How Trump took the credit for Gaza stopping – and then let it be dismissed | Israel-Palestine News of Conflict

Washington, DC – Pictures of Palestinian children killed by Israeli bombing return to the news after a short return that lasted only a few weeks.

Almost two months after the President of the United States, Donald Trump, took the duty, the interruption of the fire that stopped the war of Israel in Gaza broke down and the region was back in the war.

This comes in spite of Trump’s own hinterland to continue peace in the Middle East and around the world.

Trump Took deserving For a truce earlier this year, but he now supports the renewed attacks of Israel in a conflict that once promised to end.

Analysts say Trump – an unwavering fan of Israel – was more interested in generating the title to help ensure a tribute than the war actually ended. Also floated with plans ethnically clean Gaza, removing their residents to make a place for Riviera’s style resort.

“We could see the evidence of Trump’s insincerity in an abandonment almost immediately after he assumed his duty – when he began to call for forcibly displaced and ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians from Gaza to A permanent basis“Said Josh Ruebner, a lecturer at Georgetown University of Justice and Peace.

“So it is not a surprise to see Trump’s administration of the Green Light of the continuation of mass Israeli violence against the Palestinians in Gaza.”

Early signs

In the weeks that led to the last bombing, there were signs that the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu He never intended to fully honor the ceasefire – and even Trump did not invest in complying with the agreement.

At the beginning of February, Trump said that “there is no guarantee that peace will maintain” in Gaza.

Even before the receipt came into force in January, Netanyahu claimed that the agreement was “temporary” and that Joe Biden – who was in the last days of his presidency – and Trump gave “his full support to Israel to return to the fight.”

Moreover, Israel repeatedly violated the agreement by shooting Palestine almost daily and blocking entry mobile homes to the territory, where many buildings are leveled or placed insecure.

Then on March 2, Israel imposed a total blockade of humanitarian aid intended for gauze.

The fire interruption agreement was supposed to include three stages. The first stage, which expired in early March, saw the release of about 30 Israeli prisoners and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners as the weapons were silenced.

But Israel did not agree to move to the second phase of the agreement that would see the permanent end of the war. The third phase would eventually focus on renovating the territory.

Instead, Netanyahu and Trump’s administration insisted on expanding the first part of the fire interruption agreement. But the Palestinian group Hamas was clear in its position: there is no need for new initiatives because there is an internationally supported pact to which all the parties have already agreed.

A truce ‘served its purpose’ for Trump

Ruebner said that Trump just wanted a temporary truce to release more of Israelic prisoners without pressing Israel to commit to ending the war.

In a joint appearance with Netanyahu in February, Trump also expressed his desire to “own” Gaza and turn it into a “Riviera of the Middle East”.

However, since Trump’s proposal was welcomed by an irresistibly international rejection, the US president allowed Israel to “continue this terrifying proportion of violence” against Palestinians, Ruebner said.

In days since Israel renewed the attack on Gaza, hundreds Palestinian civiliansIncluding children, they were killed with the support of the US president, who in his speech of the inauguration promised to leave the legacy of the “peacemaker”.

Annelle Sheline, a research associate with the Quincy Institute for Responsible States of the State, said she was surprised that the truce lasts for weeks, even after “serving her purpose” Trump.

“Trump’s motivation to advocate for the cessation of fire was to show that he could achieve what Biden could not, and he did so before even re -entered the White House,” sheline said.

“At a time when the truce was brought, there were a lot of skepticism to reach the second phase, as this would include negotiations on the lasting termination of hostilities, to which Israel and especially Netanyahu had no interest in agreeing.”

The Center for International Policy (CIP), an research center based in the United States, also said that Trump “backed significant responsibility” For collapse from the trial.

“Although Trump’s team had an early success in helping the administration of former President Joe Biden in the negotiating of hostage and stopping fire, he has since enabled this huge failure in his own diplomacy through a series of courageous misconceptions,” said Dylan Williams, CIP’s vice -president, he said in a statement.

‘Showman’

Williams cited Trump’s “obscene proposal” to force Palestine beyond gauzeAs well as the president’s support of Netanyahu’s pressure to re -write the fire interruption agreement, as decisions that make him a “full partner in this bloodshed.”

Despite the civilian number of death, Trump’s administration expressed unqualified support from Israel and her military campaign in Gaza.

Yl al-Sheikh, Palestinian American writer and organizer of democratic American socialists, described Trump as a “showman” who wanted a “big thing”.

But Al-Sheikh emphasized that the US president failed to make Netanyahu to end the war permanently and forces Hamas to let the remaining prisoners.

“So he just wants to push someone,” Al-Sheikh said. Palestinians, he added, are “natural target”.

So, what’s going on next?

Analysts are afraid that the Israeli offensive will enhance, which has led to more death and destruction, in a campaign already described by the leading groups for rights and experts of the United Nations As a genocide.

“Trump and Netanyahu are aligned in their desire to remove Palestine from Gaza, killing them either by ethnic cleansing and forced removal,” Sheline said.

Al-shaikh also predicts that violence will persevere: “We will enter into this joy until or Netanyahu fails to keep his government together or until Trump is tired of it.”
