Donald Trump has been trumpeting his zionist-formulated scheme as a ‘peace plan’ to end the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Led by Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad, the Palestinians in Gaza, subjected to a two-year-long genocide, face a dilemma.
If they had rejected the Trump plan despite its many flaws, they would be accused of rejecting peace.
That is the last thing the Palestinians, especially Hamas and Islamic Jihad want.
They want peace for their suffering people but what is being demanded of them through the zionist-crafted Trump proposed plan is surrender.
They cannot and will not accept such humiliation, especially since the Islamic resistance in Gaza has not been defeated by the zionist war criminals.
If the zionists claim that they have won militarily by killing most of Hamas fighters and destroyed 90% of their weapons, then why call for their disarmament?
In an interview with Jeremy Scahill of Drop Site, senior Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouk said:
“President Trump said 25,000 members of Qassam were killed,” adding that this estimate is equivalent to public estimates of the total size of the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing. “Israel also recently announced that most of Hamas’s military capabilities were destroyed—they said 90% of Hamas’s capabilities were wiped out. So if they destroyed 90% of Hamas’s military capabilities and killed most of Qassam’s fighters, as President Trump says, whose weapons are you going to disarm and where are the weapons you claim you’ll remove when you already destroyed them?”
The fact is that zionist Israel has not achieved any of its military or political objectives in Gaza despite two years of genocide of women, children and other civilians.
Thus, they are demanding disarmament of Hamas through the Trump plan.
In order not to give Trump and the zionist war criminal an excuse to say that Hamas does not want peace, the resistance movement has accepted parts of the Trump plan and called for clarification on other points.
This is what the indirect talks in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheikh are all about.
Whether they will result in a ceasefire will depend largely on how much pressure Trump can exert on the indicted war criminal Benjamin Mileikowsky (aka Netanyahu) to stop the genocide.
There is another factor also at work.
There is growing public anger in the US and Western Europe over their regimes’ complicity in the genocide.
This is evident from the massive rallies held in major cities across Europe almost daily.
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), while unsuccessful in its mission to deliver food, water and medicines to Gaza, nonetheless highlighted once again the criminal nature of the zionist entity.
The Palestinians’ real dilemma is that Arab and Muslim regimes that would be expected to support their legitimate struggle for fundamental rights are also aligned with the US-zionist plot.
This is as true of Saudi Arabia as it is of the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Egypt and Qatar.
Non-Arab Muslim regimes Turkiye, Pakistan (a nuclear power, no less) and Indonesia are also complicit in the genocide.
The zionist-subcontractor (aka the Palestinian Authority (PA)), the United Nations and the American pope at the Vatican have also signed on to the zionist-Trump plan.
Qatar and Turkiye have even threatened Hamas officials residing in their countries with expulsion if they do not accept the American plan.
When Mileikowsky came to speak at the UN General Assembly on September 26, the vast majority of delegates walked out in disgust.
The indicted war criminal had to address empty seats.
There was something even more spectacular that occurred.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro called last week to liberate the Palestinians.
He demanded “a powerful army of the countries that do not accept genocide.”
He added: “That is why I invite nations of the world and their peoples more than anything, as an integral part of humanity, to bring together weapons and armies. We must liberate Palestine. I invite the armies of Asia, the great Slavic people who defeated Hitler with great heroism, and the Latin American armies of Bolivar.”
This call should have been made by Arab and Muslim countries.
With the exception of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Hizbullah in Lebanon and Ansarallah in Yemen, that have supported the Palestinian people, the Arabian rulers and their regimes have demonstrated, yet again, total shamelessness.
They have lined up behind Trump’s plan that if successful, will only add to the misery of the Palestinian people.
The same applies to the rulers of Turkiye, Pakistan (both civilian and military) and Indonesia whose president is a former general.
If these regimes believe that by surrendering to the zionist-imperialist plan, they will save their thrones and seats, they had better think again.
The indicted war criminal is pursuing the ‘Greater Israel’ project that includes all of Palestine, Jordan, large swathes of Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia including Makkah and Madinah, parts of Turkiye and even Iraq.
The Palestinians are not only fighting for their own survival but also trying to check the ‘Greater Israel’ project from being realized.
