The latest revelation of additional details about the forthcoming Trump Middle East Plan should have every friend of Israel deeply worried.
White House envoy Jason Greenblatt told Yediot Ahronot on October 16: “Gaza and the West Bank have been separated for 10 years, not only physically, but politically—between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas…our peace plan intends to bring them together.”
Hamas is an openly genocidal, anti-Semitic regime that carries out acts of war against Israel —from mass border fence crashing to missile attacks— almost every day. How could it possibly be good for Israel to have the Hamas regime “united” with the Palestinian Authority?
Not that the Palestinian Authority is much different from Hamas. It shelters, sponsors, and pays anti-Israel terrorists. And it, too, spews anti-Semitic hate. Have we already forgotten PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s infamous speech on April 30, 2018, which even the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League acknowledged was filled with “anti-Semitic assertions”….? How can it possibly be good for Israel to have the PA strengthened through unity with Hamas and expansion into Gaza?
And take a look at the map. The only way to “unite” Gaza with the PA-controlled territories is by going through Israel. A highway would have to be built which would, in effect, cut Israel in two. How can that be a good thing?
There are a few other things we know about the forthcoming Trump Plan:
—It will likely place some kind of restriction on the right of Jews to live in Judea-Samaria.
In Feb. 9, 2017 interview with Israel Hayom, President Trump said: “The settlements are something that very much complicates and always have complicated making peace, so I think Israel has to be very careful with the settlements." Presumably his plan will reflect that attitude.
— Israel will have to “pay” for the U.S. recognizing Jerusalem. READ MORE
