In light of the recent developments surrounding President Donald Trump’s peace plan, there is increasing concern about the safety of Eretz Yisroel. Now is the time to let President Trump know what you think about it.

In light of the recent developments surrounding President Donald Trump’s peace plan – which places Israel’s long-term security under international or foreign military guarantees – there is increasing concern about the safety of Eretz Yisroel. Recent comments by the President leave room for outside influence in Gaza’s future governance, including Hamas maintaining direct or indirect footholds or influence.
Now is the time to let President Trump know what you think about it.
Below is a letter sent to the President that can be copied, pasted, or adapted as needed. Letters can be submitted through whitehouse.gov/contact.

To the honorable President Donald J. Trump
Dear Mr. President,
May G-d Almighty bless you and give you many more healthy years to lead America and the rest of the world toward even greater success. As a Jewish American citizen, I feel personally grateful to you for your strong support of religious belief, of my people, and of my brethren in the holy land of Israel.
As such, I cannot hold back from expressing the pain on my heart and my grave concern regarding what is currently unfolding in Gaza.
First, Hamas is not merely a hostile faction—it is a genocidal terrorist organization committed to the destruction of innocent lives. They are a cancer on civilization. Allowing them any influence or territorial foothold—directly or indirectly—would only guarantee more bloodshed. The only way to ensure lasting safety and peace is by completely crushing them—total annihilation of their military and governing capabilities.
Second, placing Israel’s long-term security under foreign military guarantees is a dangerous and historically repeated mistake. External protection has failed the Jewish people many times, often with tragic consequences. Israel’s survival cannot hinge on the political shifts, strategic limits, or changing interests of other nations. The honorable President strives to make long-lasting changes. The only way peace will endure is through strength, and that requires Israel to stand up to all political pressure and maintain full military control of the area. This is for the long-term benefit of America, the EU, and the rest of the civilized world.
I end with a prayer to G-d that He ushers in the era when “no nation will lift a sword against another.” I also pray for the dear President’s well-being. May G-d Almighty allow these words to be of assistance, and may we merit true and lasting peace.
Thank you, Mr. President, for all the great things you are doing for America, and for your steadfast commitment to strong values, freedom of faith, and the security of our allies.
Respectfully,

trump could just bomb hamas and boom thats how you make peace cause hamas will be gone
“The only way to ensure lasting safety and peace is by completely crushing them—total annihilation of their military and governing capabilities.”
President Trump has been telling Israel to do that.
Israeli government refuses!
I think this is a very interesting way to get the message out, (in a good way.) on thing i think is that it would be proper to include the rebbe opinion on the matter, being that the Rebbe put many hours in to speaking and writing about this.
I’m sure if you do it right , you can fit in a very nice letter or Sicha that can bring out the point.
And i think it would make a big kiddush Lubavitch.
I wrote the following comment in this news report https://anash.org/egypt-knowingly-misled-israel-in-oct-7-massacre/ . I guess the Rebbe’s words still need to be heard and clearly understood .
The US President, who has BS”D done much for Eretz Yisroel and the Yidden, doing all he can to claim a peace prize, which is fine. It is the Israeli leaders who need help and common sense. Read below:
—————————————————————-
1. On the Responsibility of Israeli Leaders
In a letter to Israeli leaders, the Rebbe wrote:
“The responsibility of safeguarding Eretz Yisroel, and especially the Holy City of Yerushalayim, lies squarely with you, the leaders of the Jewish State. You are entrusted with the task of ensuring the security and welfare of the Jewish people in this Holy Land, and this is not a task that can be compromised by foreign pressures or political calculations.”
1967 Letter (Post-Six-Day War):
In this letter, the Rebbe wrote to Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol (and others) in the aftermath of the Six-Day War:
“It is now clearer than ever that the security of Eretz Yisroel and the Jewish people is ultimately in the hands of the leaders of Eretz Yisroel, and that the primary task of these leaders is to ensure the physical and spiritual safety of the Jewish people. The Jewish nation has been given this land by Hashem, and it is the sacred duty of those in charge to defend it with all their strength, as it is an act of both self-preservation and fulfillment of the Divine commandment.”
2. On the Importance of Security and Pikuach Nefesh:
The Rebbe frequently referenced the halachic concept of pikuach nefesh (the preservation of life) in relation to Israeli policy decisions. One famous quote from a 1967 sicha highlights this:
“If the leaders of Israel fail to defend the land and the people with all their might, this is not just a political failure; it is a failure in the most fundamental aspect of Jewish law—preserving life. Pikuach nefesh is the highest priority, and it is inconceivable that any concession that endangers Jewish lives could be justified.”
3. On the Dangers of Land Concessions:
In a famous letter written to the Israeli government in the 1990s during the Oslo Accords negotiations, the Rebbe expressed his concern about giving away land:
“The giving away of land in the Holy Land—no matter what the circumstances—will inevitably lead to the loss of life, both spiritually and physically. Any attempt to divide the Land of Israel is in direct contradiction to Torah teachings, and no one, no government, has the right to make such a decision.”
4. On Criticism of Israeli Government vs. External Critics:
In a series of talks during the 1980s, the Rebbe made it clear that while he had no qualms about criticizing Israeli leadership, he did not believe that external figures—like foreign leaders or presidents—should be the ones criticizing Israel’s policies:
“When others criticize Israel, especially foreign nations, it is often motivated by political interests or anti-Semitic sentiments. However, when the leaders of Israel fail in their duty to protect the Jewish people, it is a different matter. Their failure has consequences not just for the Jewish people but for the whole world, because the existence of Eretz Yisroel is a fundamental part of Hashem’s plan for the world.”
5. The Rebbe’s Call for Strong Leadership:
Finally, in a 1979 letter, the Rebbe wrote to a prominent Israeli political figure:
“The time has come for the leaders of Israel to lead with strength and resolve, not out of fear of outside forces or temporary political gain, but in line with the eternal values of the Torah. Only then will the Jewish people and the Eretz Yisroel be truly secure.”
