The Deal of The Century

By Daymond Duck Published on: February 9, 2020

This article expresses my understanding on Pres. Trump’s proposed “Deal of the Century” (new name is “Peace to Prosperity”) because it is so important.

One, “Peace to Prosperity” is a proposal to be negotiated, not a final treaty (meaning there will likely be additions, deletions and changes to the document; perhaps, but not necessarily, some type of 7-year requirement).

Two, “Peace to Prosperity” is very much about the peace and safety of Israel and the prosperity of the Palestinians (gives control of all military forces, air space, borders, etc. to Israel).

Three, it enlarges and moves Israel one step closer to the borders that God established (but is still far short of what God gave to Israel).

Four, it recognizes Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel. (It rejects the PA claim to Jerusalem, makes Jerusalem a cup of trembling and burdensome stone for the world, but Israel will eventually get Jerusalem and this proposal says Jerusalem belongs to Israel.)

Five, it calls for a two-state solution on the Promised Land that will clearly divide the Land of Israel, but it requires the Palestinians to meet conditions that they say they will never accept. (There won’t be two states unless the Palestinians reach an agreement with Israel, but it will divide Israel, further divide the U.S. and eventually bring on the Battle of Armageddon, if they establish two states.)

Six, among other things, to become a Palestinian state, the PA will be required to:

Recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish nation.

Root out and get rid of the terrorists in PA-controlled areas.

Stop paying terrorists to kill Israelis.

Allow freedom of speech in PA-controlled areas.

Abandon the “right of return” for millions of Palestinians.

Abandon the PA demand for their own military.

Accept Israeli responsibility for the national security of both states.

Abandon the PA claims to the Jordan River Valley.

Accept Jewish sovereignty over Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Seven, among other things, the PA will receive:

A Palestinian state.

Their own government with limited sovereignty.

A capital near the new U.S. embassy in a protected suburb of East Jerusalem called Abu Dis.

Approximately twice as much of the Promised Land as they now occupy.

A $50 billion financial aid package to create one million good jobs in 10 years (upgrade their electric, water and waste treatment facilities; build new hospitals, health clinics, schools, tourist sites, etc.).

Corridors (tunnels, bridges, etc.) to connect PA areas in the Promised Land.

Eight, Israel must halt new settlement construction for four years, but Israel is free to start annexing existing settlements in Judea and Samaria as soon as Israel accepts the proposal. (The tender nation of Israel can put forth leaves immediately.)

Nine, the PA must negotiate a deal within four years or this offer will be withdrawn and it could be the last chance for the PA to have a Palestinian state. (Some Jews and Christians think the PA refusal to negotiate is a good thing. No agreement means no division of the Promised Land under the “Deal of the Century.”)

Ten, the U.S. and Israel will sign an agreement that says a military attack on Israel will be considered to be a military attack on the U.S. (This goes to the heart of peace and safety issue.)

Eleven, Jordan will retain responsibility for the Temple Mount, but the U.S. is asking Jordan to open all Holy Sites to all faiths. (Jordan fears that this will open the door for a rebuilt Temple, and some Christian prophecy teachers believe a rebuilt Temple will be allowed by the covenant that the Antichrist will confirm.)

Twelve, some Israelis and Christians are responding negatively to this proposal because God warned the world not to divide the land of Israel, but others say God gave Israel the Golan Heights, then East Jerusalem, now the Jordan River Valley, most of Judea and Samaria, etc. (They are rejoicing and praising God because they believe He is returning the land to the Jews in parcels—this parcel is the Biblical heartland of Israel—and God will eventually give Israel all of the land that He promised. If He wants to do it in steps, so be it. It is fulfilling Bible prophecy.)

Thirteen, Prime Min. Netanyahu and his opponent in the upcoming Mar. 2, 2020, Israeli election, Benny Gantz, are very positive about Pres. Trump’s proposal, and both are anxious to start implementing it. (Israel must officially accept it first.)

Fourteen, the PA, Turkey, Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah quickly rejected the plan. (These are nations and groups that will go to war with Israel in the latter years and latter days. We are seeing wars and rumors of wars, not peace and safety.)

The Ayatollah Khamenei said “Jerusalem must not remain in the hands of the Jews,” and he will “seek to unite other nations to confront the great conspiracy.”

Fifteen, ambassadors from 3 Arab nations attended the public release of the “Deal of the Century,” 4 Arab nations immediately welcomed Pres. Trump’s proposal and expressed support for all efforts to reach a deal that is fair to the Palestinians. (They have also urged the PA to return to the negotiating table.)

Sixteen, some Palestinians living in areas designated for transfer to a PA state are objecting to the transfer and expressed a desire to remain under Israeli control.

Seventeen, PA Chairman Abbas angrily requested an emergency meeting with the Arab League; there was division over the issue, but, as a whole, the group called Pres. Trump’s proposal unfair to the Palestinians, and they rejected it. (This could be a good thing if it delays the division of Israel.)

Joel Rosenberg wrote that sources in Arab countries tell him the Arabs are upset with Trump’s proposal, but they are also upset with Abbas and his rejection of every effort to settle the issue. (They want this to lead to an agreement.)

They may even seek a way to establish peace with Israel that does not include Mr. Abbas and the PA. (The angel Gabriel said the covenant will be with many, but he didn’t say the covenant will include the PA.)

In conclusion, the “Deal of the Century” may go nowhere, but it may trigger prophetic wars, quickly expand the borders of Israel, increase the security and prosperity of Israel, restart the peace negotiations and eventually lead to a covenant that will allow a rebuilt Temple.

One writer (Israel Kasnett, Jan. 29, 2020, JNS) said the “Deal of the Century” is:

The first time in history that the U.S. put Israel’s concerns above Palestinian concerns (peace and safety of Israel).

The first time the U.S. said the 1949 or 1967 lines are no longer valid and Israel does not have to return to those lines (expands the borders of Israel).

The first time the U.S. presented a map (contradicts the covenant God made with Abraham, etc.).

The first time the U.S. said the settlements are not illegal, they are not an obstacle to peace, and Israel does not have to evacuate any of them.

The first time the U.S. said that Israel has a legal and historical right to Judea and Samaria. (There will be Jews in Judea when the Abomination of Desolation defiles the Holy Place.)

The first time the U.S. said that Israel can declare sovereignty over the settlements.

The first time the U.S. said Israel can declare sovereignty over the Jordan Valley.

The “Deal of the Century” is unlike any previous proposal.

It does not give Israel everything God requires, but it is falling in line with what the Bible says will happen; and if it is not a major step toward the fulfillment of God’s Word, I am badly fooled.

All praise, glory and honor to God the Father, and to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to the Holy Spirit.

They are amazing and their Word is amazing.

Watch live: US set to break with tradition and open embassy in Jerusalem

Watch live: http://x.tribtv.com/namp/player/embed.html?station=wdaf&feed=1&auto=yes

JERUSALEM — The Trump administration is set to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem Monday, formally breaking from decades of established American policy and international practice in a move that US officials say will create greater regional stability.

Critics say the decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital could make a region already struggling with four ongoing conflicts all the more combustible. And they argue it marks the end of the US role as an “honest broker” in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

“In the long run, we’re convinced that this decision creates an opportunity and a platform to proceed with a peace process on the basis of realities rather than fantasies,” David Friedman, the US ambassador to Israel, told reporters Friday. “We’re fairly optimistic that this decision will ultimately create greater stability rather than less.”

The event celebrating the opening of the embassy is expected to begin at 9 a.m ET (4 p.m. local time). A pair of controversial Christian evangelical leaders, Pastors John Hagee and Robert Jeffress, will be on hand.

Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer who now directs the Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institution, said that with tensions between Iran and Israel escalating in Syria, President Donald Trump is now “only a few days away from throwing another can of gasoline on the fire by moving the embassy to Jerusalem. It’s very dangerous.”

A campaign promise

Trump announced the decision to move the embassy in December, when he formally recognized the city as the capital of Israel. It marked the fulfillment of a campaign promise he made to the pro-Israel group American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

“As the President stated on December 6, 2017, the historic opening of our embassy recognizes the reality that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and the seat of its government,” the State Department said in a statement.

The Embassy move is contentious for Palestinians, who hope to claim part of the city as their future capital, and for many in the Arab world, as it is home to some of the holiest sites in Islam. The city is also home to deeply holy sites for Jews and Christians. The issue has been so thorny that international negotiators had left the question of Jerusalem to the final stages of any peace deal.

In 1995, Congress passed a law requiring America to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but every president since then has declined to make the move, citing national security interests.

The State Department noted that the opening will take place on the 70th anniversary of American recognition of the State of Israel, the day of its founding and a day that Palestinians refer to as “the Catastrophe,” as hundreds of thousands fled their homes.

Friedman is set to preside over the dedication ceremony. He’ll be backed by a delegation that includes Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Senior adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, senior adviser and first daughter Ivanka Trump, and Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt.

Trump will also appear in a video message to be played at the opening.

US officials say the move represents the longstanding reality that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital.

It also reflects a new Middle East reality, where ongoing wars in Syria and Iraq, and conflict in Yemen are uniting Israeli, American and Gulf Arabs around a central geopolitical focus: containing and constraining Iran.

In this scenario, the age-old tensions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are fading, Trump administration officials say, and the embassy move is no longer the flashpoint it might have been. Instead, they argue it can become grounds for more realistic talks and ultimately a settlement.

A “sea change has been coming over a period of years,” said Victoria Coates, senior director for Strategic Assessment at the National Security Council, speaking of the closeness between Gulf countries and Israel.

She pointed to a tweet from the foreign minister of Bahrain saying that Israel has a right to defend itself in the face of Iranian missiles. “I think it shows you that the President is absolutely doing the right thing here,” Coates said of the embassy move. “It is not upsetting any regional balance; in fact, his leadership is what’s bringing the region together.”

Leadership versus the people

But Diana Buttu, a Ramallah-based analyst and former advisor to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said the US might be making a mistake and conflating the region’s leadership with its streets.

“I think the leadership is different from the people,” Buttu said, speaking to CNN from Ramallah. “On a people level, the support is there because it’s a just cause.”

“The question is not what the regional reaction is, it is what is legal and what is right,” Buttu said. The embassy move, Buttu said, was “making it worse because it’s going to embolden the extreme right in Israel.” She said the move also rewarded Israel for gains it made with the military.

Trump is “sending a message that its OK to acquire territory by force,” Buttu said, calling that a “very dangerous message in this region.”

In making what officials describe as a deliberate 180-degree policy shift from the previous administration, the Trump White House believes that by making the embassy move, they’re empowering Israel to deal from a position of strength, make concessions and create peace.

Asked if Israel had offered any concessions in return for gaining the long-held goal of US recognition of Jerusalem, Friedman said there was “no give and take with Israel with regard to this decision.”

“The Israelis are obviously desirous of this, and they’ve requested this, and they’re very happy by it,” Friedman said. “But the decision was made because it was viewed to be in the best interests of the United States and something the President had promised during the campaign.”

US officials say that they remain committed to helping forge a lasting Israeli-Palestinian peace. In its statement on the embassy move, the State Department said, “we are not taking a position on final status issues, including the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, nor on the resolution of contested borders.”

But Aaron David Miller, a vice president at the Wilson Center, former Mideast negotiator for Democratic and Republican administrations, and CNN contributor, says that, “it’s hard to accept this argument.”

“Far from taking it off the table, Jerusalem — the most volatile issue in the negotiations — is now front and center at a time when neither of the parties are willing or able to deal with it,” Miller wrote for CNN. “If and when the Trump peace plan is put on the table, the focal point will be what it says about Jerusalem.”

And unless that peace plan reflects established language that reflects Palestinian aspirations, “including statehood with East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital,” Miller wrote, “it’s hard to see the Jerusalem issue as anything but a continuing source of political impasse in negotiations.”

“And that ensures virtually no deal and the likelihood of violence over Jerusalem in the future,” he said.

Carter Forgets Life Under His Rule

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), March 27, 2018.--Slamming 71-year-President Donald Trump for replacing 55-year-old Gen. H.R. McMaster with 69-year-old former U.N. Amb. John Bolton, 93-year-old former President Jimmy Carter finds an immediate audience with the anti-Trump media. Quoted chapter-and-verse as long as he trashes Trump, the media finds great credibility in Jimmy Carter, a man that brought double-digit inflation, a 21% Prime Interest Rate and one of the most humiliating military boondoggles in U.S. history. How the media forgets life under Jimmy Carter, looking desperately to discredit anything Trump. Trump picked Bolton March 22 to bring heft to his foreign policy team before he faces North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un in nuclear disarmament talks, potentially avoiding war on the Korean Peninsula. Instead of recognizing Bolton’s vast foreign policy experience, Carter whips up the media’s anti-Trump narrative.

No one in the media doubts Bolton’s foreign policy education and experience. What they question are his well-reasoned hard-line views on North Korea, Russia and the Middle East. Bolton has served four Republican administrations, including former Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Carter’s one to talk about the “worst decision” of Trump’s presidency. Carter relied on his National Security Adiser Zbibniew Brzezinski when he decided the April 24, 1980 on Operation Eagles Claw to rescue 52 American hostages when Iranian radicals sacked the U.S. embassy in Tehran Nov. 4, 1979. Carter’s scientist Defense Secretary Harold Brown hatched the plan ending in disaster, where eight American soldiers lost their lives when a U.S. Bluebird helicopter crashed into a EC-130 transport plane, a great disgrace to the U.S. military.

Knowing nothing about Bolton’s background, training and plans as National Security Adviser, Carter finds himself a stooge of the anti-Trump media. “I have been concerned at some of the things he’s decided. I think his last choice for national security adviser was very ill-advised. I think John Bolton has been the worst mistake he’s made,” Carter told CBS News. Bolton hasn’t started his job, let alone shared the advice he’d give to President Trump. But one area where Bolton and Carter disagree most is on Israel. Bolton understood firsthand the national security value of Israel in a post Sept. 11 world. Carter had no problem embracing the terrorist policies of Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] founder Yasser Arafat. Carter agreed with Arafat that Palestinians had a right to use terror as a legitimate tactic of resistance against what they regarded as Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.

Carter’s claim-to-fame was the 1979 Camp David Accords, pressuring Israel to give back the Sinai Peninsula in exchange for a peace treaty with Egypt. Carter made zero progress on reconciling differences with Israel and the PLO. Yet Carter wrote his Sept. 18, 2007 anti-Semitic diatribe, “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid.” Eight years after Sept. 11, where Carter watched Palestinians dance-in-the-streets celebrating Osama bin Laden’s attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Carter doesn’t comprehend the geo-political significance of Israel in the U.S. war on terror. Only after George W. Bush became president, did his foreign policy team figure out that Arafat was a terrorist by anyone’s definition. Yet Carter’s 2007 book tried to tar-and-feather Israel for practicing apartheid, the only democratic state in the Middle East. Carter has no criticism for other repressive Arab Mideast states.

Carter knows that as national security adviser, Bolton won’t set U.S. foreign or defense policy. That task is left to Trump’s Secretary of State and Defense Secretary to advise the president on matters of foreign policy and defense. National Security advisers have limited roles, unless given expanded portfolios like Nixon’s National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger or former President Obama’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice. Under Obama, Rice was given the job of “unmasking” Trump campaign officials to help Hillary get elected president. Never before has any National Security Adviser used the nation’s national security apparatus, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA] Court, to wiretap political opponents. Bolton won’t be doing anything close to what Rice did under Obama. Carter’s attack on Bolton shows he’s way over his head opining at age 93.

Carter’s the last one to advise Trump on Cabinet or other appointments, given his track record on domestic and foreign policy. By the time he left office Jan. 20, 1981, U.S. foreign and domestic policy was in shambles. It wasn’t until Reagan took his oath, that 52 U.S. hostages lifted off from Tehran to Germany. Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khamenei wanted no part of a confrontation with Reagan, having played Carter for a fool during the Iran Hostage Crisis. Like Regan’s foreign policy team, that included Bolton, Trump’s trying to repeat Reagan’s mantra of “peace-through-strength.” Carter’s weakness as a leader led U.S. adversaries to take advantage. Now that the U.S. faces an implacable nuclear threat from North Korea, Trump needs the toughest foreign policy team possible to force Kim to disarm. Carter has his opinions but he should show more presidential restraint.
