United States President Donald Trump gave former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu his approval to annex parts of the West Bank in a letter leaked to the Jerusalem Post. The three-page letter, dated Jan. 26, 2020, detailed parts of Trumps deal of the century, which was announced two days later. The Jerusalem Post quoted Donald Trump, saying, [T]he United States will recognize Israeli sovereignty in those areas of the West Bank that my vision contemplates as being part of Israel. In exchange, Netanyahu would recognize the creation of a future Palestinian state.

Unsurprisingly, the letter didnt cause much of a reaction in the legacy news media. The few outlets that covered the story attempted to use it as a wedge between Trumps family and Benjamin Netanyahu. The letter appears to contradict Jared Kushners new memoir Breaking History: A White House Memoir. In it, he says Netanyahus announcement on January 29 to move forward with annexation in the coming days blindsided them. In response to Kushners book, a spokesman for Netanyahu said the allegations were utterly baseless.

The medias contempt for Netanyahu and President Trump is important to remember. That contempt drove their response to the deal of the century. In fact, a big reason why the peace deal ultimately failed was due to the medias concentrated barrage of misinformation and vitriol against the deal. At the time, the media claimed the deal allowed Israel to annex parts of the West Bank immediately and unconditionally. But that simply wasnt true. As this leaked letter proves, before Israel could annex the promised 30 percent, it had to agree to the creation of a Palestinian state. Thus, one of the key stipulations of the deal would be the realization of the Wests two-state solution.

One might argue that this seems like a small price to pay on Israels part. But consider these are the same people who have called for Israels destruction. To place an independent Palestinian state within Israels borders is no small ask. Imagine making New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia and Ohio their own country. Now imagine filling it with missiles and religious zealots whose stated holy mission was the destruction of America. That is the situation Israel faces right now.

The real problem for the media and the Wests liberal elite was the conditions the deal placed on the Palestinians. If the Palestinians agreed to reject terrorism, renounce any intention to destroy Israel, and make real tangible efforts toward peace with Israel, they would receive an independent state. The liberal media establishment believed Trump would never go through with a Palestinian state. Thus, they condemned the deal as a smokescreen for annexation.

If the Palestinians wanted peace with Israel and a state of their own, this deal really was the deal of the century. The problem was they had no intention to make peace with Israel. Egged on by the media, the Palestinians rejected the plan outright. We say a thousand times: No, no and no to the deal of the century, said Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

With all the negative press, backlash from the international community, and fractured Israeli opinion over annexation, Netanyahu and Trump allowed the deal to silently slip into the dust bin of history. Shortly thereafter, the much more publicly appealing Abraham Accords were announced and signed.

The hostile legacy media completely missed or ignored the real story regarding this leaked letter. This letter shows how willing Netanyahu and Trump were to create and accept a Palestinian state. That willingness may become more relevant in the coming months.

Consider that Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has been prophesying of Trumps return to the White House ever since Joe Biden stole the 2020 election. Couple that with the upcoming Israeli elections set for November 1. Netanyahu is still Israels most popular politician and stands a real chance to win back the prime ministers office.

So is the deal of the century really dead?

There are three reasons why this deal may pop up again. First, in 2020, one of Netanyahus key campaign promises was to exert Israeli sovereignty over more of the West Bank and Jordan. The deal of the century would have allowed him to do just that. Second, Trump and Netanyahu have never officially renounced or scrapped the deal. Third, neither man is the type to give up so easily on anything. Trump built his foreign-policy legacy on the Middle East peace deals he helped foster. When he returns to office, is it hard to imagine him trying to build on his previous successes?

Mr. Flurry warned against this deal in his Trumpet article Will the Trump Peace Plan Bring Peace to Israel?, writing: If implemented, this plan puts a Palestinian state on the doorstep of Jerusalem and surrounding almost every Jewish settlement in the West Bank. It doesnt create two states side by side with one continuous border: It is a series of roads, tunnels and overpasses connecting islands of Jewish communities in the West Bank, each surrounded by a historically hostile people. Such an arrangement wouldnt bring peace. It would actually create a dangerous wound for the Jews!

Mr. Flurry was very deliberate in his choice of words because he was citing a prophecy in Hosea 5:13, which reads, When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. As Mr. Flurry has explained, the Jewish state of Israel today is Judah in Bible prophecy, and his wound is the Israeli-Arab peace process. The real wound is spiritual: a lack of faith in God, Mr. Flurry wrote. The Jews keep trying to heal themselves by making peace pacts. They were strong when they trusted God.

Whether its Donald Trumps deal of the century or another peace deal, the efforts to make peace with the Palestinians are prophesied to fail catastrophically! Mr. Flurry wrote. But all is not lost, there will be peace in the Middle East! When all of mans peace efforts fail catastrophically, it will trigger the events leading up to the return of Jesus Christ. When He returns, Christ will force mankind to finally have real peace. And He will start by bringing peace to the most violent and blood-soaked city in human history: Jerusalem.

Trump spoke at the conference Saturday night, hinting at a 2024 run. His speech was the keynote on the second day of the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. Trump's speech followed one Friday night by DeSantis, who's considered along with Trump one of the foremost potential GOP 2024 contenders.

Teasing his own possible 2024 run, Trump said Saturday that he won the 2016 election, falsely claimed he won the 2020 election, and said, "now we may just have to do it again."

"If I stayed home, if I announced that I was not going to run for office, the persecution of Donald Trump would immediately stop," Trump also said later in the speech. "But that's what they want me to do. And you know what? There's no chance I do that."

Trump dominates 2024 GOP presidential nomination straw poll at Turning ...

Donald J. Trump called a top Republican in the State Legislature in Wisconsin in recent days to lobby for a measure that would overturn his 2020 loss in the state to President Biden, the latest signal that the former president remains undaunted by congressional and criminal investigations into his election meddling.

Mr. Trumps advisers said the former president saw an opening to press the Republican official, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, after a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling prohibited the use of most drop boxes for voters returning absentee ballots.

Since drop boxes were used during the 2020 election, Mr. Trump argued, the state should be able to invalidate the results of that election. He pushed Mr. Vos to support a resolution that would retract the states 10 electoral votes cast for Mr. Biden. Mr. Trumps advisers said the phone call took place on July 9 the day after the court issued its opinion.

There is no mechanism in Wisconsin law to rescind the states electoral votes, nor does the United States Constitution allow for a states presidential election to be overturned after Congress has accepted the results. Still, Mr. Trump has persisted.

Mr. Vos has repeatedly told Mr. Trump and his allies that decertifying the former presidents loss would violate the states Constitution.

Mr. Trump has a different opinion, Mr. Vos told a television station in Milwaukee, WISN-TV, which first reported the phone call on Tuesday. Mr. Vos did not respond to messages on Wednesday.

The call is only the latest indication that Mr. Trump remains fixated on nullifying the 2020 presidential contest 18 months after Mr. Biden replaced him in the White House. He has continued to prioritize his lies that he won the last election as he aims to influence the next one, signaling to his supporters that undermining the 2020 election should be the predominant issue for the party.

His actions come as a prosecutor in Georgia is gathering evidence into whether Mr. Trump violated laws in his attempt to overturn results in the state. Mr. Trumps own team was already concerned about potential legal consequences from the deluge of devastating testimony revealed by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

And Mr. Trump may have created more legal headaches for himself when he phoned a witness in the House committees investigation after a hearing on June 29. Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, a Republican serving as the panels vice chairwoman, has said information about Mr. Trumps call to the witness has been turned over to the Justice Department.

In the past 10 days, Mr. Trump has endorsed candidates in Arizona and Oklahoma based in part on their support for his attempts to overturn the election or his criticisms of the House investigation.

We won in 2020, Mr. Trump said in a statement on Tuesday reiterating his endorsement of David Farnsworth for a State Senate seat in Arizona. Mr. Farnsworth is running against Rusty Bowers, who is the Republican speaker of the Arizona House and who has been critical of the former presidents attempts to overturn the election. In the statement, Mr. Trump called Mr. Bowers a weak and pathetic Republican who didnt have the guts to do anything about the rigged and stolen election.

Mr. Trump has never stopped looking for ways to undo the results of the 2020 election, and his desire to keep talking about his false claims of widespread fraud has intensified as investigations into his conduct have become more focused.

In Arizona, a review of the 2020 vote failed to change the outcome and instead affirmed the result. Mr. Trumps allies have come up empty in their bid to overturn the results in Georgia. In recent months, his allies have instead focused their attention on Wisconsin, where Mr. Vos has tried to accommodate Mr. Trumps increasing demands about the 2020 election for more than a year.

When Mr. Trump called for an audit of the states votes days ahead of the Republican Party of Wisconsins 2021 state convention, Mr. Vos used the gathering to announce he would appoint a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, Michael Gableman, to investigate the election.

Mr. Vos repeatedly blocked efforts to hold a vote on decertification. Still, Mr. Vos met with leading proponents of decertification, something they held up as significant progress in their effort to undo the 2020 results.

Mr. Trump and his allies have since turned on Mr. Vos. The former president has used his social media website to press Mr. Vos to act, and he released a statement on Tuesday suggesting that his supporters back Mr. Voss primary opponent if he fails to act.

Mr. Vos is facing a spirited but underfunded primary challenger, Adam Steen, whose campaign hinges on the notion that Mr. Vos is not sufficiently loyal to Mr. Trump because he has blocked the decertification effort.

And while Mr. Vos has not seen eye to eye with Mr. Trump on the election, his allies know the former president still holds a powerful grip on the party.

An outside group supporting Mr. Vos in the primary recently mailed a flyer to Wisconsin Republicans with a picture of Mr. Vos and Mr. Trump sitting next to each other on a plane and smiling.

Leading the fight for election integrity! the flyer reads.

Trump Urged Legislator to Overturn His 2020 Defeat in Wisconsin - The ...

In each of the public hearings held by the House select committee investigating Jan. 6, a few standout moments have captured the public's attention. Thursday's prime-time hearing was no different, with a clip of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley immediately taking over social media.

While previous hearingsexplored the rioters, Trump's speech at the Ellipse preceding the riot, and other aspects of his actions after the November 2020 election, the eighth hearing held this summer focused on the 187 minutes of then-President Donald Trump's inaction while rioters descended on the Capitol. Committee vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney said there could be more hearings this fall.

Twitter users quickly set the clip of Hawley running to a variety of soundtracks but there were a few other moments in the committee's hearing that also made a mark.

A White House employee told President Trump about the riot "as soon as he returned" to the Oval Office from his speech at the Ellipse, said Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria but no records exist of what happened for much of that afternoon. Luria said the Presidential Daily Diary was silent; the chief White House photographer was told "no photographs" and the official White House call logs don't show Trump "receiving or placing a call" until almost 7 p.m.

Luria said Trump went to a private dining room next to the Oval Office and stayed there from 1:25 p.m. until after 4 p.m. Witnesses told the committee that Trump sat at the head of the table, facing a television hanging on the wall.

"We know from the employee that the TV was tuned to Fox News all afternoon," Luria said, adding that other witnesses confirmed Trump was in the dining room with the TV on during that time.

The committee's 3D graphic of the West Wing highlighted the location of the dining room, complete with footage from Fox News on the TV.

After the riot began, Vice President Mike Pence retreated from the Senate chamber to his office in the Capitol. His security detail debated their next move, heard during the hearing as the committee played recordings of their radio transmissions. But that wasn't all that was happening.

Members of Pence's detail, in fear for their own lives, began making calls to family members to say goodbye, said an anonymous security official in recorded testimony.

"The members of the VP detail at this time were starting to fear for their own lives," the anonymous official testified. "There were a lot of there was a lot of yelling, a lot of I don't know a lot of very personal calls over the radio," the person testified. "So it was disturbing. I don't like talking about it, but there were calls to say good-bye to family members and so forth. It was getting for whatever the reason was on the ground, the VP detail thought that this was about to get very ugly."

The committee shared never-before-seen raw footage of Trump on Jan. 7 recording a video message condemning the violence on Jan. 6. In it, he argues with his daughter Ivanka, who helps him edit his remarks in real-time, and slams the podium and refuses to say parts of the speech.

"I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack yesterday, and to those who broke the law, you will pay," Trump said in the footage. "You do not represent our movement, you do not represent our country, and if you broke the law can't say that. I already said you will pay "

"But this election is now over. Congress has certified the results," he continued, before stopping to argue with parts of the prepared text. "I don't want to say the election's over. I just want to say Congress has certified the results without saying the election's over."

The committee showed a famous photograph of Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, raising his fist toward Trump's supporters gathered outside the Capitol early in the day on Jan. 6.

That gesture stuck with an unnamed Capitol Police officer, Luria said. It riled up the crowd, the officer told the committee, "And it bothered her greatly because he was doing it in a safe space, protected by the officers and the barriers," Luria said of the officer.

But it was Hawley's later flight from the Capitol after the mob entered illustrated with a clip from security footage of him running across a hallway, then replayed in slow motion before a different clip showed him running down the stairs that became one of the most talked-about moments of the night. Later clips shared on Twitter showed people in attendance at the committee hearing reacting with laughter.

The committee also revealed texts from Trump campaign officials Tim Murtagh, Trump's director of communications, and one of his deputies, Matthew Wolking, criticizing the president's treatment of the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died on Jan. 7, 2021 after being injured in the riot.

"Also shitty not to have even acknowledged the death of the Capitol Police officer," Murtagh wrote to Wolking.

Wolking responded, "That is enraging to me. Everything he said about supporting law enforcement was a lie."

Murtagh replied, "You know what this is, of course. If he acknowledged the dead cop, he'd be implicitly faulting the mob. And he won't do that, because they're his people. And he would also be close to acknowledging that what he lit at the rally got out of control. No way he acknowledges something that could ultimately be called his fault. No way."
