Trump’s Gaza Trap: Occupiers Return to War.
Abdul Bari Atwan, editor of the trans-regional newspaper Rai al-Youm and a prominent Palestinian analyst, dedicated the new editorial of this electronic newspaper to the US efforts to expand the normalization project in the region, as well as the Zionist deception with Washington’s support to resume the war against Gaza, and wrote: When US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox Business on Friday that the Abraham Accords (normalization agreements between Arab countries and the Zionist regime) are on the verge of expansion after the cessation of the war in the Gaza Strip, we were not surprised.
Trump’s trap for the Arabs in the Gaza ceasefire case
Abdul Bari Atwan added: Trump expressed hope that Saudi Arabia and Indonesia may join the compromise agreements with Israel after his contacts with the officials of these countries. This wish of Trump has been expressed several times during his first term as well as the new term. We also heard several responses from Saudi officials to Trump’s demand, emphasizing that a Palestinian state must be established before any ties between Riyadh and Israel can be established.
The Palestinian writer continued: “But has anything new happened today and has there been a change in Saudi Arabia’s position?” Saudi officials have not yet responded to Trump’s request, but what strengthens the possibility that there will be no change in Saudi Arabia’s position is that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not attend the recent Sharm el-Sheikh summit, and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan was not among the signatories to the Gaza ceasefire agreement document as proposed by Trump at the end of the summit.
The article continues by stating that the signatures for this document were limited to Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the president of the host country, Egypt, along with Trump and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Egypt and Türkiye are countries that still maintain normal relations with the Zionists. It is worth noting that Trump refuses to recognize the two-state solution in Palestine and strongly opposed the conference organized by Saudi Arabia and France in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly to discuss this solution. At this conference, nearly 150 countries recognized the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, but Trump tried to disrupt this process.
According to the note, the planned visit of Mohammed bin Salman to Washington next November and the talks that will take place during this trip between Saudi and American officials, and in the light of possible agreements and treaties, we may find answers to many questions; especially considering rumors that the two sides may sign a joint defense agreement similar to the US-Qatar agreement; that is, an agreement according to which any attack on Qatar is considered an attack on the United States.
