Quietly Ending the Palestinian State: Trump and Israel’s Unspoken Alliance Against a Two-State Future

While much of the world clamors for a Palestinian state, a quiet but decisive shift is underway in Washington and Jerusalem — one that could bury the idea once and for all. This week, Israel announced it will resume building in the E1 corridor east of Jerusalem and near Maaleh Adumim, a move frozen for nearly two decades under U.S. pressure. The development would slice through any future Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem, making a contiguous Palestinian state nearly impossible.

A Long-Frozen Plan Unlocked
The E1 project, long considered a “red line” by the international community, had been shelved for fear of diplomatic backlash. But with the Trump administration’s State Department refusing to criticize the plan — instead calling a “stable West Bank” key to Israel’s security — the freeze has melted. Critics see this as the final nail in the coffin of the Oslo-era vision. Britain’s foreign secretary blasted the construction as a “flagrant breach of international law,” demanding it be stopped, but Jerusalem shows no sign of reversing course.

From Peace Process to Security Imperative
Post–October 7, Israeli public opinion has shifted dramatically. What was once sold as a peace plan — a two-state solution — is now widely seen as an existential threat. Hamas’s attack and the ongoing war in Gaza hardened the belief that relinquishing land means empowering enemies. In this climate, the idea of an independent Palestinian state east of Jerusalem has gone from unlikely to impossible.

Lindsey Graham’s Prophetic Warning
Into this volatile moment steps Senator Lindsey Graham, with rhetoric that merges politics with prophecy. Speaking at South Carolina’s 58th annual Silver Elephant Gala, Graham declared that if America “pulls the plug” on Israel, “God will pull the plug on us.” He praised Israel as “the most reliable friend we have in the Middle East” and insisted they are “surrounded by people who would cut their throats if they could.” Graham framed U.S. aid not merely as foreign policy, but as a divine mandate, warning of judgment should Washington waver.

Occupation Plans and Western Outrage
The senator’s remarks came just as Israel announced plans to occupy Gaza City — one of the last areas outside full IDF control — as part of a roadmap to “conclude the war” with Hamas. While Western governments and international organizations condemned the plan, President Trump said it was “pretty much up to Israel” whether to go ahead. Graham, a longtime hawk, has openly called for a “Tokyo and Berlin” approach: take Gaza by force and start over. His language signals Washington’s tacit acceptance that negotiations are dead — and that the two-state dream is over.

Globalist Dreams Collide with Biblical Reality
For decades, the UN, EU, and Arab League have pushed for a Palestinian state as part of a “rules-based” global order, positioning themselves as peace brokers while ignoring the spiritual dimensions of the land covenant God made with Israel. The E1 construction, Trump’s hands-off posture, and Israel’s tightening grip on Gaza mark a decisive break from that agenda. In prophetic terms, this moment echoes Zechariah’s warning that the nations which divide God’s land will face judgment.

A Coming Reckoning
As the world debates international law and humanitarian optics, Jerusalem and Washington are aligning on a more permanent reality — one that defies the architects of Oslo, frustrates the ambitions of the UN, and sets the stage for the next phase of Middle East prophecy. Whether history will remember this as a victory for sovereignty or the spark of a greater conflict may depend on which side of God’s covenant the nations choose to stand.
