Mordechai Sones: Trump and Netanyahu’s Deceptive Push.....

 Trump and Netanyahu’s Deceptive Push in the Abraham Accords Exposed

Saudi Arabia’s relentless pursuit of the Temple Mount, enabled by Trump and Netanyahu’s misleading strategies, endangers Israel’s sovereignty

Key Points

• Evidence reveals Trump and Netanyahu’s actions may prioritize Saudi interests over Israel’s sovereignty, particularly over the Temple Mount.
• The Abraham Accords expansion, framed as a peace initiative, masks risks to Israel’s control, driven by manipulated narratives and geopolitical agendas.
• Warnings highlight cognitive warfare shaping perceptions and Israel’s potential role as a pawn, urging a reassessment of trust in these leaders.
• Call to action urges Israel to safeguard its sovereignty with strategic resolve, challenging the illusion of unwavering support.

A Betrayal Beneath the Peace Talks

The Middle East teeters on the edge of transformation as the Abraham Accords expansion unfolds, but a disturbing truth emerges: Donald Trump and Binyamin Netanyahu’s leadership may be steering Israel toward a fatal compromise.

Promoted as a beacon of peace, this initiative risks handing Saudi Arabia unprecedented influence over Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site. This report exposes how their actions, often cloaked as support, could undermine Israel’s sovereignty, calling on the Jewish community and its allies to confront the deceptive narrative and protect the nation’s sacred capital.

The Abraham Accords Unveiled

A recent Israel Hayom article outlines an ambitious plan by former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. It promises to end Gaza’s conflict “within weeks,” with Egypt, the UAE, and others governing the territory and replacing Hamas, while hostages are freed and leaders exiled. The Abraham Accords are set to expand, incorporating Syria, Saudi Arabia, and other Arab and Muslim nations, fostering recognition of Israel. A conditional two-state solution hinges on Palestinian Authority reforms, with the U.S. acknowledging limited Israeli control in Judea and Samaria. An X post highlights a billboard campaign by the Israeli Coalition for Regional Security, promoting an “Abraham Alliance” amid a diminished Iranian threat. Yet, this framework raises questions about the true beneficiaries of their strategy, hinting at a deeper agenda beneath the surface.

The Temple Mount at Risk

Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site and Islam’s third most sacred, has been under Israeli sovereignty since 1967, with the Jordanian Waqf managing its Islamic sanctuaries under a fragile “status quo.” However, Saudi Arabia’s ambitions threaten this balance. In the 1980s, a $100 billion offer from Saudi businessmen to transform the region was contingent on flying their flag over the Temple Mount, rejected by Prime Minister Menachem Begin as a blatant overreach.

This bold rejection did little to deter Saudi aspirations, which have since evolved into a sophisticated campaign, leveraging diplomatic and economic pressure to erode Israel’s control. With a 2023 ambassador to the Palestinian Authority and consul in eastern Jerusalem, alongside economic aid to Jordan hinting at a Temple Mount barter, Saudi’s strategic push endangers Israel’s hold.

Alarms Sounding Over Manipulation

Disturbing signs suggest a deeper manipulation at play. Warnings indicate that exaggerated threats, such as Iran’s nuclear program—later contradicted by assessments—may be shaping public perception to justify concessions. Evidence points to Israel’s 2025 Iran campaign potentially serving Saudi dominance, with the nation bearing heavy costs while others reap the rewards. Forecasts warn that economic integration could cede control of the Temple Mount to Saudi Arabia within years, a prospect tied to broader geopolitical pacts. Historical patterns suggest these agreements may elevate Saudi influence, positioning Israel as a pawn in a larger game. This raises urgent questions about the intentions behind Trump and Netanyahu’s policies.

Trump’s Shifting Allegiances

Trump’s record casts doubt on his pro-Israel stance. His 2018 withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, lauded as a win, allegedly allowed Iran to near fissile material production, weakening Israel, as noted by Foreign Policy. This step, coupled with his Syria troop pullback that left Israel exposed—prompting Maj. Gen. Amiram Levin to warn of isolation—undermines his pro-Israel rhetoric.

Yet, symbolic gestures like recognizing Jerusalem’s capital status masked these risks, paving the way for his June 24, 2025, ceasefire with Iran, which crumbled amid continued clashes, and his May 2025 call to end the Gaza war, both suggesting a strategy favoring personal or Saudi gain over Israel’s defense.

Netanyahu’s Complicit Maneuvers

Netanyahu’s partnership with Trump amplifies these concerns. His coordination on Iran strikes, after initial resistance, hints at political expediency rather than Israel’s safety. His push for Abraham Accords expansion, potentially ceding Temple Mount influence, contradicts his rhetoric tailored for a Jewish audience. Coupled with his acquiescence to U.S.-Saudi pressures, these actions underscore a pattern of concessions that erode Israel’s sovereignty, revealing a troubling alignment with external pressures.

Unpacking the Threat

The Abraham Accords’ expansion, driven by Trump and Netanyahu, will tighten regional ties at a grave cost. Saudi’s historical and current pursuit of the Temple Mount, supported by these leaders’ policies, risks eroding Israel’s control. The “Trust Council” from Trump’s 2020 plan, with Saudi involvement, could shift power to Riyadh, a precedent fueled by manipulated perceptions and economic integration. This threatens Israel’s spiritual and national core, urging a reevaluation of trust in its leaders.

Illusions Shattered

The evidence lays bare a stark reality: Saudi Arabia’s relentless pursuit of the Temple Mount, enabled by Trump and Netanyahu’s misleading strategies, endangers Israel’s sovereignty. Their actions, from Iran policy steps to ceasefire inconsistencies, reveal a pattern that favors external powers, shattering the illusion of unwavering leadership. This could sever Israel’s spiritual lifeline, demanding that Jews and friends of Israel confront this betrayal and demand protection of its property.

Strategic Call to Action

To safeguard its existence, Israel must rise with unyielding resolve, free from the deceptive promises of Trump and Netanyahu. Strengthening its presence in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem through settlement and development will anchor its sovereignty. Maintaining full control over the Temple Mount and other holy sites is imperative, rejecting foreign meddling.

Fostering national unity and strategic foresight will build a bulwark against these threats.

Jews and friends of Israel must see through the leaders’ facade, ensuring the nation’s autonomy endures amidst this duplicitous shift.
