President Trump is now aggressively pushing to expand the Abraham Accords — a diplomatic and economic race that’s colliding with prophetic boundaries and political limits. The urgency is clear, but the cost may be far greater than his team realizes — biblically, geopolitically, and even electorally.
Behind closed doors, Trump has made it known that he intends to put pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu to end the Gaza war. That pressure reflects not just internal U.S. calculations, but also the demands of the broader Sunni Arab world — including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and others — all of whom are calling for a two-state solution and postwar restructuring in Gaza.
We’ve been down this road before.
The Real Goal: Economic Integration, Not the Bible’s Covenant Land Promises
Trump’s inner circle — particularly through figures like Steve Witkoff — is pushing to finalize more Arab normalization deals in record time. This is being cast as peace diplomacy, but the driving engine is business.
Trump is financially entangled with the Gulf region. His real estate empire spans Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and in Oman. He’s building the tallest hotel tower in the world in Dubai, his family is developing crypto partnerships in the Emirates, and aligning U.S. foreign policy with multi-trillion-dollar Gulf investment commitments in the U.S.
This isn’t diplomacy. This is transactional geopolitics, where Israel becomes a chess piece on a larger economic board.
What concerns me most is this: President Trump believes money can solve the Middle East. That’s a profound miscalculation. Because this land — Israel’s land — is not governed by economic terms. It is covenant land, and history documented in my book, “Eye to Eye” the consequences of tampering with it are absolute.
Two-State Pressure and the Sunni Demands
The Sunni countries President Trump is negotiating with are demanding a two-state outcome. Saudi King Salman and the Saudi foreign minister have made their position crystal clear: no two-state, no normalization.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is more flexible in tone, preferring a phased approach — normalize now, deliver a Palestinian state later. But the destination remains the same. And Trump and Steve Witkoff, in a rush to secure deals, are aligning U.S. policy to that roadmap.
This isn’t speculation. It’s happening.
And for Israel, the pressure is enormous. Netanyahu’s coalition is already under threat from within. If he pauses the Gaza war or agrees to foreign oversight in postwar territory, his government could collapse, triggering early elections and a reconfiguration of the Knesset.
Trump’s Interfaith Rhetoric and the Islamic Expansion Agenda
There’s a growing trend inside Trump’s faith outreach — one that should concern every believer who stands on the authority of Scripture.
At a recent faith office gathering, a prayer over the Abrahamic traditions — explicitly welcoming imams, Christian pastors, and rabbis. This is no accident. It mirrors the Abraham Accords framework, which presents Islam, Christianity, and Judaism as equal religious partners under the “faith” umbrella.
But here’s the reality: this language elevates Islam in the U.S. It invites imams into equal political, religious, and legal influence in American society. And it is already producing results.
We are witnessing a calculated Islamic expansion in America — financed by Gulf oil money, legitimized by interfaith dialogue, and advanced by political silence.
New mosques are being built in Texas, Maryland, Michigan, and other strategic areas. It’s not isolated. It’s coordinated.
And now, in New York City, the Democratic Party has officially elected Zohrab Mamdani a Shiite Muslim as their candidate for mayor in the November election who has said publicly that if elected, he would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited the city.
Let that sink in.
This is a man who is anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and openly socialist — and yet he has the backing of progressives across the city, including some leaders in the Jewish community.
The Orthodox and Conservative Jewish communities are watching — and many are preparing to leave if Mamdani is elected. Because they know what could be coming.
Strategic Infiltration: The European Model in America
We’ve seen this play out in Europe and in U.S. cities like Houston. Once Islamic communities reach 10–15% of a district, they begin winning local offices, city councils, and state seats. The political infrastructure shifts — not through violence, but through population, narrative, and funding.
That is the long game. And America is sleepwalking into it.
And now, we have a president — whose economic agenda is opening the doors wider.
This isn’t just about a miscalculated peace plan. It’s about the long-term spiritual and demographic transformation of the United States.
Netanyahu’s Visit: A Pivotal Moment
This coming Monday, I’ll be at the White House as Prime Minister Netanyahu returns for his third major meeting with President Trump.
President Trump wants Gaza managed by Egypt and the UAE. He wants the war halted. And he wants the next round of Abraham Accords nations to sign on.
But there’s no indication that Hamas — now reportedly 30,000 strong — will disarm or surrender. And Gaza remains a well-known black hole of unaccountable foreign aid and terror funding.
This is the exact same “pressure Netanyahu” strategy that Clinton, Obama, Trump and Biden have all pursued — and it’s never worked.
The difference now is that the cost is even greater.
Because this isn’t just a political gamble. It’s a covenant violation.
And the God of Israel will not remain silent.
A Final Warning: Consequences for Both Leaders
This is not just a pivotal moment for President Trump — it’s a crisis point for Netanyahu as well.
If Netanyahu bows to U.S. pressure and agrees to halt the Gaza war, the consequences inside Israel could be immediate and severe. Multiple members of his governing coalition — particularly from the religious and nationalist factions — have already warned that such a move would be a red line. If he pauses the war or permits foreign management of Gaza, his coalition could collapse.
That would lead to new elections, the end of his leadership, and a fractured political landscape at a time when Israel is surrounded by threats on multiple fronts. All of it — triggered by foreign pressure, economic diplomacy, and a misguided rush toward a peace that ignores the Bible’s Abrahamic covenant pertaining to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants.
Let’s continue to fervently pray for President Donald Trump at this pivotal time in biblical and prophetic history for Israel and the United States.
