Dear President Trump,

We write to you with gratitude for your unwavering support of Israel during your first term.

No American president has done more to recognize Jerusalem, affirm Israeli sovereignty, and stand up to Iran’s aggression. For that reason, we respectfully appeal to you regarding the potential revival of the “Peace to Prosperity” plan or any new proposal that includes Israel’s land concessions or the outline of a future Palestinian state.

When this vision was first introduced in January 2020, it was hailed by many as bold. But it included a significant shift: a detailed map of a future Palestinian state. This was not symbolic. It formalized an expectation that the heartland of Judea and Samaria is to be divided and handed over under international oversight. Even if the intent was to preserve Israel’s security, the blueprint suggested that the path to peace runs through surrender of territory that has historical, legal, and biblical significance to the Jewish people.

We are deeply concerned that such an approach may again be taking shape. A phased plan with Arab state buy-in, tied to Palestinian reforms, still moves toward division. Israel’s right to these territories was recognized in 1967 and remains uncontested under historical precedent. Peace cannot be secured by redrawing these lines.

We have seen what followed the initial rollout. While causality is complex, the sequence was undeniable. National disruption, economic upheaval, and political confusion surged in the months after the map was released. At minimum, it deserves caution. And at most, it demands a serious reevaluation.

We respectfully present the following ten points for your reflection:

TEN CORE POINTS:

1. Israel’s land is covenant land. Dividing it has consistently led to instability and consequences (Genesis 15:18; Joel 3:2).

2. Gaza was relinquished for peace. It was turned into a launchpad for attacks. It is now being retaken at a great cost.

3. No president or nation can override the historic, legal, and biblical title to Judea and Samaria.

4. The consequences following the first plan’s release on January 28, 2020 —whether political or providential—were deeply disruptive.

5. Proposals based on conditional two-state frameworks, even phased, still project division.

6. The Abraham Accords stopped Israel’s sovereignty over 132 Jewish communities. That stop should not become permanent policy.

7. Land division has not produced peace—it has entrenched hostility.

8. Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria is lawful under international law, not an obstacle to peace.

9. U.S. policy should affirm Israel’s security and integrity—not pressure it into future withdrawals.

10. This is a decisive moment to strengthen Israel’s sovereignty, not place it back on the table.

Mr. President, we urge you to consider the precedent and resist any initiative—however repackaged—that asks Israel to give up its land in exchange for uncertain promises.

We believe the United States is at its best when it stands with clarity and conviction alongside Israel—not drawing maps, but defending them.

Respectfully,

Michele Bachmann
