Netanyahu Pits Trump Against the UN Over Jerusalem
Friday, May 26, 2017 | Israel Today Staff
When US President Donald Trump visited the Western Wall sporting a kippa (yarmulka), it was a clear affirmation that the site is as the Jews say - Judaism's holiest shrine.
And, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently pointed out, that was a clear repudiation of the position recently taken by the United Nations.
During a Knesset session marking the 50th anniversary of Israel's liberation of the eastern side of Jerusalem, including the Western Wall, Netanyahu stated:
Trump's visit "destroyed UNESCO’s propaganda and lies."
Netanyahu further insisted that with the city now reunited under Jewish rule, it will never again be divided.
"The Temple Mount and the Western Wall will forever remain under Israeli sovereignty," said the Israeli leader.
What that means for Trump's new Mideast peace push is yet to be seen.
Until now, the Palestinian leadership has categorically refused to accept any agreement that doesn't include Israel's surrender of eastern Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
Will the "Trump Effect" be enough to make the Palestinians back down?

There is a book in the Bible about a man named Job. He was a blameless and upright man who had experienced a great loss in every area of his life. He went through a horrendous trial for nine months. The end of the story tells us that Job was rewarded with double of everything that he lost. Job said at the end of this trying time that he shall come forth as gold because he knew that he didn't do anything to deserve that injustice. He also understood that God's plan for his life could not be thwarted or cancelled. When God gives you a promise, it will come to pass no matter what your circumstances look like in the natural.
