Smotrich Trashes Trump Plan, Arabs Back It

Smotrich Trashes Trump Plan, Arabs Back It Israel’s Minister of Finance Smotrich commented negatively on Trump’s Gaza peace plan — “After October 7 and two years of heroic sacrifice, returning to the old Oslo-era delusions — outsourcing our security to others, trading real battlefield gains for polished diplomatic theater, re-empowering Qatar as a central broker, and training a Palestinian police — is a tragic, backward step. “It risks repeating the same mistakes, forcing our children to fight in Gaza again.” A source close to Hamas said of the Palestinian group’s thoughts on yesterday’s plan release: Trump’s plan is completely biased to Israel and imposes impossible conditions that aim to eliminate the group. Another Palestinian official told Reuters: What Trump has proposed is the full adoption of all Israeli conditions, which do not grant the Palestinian people or the residents of Gaza any legitimate rights. Qatar says it is “satisfied” with security guarantees obtained after the call with Trump and Netanyahu. Trump’s envoy Witkoff is expected to step down at year’s end, as a Gaza ceasefire deal nears finalization. Source: The Times of Israel Israeli influencers are painting the plan in a good light — good for Israel — as a ‘test’ if Hamas wants peace, and suggesting Hamas will not accept the plan, and continue the war. — Tsionizm Our Take: This is not at all surprising, and shouldn’t be surprising to this audience— as we have been learning about Bezalel Smotrich for nearly two years. Let’s take a look at this Truth Social post from President Trump: Interesting that President Trump includes both the commentary from Bezalel Smotrich as well as the commentary from Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz. Here is what Trump had to say about Benny Gantz in a December 2021 interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid. It really feels like Trump is telling us that he expects Netanyahu’s Security Cabinet to reject this deal, or somehow subvert it. Smotrich — who is a formally trained rabbi — has become the spokesman for the hyper-zealot Ultra-Orthodox movement in Israel, and this movement seeks to establish a secular kingdom of Jewish Supremacy that extends from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Syria. This kingdom is actually a recreation of the Babylonian Empire. The Babylonian (technically Neo-Babylonian) Empire besieged Jerusalem in 587 BC, destroys Solomon’s Temple (the First Jewish Temple), and enslaves the Jews. Why exactly are these zealots so keen to recreate the empire that enslaved their purported ancestors? Is it possible that these people are not who they actually claim to be? Is it possible that we have all been deceived?
