Recent news reflects a trend I’ve noticed ever since President Trump’s visit to China.

He seems convinced that he must secure a deal - and that it must be framed as a victory.

My question is this: Why would you suddenly view your partners and allies as the obstacle while treating the enemy that openly seeks to kill you and your daughter as the best option on the table?

Another simple question: Why would you assume Israel might not like such a deal? Maybe because you know we don’t buy the lies and deception of the Islamic Republic? Maybe because anything you sign with them won’t be worth the paper it’s written on? Maybe because real change can only be achieved when they are on the ground with your boot pressing on their neck?

I know China has insisted that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened quickly. I also know that the “benefits” you expect from them may appear greater than those offered by your allies. But if October 7 taught me anything, it is this: whatever your enemy tells his own people is exactly what he intends to do.

And in the case of the Islamic Republic, their intentions are crystal clear:

 They will never give up their right to enrich uranium.
 They will never give up their ballistic missile program.
 They will never abandon their proxy armies.
 They will never allow you to remove their enriched uranium.
 They will use this crisis to consolidate full control over the Strait of Hormuz and impose fees on every ship that passes through it.
 They will continue to persecute, torture, and execute their own citizens who oppose their maniacal ideology.

They may agree to sign a framework for future negotiations, but they will drag those negotiations out indefinitely until you are exhausted and ultimately allow them to keep exactly what they wanted from the beginning.

You said it yourself in 2020, Mr. President: “Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation.”

You chose to stop the war and move the contest into the one arena where they are masters.

And boy, are they wrapping you around their finger.

Israel will do what it has to do - and will survive with or without America.

We are a very small nation, but we will never allow any regime or its proxy armies to plot and carry out our annihilation.

And while you go to bed - or simply fall asleep wherever you are - remember what the Word of God says:

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills -
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.”

(Psalm 121:1-4)
