The Bible says that the Israeli leaders will do a Land for peace deal with the EUs influence. In Joel we see this is why WW3 occurs because Gods land is parted from Israelis.
Joel 3:2,9-16
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
This is the 3RD WAVE of WW3 when all nations come to destroy Israel and Jerusalem, but God protects Israel and destroys these People. So we see where this land giving up by Israeli leaders and false peace treaty will lead to in the near future.

JERUSALEM - Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert plans to withdraw from more West Bank settlements immediately after forming Israel's next government and to set Israel's final borders within four years if it wins upcoming elections, a top political ally said Sunday in the most explicit statement yet of Olmert's plans.
Border-setting is the key agenda of the Israeli leader's Kadima Party, which holds a commanding lead ahead of the March 28 parliamentary vote. Olmert has said that should negotiation efforts fail, he would draw Israel's borders unilaterally, continuing a process started
over the summer when the Israelis evacuated the Gaza Strip and four small West Bank settlements.
The Hamas victory in Palestinian elections last month made that more likely, a senior Kadima member said, spelling out Kadima's withdrawal plans more clearly than past statements.
Avi Dichter, a former security chief and a top Olmert ally, said Israel will dismantle more West Bank settlements — but maintain a military presence in the evacuated areas."It will be only a civilian disengagement, not a military disengagement," he told Israel Radio.
Despite the absence of Ariel Sharon, who remains comatose after suffering a stroke earlier this year, the centrist party he founded, Kadima, is expected to win the elections and keep Olmert at the helm. Assuming that happens, work on the pullout will begin immediately after a new government is installed, Dichter said. The entire process of setting final borders would take about four years, he said."In the absence of a Palestinian partner, Israel will have to determine its final borders by itself, and that will involve the consolidation of smaller settlements into settlement blocs," he said.
Olmert will seek crucial U.S. backing for the four-year plan, Dichter added. A senior official close to Olmert, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give details to the media, said such a disengagement was an option, but policy would be determined only after the election. Palestinians led by Hamas denounced the plan. "This is another indication of Israeli policy, which ignores the existence of the Palestinian people," said lawmaker Salah Bardawil, spokesman for Hamas' parliamentary faction.
"Once again, Israel is threatening to adopt unilateral measures that vindicate Hamas' view that there is no partner in Israel who seeks real peace, and that Israel used negotiations in previous years as a pretext to ignore and stall the granting of Palestinian rights," Bardawil said. Nearly two years ago, President Bush said a final peace deal would have to recognize "demographic realities" on the ground — meaning Israel would not be expected to withdraw completely to the borders it held before capturing the West Bank and east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war because of large settlement blocs it built in the meantime.
The Palestinians claim all of the West Bank and east Jerusalem as part of a future independent state. Dichter did not specify which settlements might be evacuated in the first stage. But the Yediot Ahronot newspaper, in an item citing Dichter, reported earlier Sunday that at least 17 settlements would be evacuated in the first stage — including some that are most militantly committed to a Jewish presence in the West Bank.
About 16,000 of Israel's 254,000 settlers live in these communities. Jewish settler leaders have vowed to fight any evacuation plan. After a largely passive resistance in Gaza, settlers clashed
fiercely with security forces who dismantled nine homes in an unauthorized West Bank settlement outpost in January. More than 200 people, most of them security forces, were wounded. Benny Katzover, head of the Elon Moreh settlement, one of the most extreme communities mentioned in the newspaper report, said further withdrawals would not be as peaceful as the Gaza pullout.
"There is no reason why we shouldn't be beaten and suffer ... and stop this process with our bodies," Katzover told Israel's Army Radio. Olmert has said Israel would hold on to three major settlement blocs and the Jordan River Valley, but he has not said which of the more than 120 remaining West Bank settlements he would be ready to quit first. All four, except the Ariel bloc, 10 miles inside the West Bank, are close to Israel's border. Yediot reported Israel also would
hold onto three other smaller settlement areas, including the volatile settlement in the heart of Hebron and nearby Kiryat Arba.
In the Gaza evacuation, Israel pulled out both settlers and soldiers, then handed over the territory to the Palestinian Authority, which has failed to stop attacks from the coastal strip.
The Israelis maintained a military presence in the four emptied West Bank settlements and will do so in future evacuations, Dichter said. "All the territories that will be emptied of Israeli settlers will remain in the hands of the military and the security establishment in order to continue to prevent terrorism in every refugee camp, and every neighborhood and every market of every Palestinian town — until the Palestinian Authority will be a partner as Israel views a partner," he said. Dichter said Israel would pursue its unilateral withdrawals over the next four years, "in the hope that a Palestinian partner, whom Israel could trust, would emerge in this time."
Israel, backed by the United States and the European Union, has said it will have no ties with a Hamas-led government unless the group, which is sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state, renounces violence, recognizes Israel and accepts past peace agreements. Hamas, which has rejected those conditions, hopes to form a Cabinet later this month. It has been courting the ousted Fatah Party of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to join the coalition, but Fatah, which favors negotiating a final peace deal, is inclined to stay in the opposition.
