Donald Trump has threatened to cut Israel adrift if they annex the West Bank in an extraordinary escalation as the President demands peace in the Middle East. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu oppose annexation – but right-wing factions in Jerusalem see an invasion of the territory as a means to blocking Palestinian statehood. 'Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened,' Trump told Time Magazine for a cover story released Thursday following the President's historic peace deal in Gaza. 'It won't happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries.' JD...

President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the Gaza war has not only won support from Israel, but also from the Arab and Muslim world — and from the Palestinian Authority, which has opposed his plans in the past. The 20-point plan, as Breitbart News has noted, would fulfill Israel’s goals of freeing the remaining hostages, as well as disarming Hamas and removing it from power. It also offers the prospect of a Palestinian state — if Hamas complies with the plan and the Palestinian Authority agrees to sweeping reforms of its policies and anti-Israel culture. If Hamas does not agree,...

"I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. It's not going to happen," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "There's been enough. It's time to stop now," he said. France, Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal are among the countries that have recognized a Palestinian state in the last few days, in part to help keep the possibility of a two-state solution alive. Israel has condemned the moves. Trump made the comments as Netanyahu was arriving in New York to deliver an address to the United Nations on Friday. Netanyahu's office said...

President Trump said he would not allow Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, saying “there’s been enough.” “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. Not going to happen,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. “There’s been enough. It’s time to stop now.” Reports said Wednesday that he promised Arab and Muslim leaders during a meeting Tuesday at the United Nations during the annual General Assembly that he won’t allow the Jewish state to make that move. Saudi Arabia has moved to increase pressure on Israel, saying...

President Trump will not allow Israel to impose sovereignty over the biblical heartland of Israel. It’s not the West Bank - it’s Judea and Samaria. It’s where Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the stories of most of the Old Testament took place. I am not surprised! The pressure from Saudi Arabia Turkey Qatar Egypt France UK and Canada was too much for him.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Sunday that “[t]here will be no Palestinian state west of the Jordan River” after several countries recognized one, despite the war and the lack of signs of statehood. Netanyahu said in a statement (translated from Hebrew by the Government Press Office): I have a clear message to those leaders who are recognizing a Palestinian state after the horrendous October 7 massacre: You are rewarding terror with an enormous prize. And I have another message for you: It’s not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River....

Peter Baum @baum_p: Palestinians steal the cultures of others because they have no culture of their own. They even call themselves Palestinians even though they speak Arabic though there is no letter ‘P’ in Arabic . So in Arabic the pronunciation is Filastin which means Philistine - or uncouth uncultured heathens……seems appropriate.

Tucker Carlson recently sat down with Mother Agapia, the “Nun from Palestine” and sister of ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, to talk about Christian persecution in the Holy Land. But as the interview unfolds, it actually reveals a completely different — and much darker — reality about life for Christians in “Palestine,” Judea, and Samaria.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Sunday that he would ask Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to propose “immediate operational steps” to collapse the Palestinian Authority. “I will appeal to the prime minister to bring to the upcoming Cabinet meeting immediate operational steps to bring down the Palestinian Authority,” the minister wrote on X. “This should be the response to terrorist Abu Mazen’s fantasies about a ‘Palestinian state’—the crushing of the terrorist authority he heads,” Ben-Gvir added, using P.A. chief Mahmoud Abbas’s kunya, or Arabic nickname. Ben-Gvir was responding to a report by London-based Al-Araby Al-Jadeed claiming that Abbas...

The Trump administration says it boycotted a United Nations conference promoting the two-state solution on Monday, calling the event a “publicity stunt” and an “insult.” “This week, the U.N. will serve as host to an unproductive and ill-timed conference on the two-state solution in New York City,” State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said in a statement. “This is a publicity stunt that comes in the middle of delicate diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.” Bruce said the conference will “prolong the war, embolden Hamas, and reward its obstruction and undermine real-world efforts to achieve peace.” Instead of participating, Bruce said...

If there is no emotional connection to their own children, how could there ever be a desire for peace, coexistence, and mutual respect for the Israeli people? Speaking to the children of Jenin in their native Arabic language, N12 Israeli television reporter Ohad Hemo confirmed what we’ve all known for a long time: the realization of why there can never be peace between Israel and the so-called Palestinians who live in Samaria. With special permission from the IDF, Hemo made his way through the rubble, which was once home to 14,000 people who lived in the Jenin Palestinian refugee camp,...

Claudia Tenney is absolutely right. The Kingdom of Jordan renamed Judea and Samaria the West Bank in 1950. The idea was to obscure the historic Jewish connection to the land. The U.S. should not legitimize this revisionism. However, this bill will die in the Senate or on Old Joe’s desk, as the Democrats don’t want to antagonize their far-left base more than they’re antagonized already. “House bill calls for US to refer officially to ‘Judea, Samaria,’ not ‘West Bank,’” JNS, March 3, 2024: A new bill in Congress aims to stress the holiness and ancient Jewish history of the Holy...

On December 6, 2024, Senator Tom Cotton (Republican of Arkansas) introduced a bill in the Senate to replace “West Bank” in all federal documents with “Judea and Samaria,” noting, “The Jewish people’s legal and historic rights to Judea and Samaria go back thousands of years. The US should stop using the politically charged term West Bank to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel.” His bill matches a House bill introduced earlier this year by Representatives Claudia Tenney, Randy Weber, and Anthony D’Esposito. Yes, they are the Jewish names but also the world’s. In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly...

A rare collection of ancient coins was discovered last week by Israeli researchers, who called the find an "archaeological Hanukkah miracle." The coins are more than 2,000 years old and believed to belong to King Alexander Jannaeus, the second ruler of the Hasmonean dynasty that presided over Judea in the final centuries leading up to the common era, according to the University of Haifa in Israel. Archaeologists found the hoard of about 160 of the coins during ongoing excavations in the Jordan Valley, which runs between the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the eastern border of Jordan. The project is headed...

The Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet foils a major Iranian attack against the Jewish State, which planned on heavily equipping Palestinian terrorists within Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank. How will Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu respond to this aggression from the regime in Tehran. Meanwhile, the IDF destroys a Hezbollah precision guided missile factory in Beirut. Watch now.

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a resolution Wednesday that effectively bars Israel from self-defense in any of the territory it captured in a defensive war in 1967, including in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem. The resolution refers to a ruling earlier this year by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) — led by a judge from Lebanon, which is in a state of war with Israel — in which it declared Israel’s presence in Gaza, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), and eastern Jerusalem to be illegal under international law. (Israel angrily rejected the ruling, with Prime Minister...

Eygi was not a "human rights activist", because the organization she was a member of is not a human rights organization. Eygi came here as part of the activities of the 'International Solidarity Movement' (hereinafter ISM). The ISM organization claims that it advocates "non-violent resistance", but the exact opposite is true. Over the past 20 years, the organization and its members have published messages of support for actions such as violent riots on the border fence in Gaza; Throwing stones and shooting attacks against Israeli civilians; and recognition of the Palestinians' right to "resist in any way they choose", including...

[Bird's eye video of several individuals in an alleyway getting blowed up real good.] The IDF on Tuesday afternoon confirmed earlier reports that the head of Hamas' military branch in Tulkarem was eliminated in a strike. "Overnight, the IDF, ISA, and Israeli Border Police conducted a joint counterterrorism operation in the Tulkarem area, as part of a series of over 50 counterterrorism operations in the area since the beginning of the war," a joint IDF and ISA announcement read. "The soldiers struck a number of armed terrorists in exchanges of fire and dismantled numerous explosives that had been planted underneath...
