T. Belman. Yesha Council Chairman and Jordan Valley Council head David Elhayani today told Kan he had heard from a senior Likud official that the Americans have set a new condition for their consent to Israeli sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria: A “broad national consensus.” “They mean Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi,” Elhayani clarified.
Members of Chabad Rabbinical High Court visit Hevron, where community leaders show them detailed maps of the US plan and note its dangers.
By Hezki Baruch, INN
Members of the Chabad Rabbinical High Court visited the city of Hevron last night and met with the heads of the local Jewish community, who presented them with the map of the “Deal of the Century” plan and noted the dangers lurking therein.
Following the tour, a joint plan of action was prepared, the goal of which is massive pressure against the plan in two arenas: the US and Israel.
Heads of the Jewish community in Hevron said, “Those who remember the struggles during the Oslo Accords, the establishment of left-wing governments and the Disengagement plan know that Chabad has been at the head of the fight, sometimes behind the scenes and sometimes on the front.”
Following the tour, the Chabad rabbinical court is scheduled to convene and discuss the political situation. After the court’s decision, the Chabad youth will set to work.
Settlement officials who participated in the meeting with the rabbis said, “In this struggle the hearts of the people will be needed, and there is nothing like the Chabad movement in managing to get into people’s hearts.”
At this point, Chabad is likely to focus on a US-targeted campaign to influence Trump’s administration. Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump make sure to come with their children every Saturday to a Chabad synagogue in Washington, and are considered supporters and friends of the movement, such that Chabad has large influence in this arena.
A Chabad official told Arutz Sheva: “The Lubavitcher Rebbe warned that the very talk of retreat from the enemy endangers the nation that dwells in Zion, even before talking about the dangers that stem from the plan, and therefore Chabad will have to act to prevent danger to the lives of millions of Jews in the land of Israel.”

@ Bear Klein:
Yes no more backroom deals foisted on the public. That’s how Oslo was put over.
I do not know if there are new conditions or just bullshit pretending to be leaked.
Israel should present the US their map that Israel feels it needs.
Then have a Knesset vote on it. Hope the US approves. Get Bennett & Shaked to buy into the map. Involve so they will not kill it! When they right up the bill it should be stipulated that Israel reserves the right to apply sovereignty. To make the map work Israel may need “annex” some of Area B.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
“keep building” THAT IS THE KEY! This whole “peace plan” situation exists ONLY because of the failure of Israel to settle Judea and Samaria due to the nearly constant settlement construction freezes for the last 15 years, AND the plan demands another 4-year long Jewish settlement construction freeze, and a permanent expansion freeze for the Jewish “enclaves” after all is said and done!
All this while the Arabs keep building (financed by the EU) – and no one will stop them.
@ Reader:
If that’s the case, I oppose it. This is exhausting. Better status quo indefinitely and keep building. Time is on Israel’s side. There is no rush and permission isn’t needed from anybody. The US has opposed every non-retreat oriented step that Israel has ever taken, not to mention the EU and the UN. They won’t cut off trade. They can’t afford to. Plus, there’s China, India, and Africa, as well as the rebellious Eastern European states. Reckless statements of principle, even open-ended ones are a luxury Israel can ill afford. Rabin never went as far as the people acting in his name did in making concessions to the Muslim terrorists who mislabel themselves pals. This is why I voted for Huckabee.
Thank God for them joining the effort because It looks like the Trump plan is designed to start pushing Israel back into the ”three sausages” shape suggested by the original UN partition map:
