Peace In The Middle East
This blog is part 2 following on from the Prophetic Word Qatar Will Call Off The Dogs.
It explores Trump's peace plan in depth, barriers to peace and the missing components, without which, true peace cannot exist.
The Middle East and Israel's existence, significance and importance is a complex area of history which we will examine to a greater degree in another post, the focus here being peace.
For those who are awake, aware and consciously striving towards truth, peace is attainable for fleeting moments and sometimes even sustained periods, but as a collective, peace will only be achievable when we come face to face with our true selves, one another, and God.
This is why God gave us a Saviour, a Messiah, a lamb without blemish who modelled perfection, righteousness and holiness, and having killed all His prophets, we failed to recognise His Son, killing him too.
A 20 Point Peace Plan
The ceasefire constituted the "first phase" of Trump's 20 Point Peace Plan that the White House had unveiled the week prior, which came 2 days after the 2 year anniversary when 5,000 Hamas terrorists attacked southern Israel from Gaza, killing around 1,200 people at a music festival, injuring over 4,800 and taking 251 men, women and children hostage.
Israel valiantly fought the most fierce battle they have ever faced, on multiple fronts, in unprecedented terrain, responding with a military offensive that has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, levelling Gaza to rubble and killing a number of high profile leaders.
As Israel celebrated the return of their people, despite their dire condition, having been starved, tortured, beaten, denied proper medical care, kept underground and in some cases chained and alone, Hamas re-grouped and publicly executed their rivals and anti-Hamas civilians.
This plan has come in part as a result of global pressure from the West against Israel, who believe that Israel are the aggressors and Palestine the victims, because they have failed to understand the difference between resistance and barbarism and the global agenda of the totalitarian regime that is behind this.
Peace and a prosperous economy is not the goal of radical militant terrorist groups, who have been indoctrinated from the age of 5 years old and brought up to hate and kill Jews, Christians, westerners, homosexuals, pagans and apostates, and is therefore not in line with their ideology of wiping Israel off the map, taking over and ultimately, creating a global caliphate.
A Dangerous Precedent
Trump's plan lays the framework for Gaza becoming a de-radicalised terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours, redeveloped for the benefit of the people.
Whilst Hamas committed to releasing the remaining hostages, 20 of whom were alive and 28 dead (139 were released in previous exchanges, 8 of whom were dead), Israel had to release a total of 1,950 people, 250 who were serving a life-sentence plus 1,700 Gazan's who were detained after October 7th, 2023, resulting in an almost 1:200 ratio of vastly differing degrees.
This demonstrates the extreme levels that Israel will go to in order to get their people back, but follows a dangerous precedent that was set in 2011 when Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was released in exchange for 1,027 prisoners, 280 of whom were serving a life-sentence for planning and perpetrating attacks against Israel, one of whom was Yahya Sinwar.
During his time in prison, Sinwar continued to co-ordinate the military activities of Hamas, was their de-facto leader from 2017 to 2024 after his release and was considered one of the mastermind's behind the October 7th attack, the deadliest day for Israel since it's independence.
This is a clear demonstration of why peace is not possible with people who don't value human life, who don't share the same values and whose sole goal is to build an army that is hell bent on the destruction of Israel, the entire Western world and civilisation as a whole, as they force all who oppose them, to bend to their will through fear, domination and brutality.
Rewarding Terrorism
Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty and members who wish to leave will be provided safe passage to receiving countries, giving them a free pass, transferring the problem somewhere else and providing an opportunity to re-group.
Full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.
However, experience has shown that every time a Middle Eastern country has accepted Palestinian refugees, including Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, they have largely acted as a destabilising force and have learned that it is against their national security interests to let them in.
It is not reasonable or wise to reward gruesome, systemic and deep-rooted hatred, where perpetrators side with, salivate over, celebrate, enjoy and even livestream themselves killing, raping, beheading, torturing and blowing up innocent civilians including babies, children and old people, having carried out the most heinous crimes imaginable, with witnesses to the horrific aftermath testifying to having seen naked children that have been raped and then shot in the head, the twisted bodies of women with bleeding crotches and a grenade inside their vagina and cut genitalia strewn all over the place; anything less than life imprisonment is a mockery and a slap in the face to justice.
The majority of Gazans openly support Hamas, harbour tortured, starved and emaciated hostages, willingly sacrifice their children in the fire and their only goal is to be a martyr to the cause; they cannot be offered freedom and rewarded with an estimated $50 billion re-build, leading me to believe that this is either a gross miscarriage of justice, a deeply naïve misunderstanding of the enemy or an elaborate gamble with the intention of ending this despicable reign of terror once and for all.
Future Gaza
Trump's plan goes on to say that Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people.
This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the "Board of Peace," headed and chaired by President Trump, with other members and heads of State including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program and can securely and effectively take back control.
An economic development plan to rebuild and energise Gaza will be created by a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East, that will create jobs, opportunity and hope for future Gaza.
No one will be forced to leave, those who wish to will be free to leave and return and people will be encouraged to stay to build a better Gaza, again, offering phenomenal rewards for aligning with, supporting and perpetrating terror.
A Powerful Vision
Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form and all military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt.
There will be a process of de-militarisation under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program.
New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful co-existence with their neighbours, instead of channelling international donations into building an underground terror infrastructure, lining the leaders pockets to live a lavish and luxurious lifestyle in Qatar, whilst foot soldiers are paid to kill and take hostages for $10,000 and an apartment.
A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbours or its people, although Palestinians do not see their future in the same way, as they work towards their own traditions as opposed to the Western ideals that are being thrust upon them.
Whilst those in elite circles dreamed up this powerful vision, it is neither viable nor sustainable as Hamas officials say they did not agree to anything beyond the ceasefire and the return of hostages, having recognised that the leverage it had gained from holding the hostages was significantly dwindling.
Implementing Reforms
The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilisation Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza.
The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field.
This force will be the long-term internal security solution and the ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces.
A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalise.
This plan can only have been a carrot to show the world the true face of Hamas by offering them the best case scenario, using subversive tactics to try and implement reforms, because it's not possible to negotiate with terrorists and the role of government is to protect its citizens and to restrain evil by all means necessary.
A Phased Withdrawal
As the ISF establishes control and stability, Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza and the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on a phased approach that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the United States.
The IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.
In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.
This shows goodwill regardless of rejection or delays with the intention of continuing to work towards peace.
Any failure in delivering on what was mediated, agreed upon and guaranteed, will result in immediate advancement with the intention of ending things once and for all, as this will be the only option left and a fait accompli, with any chances of peace, through the extending of other nations hands, declared null and void as the fate of the Palestinians is sealed.
Changing Mindsets & Narratives
Should the ceasefire continue, an interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives by emphasising the benefits that can be derived from peace, which is achieved by the many Palestinians who live in Israel, love Israel and serve Israel.
While Gaza re-development advances and reforms are evident, the conditions may be in place for a credible pathway to self-determination and statehood, however this is something to be earned through legitimate means, which does not include violence, hostility and brutality, and is a privilege not a right.
The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.
In order for this framework to get this far, a miracle would have to take place, as the Palestinians are fighting what they believe to be a Holy War, for Allah, and they do not respect or recognise any other authority, seeking instead to intimidate and impose their ideologies onto others.
There is only one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of life, truth, righteousness and justice, the God of peace (Hebrews 13:20), who has written His law on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33), and He is not the same god as the god of the Palestinian radicals, who sends children to clear mine fields, has no regard for human life, forces all to bend to his will and decimates society, calling for death and jihad, in his name.
Victims of A False Ideology
If this had anything to do with Statehood and peaceful co-existence, this matter would have been settled decades ago when Palestians were offered a State multiple times, which they rejected in favour of taking the entire territory and wiping Israel out, which they have not been able to do.
Peaceful co-existence can only be achieved by people who follow a peaceful ideology, and it is abundantly clear that the Palestinian culture is the polar opposite and deep reforms would need to take place over time for this to be a possibility.
Radical Palestinians, together with all extremists who seek to dominate, destroy and disperse across the entire globe, are victims of a false ideology, which they are not allowed to question, as they are forced to learn entire doctrines by heart, on repeat, until it's deeply etched into their consciousness, creating a robotic neural pathway based on darkness and ignorance.
And it is this false ideology that people need to be freed of, bringing new meaning to the Free Palestine slogan; this is not about God, this is psychotic, out of control and needs to be ripped out at the root.
Interestingly, in Surah (chapter) 3:2-3 of the Quran, it says that there is no god but Allah and that He sent down the Torah and the Gospel in addition to the Quran, giving credence to other texts which contain other ways, meaning that there is hope.
A Return to God
We are living in extraordinary times where evil is being called good, the lie has become the truth and everything that is not of God is being exposed.
What we are experiencing is unprecedented, the entire world is being affected, there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide and we are all being confronted with the crumbling façade that we have been sheltering behind thinking that we are safe.
God is definitely moving and He is giving us a choice, it's up to us to make the right one, the consequences of which have far-reaching implications - light or dark, freedom or slavery, virtue or sin, good or evil, right or wrong, sheep or goat, wheat or chaff, creation or destruction, truth or lies, peace or violence, love or hate, victor or victim.
These are the two covenants that the bible speaks of in relation to the sons of Abraham - Ishmael (the descendants of the Arabs & Muslims) and Isaac (the descendants of the Israelites and the Jews), and is the reason why man has free will, ears to hear, eyes to see, a mind to reason and a heart to understand.
We are either Children of God, freedom and promise (an inheritance of eternal life with God) or sons and daughters of the devil, slavery and death (Galatians 4:21-31), and the covenant we follow is evident by our fruits.
Confusion, Distortion & Deception
The bible teaches that we must stand firm and not let ourselves be burdened by a yoke of slavery and that anyone who is trying to be justified by the law has been alienated from God and has fallen away from grace.
For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope, for neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value and the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
Paul tells us that we were running a good race and asks who cut in on us to keep us from obeying the truth, as that kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls us.
"A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough," the enemy is sowing seeds of confusion, distortion and deception in an attempt to bring people over to his side, stop us from fighting the good fight and claiming our inheritance.
Paul says that the one who is throwing us into confusion will have to pay the penalty and wished that the agitators would go the whole way and emasculate themselves. (Galatians 5:1-12)
Life By The Spirit
We were called to be free and must not use our freedom to indulge in the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love our neighbour as ourself."
If we bite and devour each other, watch out or we will be destroyed by each other.
We are to walk by the Spirit, and we will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
They are in conflict with each other, so that we are not to do whatever we want. But if we are led by the Spirit, we are not under the law. (Galatians 5:13-18)
The Fruit of The Spirit
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires and since we live by the Spirit, leet us keep in step with the Spirit. (Galatians 5:19-26)
Limitations of The Law
Laws have limitations and we are always guided to honour the Spirit of the law and not the letter.
The first laws in existence were given to Moses by God, to establish a covenant nation, not to create slavery, and mention is made to an eternal covenant of life and peace throughout the bible.
The law served multiple purposes: to provide for the Israelites well-being and order their society, to demonstrate the impossibility of earning salvation through works and to protect the lineage of the promised Messiah.
Mohammed came hundreds of years after Judaism and Christianity and whilst he preached peace in the beginning, his behaviour turned to violence, killing, raping women and children, enslaving and plundering.
This is the man who radical Muslims model their life on, in contrast to Jesus, a lamb without blemish or defect. (1 Peter 1:19)
The True Path To Peace
In these precarious times, where everything is upside down, inside out and back to front, we are called to examine the very foundations that we have built our spiritual house on.
If God exists, He is alive and calling us towards Him, to know Him and to know the truth.
This requires us to examine the very fabric of our soul, questioning everything we have been taught, everything we think we know, studying the true essence of scripture and developing a personal relationship where God's way and will for us is revealed.
The true way, the true path to peace and the truth behind all that is, does not come from pride, force or destruction, but is rooted in love, humility and the desire to draw closer to the divine.
The truth is written on our hearts and when love is at the centre, everything that is not love falls naturally away.
The Gift
Vengeance belongs to God, and whilst governments are in place to ensure order with very specific instructions, we are to turn away from evil and overcome evil with good.
As people's foundations are shaking, having built them on sand as opposed to rock, the cracks are becoming to form and a great cavern is opening up revealing to those who are able to discern, a God-shaped hole.
The gift in all this uncertainty is that people are being called to seek truth in a more genuine way - not on social media, not in the news and not in the narratives we are being told to believe.
We are being called to examine our own hearts and the hearts of the nations, peering beneath the veil and discovering our humanity, as if for the first time.
And for those who are willing, we share our journey, each in our own faith but united in the same longing for Light, knowing that God holds us all in the palm of His hands.
