Jerusalem Talk

Israel was very happy with Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections, to the point that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went so far as to describe Trump’s victory as the greatest comeback in history. Ben-Gvir and Smotrich said: “God save America... God save Israel, and good luck Trump.” Netanyahu rushed to call Trump on the morning of November 6, New York time, to congratulate him in a call that lasted 20 minutes. There are many reasons behind this Israeli feeling of victory, and even if Kamala Harris had been the winner, American policy towards the Middle East would not have changed, because it is based on strategic principles, at the forefront of which is the issue of preserving Israel’s security, and strengthening the bonds of friendship and cooperation with it, as it is the United States’ largest partner and ally in the region. The first of these reasons is that Trump is characterized by impulsiveness and direct attacks, which gives Netanyahu and his ruling clique more time to continue the aggression on the Gaza Strip, and even intensify it, especially before Trump’s inauguration next January. This is a sufficient period for the Israeli Prime Minister to restructure the war from a new angle that may be long, especially since Israeli estimates indicate that the (obsessed) Trump will not pay attention to the issue of humanitarian aid, which concerns the Gaza Strip, and thus will allow Israel to continue its aggression until the end. Although Israeli analysts claim that Trump will quickly close the file of the Lebanese war, this issue does not go beyond the scope of estimates based on analyses that may most likely be inaccurate. Therefore, the war on Lebanon may also continue for a longer period, given the tactical step taken by Netanyahu to dismiss his Minister of Defense, Yoav Galant, and hand over the task of leading the army to Yisrael Katz, whose personality appears to be very extremist. He is inclined to expel the residents of Gaza and displace them from the Strip, and his ideas are in line with the extremists within the right-wing government who demand the elimination of Hamas and Hezbollah, considering them agents of Iran in the region. The most dangerous thing about Trump’s solutions to the American leadership is his constant quest to create a new Middle East according to his scale and with standards that will put the Palestinian issue before dangerous turns and challenges through his support only for an independent Palestinian entity far from the two-state solution, according to the deal of the century that Trump will try to reactivate, which the Palestinians have rejected and will reject again, because it means eliminating the cause of an entire people, in addition to the possibility of giving Israel the green light to impose its sovereignty over the West Bank, which is what the extremists in the Israeli government are seeking. As for Iran, there is a golden opportunity for Netanyahu to receive full support from Trump in an attempt to liquidate Iran’s nuclear programs. The United States may intervene directly if Trump acts rashly, which is an adventure that may be a trap set by Netanyahu to trap the new American president, especially since Trump will try with all his might to use the military option to end this file, because the option of peaceful negotiations does not appeal to Netanyahu and his government. All the time available until Trump's inauguration is time in Israel's favor, as we mentioned, to continue its rampage in the Middle East and its blatant aggression against the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. When Trump officially appears from the White House window, many questions will be raised about the future of the Middle East and the Palestinian cause. The answer seems to have been read from the title, which indicates that the Israelis' joy was not spontaneous, but rather there are many fundamental reasons behind it that confirm that Trump will be more Israeli than the Israelis themselves, and will give them more time to continue their satanic role in the region. However, if some wonder about the possibility of Netanyahu ending the war in Gaza early in Trump's term, this will be considered a gift to grant the new president a quick diplomatic victory, but on condition that joint coordination channels are maintained for many other conspiracies against the Palestinian cause in particular, and the future of the Middle East in general.
