With annexation, Bibi [Netanyahu] risked near-unanimous condemnation at the United Nations. And if he went forward unilaterally, there was no guarantee that our administration would block the international sanctions against Israel that might follow.
Kushner wrote in his new book, trying to convince Netanyahu to make concessions to the Palestinians along with extending sovereignty
The Jerusalem Post wrote, ‘In June 2020, four months after the Trump administration presented its “Vision for Peace” between Israel and with the Palestinians, American and Israeli teams had prepared a detailed map of where Israel would extend its sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. Then-ambassador to Israel David Friedman sought former president Donald Trump’s approval to proceed, while Kushner felt that Netanyahu was not prepared to make sufficient concessions.’
If he went forward unilaterally, there was no guarantee that our administration would block the international sanctions against Israel that might follow.
Kushner said
Kushner writes that in 2017 Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “assured me that if I could get a map out of Israel ‘we will be flexible and everything else will be easy.'” Howbeit Kushner asserted that the map itself was not sufficient enough, and writes that the Trump administration was “struggling to convince Bibi [Netanyahu], a master negotiator, to agree to a compromise that would give tangible life improvements to the Palestinians.”
I told Friedman that I wasn’t going to bring the annexation issue to the president unless we had a fair proposal that advanced our peace plan.
Kushner wrote
The Post, however, included details to the story that Kushner did not provide: ‘In Friedman’s memoir Sledgehammer, released earlier this year, he said that he thought Netanyahu agreeing to a four-year period in which Israel refrain from any construction outside of the zones detailed on the map “was the essential peace to the puzzle.” Kushner did not mention that arrangement in the excerpt provided to The Jerusalem Post.‘
According to Kushner’s accounts, Friedman and himself met with Trump, and Kushner asked Trump if he was prepared to support annexation. Trump purportedly said that he already done enough for Israel and had other more pressing matters to attend to, though he was willing to humor other opinions of those present in the room. At the end of the meeting Trump told then-secretary of state Mike Pompeo to “do what you think is best.” Freidman and Pompeo expressed their readiness to take action, but Kushner claimed to hold “inner turmoil about the implications” of the move. Ultimately Pompeo and Freidman decided to go through with annexation.
I thought we could do it in a way that minimized backlash from the Arab world, but we had to ensure that the Israelis made concessions to materially improve the lives of the Palestinian people.
Kushner wrote
Then-special representative for international negotiations Avi Berkowitz and Freidman then told Netanyahu that Israel would only be permitted to annex areas with existing settlements, while exchanging greater civil control over some areas in which the Palestinians lived. Two days after this meeting on June 25th of that year, Netanyahu backed out.
Our message resonated: Bibi wasn’t getting annexation for free. Israel needed to give something in return.
Kushner wrote
‘Trump would likely publicly speak out against annexation if Netanyahu did not compromise,’ the Post added.
Friedman asserted that Netanyahu was “hanging on a thread by Trump,” and “there was no guarantee that our administration would block the international sanctions against Israel that might follow” unilateral annexation, Kushner wrote.
The Jerusalem Post concluded their article, writing:
Ironically, Kushner’s first major plunge into the waters of international relations came when president-elect Trump’s team tried to deal with the fallout of the Obama administration deciding not to block a UN resolution that was much less severe than sanctions.
Kushner called the Obama administration’s decision not to block UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which stated that Israeli claims in the West Bank had “no legal validity” and were “a flagrant violation of international law,” an “unprecedented abandonment of Israel” that would threaten future peace efforts.
In a chapter of his book focused mostly on Steve Bannon’s chaotic tenure as an adviser to Trump, Kushner described their intensive efforts to change the tide. Despite a 48-hour marathon of phone calls convincing other countries to change their votes, the resolution passed 14-0.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. [7] Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. [8] For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.Psalm 122:6-8
None of this should really come too much as of a surprise, as The WinePress reported on what all the “prophecy watching” and “end-times dynamos” refused to touch with a 10-mile-long pole: that Trump’s supposed peace plan would have resulted in 85%-90% of the West Bank of Jerusalem being chopped up, and given to the Palestinian State; to which, at the time that underreported news circulated, Israelis were not happy to say the least:
The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
Proverbs 21:1
The Lord has this all under control, and ultimately it is he that controls these leaders when he needs to. The Lord clearly, as described in different prophecies, has brought the Jews (some of them) back to their land in unbelief, and more on the way soon enough, as the Western world collapses.
[1] For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, [2] I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.Joel 3:1-2
When you mess with Israel, you get God’s judgment. That does NOT mean you have to support and condone their abominations and blasphemies: I certainly don’t, but I also understand what the Lord said he’d do, and is, and will continue to do; and I’d prefer to bless Israel and trust God’s word, and not curse and despise them.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
The WinePress needs your support! If God has laid it on your heart to want to contribute, please prayerfully consider donating to this ministry. If you cannot gift a monetary donation, then please donate your fervent prayers to keep this ministry going! Thank you and may God bless you.
I repented for voting for Trump, and I will repent again because I want to be safe. I have a lot and I mean A LOT of repenting to do. I do not want my name blotted out and I want my name written in the Book of Life and know it!
Republicans are stupid, I should know I used to be one, and democrats are stupid as well as the most vile and evil, and republicans are also evil.
Any wonder why COVID-19 came to America and what was going on in China was once laughed at by Americans, now those same exact Americans are masking up and all paranoid about a fake non-isolated virus and are lining up for their death shots and death boosters as well.
If you’re saved then you are eternally secure. You are in the book of life and nothing can take you out of it, in this dispensation.
Thank you, Jacob! You and Bryan are heroes and I want to defend you and other true KJB believers as well as be part of them!
If I could, I’d build for you and Bryan your own military and Israel is our ally!
Can you imagine your own Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard for you and Bryan and others and they’re also search and rescue for those who desire the truth and salivation of the King James Bible.
I know I’m thinking crazy, but still.
No, I can’t. Andrew, you need to stop adulating and emulating me. You have referred to Bryan and myself as “superheroes” on several occasions, even after I told you not to do that the first time you said that to me, plus I have seen others in the comment section tell you likewise; along with this estranged vision you have dreamed up.
Ephesians 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. [8] Unto me, who am less than the LEAST of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; [9] And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Galatians 1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; [22] And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: [23] But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. [24] And they GLORIFIED GOD in me.
I am honored and humbled to know that I have been a great help to you, and am thankful for your support of this ministry, but I beseech you to seriously stop with the man-worship. I am a red-blooded man with many faults, not much to look up to if you ask me. It’s one thing “to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake” (1 Thes 5:13), but what you are doing is too much. I have followed Bryan’s work for a little over eight years now, and I cannot think of one time I have ever dreamed of him, and I have learned a ton and watched his videos intently for many years. Consider what I am saying.
Proverbs 29:26 Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD. (compare with Revelation 1:5-6).
Yes sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful or irreverent. I repent.
It’s just when you’re raised in cult buildings and being led astray for so many years, including that pentecostal cult nun who’s dead and in Hell now I might add praise the Lord for that, and when you find true believers that are being used by the true Jesus, you have this special joy and admiration for them.
I understand that God gets the glory for you and Bryan, I guess I got carried away, and I’m sorry if I disrespected you or Bryan. I don’t recall you telling me the first time I must’ve missed it, but I take your word for it.
Also Jacob I forgot to tell you:
Not only I have a mom who is a pentecostal pastor, but I have a dad who is a Muslim! He’s from Syria, Latakia, Syria.
So, you can imagine the emotional and spiritual anguish I’m in.
I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing..

What is man that God should plead with them for them…. i don’t think I will ever understand that. It fascinates me and overwhelms me all within the same thought.
Jacob so people who go to hell now (before the mark ) will they have a chance to get into heaven at the great white throne judgement ? Or do they stay in hell and then go to the lake of fire and brimstone?
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. [13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. [14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. [15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Once someone is in hell, that’s it: no chance for redemption. Perhaps they’ll get a brief glimpse of heaven as they stand before the Lord, but then they are off to the lake of fire for eternity.
I am profiting (400$ to 500$/hr )online from my workstation. A month ago I GOT chek of about 30k$, this online work is basic and direct, zcd don’t need to go OFFICE, Its home online activity. By then this work opportunity is fbegin your work….★★

None of those Old Testament prophecies refer to our modern era.
First of all, in the New Testament era old Jerusalem doesn’t have the importance it had in the Old Testament. This is clearly pointed out in the conversation between Christ and the Samaritan woman: “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father…God is Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John, 4)
The Book of Joel refers to the Maccabean wars against the Greek armies and their multiethnic allies – the wars were won by the Israelites. Since in the last verses of the book of Joel a reference is made to the Temple in Jerusalem (“the House of the Lord”) it means the prophecy cannot refer to any event postdating 70 AD, the date of the destruction of the Temple, much less to any current development.
Furthermore, the Israel of God includes only those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and their God. Israelite ancestry alone does not make one part of God’s Israel. Christ clearly told the Pharisees they were not His sheep (John 10 – 26) and He also pointed out in other places (John 8) that their Israelite ancestry was meaningless because of their disbelief. This is stated again in Romans 9: ” ..they are not all Israel, which are of Israel, neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children”. That’s because Israel, the people of God, exist only through Christ.
In the New Testament era believers are told to seek heavenly Jerusalem. In Galatians 4, old earthly Jerusalem and its subjects who reject Christ are likened to Abraham’s illegitimate children whereas those who accept Christ are the rightful heirs and their mother is “Jerusalem which is above”.
The Evangelical obsession with old, physical Jerusalem indicates that Evangelicals are carnal beings who don’t really understand what the New Testament is about.
As for Trump’s family and his in-laws, I prefer not to believe anything they claim and if they happen to say something true or anything that I agree with I will simply ignore them because at this point they are not to be trusted even when they’re telling the truth.
A liar doesn’t always lie, he will tell the truth when it’s convenient. So I’m not even going consider anything Trump and his advisers have to say. They don’t exist for me anymore.
