President Trump’s decision to recognize the annexation of the Golan heights will have real advantages in the fight against Iran. The Free Beacon reports:

The Trump administration’s recent recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the contested Golan Heights territory is part of a larger effort by the White House to open new fronts in efforts to combat Iranian militants and terror proxies in the region, according to U.S. officials familiar with the decision.

President Donald Trump won plaudits from the pro-Israel community and allies on Capitol Hill when he announced that America would officially recognize the Golan territory on Israel’s northern border as belonging to the Jewish state, which annexed the area following war with Syria several decades ago.

U.S. officials last week faced down critics of this decision at the United Nations, a forum unfriendly to the Jewish state, telling member countries that the Trump administration will take every step necessary to protect Israel’s right to self defense against Iranian militants and Hezbollah fighters who have used the Golan area to launch terrorist attacks on Israel.

Behind the scenes, U.S. officials acknowledge that the decision to formally recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights is due in no small part to Iran’s efforts to station militant fighters and terror proxy groups such as Hezbollah on the Jewish state’s borders. In Syria, for instance, Iran has operated with impunity and made the most of the country’s unrest by sending scores of highly trained militants.

The Syrian war will most likely result in a government victory, and will solidify Russian and Iranian influence there. This move will counterbalance any Iranian gains.

This reminds me of a big bully harrassing a smaller person. . .then the small guy gets tired of the crap and kicks the bully’s butt takes his candy and leaves him sitting in the dust. That is what happened when a combination of Arab nations attacked Israel 70 yrs or so ago so Israel has a right to the “Golan Heights candy” !!!

If it had not been for USA helping Israel, there might be a different chapter to the story.
Now when exactly since the settling of this country has any country been taken over by the winning side, in nearly every case the winner has rebuilt the country to a better standard than it was, not so with Israel, constantly pushing their neighbors and denying the Palestine people even enough food to have a healthy life and denying them the right to fish in their own waters.

NO MATTER What Muslims, or anyone else says: That Land is Israels land! In FACT that land is GOD’s land, given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to Abraham in a covenant, and He remembered the same covenant in Ex 2:24 KJV Ismael, Muslims are NOT entitled to any land in Palestine! That land according to Deut 25:23 is God’s land! Leviticus 25:23 KJV Jews will NEVER again be ousted and/or kicked off that land! In FACT, Muslims, will be kicked off and out of that land! As a matter of FACT: there shall NOT be anymore any Canaanites in the Land of Israel or the house of the LORD of hosts. Zechariah 14:21 KJV Muslims have NO right to any of the land, NOT one square inch!

I’ll tell you what else Donald trump doing what he is doing in his support for Israel is doing, and that is causing GOD to act upon what HE said HE would do as in Genesis 12:2-3 KJV Since God can NOT LIE, as in Titus 1:2 KJV, HE said HE would bless those tha Bless Israel, so…what do you think GOD will do? I KNOW what HE said, I KNOW what HE will do! PRAY for D.Trumps continuing blessings of Israel! This Nation needs every blessing it can get!
