(LifeSiteNews) — A report issued in the Israeli media claims that President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to bring the hostilities in Gaza to a rapid end and expand the Abraham accords.
Israel Hayom, a free daily newspaper owned by the family of the late Zionist mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, reported on Thursday that in a phone call directly following the U.S. military bombing of Iran on Monday, the two leaders agreed the war in Gaza would conclude within two weeks.
According to their sources, the region will then be governed by the UAE and Egypt in place of Hamas, the leaders of which would be exiled. Additionally, Israeli hostages still being held by Palestinian militant groups would gain their freedom.
However, Arab allied nations have maintained that they will not participate in the rehabilitation of Gaza apart from the region being turned over for management to the West Bank’s Palestinian Authority as a preparation for a two-state solution demanded under international law, though Netanyahu flatly rejects considering this option.
Additionally, there is no indication from Hamas leaders that they would accept these apparent terms.
Also joining Trump and Netanyahu on this call, according to the report, were U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Rodn Dermer.
Further terms discussed on the call include the potential transfer of Gaza survivors who wish to escape their current plight and emigrate to other unnamed countries, while the new government of Syria and Saudi Arabia would recognize Israel and establish diplomatic ties with the expectation that other Arabs and Muslims will then do the same.
For its part, Israel would declare its willingness “for future Palestinian conflict resolution under the ‘two states’ concept, contingent upon the Palestinian Authority reforms.”
Strangely, following the expression of such support, the apparent deal includes a U.S. recognition of “limited Israeli sovereignty implementation in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank),” suggesting the negation of Palestinian sovereignty over its internationally recognized territory, a constituent aspect of statehood.
Consistent with the requirements of international law, Arab nations have long maintained their willingness to recognize Israel and guarantee its security with the ending of its illegal occupation of internationally recognized Palestinian territory and the allowance of a Palestinian state to emerge on these lands.
Such a solution is supported by the overwhelming number of national governments of the world and the Catholic Church as witnessed to by the unanimous and constant testimony of the bishops in the region and the Holy See over decades.
