govern the territory. Reported by watch.org
