Incorporation of Judea and Samaria into Eretz Yisrael
Reclaiming Judea and Samaria: Israel's Biblical Heartland | 21 Feb. 2017 |
Trump became the hero of Israel, more popular than Netanyahu, during his first term by approving moving U.S. Embassy to a United Jerusalem for Jews only and the incorporation of Syrian land, the Golan Heights. Trump was praised with his own illegal settlement of Trump Heights.
Trump further neglected the cause of Palestinians by setting up a FAKE economic enterprise of Israel with Sudan-Morocco-UAE-Bahrain and called it the "Abraham Accords" for peace in the Middle East ... a deal that was DOA.

Israel Is Officially Annexing the West Bank | Foreign Policy - 8 June 2023 |
A quiet bureaucratic maneuver by Netanyahu's government has begun transferring control over the occupied territory from military to civilian leadership--violating international law.
Then 10/7 took place and all bets were off ... heyday for terror cabal sitting in Jerusalem under leadership of Netanyahu and Gallant.

Trump's Bearhug of Netanyahu Saves Ceasefire | Tikun Olam |
What a difference a day makes! The original title of this post was "The Slow, Painful Death of the Gaza Ceasefire." But the rumors of its death were premature, as Mark Twain once said. Trump has surprised me, breathing new life into his 20 point peace deal as it appeared to be expiring.
Annexation: a new threat
Then a new threat emerged. A key provision of the deal is a prohibition against Israeli annexation of the West Bank. This is a critical issue for the Arab states who joined Trump and signed on to his plan, who wish to see a Palestinian state result from the process.
The Israel ruling coalition includes several Judeo-Nazi parties who are adamantly opposed to any peace deal. One of their MKs advanced a bill calling for annexation.
Though it seems like a bit of theater, Trump's team went into overdrive. A continuous stream of senior US officials landed in Tel Aviv, including Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio.
Their message was clear: don't mess with the US. Stop the shenanigans and get down to the matter at hand. The ceasefire must hold and you must not do anything to sabotage it. The Knesset result was a tepid 25-24 vote in favor, with over half the members abstaining. After Vance called the bill "stupid," even Netanyahu was forced to condemn it and promise it would not pass.
A Knesset statement said the bill was approved in a preliminary reading "to apply the sovereignty of the State of Israel to the territories of Judea and Samaria (West Bank)". It will now go to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee for further deliberations.
For the time being, disaster was averted. But it's clear that Netanyahu supports annexation. The full Knesset even passed a bill calling for it. Neither he nor Israel's Judeo-Taliban politicians give up easily or at all. They beat a tactical retreat, but then plot how to advance and secure their goal. They never stop. It's a toss-up whether Israel will officially annex Palestinian territory, but I would not want to bet against it.
The right-wing messianist commitment to its goal is ironclad. One of its key provisions is territorial domination. It views Christians and Muslims as defilers of a land promised to Jews by God. To attain the divine mandate, the land must be purified of its "alien" presence:
The dream for many extremist settlers - and ministers - is that the next stage of this process will prove impossible to resolve and the yellow line will indeed become the de facto border, opening the way to new settlements on Gazan land. Some hardliners would like Israel to annex the whole of the Gaza Strip.
While Netanyahu may have failed this time, his modus operandi is to probe enemies, allies, and agreements for weaknesses. Then to exploit them to extract maximum advantage. He believed he could violate the terms because no one would stand in the way. He wagered that Trump, ever erratic and distracted, would lose interest in Gaza.
HISTORIC TIMES
With 99% of Vote Counted, Kadima Wins 28 Seats, Labor on 20 | by Oui @BooMan on 28 Mar 2006 |
Shas set to take 13 seats, making it third largest faction in Knesset; Likud slumps to 11.
TEL AVIV (Haaretz) -- The election results showed center-left parties gaining a total of 63 seats, with Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's Kadima winning 28 seats, Labor of Peretz did well with 20 seats, and the Arab parties nine to ten seats.
The Likud, which had hoped to block a center-left coalition, dropped to 11 seats in this election, far below the figures the party had hoped and a far cry from the 38 seats it won under Ariel Sharon in 2003.
So many missed opportunities for peace ☮️
