ed note–The reader will recall way back in 2017 when a certain POTUS DJT made his trip to Israel with the intention of giving a speech at Masada, the fortress that served as the last holdout in the war between Rome and Judea, that rather than riding the cablecar to the mountaintop he choose instead to use his Air Force 1 helicopter.
Israel, knowing that the speech he was to give was going to be used in ‘lubricating’ the rusted-shut and ossified minds of those of the Hebraic persuasion into supporting his ‘Deal of the Century’, forbade him using the helo saying it would create ‘too much dust’.
Truth be told, although yet to be ‘officially’ revealed, DOUBTLESS that DJT and his security detail knew or suspected that the Netanyahu government was planning to manufacture some disaster involving that cablecar with POTUS DJT in it and it crashing to the ground, thus killing him and killing as well his planned ‘peace deal’ between the Jews and the Palestinians. Doubtless as well that the disaster would have been painted in ‘biblical’ brushstrokes, i.e. that the god of Israel, Yah-way, did this in order to ‘save’ his precious ‘chosen’ people from a ‘peace deal’ that ran 666% counter to the promises made in the Torah concerning that ‘promised land’ stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.
Likewise, all can rest assured that Bennett & co have similar plans in mind with Putin coming to Jerusalem for ‘peace talks’ with Zelensky. Once he arrives, doubtless that he would be arrested by Israel as a ‘war criminal’, painting in very clear brushstrokes that the Jewish state had just saved the entire world from WWIII and thus removing Russia as a ‘player’ on the great global chessboard standing in the way of–again–the fulfillment of those promises from ‘Yah-way’ concerning that Nile to the Euphrates real estate deal.
As we like to point out often on this humble little informational endeavor and which Gentiles should keep in the forefront of their collective mind as much as possible, no one ever accused ‘them’ of being stupid.
Times of Israel
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett proposed that Israel serve as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine during a phone call with President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, according to a readout released by the Kremlin, which did not say how the latter responded to Jerusalem’s offer. Israeli sources confirmed Bennett’s offer.
According to the Russian readout, Putin told Bennett that Russia has sent a delegation to Gomel in southern Belarus to conduct peace talks with Ukrainian officials.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, who had proposed the idea of Israeli mediation to Bennett on Friday, emphasized the country’s readiness for peace talks.
Initially refusing to hold peace talks in Moscow’s ally Belarus, which has allowed Russia to use its territory as a staging ground for the invasion that began Thursday, Zelensky agreed later Sunday that the Ukrainian delegation would meet with the Russian delegation without preconditions on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border.
Bennett initiated the call to Putin, which was held at around noon and lasted 20 minutes, Channel 12 news reported citing Israeli sources. The prime minister updated the United States and Ukraine both before and after the conversation.
Bennett first expressed sorrow regarding the situation, which he said he hoped would not develop into a grave humanitarian crisis.
Putin told Bennett he had no choice but to act, since Ukraine broke its obligations, the TV news report said.
He said he is ready to negotiate, and that his representatives were in Belarus, but the Ukrainians were spurning the opportunity to do so.
At that point, Bennett said Israel is ready to assist in any way possible in bringing the sides together, now or in the future, in light of its unique relationship with both countries. ‘We are at one hour before midnight; it’s important to find the optimal points for dialogue,’ said Bennett, according to the TV report.
Bennett and Putin agreed to remain in close contact, an Israeli official said.
The phone call marked the first time Bennett and Putin have spoken since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Earlier Sunday, Bennett said that Israel will be sending additional humanitarian aid to war-torn Ukraine, as the Russian invasion into the Eastern European country enters its fourth day.
‘In the next two days a plane will arrive in Ukraine with 100 tons of Israeli humanitarian equipment for civilians in the combat zones and those who are trying to leave,’ the premier said during a weekly cabinet meeting.
The delivered equipment will include ‘water purification kits, medical equipment as well as drugs, tents, blankets, sleeping bags and additional equipment for civilians who are not in their homes in the cold winter weather,’ he added.
Bennett also thanked the Foreign Ministry and its personnel for ‘working around the clock to assist the Israelis who are at the border and want to leave there and come home.’
He said Israel and the entire world were watching ‘the difficult events’ unfold in Ukraine and said he hopes the conflict is resolved ‘before the war develops further and the humanitarian consequences will be much worse than we can even imagine.
‘We are praying for the wellbeing of the citizens of Ukraine and hope that additional bloodshed will be avoided. We are conducting a measured and responsible policy,’ he told cabinet members.
Bennett said the cabinet would convene in the evening for a ‘comprehensive’ discussion to examine ‘the implications of the situation for Israel,’ including diplomatic and economic repercussions, as well as the issue of absorbing immigrants from Ukraine.
But despite expressing concern for Ukraine and warning of humanitarian consequences, Bennett refrained from condemning Russia or even mentioning it by name, as he did on Thursday when addressing the Russian invasion for the first time.
‘The world order as we know it is changing,’ he said Thursday. ‘The world is much less stable, and our region too is changing every day. These are difficult, tragic times,’ he added, expressing sorrow for Ukrainian citizens ‘who were caught up in this situation.’
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid told a private meeting during a discussion on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that Israel must condemn dictators, Army Radio reported earlier Sunday.
‘Israel must be on the right side and condemn dictators who attack democracies,’ Lapid reportedly said. Lapid’s office said it will not comment on a private gathering.
Israel has been careful in its comments on the conflict and Bennett has avoided criticizing Moscow publicly. This is believed to be at least partly due to its need to work with the Russian military presence in neighboring Syria.
Lapid last Thursday called ‘the Russian attack on Ukraine’ a ‘serious violation of the international order,’ however, in a statement said to be coordinated with Bennett. Lapid added: ‘Israel condemns that attack, and is ready and prepared to offer humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian citizens.’
