Senior member of Trump team said to tell Israelis: Western Wall is not your territory
Bitter diplomatic spat over Jews’ holiest place of prayer reported during preparation for president’s visit; Netanyahu’s office said seeking clarification from DC

In a bitter diplomatic incident, a senior member of the US delegation making preparations for Donald Trump’s visit to Israel next week angrily rejected a request that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accompany the president when he visits the Western Wall, and then sniped at his Israeli counterparts that the Western Wall is “not your territory. It’s part of the West Bank,” Israeli television reported on Monday night.

Starting to wonder about the agenda of the Trump administration and Jared Kushner.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

It was General HR McMaster...not sure why that isn't made clear in the reporting.

Actually the CR link does name McMasters but he was not the official that made the offensive statement to Israel in the first place.  All they say is Trump official.  My best bet is Jared Kushner.  That is his mission to make peace between Israel and Palestinians.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NIV)
[3] Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. [4] He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 

Daniel 9:27 (NIV)
[27] He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him".
