peaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson says that the “mountains of Judea and Samaria” belong to the Jewish people “by right,” during a visit to the West Bank settlement of Ariel, according to a statement by the settlement’s municipal authority.

Johnson, who is among the most senior US officials to ever visit a West Bank settlement, speaks at a celebratory event attended by Ariel Mayor Yair Chetboun and the mayors of other West Bank settlements.

“Every corner of this land is important to us. It is an integral part of our faith, and therefore the significance for us is great… We stand entirely by your side,” says Johnson, according to the statement.

“Scripture teaches us that the mountains of Judea and Samaria were promised to the Jewish people, and they belong to them by right. But many people around the world do not see it like this, they label it the ‘occupied territories’ or the ‘West Bank’ or any other name,” he adds. “Every mayor here should know exactly where we stand regarding this issue — and we stand with you.”

His spokesperson does not respond to a request for comment.

Along with Johnson, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, his daughter, and Governor of Arkansas Sarah Huckabee-Sanders also participate in the US delegation, along with Republican congressmen Nathaniel Moran, Michael McCaul, Claudia Tenney, and Michael Cloud.

Chetboun in the statement describes Johnson’s visit as “an historic moment of shared values, deep friendship, and strong partnership between the US and Israel, and between the US and Judea and Samaria, the place where the Jewish story began.”

And, in other news ...

Netanyahu said set to order full takeover of Gaza, despite IDF qualms, risk to hostages

Senior official close to PM quoted saying ‘the die is cast — we are going for a full occupation of the Gaza Strip,’ also suggests IDF chief resign if he opposes move

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told ministers this week that he will seek cabinet backing for a plan to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, despite objections from within the Israel Defense Forces.

According to reports in Hebrew media, several ministers said Netanyahu used the term “occupation of the Strip” in private conversations describing his vision for the expansion of military operations in Gaza — a notable shift in tone as the government prepares to discuss the future of the Gaza campaign.

The Ynet news site quoted a senior official close to the premier as saying, “The die is cast — we are going for a full occupation of the Gaza Strip.”

Scriptures actually teach, as in over and over and over again, that the ONLY way for the occupation of the "land" is through faithful obedience to God. Zionism is officially a secular/political movement, which is precisely why there are so many Orthodox Jews in Israel and around the world that oppose the policies of the Zionist State of Israel.

I feel sorry for fools who, motivated by lies from Satan and jealousy of Gods favored people the children of Israel, cannot see the plain writing on the wall. The formation of the government of Israel, by children of Israel, in the land promised to Israel by God in 1948 is a miracle. The fact that God preserved this government repeatedly against all odds and enemies for the past 80 odd years is also a miracle.

The people of Israel are even seeking to rebuild the temple which is prophetic in significance as the Antichrist will desecrate the temple during his brief rule.

So no, the scriptures don’t say “Israel can occupy the promised land, but only if their government is a religious theocracy in perfect harmony with RayPalestine’s warped interpretations of “faithful obedience “.”

Get off your high horse. Your judgment of Israel will come back to haunt you when God enlightens you about His eternal promise.

Israel doesn’t have to be right to be blessed, and when Israel is wrong, God still provides opportunity for redemption. God allowed them to be scattered, allowed the genocide of the holocaust. But He also gathered them back to the promised land, and will redeem all those who live through the tribulation, aka the remnant.

Romans 11:

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.’ As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.”
