Evangelist Irvin Baxter, who is known for his contact with Donald Trump, answered journalist Muhammed Özdemir's questions from Milli Gazete. Baxter explained the details of the 'Deal of the Century' that we have heard frequently recently.
- Donald Trump said he wanted to implement the 'Agreement of the Century' project. What can you say about the 'Agreement of the Century' as a source close to him?
- President Trump said his number one goal in the election campaign was to make a peace agreement between the Palestinians and Israelis. I can tell you that Trump is very proud to be preparing this deal. The President commissioned Jared Kushner, his close friend David Friedman, who served as a consultant during the election campaign, and Jason Greenblatt, the US President's Special Representative for International Negotiations. This three-man team started their work right after Trump took the oath. This team held talks with Mahmoud Abbas, including King Abdullah of Jordan, Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu, King of Saudi Arabia Salman and many Arab countries in the region. Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is in a hurry to make this deal public.
- Do you have any information about when the agreement of the century can be explained?
- Mahmoud Abbas, after President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel; 'There is nothing left to discuss with Trump, and the US has lost its role as a mediator,' he said. Following this statement, Putin told Abbas that he might be a mediator and negotiations could be held in Moscow. My personal opinion says to me, Israel never goes to Moscow and does not sit on the table with Russia and Palestine. Trump-Putin summit is held recently (3-6 months). Co-chaired by the two countries, the parties come together and the 'Agreement of the Century' is explained.
- If the 'Agreement of the Century' comes to life, what will be the final state of the Palestinian territories currently occupied?
- When all this is over (when the agreement is announced), a Palestinian state will be established in the region known as Judea-Samaria, which is now known as the West Bank. After the establishment of a Palestinian state in this region, the Jewish minorities living there are Palestinian citizens and can live as minority rights. As a matter of fact, 1.6 million cars live in the Jewish state as a minority... The other thing is that the Jews and Christians called the 'Temple Hill' (Haram Al-Sharif). This temple will be shared. Neither Israel nor the Palestinian side will be able to take control of this hill alone. Another issue is Jerusalem. As far as I know, Jerusalem will not be put on the table as a question mark and will be excluded from this agreement. Of course, this is not forever, but only a snooze. Only seven years after the agreement came to life, Jerusalem will be taken completely.
WHO IS PREPARING THE AGREEMENT?
Jared Kushner: US adviser and son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, stands out as a close name to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli lobby in Washington. The Jewish Kushner family is known for their support for Israel's attempts to invade Palestine. Kushner, Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Selman, whom he secretly visited at the end of October, convinced him of the Agreement of the Century.
Jason Greenblatt: The US President's Special Representative for International Negotiations, Greenblatt was previously Donald Trump's lawyer. Greenblatt studied at the Jewish school of the West Bank for a period. Jason Greenblatt has made many visits to the region since taking office.
David Friedman: David Friedman, a Jewish lawyer, who was an advisor to US President Donald Trump during his election campaign, was appointed US Ambassador to Israel by Trump. Friedman, known for his hatred for Israel's far-right, and his hatred of the Jews defending the two-state solution, argued that "the Israeli government's building new settlements is not an obstacle to peace."
