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.

Judea and Samaria- Whats next?
There needs to be annexation of greater Jerusalem very soon.
This will be MAALEH ADUMIM, GIVAT ZEEV, and GUSH EZTION.
These three areas border Jerusalem and will be first to be annexed.
It will add about 60% of Judea and Samaria to Israel ad about 300,000 Jews.
About 70,000 Arabs live in that area that will be offered some type of citizenship.
Offering citizenship to new residents is not new.
It happened 34 years ago when Israel enacted the Golan law annexing the Golan heights to Israel.
Then Druse residents were given Israeli identity cards and told that they had the right to become Israeli citizens.
The process was not easy but most Druse residents of the Golan are in fact Israeli citizens.
The benefits that Arabs will have from this process is enormous.
It will manifest itself in health care education infrastructure and other areas.
It is the only way forward now.
The process must start now as the four years of Donald Trumps presidency are ticking away.
This process cannot be dragged on.

One state or two states
The truth be said there is no perfect solution to the ongoing crisis of over one hundred years of Jew and Arab in the holy land.
One state or two states will not work, nothing will work.
What needs to be done is to limit the damage and friction between Jews and Arabs in the short and long term.
This would mean a combination of the one state and two state solution.
This would be a probable annexation of some of Judea and Samaria.
The parts that have little Arab populace will be first to be annexed.
The rest of Judea and Samaria will be placed in a temporary mode until demographics will allow for more extensive annexation.
Those who hope for a one state solution and thereby seek to destroy Israel are leaving in a dream world.
The annexation will be gradual and very thought out.
Eventually when there is a massive influx of Jews and some exodus of Arabs further annexation can be considered.
Unclear when these annexation laws will be passed.
It will be in the next few months.
This will be very interesting as it unfolds.
Stay tuned!

Trump-tough guy
He seems like the worlds new tough guy.
Standing up to Iran, North Korea and Isis.
He has little time to object to the expansion of some settlements in Judea and Samaria.
The PA does not get this and is pretending that things are as they have been.
That would be an automatic comment by Washington denouncing settlement activity.
The impossibility of a real Palestinian state perhaps has not dawned on them or maybe they prefer the status quo of cushy Jobs from handouts to real improvement for their people.
Trump is to meet Bibi in a few weeks and that will trigger new sanctions on Iran.
They will likely agree on a interim agreement of sorts with regard to the Israeli Palestinian issue.
Trump will likely turn the other eye to all settlement activity and focus on American interests.
There will be a quiet solution for the time being with regard to the embassy issue with the new ambassador working and living in Jerusalem at the American consulate/ embassy.
In a few months it will likely become official.
It's going to be a lot of fun...

World Muslim ban
So trump is doing what he promised to do.
Why are people surprised?
Often good people suffer because of bad people, horrible reality.
There are of course good hard working Muslim people who will suffer because of Jihad extremists at least in the beginning.
There will come a time where there will be clear guidelines as to who comes into the US.
Until that happens the United States has the right to even take extreme measures to protect itself.
Trump was elected on this platform and he is following thru on his campaign promises.
Liberal people as those less so suffer in terrorist attacks and everyone should take the proper steps to protect themselves.
What trump needs to do is infiltrate illegal Mexicans and Muslim groups and arrest those people.
There must be a swift policy of deportation that does not wind through the courts.
There is no choice other than racial profiling with all its legal and ethical problems.
The world is at war with radical Islam and extreme steps need to be taken in that regard.
It seems likely that if sleeper terrorist cells exist in New York or elsewhere in the US they will act soon.
Trump will look bad if there are a string of attacks in the US.
Hard to say how this plays out.
We will see ...

Crazy world
Those who would continue to entertain the possibility of a another Arab state west of the river Jordan are living in a dream world.
They entertain this idea despite the obvious impossibility of its implementation.
Why?
Those in the Palestinian authority have good jobs and great pay funded by the United States and need to do something that is in line with their jobs.
So they continue to discuss something that will never be.
Gives them something to do essentially.
The PA has just received 221 million dollars in the last hours of Obama's presidency.
This American tax payer money will go to fund corrupt cronies in the PA for at least a few more months.
The president of the PA will continue to fly around the world doing nothing but stay in expensive hotels on the dime of the American tax payer.
He and others will continue to live the good life while refusing to come to terms with Israel as a Jewish state.
This money will run out of course as free money is easy to spend.
They will demand a state and the destruction of Israel.
Their belief that Israel will go away somehow has not changed in a hundred years.
A crazy world supports an impossible idea.
Donald Trump does not.
