Trump and Netanyahu’s 20-Point Gaza Ultimatum

In a long and incoherent speech, President Trump called his proposed peace plan “The whole deal, everything is decided … peace in the Middle East”. Standing next to the grinning Israeli prime minister, he said that this is a “historical day for the world.” In fact, according to him, it will be “one of the great days in civilization.” A lot of smiles, many commercials for the continuous campaign of Trump “I deserve the Nobel Prize of the World”.

Many things – with the exception of compliance with any of the Israeli obligations. In addition to responsibility. With the exception of international law. In addition to justice. Even some kind of guarantee of the actual end of the genocide or the suffering of Palestinians in gas. Instead, as even one New York Times Title recognizedThe plan for 20 points “offers Netanyahu [a] Victory circle.

If you scan the text quickly enough, there are some potentially encouraging words. “The war will end right away.” “Israeli forces will leave.” “Military operations will be suspended.” “All hostages, alive and dead, will be returned.” And “Israel will release 250 lifelong conclusions, plus 1700 Gazan, who were detained after October 7, 2023, including all detained women and children.” Also: “Israel will not occupy or attach to the gas application.” “Distribution and assistance in the gas sector will continue without interference.”

All this sounds like a huge relief for Palestinian suffering under the bombing, hunger, dislocation and destruction of the almost two -year Israeli genocide. But: a little more careful reading shows restrictions. It is assumed that the Israeli forces go away, but only to the line inside Gas, agreeing on the United States and Israel, where they will remain indefinitely. The release of all hostages is installed 72 hours after signing the agreement, but Israel is not required to free any Palestinian prisoners while after All his hostages were returned. Who will use this if Israel reacts?

Israel may not officially annexes gas, but the Israeli armed forces will remain occupational force into an uncertain future and will only begin to conditionally and partially leave as “international power of stability” – military personnel who will arrive to seize the territory – “establishes control”. And that international forces should not be confused with the forces of protection, authorized to protect 2 million people in gas from the destructive genocide of Israeli genocide, occupation and apartheid; Its officially declared goal is that the gas “no longer pose a threat” to Israel or Egypt.

And, oh, yes, this is a critical statement that “the war will immediately end” and “all military operations, including air and artillery bombing, will be suspended”? Who is going to ensure that if Israel decides, after all the hostages are released, ignore the rest of the agreement and return to the full -scale genocide, since Netanyahu clearly made it clear that his intention?

Indeed, in complex consent, out of 20 separate, and sometimes conflicting points, only six have some kind of attitude to the termination of genocide – and they are not very solid. The rest are all about how the “new gas” will be controlled, what it is called by the agreement (various Israeli, the USA, the British and other external international forces under the joint control of Trump and Tony Blair) and how its economy will be restored (international financiers and barons of real estate). The role of the “New Gaza” in the region and the world will be determined “does not pose a threat to its neighbors or its people.” This will be guaranteed by regional partners, that is, the Arab governments and the future international force of stability, whose work will “ensure that Hamas and factions fulfill their obligations” to be good in the neighborhood.

If anyone actually looked at the threats or destabilization of Gaza's neighbors, it can be useful to list seven countries throughout the region that Israel has bombed in the last few months – Qatar, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Palestine – and ask who guarantees who guarantees that Israel “Corresponds to his obligations” so as not to pose a threat to their neighbors. But the agreement does not refer to this.

Ultimately, the Palestinians will not be able to say in their own land. With the disarmament of Hamas (how and from whom and in what terms that will be determined, fulfilled, it is confirmed, it remains unclear), the gas will first manage the “temporary transitional … technocratic, apolitical Palestinian Committee” in “qualified Palestinians and international experts”.

In the course of the 2001 “democratic management” painfully reminiscent of experiments, and Iraqi “democratic management”, chosen by the United States, tested for the United States and established in the United States, who provided the indigenous peoples for Washington’s indigenous forces, which the “Transition” committee will control the recently created American team, not immortal, except Blair, connected to the tonsure of Blaire, like a tonsil, like a tonsil. Pro-Control. In the Orwell version of the “New Gas” of the Iraqi controlled US coalition, this team will be called the “Council of World”. Its role will be to “restore and charge the energy of the Gaza”, relying on the “plan of the economic development of Trump”.

There is an indefinite and rather confusing reference to a small potential future role of Palestinian authorities, but only after it “completed its reform program, as described in various sentences, including the world of President Trump in 2020 and the proposal of Saudi French” … ”This means that the United States and his allies will determine when, and from the one that is limited), the degree that will have any role, which will have any role, And in the fact that both in this and that is better.

When he took his victorious knees home, He assured his extreme right The office that the link to the Palestinian state was “ambiguous” and that they do not need to worry about the fact that Palestinian power plays a role. “Palestinian power (PA) came out,” he said. “Even in the“ Council for the World ”, representatives of Pa will not be appointed. Israel and the USA – those who decide whether it will comply with the conditions, and there is a whole wall of conditions. ” Of course, the Palestinian civil society is never mentioned. Also not final activities, apartheid or colonial settlement.

It is important to note that the plan also does not promise the constant termination of the Israeli war. On the contrary, Neatanyahu-positive, but significantly vague answers to Trump during their joint press conference on September 29 (without questions from the press) left enough space for completely different posts, as soon as he returned home to his extremist right base.

It should not be surprising that Trump’s widely thought-out peaceful proposal was a powerful victory for the Israeli authorities, even postponing decades of financial and military support of the United States, which allows the Israeli genocide. In accordance with A The times of IsraelBy the time Netanyahu left the White House after his meeting with Trump, he was triumphant. In Hebrew videoHe gloated: “Now the whole world, including the Arabic and Muslim world, forces Hamas to accept the terms that we created with Trump to return all the hostages – living and the dead – while the IDF remains in most lanes,” he said. – Who would believe that?!

An earlier proposal draft was provided to the intermediaries of Qatar and Egypt, as well as other Arab and Muslim states, about a week before the public announcement, and they agreed to support this deal. But later, Netanyahu demanded and won significant new concessions in negotiations with the son-in-law of Trump Jared Kushner and his friend in real estate-kum-Envoy Steve Vitcoff.

Kushner played a central role in organizing the agreements of Abraham 2020, which led to the fact that several Arab governments agreed to normalize relations with Israel in exchange for large weapons of the United States, trade transactions and diplomatic compromises, while the abandonment of long -standing Arab persistence, that Israel should put an end to the occupation before normalization may occur. And this role, apparently, was compared with his participation in the redistribution of Trump's offer at 20 points to include additional requirements of Netanyahu for concessions.

Eat Reports That, at least, some of the eight Arab and Muslim governments, which initially welcomed Trump's proposal, were angry for the last minute, introduced after they agreed. In accordance with Drop Site NewsEgyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdel Aati said that Trump's plan “contains many positive elements”, but added: “There are also elements that require extensive discussion, and, as they say, the devil in details. Therefore, these issues should be discussed in the depths in order to achieve consensus, especially in relation to the implementation on Earth. ”

Given their dependence on the United States and the desire to maintain the trajectory of Abraham, it remains unlikely, but not impossible, that some or all of them can withdraw their earlier adoption of Trump's proposal. Regardless of whether they do it or not, it is likely that this transaction, like Abraham's agreements, is more connected with Trump's desire to change the Middle East around the US axis/Israel/Israel/Arab Gulf, which, with anything resembling peace or even the end of the Palestinants Genocide.

We still do not know how Hamas will respond to this proposal. The restrictions in it are clear – both in the uncertainty about the fact that this will actually put an end to the direct military attack of the Israeli military and genocide hunger throughout the gas, and in the likely future of the vague foreign occupation of the gas, while the actual annexation of the western shore continues. Which is also clear is the denial of the Palestinian Agency. Moreover, the legacy of Israeli violations of the ceasefire – in Lebanon for decades, just a few months ago in gas – they have few reasons to adopt the declared agreement of Tel Aviv at the cost.

And yet. Genocide attacks and death due to hunger caused by hunger are continuing. Children, elders and many others continue to die, on average more than 100 every day. We cannot know how someone-date, the long-standing components of the Palestinian national movement, or hundreds of thousands of people are simply trying their best to survive and feed their children, even on a “offer”, which is not only difficult to accept in its substance, but also nominated on the basis of “you will agree to this or otherwise”.

What we know, all that we can know is what this means for those of us who are committed to Palestinian freedom, justice and dignity. We know that we need to continue to fight in order to put an end to this genocide, regardless of what decision can make Hamas or other Palestinian negotiations on the latest proposal. This means mobilization at each level. Participating in public and city protests. Maintaining pressure on the congress – when members return to Washington and in their areas, until they do this, to reduce all military support to Israel. Support for global mobilizations from civilian fleet to the International Court in the struggle for accounting and the termination of US complicity in genocide.

Public opinion is changing sharply. But the local conditions mean that we do not have time to wait until the politicians catch up. We know that we need to continue to act now.
