Trump's Partition Plan is Only the Beginning • If Israel is required to divide Jerusalem, it will be necessary to deviate from the plan and perhaps even formulate a different stance towards it • Interpretation

In October 1937, David Ben-Gurion wrote to his son Amos: "A partial Jewish state is not the end but a beginning ... a powerful lever in our efforts to redeem the country in its entirety." Also, President Trump's 2020 Partition Plan, which rips two ancient homeland strands of the Israeli nation and historic Israel - is not the end, but just the beginning.

Israel now faces a Ben-Gurion-sized decision: 73 years after that partition decision, Providence for Israel headed by Benjamin Netanyahu arranged a rare circumstance that would doubtless repeat itself in the foreseeable future. The century plan is indeed a once-in-a-century opportunity, and Israel must say yes.

The full details of the plan will be revealed soon, but if what has been published about her is accurate to date - whether Jerusalem, even without the Arab neighborhoods beyond the fence, will remain ours; If the Temple Mount is left in our hands; If all Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are Israeli sovereignty applied and if the settlement in the historical lands, the cradle of the Israeli nation, will enjoy territorial succession to Israel and within it - Israel must say yes to Trump.

Also in 1947, the division tore the land of Israel in two, leaving the western and central Galilee, the eastern part of the Negev, including Beersheba, and even Jaffa (as an Arab enclave) within the Arab state. In 2020, too, the Trump plan rips Judea and Samaria, the heart of our homeland, and leaves about 70% to a future Palestinian entity, but what they did in the past and Arab refusal will do now, and in the future, time and Palestinian refusal. We won't sit back either.

To embrace what Trump is proposing now is only the beginning and not the end. Even if parts of the show have a bitter taste - it never ends. Think Ben-Gurion: The Palestinians will not give up on Jerusalem, will not give up a "full" state, disarm Hamas, and will continue to miss every opportunity to miss every opportunity.

They will provide us with enough cause in the future to "continue our efforts to redeem the land in its entirety," as David Ben-Gurion put it, or in our language today: to adhere to Zionism of Zion, to the Zionist "Zomod", to maintain allegiance to the Land of Israel and our historic homeland - not only by virtue of the theoretical right But by virtue of the practical building of the country on the borders of June 10, 1967, following the liberation of the Judean and Samaria ropes.

Netanyahu's serious test will be the realization of the decision to apply sovereignty to all localities here and now, even before the elections, in both the government and the Knesset. It will also be Lieberman's test of seriousness, which will have to decide a Liberian face: what it is about him - what is the morbid addiction to "just not Bibi", or the exploitation of a historical opportunity that has been successful for several generations. If "Israel is for all," as Blue and White's current ally promises, then he must vote for that outline.

Anyone who blighted a cut lump in his heart as an open wound; Anyone who tears away from his eyes whenever he remembers the deportation mirrors and anyone who is nightly equipped to allow a similar fate to visit tens of thousands and thousands of residents of Judea and Samaria - has to go on a century plan. It has for the first time an "experience" with an American umbrella that can prevent it.

And another big, huge asterisk - Jerusalem. As these lines were being written, all the details of the plan, not particularly with regard to Jerusalem, for which conflicting reports were published, were not yet known.

If, God forbid, Israel is required to realistically redistribute Jerusalem or give up its status on the Temple Mount, then there must be a way to exclude Jerusalem from the plan, to formulate our answer to Trump differently and perhaps to formulate a different stance on his plan.
