As reported in The Media Line, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and Axios, a recent joint security summit included the Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization Hussein al-Sheikh; the head of the Palestinian General Intelligence Service, Majed Faraj; and the diplomatic advisor to President Mahmoud Abbas, Majdi Al-Khalidi. From the Israeli side, Israel’s National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi and Shin Bet intelligence service chief Ronen Bar attended. Also in attendance were the heads of intelligence of Jordan and Egypt. The negotiations were overseen by the US Assistant Secretary of State Barbara Leaf and coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa in the Biden administration, Brett McGurk.

The stated goal of the summit was to boost Israeli-Palestinian security cooperation and solidify understandings that already have been reached regarding the steps that the two sides would take to de-escalate tensions.

According to Glick, the training, outlined by Lieutenant General Michael R. Fenzel, US security coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority, provides for the military training of 5,000 Palestinians in counterterrorism and commando tactics. At the end of the training, the Palestinian officers will bring with them 5,000 rifles and additional “anti-terror equipment” to Palestinian cities and towns inside Samaria and in the areas surrounding Hebron. …

The program, originally set up by President George W. Bush, has already trained several thousand Palestinians in four-month courses at a facility in Jordan already used by US-backed Iraqi forces. The program aims at establishing a force of nearly 50,000 trained Palestinian soldiers. …

The new program proposed by the Biden administration is distinctly unlike the original plan in that explicitly provides “guns and bullets” and the training to use them, creating a special force of armed PA security forces. …

In the article in JNS, Glick cited a report by Israel’s Channel 14 as outlining the US plan to train PA security forces in Jordan. Glick pointed out the fatal flaw in the plan; the direct involvement of PA security personnel in terrorist attacks targeting Israelis.

“During the course of the Palestinian terror war 20 years ago, U.S.-trained P.A. forces murdered 26 IDF soldiers in 2002 alone,” Glick wrote. “The Palestinians learned how to use cell phones as remote detonation devices from their American trainers. Over the years, they have put that knowledge to use not to fight terror but to kill Israelis in terrorist attacks. …

Dr. Mordechai Kedar acknowledged that the plan to give commando training to PA forces was in place and ready to begin. He explained that this was bad for Israel since the PA security forces play an active role in terrorism. He explained that the intention of the Biden administration was focused on the Palestinian Authority.

“This is just another example of how the Americans are trying to resuscitate the Palestinian Authority,” Dr. Kedar said. …

According to Dr. Kedar, the Americans want to make sure that they are supporting the winner.

“It is just another example of the Americans meddling in the Middle East without understanding the culture or the situation,” he said.

“Israel was forced to allow it,” Dr. Kedar added. “Netanyahu chose not to fight this. He is already out of favor with the Biden administration.” …

The Zionist Organization of America condemned the US plan “in the strongest possible terms”, emphasizing that the US-led military intervention is an explicit violation of Article IV.3 of the 1995 Oslo Accords II. …

Father, Your Word says Your people perish for lack of knowledge… there is so much more intellectual knowledge now more than ever and yet the world is in horrible shape.
It is SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE that is lacking.
Jesus said on the Cross, “forgive them Father, they don’t know what they are doing.”…
Palestinians THINK they know what they are doing is right… Father, how can they know better if You don’t open their eyes to the SPIRITUAL TRUTH? Please open their eyes so that they can know what they need to know so they won’t perish.
In Yeshua’s Holy Name.

Father, the Palestinian Authority is Israel’s enemy. Forgive us for arming their enemy. Forgive our not being Israel’s friend when they are your people. Open our eyes and give us the desire to pray for Israel. Close down the enemy and bless your people.

    God will hold our country accountable for the actions of our leaders. The Old Testament confirms this as the people of Israel had wicked kings and Judah some righteous kings. God would have us pray and ask forgiveness for our turning from God just as Daniel did.

“Netanyahu chose not to fight this. He is already out of favor with the Biden administration.”

favor: benevolence, grace, mercy

Matthew 24:37,36; Hebrews 12: 10; Micah 6:8; Mark 13:27

Dear Heavenly Father, it is Your favor I seek this morning, favor for Israel. Just as it was in the days of Noah, human wickedness is rampant upon the earth. Jesus tells us when the He returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. But He also says, it is not for us to know the times or dates that You have established. And I believe You discipline us for our good, so that we may share in Your holiness. This is my prayer Lord, that Your discipline would be good for Israel and for the U.S., that the corrupt government we suffer under would be impotent. I pray it will please You to raise up men and women who will act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with You. For those who will not, remove them. I ask this in the Name of our returning Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen

    Yes Lord, our nation has been hijacked by domestic terrorists in high offices. We understand that You Lord install unrighteous leaders in response to unrighteous, self-willed hearts of your children in any nation. So Lord, we ask that you revive our hearts and our land toward you again. Cast out and utterly destroy those enemies of Israel and America, who seek to destroy and enslave all of us. “Let not our enemies triumph over us”

My heart is breaking both for the nation of Israel, the apple of God’s eye, that we are in effect poking with our blatant encouragement and training of her enemies. Derek Prince warned in the early 1990’s that the USA was ‘following the same policy as Britain followed in 1947 and 48, which is not open war, but clever political manipulation to frustrate the purposes of God.’ the result of those policies was that Britain declined and the British empire fell apart. The US is on a similar path if we are not already there. Father forgive us here in the United States for we know not what we do. What I asked you would strengthen Benjamin Netanyahu to stand against every ungodly policy from any Nation including the US. Not frustrate this plan help us oh God to see things the way that you see them and to bless your people and not to divide up your land.
