Nine months ago, all sorts of commentators were calling Donald Trump names, as his peace plan for Israel and the Palestinian territories began to be implemented. A host of personalities claimed responsibility for it. It’s a sport among communicators, now politicians, to have no ideas or initiatives, but to appropriate those of others when they succeed.
It is true that no one, except Donald Trump and his idol Andrew Jackson, had thought that trade could be “substituted for war.” [1] It’s a bold bet that doesn’t resolve any of the problems besetting the populations, but sweeps them away and opens new perspectives [2].
Thus, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed to have always sought this outcome, making people forget the crimes he committed against the Palestinians, the Lebanese, the Syrians, the Iraqis, the Yemenis, and the Iranians. But he is not alone: Bridget Phillipson, the British Education Secretary, declared, on behalf of Governor Starmer, that she had played a decisive role behind the scenes. [3] We would have forgotten the spy flights over Gaza by the Royal Air Force throughout the conflict and the discreet trips back and forth between the Israeli chiefs of staff and London [4].
Even stranger, Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, while congratulating themselves on their relations with the torturers and murderers of the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas), came to sign the peace agreement, under the gaze of General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Egyptian president, who considers both Israel and the Brotherhood his enemies [5].
This signing was unlike any other. In the presence of some twenty Western heads of state, the pretense continued to be that this conflict was tribal, that it pitted Israelis and Palestinians against each other, unable to agree for 80 years. Stupid politicians chose sides based on their proximity to the Jews for some, and to the Arabs for others. Yet everyone who has lived in the Levant, and particularly the French, knows that this conflict was artificial, that it was designed by the British Empire to last forever for its own benefit.
Hence the question: how did Donald Trump manage to unravel this trap on which a long list of predecessors failed?
To understand this, we must consider that the President of the United States realized that the British-American-Israeli deep state was pulling the strings of this endless conflict. He had fought for twenty-four years against the Straussians (the disciples of Leo Strauss) in the United States [6] and recognized Elliott Abrams (whom he had employed during his first term) as the true leader of the ruling coalition in Israel.
Similarly, when the Biden administration considered overthrowing Netanyahu and helping to place Benny Gantz in power in Tel Aviv (March 2024), it understood that the British were standing in the way because they opposed General Gantz destroying Hamas [7]. Yes, London still protected the Muslim Brotherhood, while also providing military assistance to Israel. This was its imperial strategy: “Divide and rule” and support both sides at once, so that each would neutralize the other, and the Crown’s interests would persist effortlessly [8].
Similarly, President Trump has relied on Benjamin Netanyahu, whose obsessions and versatility he has long since realized. Didn’t Jacques Chirac call him a pathological liar seeking only to expel the Palestinians? Trump’s bet is that Netanyahu hasn’t suddenly become a Nazi, but that he is following the directives of the revisionist Zionists on October 7th, just as George W. Bush followed those of the Straussians on September 11th. [9]
Donald Trump will not stop there. He intends to end the war against the Russians just as he ended the one against the Arabs. His special envoy, Steve Witkoff, explained to him at the beginning of his tour of Moscow and Kyiv that the Ukrainian fundamentalist nationalists have been allies since 1921 (the rapprochement between Symon Petliura and Vladimir Jabotinsky). Together, they massacred pro-Soviet Ukrainians and non-Zionist Jews [10]
The fundamental nationalists manipulate the unelected President Volodymyr Zelensky, just as the revisionist Zionists manipulate Benjamin Netanyahu. They have penetrated Ukrainian institutions with Andriy Biletsky (now head of the 3rd Army Corps), Dmitryo Yarosh, and Andriy Parubiy (assassinated two months ago), while the Straussians have penetrated the United Nations, and the British have penetrated the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine.
To resolve this imbroglio, Donald Trump should turn around Volodymyr Zelensky, as he did with Benjamin Netanyahu. He should invest in rebuilding what remains of Ukraine to make people forget the territories it has lost. For this staging, he will be able to count on his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, who can accept losing in the eyes of the West, if he clearly wins for the Russians.
To begin, Donald Trump called President Putin on October 16. Putin reminded his interlocutor that the Danish warnings about Russian drones were only decoys. Indeed, the Danes, like other European states, have long protected their airports against drone attacks (Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Spain, Finland, France, Hungary, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Romania, Sweden, Slovakia, and Slovenia also do so for their nuclear power plants). However, Denmark refused to destroy the drones flying over its airports or to provide any information about them. It preferred to blame Russia and close its airports. Clearly, this operation was nothing more than a setup to justify the establishment of a NATO-led drone wall to seal off the European continent. Vladimir Putin insisted: Russia would never provoke the Atlantic Alliance.
Then, the next day, October 17, Donald Trump informed Zelensky that he would have to admit to having lost the territories liberated by Russia [11], which implies that the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine, led by the United Kingdom and Germany, as well as the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine, established by the Council of Europe, are null and void.
