This is a disaster.
"Blair and former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner have been working on the Gaza file for months, while advising Witkoff." Huckabee is nowhere in sight in this planning committee!
This looks a lot like the original 2020 plan drafted by Kushner! Even the same enticements and rewards to the Muslim terrorists for good behaviour. Only this time the entire West Bank (Judea and Samaria) get thrown into the mix, torn from Israel's hands. Plus Gaza of course.
Here's just one point- #16 "Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza, and the IDF will gradually hand over territory it currently occupies, as the replacement security forces establish control and stability in the Strip."
This means that Israel has fought a 2 year long bloody war, that had significant opposition from Biden at the start, to get back land that it was pressured to give up by Bush jr. They are still working to clear out the terrorist hornet's nest inside it.
Ripping Gaza out of Israel's hands, AGAIN giving it right back to her enemies - hoping this time will be different.
Only THIS time, not only does Israel lose it's ability to go in and stop terrorist attacks coming from Gaza, they lose the "West Bank" aka Judea and Samaria. At least with the 2020 plan they were allowed to keep parts of Judea and Samaria.
Even George Bush Jr didn't ask that in 2005. He only gave away Gaza to their enemies. Hurricane Katrina. Land for peace. He didn't strip Israel of the rights to Judea and Samaria creating the 6 mile wide "Suicide Borders" that Obama wanted.
How is it that Obama's Suicide Borders have become part of Trump's new Peace Plan? Because if you give away the "west bank" that is what you are left with!
Some may argue that this isn't "giving away the west bank". Oh but it is! This removes Israels long held right (that it hasn't used) to eventually annex this land. They. may let the arabs live there, but the land itself actually belongs to Israel by rights from 1948 and 1967. That is the first step along the way towards giving that land away too- take away Israel's right to annex it.
Israel must now rely on the good will and ability of some unspecified international peacekeeping body inside Gaza like UNWRA was supposed to be, like the UN peacekeepers in Lebanon were supposed to be, like the UN peacekeepers in the Golan Heights were supposed to be?????
Because those situations all worked so well. UNWRA even had weapons depots and terror tunnels in the kindergartens and hospitals and schools helping out Hamas, hiring the "civilians" to guard against Hamas. UNWRA HELPED on Oct 6,'23. Lebanese and Golan Heights UN peacekeepers ran from the fight when Hezbollah or Syrian forces decided to take back the demilitarized zones, oh but they did have time to rape civilians (that was a problem with those UN peacekeepers, well documented).
This is an unmitigated disaster.
Israel desperately wants their hostages back so they are gambling and hoping and how on earth are they supposed to say no to Trump? He's at least given them more support than the last 2 presidents. And he is not above forcing Israel with whatever means he has on hand. Economic threats, threats to withhold military supplies, tariffs you name it, Trump can do it if he so chooses.
Even though Netanyahu knows the down side to all this, apparently the Israeli public is tired, exhausted, they want a break from war and they want their hostages back.
Trump wants peace or at the very least a Nobel peace prize
The world wants Israel to just shut up and go away and let the muslims have Israel's land to turn back into another Islamic hell hole like Syria, Iraq, Gaza, and Lebanon.
BUT GOD
The nations including the USA should tremble. This won't end well.
I do note that by the time of Ezek 38 Israel is resting IN PEACE AND SAFETY on the mountains of Israel (which is another name for JUDEA AND SAMARIA) which is currently called the West Bank.
No mention of the USA, Witkoff, Kushner, or most of the rest of the nations at the UN busy dividing the land and giving it to "palestine"- a nation that never was!
Israel survives!
