Annexation- its going to happen

Sooner or later some or all parts of Judea and Samaria will be annexed to the state of Israel.
It is just a matter of time until that happens.
In the next few weeks the first stage of this will happen in the MAALEH ADUMIM area.
There will be screaming and yelling form different places but this will happen because something has to happen and there is a majority in the knesset for this.
There might be a waiting period to possibly include the Ariel and Gush Eztion area.
There is a lot of noise of whats going on but that won't stop the annexation from happening.
The problems will arise in the implementation of the initial annexation process but there will be intensive work done to deal with the new reality.
The smoother the first steps go the faster the other steps will go.
Annexation of Judea and Samaria.
There is no other way...

Jason Greenblatt, Trumps special envoy

Only in Israel does the special envoy have more connection to Judaism then the Jewish leaders of the only Jewish country.He clearly has Israels best interest at heart and will try to avoid conflict while helping his own people.
Jason Greenblat has visited Israel and spoken to the prime minister and head of Palestinian authority.
He spent five hours with Bibi and almost as much time with Abu Mazen.
It is all a big charade that is taking place.
No one seriously thinks that direct negotiations without preconditions will take place anytime soon.
It wont happen.
The head of the PA is clearly worried that American money that the PA survives on will be stopped.
He is playing ball and hoping to survive a few more months.
All know that the conditions for the two state solution are dead but they continue to pretend business as usual.
For the hundredth time or maybe the thousandth time there never will be another Arab state west of the Jordan river.
Even in the impossible scenario that Abu Mazen would agree to a demilitarized state in parts of Judea and Samaria he would be killed.
He will eventually die anyway as he is sick and a heavy smoker.
It's all a good game.
Dangerous game.

What now ?

As things look now the next step seems to be the annexing of the C area that borders Jerusalem.
This will happen in next few weeks as a law will be introduced in the Knesset.
The dilemma as o what exactly should be annexed at first will be severe.
There is a large consensus as to the need to annex but little as to how this annexing should be done.
There needs to be a four year plan that takes advantage of the Trump administration.
These laws will all be challenged in the supreme court of Israel which of late has become more conservative towards laws of this kind.
The process has to start now as these type of annexations are complicated and will take time to implement.
The American embassy will be moved to Jerusalem in the next half year as President Trump will not sign off to delay the moving the way former presidents have done.
He truly would like to make the move but has been told this might endanger lives of Americans around the world.
It will happen nonetheless.
We need to sit back and wait to see how all this develops.
