Christian state of Jerusalem is needed – ex-Trump adviser

A “three-state root” is requisite to terminate the state of war in Gaza and take peace to the region, which would include a “Christian state,” according to Steve Bannon, a former adviser to US President Donald Trump and podcaster.
During his ‘War Room’ podcast on Friday, Bannon said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to realize his vision of a “Greater Israel” – a concept based on biblical land that stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates. Critics link Netanyahu to the idea, citing his rejection of a Palestinian state and continued expansion of settlements in the West Bank as proof of the de facto pursuit of this.
“This Greater Israel project of Netanyahu blew up in his face… [It] destroyed Israel. And this is why now you have to go to a three-state solution, and one of those states has to be the Christian state of Jerusalem,” Bannon said. “We need a Christian state in the Holy Land. You just need it to make sure 20, 25, 30 years from now everything’s kind of sorted.”

Bannon made similar remarks earlier this month, saying peace in Gaza “can’t work” with only “the Muslims and the Jews.” He has not provided details on how a Christian state would be formed or why it would stabilize the region.
He argued that neither Israel – a “protectorate” and “vassal state” of the US – nor Hamas, which he called “a minor player,” would shape Gaza’s future in the long run. In his view, Qatar would fund Gaza’s reconstruction while Türkiye serves as its “security force.”
The former adviser went on to say that although the US has not explicitly endorsed Palestinian statehood in Trump’s peace plan, the framework implies what he called “a proto-Palestinian state,” suggesting that Washington could eventually recognize it as sovereign.
Israel and Hamas agreed to a tentative ceasefire in early October under Trump’s 20-point peace plan, which calls for a phased Israeli withdrawal, humanitarian aid access, Hamas’ disarmament, and a demilitarized Gaza under an interim Palestinian administration overseen by an international “Board of Peace.” Despite mutual accusations of violations, both sides reaffirmed their commitment to the truce this week.
