THE SELL-OUT HAS ARRIVED

7 Tishrei 5786

We have come to the most dangerous stage of the War, where we are about to lose more through the "diplomacy" of our "friends" than we have through the battles with our worst enemies.

I'm assuming that the readers all know about Trump's "21-Step Peace Plan".

This is not just about Trump selling out Israel to the Qataris and the Saudis, it's about Netanyahu selling out his base and the entire country.

White House talks to focus on Israel’s freedom of action against Hamas, Qatar’s role in Gaza

First report: Jerusalem says Doha should have no role in the 'day after' the Gaza war but Washington rejects that view, and a compromise appears to have been reached; Israel also is demanding a declaration that would give it a mandate to remove threats from the Strip; mediators warn that would scuttle a deal; The biggest challenge: winning Hamas’ agreement to free the hostages 'all at once'

...Overnight an Israeli official said there had been “substantial progress” in talks on President Trump’s 21-point plan. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff met for many hours with the prime minister at the New York hotel where he is staying, and the sides bridged most of the remaining gaps. The official expressed optimism about the chances of closing a deal, saying: “There is a good atmosphere toward a conclusion. There has been substantial progress toward agreements.”

Tonight at 6 p.m. Israel time Netanyahu and Trump will meet at the White House in Washington to discuss, among other things, the 21-point plan. They will have a private meeting, share lunch and then hold a joint news conference. “The best indication of any understanding will be the news conference,” an Israeli official said.

After Trump's four "I will nots," a contingent of settlement leaders rushed to Washington to "give strength" to Netanyahu to resist capitulation on Judea and Samaria, but if the rumor is true that the PM wanted Trump, so-to-speak, to let him off the hook by forcefully forbidding annexation, their cause is already lost.

...The meeting between settlement leaders and Netanyahu lasted about two hours. Kushner and Witkoff passed by them as they left the prime minister’s meeting at the hotel. 

...Netanyahu told the delegation he would “raise the issue of sovereignty with the president,” but stressed that “we must navigate a complex reality.” He told them: “There is a sympathetic president; remember the Obama era when he said we would not build even one brick.” Settlement leaders told Netanyahu the chance to apply sovereignty was a “one-time opportunity,” in part in response to French President Emmanuel Macron’s initiative on Palestinian state recognition and the support it has drawn. They also said some left-leaning municipal leaders privately told them they support “the Samaria envelope,” but would not speak publicly.

Sara Netanyahu, the prime minister’s wife, also attended the meeting. Yesha leaders asked Netanyahu to tell Trump that “sovereignty must be applied.” Netanyahu said he would find a way to express that “Judea and Samaria are part of the Land of Israel.” Participants said Yesha officials left “very disturbed” that Netanyahu did not set a timetable for when he would apply sovereignty.

"For that day is great, with none like it, and it is a time of distress for Jacob, through which he shall be saved."  (Yirmiyahu 30.7)  Rashi identifies this as the "Day of the downfall of Gog."

One commentator explains that our salvation will emerge out of the trouble itself.  Historically, Yishmael was our foil to Eisav, so why should it change now?
