    Miguel Angel Moratinos

    Working with Javier Solana, who was then Spanish foreign minister, Moratinos helped prepare the Euro-Mediterranean dialogue launched in November 1995 in Barcelona.[3]
    Between 1996 and 2003, Moratinos was the European Union Special Representative for the Middle East,[4] based in Cyprus and Brussels.[5] In this capacity, he attended most meetings of EU foreign ministers.[6] During his time in office, the European Union – which had already been the biggest financial contributor to the region – he also became increasingly vocal about Israeli-Palestinian relations

    Second up will be Pres. Trump and his main focus will be (They seem to be on the same page)

    President Trump to Deliver Religious Freedom Message at United Nations

    https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/politic...united-nations

    Statement from the Press Secretary
    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings...-secretary-78/

    The phrase "inclusive" is being used in some articles.
    The other note of interest is the fact VP Pence is going to be with Pres. Trump

    Yesterday at the Warsaw Summit. Speech by VP Mike Pence

    “Today, Jews, Christians and Muslims, more than half the world’s population, and nearly all the people of the Middle East claim Abraham as their forefather in faith. And so he is.”
    “I believe on that foundation of that Abrahamic tradition, we can find a firm foundation for a brighter future for all the people and all the faiths of the middle east. It doesn’t just simply have to be a part of our imagination. It is actually happening as we speak.”
    “We need to look no further than the old city of Jerusalem as an example of what could be true for the region as a whole. There we see the followers of three great religions in constant contact with one another. We see each faith come together in new and renewed ways every day. “
    “At Haram al-Sharif (The Dome of the Rock) we see young Muslims with their heads bowed in prayer. AT the Church of the Sepulcher we see a Christian child receiving her baptism. At the Western Wall, we see a young Jewish boy being Bar Mitzvahed.”
    “What we see there, we can achieve all across the Middle East.”
    “That is the vision that President Trump has. That is the hope and aspiration of peace-loving people in our nation and around the world.”
    “I think we would do well to look to a promise that was made to that man I referred to who made that journey so many centuries ago. It was a promise in those ancient words I will surely bless you. I believe with all my heart that we can claim that blessing anew for all the people of this region, for ourselves and our posterity. I believe God will surely bless us with peace. So let us begin.”

    Hang in there when Trump starts talking as a translator made a mistake for a minute.



    "That's very sad in many ways," he said. The President also called the issue one of his "highest priorities."
    Additionally, he asked "the governments of the world to honor the eternal right of every person to follow their conscience, live by their faith, and give glory to God."

      “This is the first time this has been done, Trump said. “This initiative will encourage the private sector to protect people of all faith in the workplace, and the private sector has brilliant leadership. Too often, people in positions of power preach diversity while silencing, shunning or censoring the faithful. True tolerance means respecting the right of all people to express their deeply held religious beliefs.”

          If you stop and think about it, Pres. Trump has just thrown himself at the top of list as the defender of all holy sites. This would include the churches/the Wall in Jerusalem and the mosque on the Temple Mount. The only place the third Temple people would be allowed to build is beside the mosque.

            the Holy place will be separated from the profane place by a wall !!! Ezekiel 42:20
