Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Parashat Chayei Sarah
Abraham accepted Ephron’s terms. Abraham paid out to Ephron the money that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites—four hundred shekels of silver at the going merchants’ rate. So Ephron’s land in Machpelah, near Mamre—the field with its cave and all the trees anywhere within the confines of that field—passed to Abraham as his possession, in the presence of the Hittites, of all who entered the gate of his town.
And then Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field of Machpelah, facing Mamre—now Hebron—in the land of Canaan. Thus the field with its cave passed from the Hittites to Abraham, as a burial site.The whole world recognizes the document which is our title deed to this land. Whoever opposes it, opposes the Almighty Himself. Woe to that person, whoever he may be!
Israeli and Palestinian officials expect President Trump to unveil a Mideast peace proposal by early next year. What nobody knows yet is the shape it will take or if the proposal will be based on creating a Palestinian state, which has been U.S. policy for the last 20 years. In the meantime, the two sides are on their best behavior to avoid being singled out by Trump as an obstructionist party.
Sound smart: The U.S. "peace team" working on the issue is relatively small and very discreet — just five people, including senior adviser Jared Kushner and special envoy Jason Greenblatt. The entire process is being run out of the White House, with the State Department and other agencies providing advice and support. According to U.S. officials, Trump is the driving force on this issue and is personally involved. Israeli officials say they hear Trump is pushing his team to have a proposal soon.
In the last nine months Trump has met Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Palestinian President Abbas separately three times each to discuss his peace initiative. His special envoy Jason Greenblatt has been constantly shuttling between Jerusalem, Ramallah and Arab capitals. (Continued here.)
Is that supposed to look like Trump's face?
ReplyDeleteIt would appear so.
ReplyDeleteEven at a peace deal, trump is so arrogant he needs his face to be on the map...
ReplyDeleteFunny is it not?
It is also ironic how kushner is slightly related to trump and how the neo-nazis and white nationalists want him dead and he is not even Zionist only Jewish; it proves their jew-hating genetics clearly

Dear Tomer Devorah, The ONLY basis for REAL peace in the Middle East (and anywhere) is for the Nations of the World to honor God's Land, Torah and People Covenants with Israel. Any other plans will lead, as they have ALWAYS led, to global disaster. Shavua Tov, Lowell
