WATCH: NETANYAHU PUSHES BACK AGAINST TRUMP’S MOVE TO ESTABLISH A “PALESTINIAN” STATE by David Mark
November 16, 2025 Israel Unwired
It is no secret that the Trump administration, in the hope of luring Saudi Arabia into a normalization agreement with Israel, put clause 19 in the now vaunted 21-point “peace plan.” Clause 19 states: “Once the Palestinian Authority’s reform plan is implemented, conditions may be achieved for a path toward self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state. The United States will facilitate dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for coexistence in peace and prosperity.”

While most people have assumed this clause is a big nothing burger, it has been reported that Washington intends to include it in the draft to be voted on by the UN Security Council, meaning it will be binding.
In response to the report, Defense Minister Katz said the following: “The policy of Israel is clear: no Palestinian state will be established,” Katz wrote. “The IDF will remain on Mount Hermon and in the security zone. Gaza will be demilitarized down to the last tunnel, and Hamas will be disarmed-on the Israeli-controlled side by the IDF, and in old Gaza either by an international force or by the IDF.”
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir responded, “There is no such thing as ‘a Palestinian people’. This is an invention that has no historical, archaeological or factual basis. A collection of immigrants from Arab countries to the Land of Israel are not a people. And certainly they do not deserve a reward for the terror, murder, and atrocities they sowed everywhere, and especially from Gaza – the place where they received self-rule,” he clarified.
“The only real solution in Gaza is encouragement of voluntary migration, and certainly not a state that rewards terror, which would be a base for continued terror. Otzma Yehudit will not be part of any government that agrees to that. I call on the Prime Minister to clarify that the State of Israel will not allow the establishment of a Palestinian state in any form,” he added.
Others in the Likud and the right have also publicly pushed against the US plan. By the end of today, Prime Minister Netanyahu had no choice but to clarify his government’s position and answered with this: “Our opposition to a Palestinian state on any part of this territory has not changed in the slightest.”
With the UNSC vote expected soon, the real question is: will the Trump administration back off from clause 19, or will it push it forward? If it does, can Bibi’s coalition survive? Netanyahu believes that the so-called “palestinians” will never live up to their end of the deal. Yet, that is a mistake. Trump’s team doesn’t care about the “palestinians.” What they care about is regional deals, and for that, truth takes a back seat.
[Ed.: The problem with Trump is that he doesn’t know history, and is totally clueless about the Middle East. Worse yet, is, he thinks that we (Israel) are a vassal state, a banaqnaq republic and that he can boisterously and arrogantly tell us what to do with our enemies.
CAN’T BE BORN IN ISRAEL, IN CANADA
November 16, 2025 Yeshiva World News
A Canadian-Israeli woman says she was barred from listing Israel as her birthplace on her Canadian passport application — a move her lawyer calls a “serious legal, administrative, and human rights concern” tied to the Canadian government’s recent recognition of a Palestinian state.
The woman, who publicly shared her experience on X, said a Passport Canada employee informed her that she was no longer permitted to write “Israel” as her country of birth. “These are the clear consequences of the current government and leadership in power,” she wrote.

Path to Palestinian state ‘may finally be in place,’ American draft of UN resolution says MIKE WAGENHEIM
“The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence,” per the draft.
November 14, 2025 JNS – The latest in a series of drafts that Washington has penned of a resolution to the United Nations Security Council suggests the Trump administration believes “conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” after the Palestinian Authority undergoes reforms and Gaza’s reconstruction is “advanced.”
The draft, which JNS viewed, offers no sense of a timeline for a vote, although the Trump administration reportedly wants infrastructure up and running by year’s end for an international stabilization force for the Strip, which would be at the center of the resolution.
Earlier in the week, an American draft text removed a provision that would have deemed groups found guilty of “misuse” of aid “ineligible to provide ongoing or future assistance,” which was widely seen as an effort to bar the U.N. Relief and Works Agency over its Hamas ties.
Other revisions this week stated that the Israeli military will only begin a phased Gaza withdrawal in line with “benchmarks and timetables to be determined jointly with the security forces, the guarantor states and the United States.” Limited Israeli security presence would remain to defend against “any resurgent terror threat,” it states.
Washington is trying to codify the creation of an international force in Gaza via the Security Council. The resolution, if passed, would give it and partner countries a broad mandate to govern and secure the Strip through the end of 2027, if not longer.
Key language remains under debate in the second revision of the document. Washington hasn’t publicly defined which precise demands it has of the Palestinian Authority. The draft that JNS saw refers to reforms “as outlined in various proposals.”
“The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence,” it states. (JNS sought comment from the Israeli mission to the global body.)
A spokesman for the U.S. mission to the global body said on Thursday that “we urge the Security Council to seize this historic moment to pave a path towards enduring peace in the Middle East by supporting this resolution.”
The spokesman added that any effort to “sow discord now, when agreement on this resolution is under active negotiation, has grave, tangible and entirely avoidable consequences for Palestinians in Gaza” and that the ceasefire is “fragile.”
Although the spokesman didn’t name any countries, the remark seemed to refer to a new Russian draft resolution, which asks António Guterres, the U.N. secretary-general, to “identify options to effectively implement” U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan.
The Russian version does not mention the Peace Board, which Trump has said he would lead and which Washington wants to serve as a transitional Gazan authority.
Any resolution needs the support of at least nine of the Security Council’s 15 members and must avoid a veto by any of the five permanent members, including the United States, Russia and China.
