White House Press Release
White House Press Release:
President Trump Announces a New, Brighter Vision for Israel and the Palestinian People
A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR PEACE
Today, Prime Minister Netanyahu joined President Trump at the White House to detail a new approach to achieve peace and prosperity for Israel and the Palestinian people.
> > > For details, see below.
Part One
A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR PEACE
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "This vision for peace is fundamentally different from past proposals. In the past, even the most well-intentioned plans were light on factual details and heavy on conceptual frameworks."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "By contrast, our plan is 80 pages and is the most detailed proposal ever put forward by far. As I have seen throughout my long career as a dealmaker, complex problems require nuanced, fact-based remedies. That is why our proposal provides precise technical solutions to make Israelis, Palestinians, and the region safer and much more prosperous."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "My vision presents a win-win opportunity for both sides, a realistic two state solution that resolves the risk of Palestinian statehood to Israel's security. Today Israel has taken a giant step toward peace. Yesterday, Prime Minister Netanyahu informed me that he is willing to endorse the vision as the basis for direct negotiations."
Part Two
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SHARED PROSPERITY
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "During my trip to Israel, I also met with the Palestinian President Abbas in Bethlehem. I was saddened by the fate of the Palestinian people. They deserve a far better life. They deserve the chance to achieve their extraordinary potential."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "My vision gives the Palestinians the time needed to rise up and meet the challenges of statehood. I sent a letter today to President Abbas. I explained to him that the territory allocated for his new state will remain open and undeveloped for a period of four years. During this time, Palestinians can use all appropriate deliberation to study the deal, negotiate with Israel, achieve the criteria for statehood, and become a truly independent and wonderful state."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "President Abbas, I want you to know that if you choose the path to peace, America and many other countries - we will be there. We will be there to help you in so many different ways, and we will be there every step of the way."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Your response to this historic opportunity will show the world to what extent you're ready to lead the Palestinian people to statehood."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "The Palestinian people have grown distrustful after years of unfulfilled promises. So true. Yet, I know they are ready to escape their tragic past and realize a great destiny. We must break free of yesterday's failed approaches."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Our vision will deliver a massive commercial investment of $50 billion into the new Palestinian state"
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Palestinians will be able to seize their new future with dignity, self-sufficiency, and national pride, to ensure a successful Palestinian state. We are asking the Palestinians to meet the challenges of peaceful coexistence. This includes adopting basic laws and trying human rights, protecting against financial and political corruption, stopping the malign activities of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other enemies of peace.
Part Three
SUPPORTING ISRAEL
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "As everyone knows, I have done a lot for Israel. Moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing -- recognizing the Golan Heights, and frankly perhaps most importantly, getting out of the terrible Iran nuclear deal."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "The state of Israel comprises only a minuscule amount of land in the Middle East, and yet it has become a thriving center of democracy, innovation, culture, and commerce. Israel is a light unto the world. The hearts and history of our people are woven together. The land of Israel is an ancient home, a sacred place of worship, and a solemn promise to the Jewish people we will never again repeat history's darkest hour."
Part Four
ERADICATING TERRORISM
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Young people across the Middle East are ready for a more hopeful future and governments throughout the region are realizing that terrorism and Islamic extremism are everyone's common enemy."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "The Middle East is changing rapidly. On my first trip abroad as President, I traveled to Saudi Arabia to discuss our shared priorities with the 54 leaders of the Muslim and Arab countries. I made clear that all civilized nations share the same goals - stamping out extremism, creating opportunity for the region's youth."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Since that time, immense progress has been made. A growing number of nations have taken strong stance against terrorism and radicalization. Thanks to the courage of U.S. forces, the ISIS territorial caliphate, 100% of their caliphate, ISIS, is destroyed. And its savage leader, Al-Baghdadi, is now dead . . . We eliminated for Qasem Soleimani, the world's top terrorist."

About CHPP
About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government. Our primary purpose is to offer intercession on site for the members of Congress and their staffs each day that the Senate and the House of Representatives are in session; and our chief prayer focus is that "God's will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." [Matthew 6:10].
Because Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God." [Romans 13:1]
