Trump’s Grand Deception… The Trumpist Vampires’ Plan — Identity

By: Firas Yaghi

The plan President Trump presented to some Arab and Muslim leaders already achieves what Israel wants and aligns with the five security and political conditions of the cabinet. Netanyahu’s and Dermer’s meetings with Witkoff and Kushner are in this context. Nevertheless, Trump’s remarks about stopping the war are feasible only if there is agreement with Netanyahu on West Bank matters, because that would serve as a bribe to Smotrich and Ben Gvir. Such a halt would appear to be the end of the war, but in reality Netanyahu would have a million reasons to manufacture to restart it. The likely approach is to release all prisoners — living and dead — at the start of the deal, after which Netanyahu would be free to do anything if he finds that the objectives he announced may not be met. It is important to hear Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations today, in which he will stress continuing his wars; after his return he may move forward and open a new front, for example by striking Lebanon or Iran.

Trump’s major deception is tied to talk of a definitive end to the war, because the war will not end before Netanyahu achieves his aim of securing his re-election. Netanyahu’s political future is now entirely linked to whether the war stops or continues. Anyone who thinks Netanyahu is ready to abandon his coalition and turn to a safety net is mistaken. Netanyahu trusts neither Gantz nor Lapid because he knows that such a network would topple him sooner rather than later — and this is all after the release of all prisoners, living and dead.

What Trump presented to Arab and Muslim leaders was intended to close the file on the day after the war in Gaza. Those plans fall within the broad lines of the Kushner–Blair plan, which treats the Gaza Strip as real estate to be invested through Trump’s four companies. It is said that investment will come through Gulf Arab financing — some estimate $50 billion, others $100 billion — and estimated profits of $200 billion would all go into Trump’s pocket.

Because displacement is highly sensitive for Arab states, Trump pledged to the Arab leaders to reject forced displacement, but the concept of displacement under the label “voluntary” would remain. The original plan proposed by Kushner and Blair speaks of reducing Gaza’s demographics and confining its population to a specific geographic area so they can later serve as a labor force. In addition, the plan aims to end or eliminate Hamas from any scene in Gaza. The Arab, Islamic and international forces to be brought in would operate on behalf of the occupation army to fight the remnants of the resistance with the goal of disarming the entire Gaza Strip — thereby rescuing Israel from international isolation and condemnation, deflecting global outrage at the killing and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, countering a potential wave of Palestinian state recognition, and saving the exhausted Israeli army from a long war of attrition.

There appear to be unprecedented pressures on the Hamas leadership, who seem to be effectively confined in Doha under the banner of security risks — especially after an assassination attempt against them in Doha a few days ago — and they are being expected to accept what President Trump wants without discussion or negotiation.

It is true that the Arab and Muslim leaders who attended the half-hour meeting welcomed the proposals with conditions that include no occupation of Gaza or settlement there, no annexation in the West Bank, and an end to Ben Gvir’s measures at al-Aqsa. But the important question remains: why did they welcome Trump’s plan, which was designed by Israel, and why did they not insist on implementing their own plan? And why did they not dare to present it at the meeting with President Trump?

The clear thing is that “Trump–Netanyahu” will not deviate from their goals and plans, because any proposal that does not fall within the five security and political cabinet conditions — disarm Hamas, release all prisoners (alive and dead), disarm the Gaza Strip, Israeli security control and supervision over all of Gaza, and governance of Gaza not by Hamas nor by the Palestinian Authority — would mean the fall of Netanyahu and his government. That is something President Trump does not want; he is calling for Netanyahu to be honored and exempted from charges and trials, in addition to Netanyahu’s own likely refusal to accept alternatives.

It is surprising that the Arab and Muslim states have an approved plan and I do not know why they did not defend it instead of Trump’s unclear and illusory plan, which contains within it a project of displacement. Whoever does not accept the Palestinian Authority as the governing body in Gaza under various names cannot protect it in the West Bank or prevent annexation.

The Americans and Israelis are lying and only want the prisoners — after which they will implement their plans. Let us not forget that President Trump himself was several times part of disinformation and deception around Israeli military operations; most recently he reportedly proposed measures to lure Hamas leaders to meet in Doha so they could be assassinated.

The proposal discussed in the half-hour meeting is nothing more than a deceitful plan intended to secure the release of prisoners and implement a displacement scheme, turning the Gaza Strip into an investment asset under an international administration headed by the criminal Tony Blair — the former British prime minister who lied to drag his country and the United States into the 2003 war on the pretext of weapons of mass destruction by fabricating evidence that was later proven false. Blair was also responsible for the Quartet, which was supposed to work toward peace between Israelis and Palestinians, but he allied with Netanyahu, hollowed out the Quartet’s substance, and provided cover for aggressive and settlement policies.

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who did not attend the New York meeting in person and was represented by his foreign minister, said: “What was presented at the New York meeting may form a basis toward a solution in Gaza, but it must be done through a Security Council resolution.” This position forms a bulwark against attempts at deception, because supervision of the proposed plan under UN oversight is something neither the United States nor Israel wants.

In conclusion, there is no trust in the Americans or the Israelis. Anyone who speaks of a temporary administration of Gaza is preparing to undermine the wave of recognitions of the Palestinian state. The Palestinian Authority must be the legitimate authority according to the Egyptian–Arab plan; otherwise, handing Gaza — awash in the blood of its people — to bloodsuckers seeking financial investment by draining what remains of the Palestinian people in Gaza is unacceptable.
