Donald Trump is fond of presenting whatever he does in grand terms.
The Sharm el Sheikh summit in Egypt today was no exception.
Talking in grandiose terms, Trump claimed that the “war in the Middle East” is over.
He said the summit will bring “security to the entire region”.
True, there were a number of western, Muslim and Arab rulers present in Sharm el-Sheikh but peace and security in the region will depend on whether the zionist mad dog can be put on a tight leash.
It is the greed, expansionism and genocide perpetrated by the zionists that have caused so much havoc for decades.
Gaza is a prime example.
Fore more than two years, the zionist war criminals have perpetrated a genocide that is unparalleled in human history.
What has so far been achieved under Trump’s 20-point plan is the release of 20 Israeli prisoners held by Hamas.
It was reported that Hamas would also hand over the bodies of two, and possibly four Israelis to the Red Cross.
The Israeli prisoners were killed by zionist bombing, not by Hamas.
In exchange, the zionists released 1860 Palestinian hostages—yes, the Palestinians are hostages because they were kidnapped from their homes by the gun-toting zionist thugs.
Most of them were tortured in Israeli dungeons.
They were subjected to both physical and verbal abuse.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society has reported that more than 100 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody.
The zionist war criminals hold more than 10,000 Palestinians, among them doctors, women and children.
All of them were kidnapped at gunpoint from hospitals or their homes.
Under the so-called peace deal, a tenuous ceasefire has come into effect but the zionist war criminals continue to attack Palestinians.
Some food and medicine have been allowed into Gaza but all deliveries have to go through Israeli inspections at the Rafah Crossing from Egypt.
Since March, the zionists have blocked food, water, medicines and fuel to Gaza to starve the people with a view to drive them out of the tiny enclave.
How realistic is it to talk about permanent peace?
The zionist occupation army still controls nearly 60 % of Gaza.
They have relocated only a few miles from the main cities.
It is still unclear what the future steps would be and how they would be achieved.
At Sharm el-Sheikh in his rambling speech, Trump talked about a number of Arab countries stepping forward to rebuild Gaza.
It is revealing that the zionist war criminals destroy Gaza, murder hundreds of thousands of Palestinians but Arabian countries must rebuild it.
Why not hold zionist Israel for these crimes and make them pay?
Further, given Trump’s limited attention span, how is he going to see through the other steps of his 20-point plan?
He likes to bask in the glory of the moment but then his attention is diverted to other issues.
For the zionists, the most important aspect was getting their prisoners back, which they have.
Now, there is no further public pressure on Benjamin Mileikowsky (aka Netanyahu) to fulfill any of his obligations.
He can resume the bombing of Gaza or stop the delivery of food aid.
Will Trump hold him to account? Can anybody force him to do so?
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty put his finger on the issue when he said the success of Trump’s vision for Middle East peace will depend on his continued commitment to the process.
He not only called for Trump’s continued engagement but also “deployment on the ground [of US and international troops]” expected to carry out peacekeeping duties in the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire.
While one can hope that zionist Israel will not resume bombing and killing of Palestinians, Mileikowsy’s past record of deceipt and criminality do not give much hope for optimism.
It was also revealing that no representative of the Palestinian resistance was present.
Mamoud Abbas, the zionist collaborator was there.
When the zionist war criminal Mileikowsky learned that Abbas will be there, he refused to come to Sharm el-Sheikh.
Mileikowsky’s absence should be welcomed. He is a war criminal and should not be given any credibility by allowing him to attend such summits.
However, it would be unrealistic to assume that this summit will usher in peace or security for the region.
