Trump Tells Netanyahu: No Annexation of Judea and Samaria
In a decisive declaration that has sent shockwaves through Israeli political circles, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will not allow Israel to annex Judea and Samaria, compromising Israel’s security concerns and rewarding Hamas.
In a decisive declaration that has sent shockwaves through Israeli political circles, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will not allow Israel to annex Judea and Samaria, compromising Israel’s security concerns and rewarding Hamas.
“I will not allow Israel to annex [Judea and Samaria]. It’s not going to happen,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, emphasizing that he had already conveyed this message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “There’s been enough. It’s time to stop now.”
The president’s public statement followed private assurances he made to Arab and Muslim leaders during a multilateral meeting on Tuesday at the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. According to six sources familiar with the discussion, Trump was firm on the topic, promising that Israel would not be allowed to absorb the territories currently governed by the Palestinian Authority.
Trump’s announcement comes as several Western allies, including France, Britain, Canada, Australia, and Portugal, recognized a Palestinian state, partly to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution. Israel has condemned these moves, with Netanyahu expected to deliver sharp criticism of these countries, particularly France, during his UN General Assembly address on Friday.
The two-state solution would create an unprecedented militarized Palestinian entity within Israel’s borders that has been ethnically cleansed of Jews and with its exclusively Muslim capital in Jerusalem. This is based on the catastrophic failure of the Oslo Accords and the land-for-peace process that created a terrorist state in Gaza. When President Obama called for Israel to return to the pre-1967 borders, Netanyahu responded that they were “indefensible”. Indeed, before the victory in the Six-Day War, Israel was only nine miles wide.
Despite Trump’s opposition, the Netanyahu government has already implemented numerous measures that extend and solidify Israel’s de facto control over Judea and Samaria. Under Netanyahu’s leadership, Israel has significantly expanded Jewish communities throughout the Biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria, creating facts on the ground that strengthen Israel’s security. New construction approvals and the establishment of outposts have accelerated in recent years.
Israel has tightened its security operations across Judea and Samaria, establishing additional checkpoints, military installations, and surveillance systems that effectively demonstrate Israeli sovereignty over the area. This is in response to a rise in deadly terrorism that preceded the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
PASTOR DIRK SAYS
The Annexation of Judea and Samaria is one of the Main reasons for the Final Bomb of Gog and Magog and will also be One of the Peace Points of the 7 Year Peace Agreement after Gog and Magog that the Jewish Messiah aka the Antichrist will Sign with the rest of the World . Giving Judea and Samaria to Palestine as a Country in trade for a Portion of the Temple Mount to build the New 3rd Jewish Temple next to the Dome of the Rock.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
666 Mark of the Beast Closer than we Think
With the assassination of Charlie Kirk , Facial Recognition will be Implemented at all Public Events from Oct 2025. UK England have Implemented Digital ID’s and a World wide movement on this has started. It all Started in 2020 with the Vaccine Movement of Covid and a vaccine certificate. The One World order is Hungry to Control the Masses with a Digital mark of the Beast. Crupto Currency is one of the Leading Money Systems that can be Linked to a Digital ID by Tomorrow AND the Banking sector are almost Ready to Follow. The Vaccine Digital almost launched and are in the ready stage to joint the 666 movement of the Digital ID.
A founder of OpenAI—the company behind ChatGPT—has developed a program designed to register users with a global digital identifier. World ID is meant to give every person his or her own unique digital identity that distinguishes individuals from each other and from AI. It purports to do this by scanning the user’s iris on a biometric verification device called the Orb and developing a numerical code based on the eye’s image. The image file of the iris can be deleted, and only the code will remain. The iris scan is required to make an account with World ID, but it is not connected digitally to any personal information. It is designed to ensure people can only create a single account; once scanned, a person’s eyes cannot be used to create another ID. The user chooses whether the image of their iris is deleted or stored and used for research.
World ID is connected to Worldcoin, a digital currency. Everyone who registers for a World ID through the Orb will receive one Worldcoin token based on Ethereum. Users can create an account and trade in Worldcoin without scanning their irises, but they will not receive a free token or receive a World ID. In addition to giving a free token now, World ID will attempt to make the global digital economy more equitable for all users around the world. How they would do this is unknown other than ensuring people cannot have more than one World ID.
Is World ID the mark of the beast?
No not yet, World ID is not yet, the prophesied mark of the beast, and Worldcoin is not yet, the prophesied global currency. The mark of the beast cannot exist until the Antichrist aka the Jewish Messiah is revealed. The mark is specifically an indication that the person worships the beast, and that will not happen until the second half of the tribulation (see Revelation 13). The mark of the beast cannot exist yet (But that does not stop them to generate the tools ) because the beast has not taken power yet.
Will this technology contribute to the development of the mark of the beast?
Yes it will . It is reasonable to speculate that the mark of the beast will include some kind of unique identifier. However, it will also include a mark: something that is added to the human body on the forehead or right hand (Revelation 13:16–17). It is not merely something about the body that is recorded.
Should Christians avoid World ID and Worldcoin to delay the development of the mark of the beast?
The Bible clearly explains that the timing of the return of Jesus is determined by the will of God the Father alone (Acts 1:6–7). We cannot know, delay, or hasten Jesus’ coming. Christians have to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit on avoiding or using the World ID or Worldcoin for spiritual purposes. It is not a sin to use, develop, or promote technology that may eventually will be used by the Antichrist. But to become part of it is a different ballgame.
Should Christians use World ID and Worldcoin?
That is a matter of discernment. Despite developers’ best intentions, digital information is always vulnerable. As of this writing, it appears the iris scans used to train the system have not been deleted, and the methods used to acquire them were not entirely ethical. Landing in the Wrong hands . it will be the Mark of the Beast by the Next day. The Bible says nothing specific about a global identifier or digital currency. On the other hand, anyone who has taken a DNA heritage test has already made biometric data available to a corporation and theoretically vulnerable to digital theft.
South Africans saying goodbye to bank cards
The recent financial results of three major banks suggest that South Africans are increasingly adopting digital wallets and virtual cards, reducing reliance on physical cards for payments.
Digital wallets include apps like Apple Wallet, Garmin Pay, Google Wallet, Samsung Wallet, and SwatchPay.
These apps enable users to link their physical or virtual bank cards to make in-person payments with contactless-enabled smartphones and smartwatches.
Instead of tapping or swiping their card, they can hold their device to any payment terminal that supports contactless payments to perform a transaction.
In addition to being a convenient way to pay, digital wallets offer additional security by requiring users to authenticate themselves with biometrics, a PIN, a pattern, or a passcode.
Many banks allow contactless card payments without entering a PIN up to a certain amount, typically R500.
If a thief gets their hand on a client’s card, they can make numerous transactions below that value until the owner blocks their card or the daily limit is reached.
This additional protection is one reason that banks are actively encouraging their customers to embrace digital wallets. Apart from TymeBank, all the country’s major banks have rolled out support for digital wallets.
In the early days, the technology was not as openly accessible as the near-field communications (NFC) chips required on the devices were primarily available on high-end smartphones and smartwatches.
Over time, NFC support filtered down to budget smartphones. In 2022, the arrival of Google Wallet in South Africa also made many more devices eligible for digital wallet usage.
That was the same year that South Africa’s largest bank by customers — Capitec — first rolled out digital wallet support.
Despite many Capitec customers still using cash, the technology has seen rapid uptake at the bank in recent times.
In its 2025 financial year, Capitec recorded a 159% increase in digital wallet transactions, which reached 167 million.
Digital wallet values also increased 161%, climbing from R13.1 billion to R34.2 billion. In addition, Capitec customers using digital wallets also increased by 103% to around one million.
Older adopters still seeing strong traction
Capitec’s substantial digital wallet surge can be partially attributed to the fact that it is coming off a lower base.
Absa, Discovery Bank, FNB, Nedbank, and Standard Bank launched digital wallet support several years before Capitec.
Even so, several of these banks have continued to see substantial growth in the payment method.
That includes FNB, which recently reported a 45% increase in digital wallet transaction volumes in its 2025 financial year.
The bank also reported a 68% increase in virtual card transaction values, which already accounted for 11.5% of all card spend at FNB in 2024.
Nedbank also recorded 61% growth in digital contactless payment volumes, which included digital wallets, in the first half of its 2025 financial year.
Discovery Bank recently also said that over 60% of its customers preferred to pay with digital wallets instead of physical cards.
The trends correlate with findings in Stitch’s 2025 State of Consumer Payments in South Africa report, which surveyed 2,000 South Africans and found 90% had tried or used payment methods other than cash or card.
Less than 30% of respondents in the survey said they did not use any digital wallets for payments in the past year.
WATCH: President Trump replaces Biden’s portrait with photo of an autopen
Scandals over the flagrant and widespread use of President Biden’s autopen to sign laws, issue pardons, and exercise other presidential powers have been coming to light since his exit from the White House.
Gog and Magog Update
According to the IDF, more than 550,000 civilians have so far evacuated south from Gaza City, while the 162nd, 98th and 36th divisions have begun operating in Hamas strongholds.
The Israel Defense Forces is advancing into Gaza City, targeting Hamas’s main stronghold, with troops engaged in combat against terrorists both above and below ground, IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said on Sunday.
“Hamas has shown the world its true strategy: to exploit its own people and prolong this war,” said Defrin.
“Our forces are working day and night, turning over every stone, to bring our hostages home, dismantle Hamas’s terror networks, and secure a safer region for all,” he added.
Over the past week, Hamas had demonstrated its tactics by firing on a U.N. team, using stolen United Nations vehicles to obstruct the building of a new road for aid deliveries and robbing four UNICEF trucks at gunpoint, depriving thousands of infants of baby formula, said Defrin.
Hamas continues to block civilians from leaving combat zones, choosing to sacrifice Gaza’s residents rather than protecting them, he added.
Lawmakers urge Trump admin to block Turkey from acquiring advanced US fighter jets
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is urging the Trump administration to halt any plans to advance negotiations with Turkey, a NATO ally, over acquiring advanced US fighter jets, warning that doing so without congressional approval would violate federal law and undermine national security.
The message came as Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan met with US President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss a range of issues, including the potential sale of F-35s to Ankara.
In a letter sent on Thursday to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, 20 members of the US Congress raised alarm bells over reports that the administration is exploring “a major F-16 deal” with Ankara and seeking to “conclude positively” ongoing talks about the F-35 program.
In August, a bipartisan group of 40 lawmakers requested that Rubio prevent Turkey from joining the F-35 program.
