Stunning Reports About Trump’s Plan for Jerusalem

The Israel Ambassador Tour I'm leading arrives in Jerusalem Thursday evening and I can't wait. The Holy City is a city like no other—one with an incredible past and a glorious future.

But that's why I'm so concerned about what the Trump administration may have planned for Israel's eternal capital. The news is stunning, frankly, and I'd dismiss it except for numerous credible reports. Learn more below and join me in a critically important petition to the President. -Mat

Jerusalem is one of the most ancient cities in the world. And easily the most fought over. One historian counts 118 battles for Jerusalem in the last four thousand years.

And ever since King David captured Jerusalem in 1000 B.C., it has been the capital of the Jewish people—and no other. No other nation has made Jerusalem its capital in the last 3,000 years—and that includes the Palestinians.

But some in the Trump White House reportedly think dividing Jerusalem is the path to peace between the Jews and Arabs. They could not be more wrong.

Numerous press reports indicate the still-under-wraps Trump peace plan includes a proposal to divide Jerusalem—giving a portion of the Holy City to the Palestinians...

"The program [peace plan] includes a clear partition of Jerusalem." —Al Monitor, December 19, 2018
"U.S. President Donald Trump's 'deal of the century'... will include a Palestinian state on 85-90% of the West Bank and the division of Jerusalem." —Jerusalem Post, January 16, 2019
"The United States is expected to recognized a Palestinian state with its capital in eastern Jerusalem." —Jewish News Syndicate, February 11, 2019
"EXCLUSIVE: Israeli FM [Foreign Minister] has heard that part of the new US-sponsored peace initiative centers on division of the Old City of Jerusalem." —Reporter for Al Riyadh, March 5, 2019

But dividing the Holy City and making "East Jerusalem" the capital of the new state of "Palestine" is no formula for peace. Virtually every part of the ground we will be walking on in Jerusalem would be given to the Palestinian Authority. We would never be able to visit these sacred sites. It's a recipe for unending conflict. Even worse, it crosses God's red line for His holy city.

The Lord could not be more clear. He is "exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem" (Zech. 1:14). And He promises to "enter into judgment" with those nations who "have divided up my land" (Joel 3:2).

You and I don't want God's judgment on America. And neither, I'm sure, does President Trump. And that's why we must do everything in our power to warn the Trump administration against making a catastrophic mistake.

Please sign CIDI's "No Deal, Mr. President!" petition. It's a forceful plea to America's most pro-Israel President, urging him not to divide Jerusalem.

And please act right away because time is short.

The White House peace proposal will go public after Israel's elections on April 9. That gives us a very short window in which to collect signatures and send this petition to the White House. So please respond immediately.

And as you do, I ask you to include a gift to help us fight this battle, as well as everything else we do to bless and defend Israel.

To thank you for your much-needed and timely support, I want to send you an exclusive publication that shows you why dividing the land to seek peace won't work. And it offers compelling details about what might. It's yours for your gift of any amount.

I'm grateful for your friendship and for your heart for Israel. Thank you for your prayers and your part in helping us fight for Israel.

May God bless you, may God bless the United States, and may God bless the state of Israel!

Sincerely,

Mat Staver
Chairman

P.S. Your petition signature and your generous support will make a real difference. Please let me hear from you right away. Thank you.
