President Donald Trump has unveiled a sweeping 21-point plan to end the Gaza war — but its most explosive element is a pledge that Israel will not annex the West Bank and that it will freeze new Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, the biblical heartland of Israel.

The announcement, made September 23 on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, came during a high-stakes meeting with leaders from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Arab and Muslim leaders hailed the proposal as “fruitful” and “important,” while Israel’s right-wing base is bracing for what they view as a betrayal of God’s covenant land.

Key Elements of Trump’s 21-Point Plan
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, outlining the framework at the Concordia Summit in New York, called it the “Trump 21-Point Plan for Peace in the Middle East and Gaza.” Sources familiar with the confidential talks revealed several critical provisions:

Immediate Release of Hostages: A comprehensive exchange to free all remaining Israeli captives.
Ceasefire Agreement: A halt to IDF operations in Gaza paired with a stop to Hamas rocket fire.
Post-War Governance: Gaza to be handed over to a civilian Palestinian administration backed by Arab states, with Hamas excluded.
Phased Israeli Withdrawal: IDF pullback tied to international security guarantees.
Joint Security Force: A regional coalition of Palestinian Authority police, Arab troops, and possibly international observers.
Reconstruction Aid: Billions in Arab and Muslim funding to rebuild Gaza under U.S. coordination.
Freeze on Annexation and Settlements: A binding U.S. pledge that Israel will not annex Judea and Samaria (labeled “the West Bank”) and will halt expansion of Jewish communities there.
Expansion of the Abraham Accords: Tying normalization to Gaza stabilization and broader counterterror cooperation.

Other points include refugee issues, dispute resolution mechanisms, and UN-backed provisions for Palestinian rights, reportedly aligning in part with July’s Saudi-French-led New York Declaration — a two-state blueprint opposed by Israel.

Arab Leaders Celebrate, Israel Hesitates
Arab states praised Trump’s initiative, with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi calling it a “foundation for peace.” Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas signaled readiness to cooperate with Trump, France, and the UN, though Hamas remains defiant. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hailed the talks as “fruitful.”

For Netanyahu, however, the plan poses a political crisis. With Israeli elections looming and far-right partners demanding annexation, Trump’s “red line” risks alienating a key base. Senior Israeli officials privately described the plan as a “framework” rather than an imposition, but the freeze on settlements cuts directly against years of quiet expansion in Judea and Samaria.

Globalist Agenda and Prophetic Consequences
Behind the diplomatic smiles lies the deeper reality: Trump’s plan aligns squarely with the globalist agenda to divide Israel’s land in the name of “peace.” Arab leaders, the EU, and the UN see this as a step toward a two-state solution, which Scripture warns will trigger divine judgment.

Joel 3:2 declares that God will judge the nations for scattering Israel and dividing His land. Zechariah 12 warns that Jerusalem will become a “burdensome stone” for all nations who try to lift it. By blocking annexation and freezing Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, America risks crossing a prophetic red line — playing with fire in God’s covenant land.

The Bottom Line
Trump’s 21-point plan may win applause in Arab capitals and in globalist boardrooms, but it places the United States in direct opposition to Israel’s biblical inheritance. Judea and Samaria are not “occupied Palestinian territory” — they are the heartland of Israel, promised by God Himself.

Trump may believe he is building peace, but in reality he is stepping into a divine conflict that no American president can control. Peace at the expense of God’s covenant land is no peace at all — it is the prelude to judgment.
