Middle East Diplomacy is nothing more than Ultimate Deceit!

Genesis 3:7,8 – And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. [8] And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam
and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
When both Adam and Eve sinned they initiated the first act of the art of diplomacy – They tried to cover up the truth with human diplomacy, and
then to hide the truth from the originator and keeper of truth.
Romans 3:4 – God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Unfortunately, international diplomacy, as it is practiced today, has more of the Devil then God in it.
John 8:44 – Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Armageddon is where all of man’s diplomacy will culminate as the product of man’s wisdom in the not too distant future.
Revelation 16:16 – And he g athered them together into
a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
The Christ of truth will return to end Armageddon and begin a new era of peace for a thousand years, where all diplomacy will be based upon him and his truth. The son of Man is God’s Sun of Righteousness, who will judge mankind at Armageddon, then heal the mess that man’s diplomacy has made since Adam.
Luke 21:25-27 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Malachi 4:1-3 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
Jesus the King will establish diplomacy of truth for all mankind.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
This is what God’s diplomacy will establish from the mountain of his government in Israel among
the mountain governments of
the Millennial world.
Isaiah 2:1-5 – The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. [2] And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
[3] And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. [4] And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [5] O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
The three articles from YNet News, which follow, were extracted from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. They are terrific articles, and the writers describe quite accurately the motivations of deceit behind the diplomatic negotiation currently under way in the Middle East. The smoke and mirrors of both international and local diplomacy have hidden or reflected any hope of a peace based on truth.
Syria Talks Would Legitimize Damascus Internationally
Dore Gold
According to Israel’s experience with Egypt, a stable agreement is ensured first and foremost by securing quiet between Israel and its neighbors as a precondition to substantive talks.
At the time, Cairo was not home to terror organizations’ headquarters, and terrorists did not cross the border in order to carry out attacks. Today, too, Israel must ensure that Syria first dismantles terror groups and training camps in its territory, thus proving both to Israel and the U.S. that it is serious in its desire to reach peace.
What does Israel have to lose should it engage in talks with Syria in order to test the seriousness of its intention
s? Photos from the negotiations would be used as a “kosher certificate” for Damascus in the eyes of the international community, at a time when Washington is making an effort to create a coalition that would press Syria to change its conduct towards Iraq, Lebanon, and the Palestinians.

Syria Hallucinations: Assad Won’t Be Disengaging from Iran or Hizballah
Zalman Shoval
As the chief of
the Mossad made clear, Syria is not looking for peace with Israel, but rather the preservation of a limited state of war that allows the Alawite minority in Damascus to justify its continued dictatorship.
Shiite Iran serves as an “insurance policy” for the Alawite regime against its internal and external enemies. Iran has replaced the Soviet Union, which played this role for Syria in the past.
Moreover, can anyone imagine that Syria would accept the demand to end its support for Hizballah when the organization is the main tool used to advance Syria’s plans in Lebanon?

Prime Minister’s Office: No Negotiations with Syria as Long as It Supports Terror
Ronny Sofer (Ynet News)
“There will be no negotiations, as long as Syria continues to support terror and to be involved in the axis of evil,” a senior official in the Prime Minister’s Office clarified Tuesday.
“Syria in its deeds and in Assad’s deeds proves that it stands behind Damascus’ four crimes:
(1) Arms smuggling to Hizballah in Lebanon while violating UN Resolution 1701;
(2) Sheltering [Hamas leader] Khaled Mashaal and the terror organizations in the Syrian capital in a bid to thwart any move for peace and release [kidnapped IDF soldier] Gilad Shalit on the Palestinian route;
(3) Increasingly close connections with Tehran, which calls for Israel’s destruction;
(4) Active involvement in terror attacks carried out in Iraq against the Americans.”
“These acts prove that the Syrians are still deep inside the axis of evil and have not changed their ways. As long as they fail to change their deeds, we have no reason to start discussing the possibilities of negotiations,” a diplomatic source in the Prime Minister’s Office said.
