At the time Donald Trump was talking to Vladimir Putin, the truce in Gaza – and Nobel Peacean remains a dream for the US president
US President Donald Trump now discovers that what he had promised pre -election, how he would put on directly ending to wars In Gaza and Ukraine, they cannot be so easily implemented.
While Trump makes moves for the peace plan for Ukraine, another ceasefire collapsed Like a card, with Israel unleashing a murderous attack on Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians, including women and children.
The US president’s phone call to Vladimir Putin, at the time Benyamin Netanyahu returned to a full -scale war, showed that the two leaders have their own political priorities, which would probably overcome his own.
As CNN comments, the geopolitical atmosphere is standing obstacle to ‘dream‘His Trump to leave inheritance as’global pacifist“, With his return to the Oval Office.
The Trump -Putin conversation has reinforced Ukraine’s fears and its European allies that the US is now seeing war as a side issue in the wider US president’s wider attempt to approach Moscow. US network analysis notes that Trump sees the conflict through a Russian lens and that explains the Why did he did unprecedented attacks in Volodimir Zelenskieven in the White House and only praised Putin.
On the other front, that of Gaza, Washington’s consent to Netanyahu’s fierce attack on the Palestinian enclave, ending the efforts of Trump’s envoy, Steve Whitkov, to secure the release of hostages and a second -phase agreement.
Also, the new US air attack on Iran backed by Houthi rebels in Yemen also suggests that Trump focuses on another goal – its reinforcement Pressure in Tehran so as to forced to talks for the her nuclear program or to weaken it in the face of a possible Israeli or American blow to its nuclear facilities.
Returning to power, Trump reprimanded the US allies in Europe and expanding claims against Canada, Greenland and Panama. But the biggest question that is spoiled around the foreign policy of his second term If he will be willing to put pressure on either Putin or Netanyahu. And his ambition to win the Nobel Peace Prize depends – for a long time – on that.
Trump insists that peace in Ukraine is close
The White House appeared optimistic about Trump’s telephone conversation with Putin, but the main message was the Russian reaction to the US idea for immediate ceasefire.
The Russians agreed to stop attacks on Ukraine’s energy targets and targets. And Kiev agrees with it.
However, the term “ceasefire” used by the White House does not respond to reality as There is no obstacle In continuing the Russia beating other goals but also civilian population of Ukraine.
And indeed, a few hours after the leaders’ communication, the Ukrainians said on Tuesday night that Moscow had launched a massive drone attack on a hospital in the Sumi area.
However, the US government insists this is the first step and how will talks be held at Middle East to achieve a sea ceasefire in the Black Sea and a complete ceasefire and permanent peace.
‘It was a very good call’Trump said in an arrogant way, believing that only himself could achieve such a feat, that is, there is immediate fast progress, CNN comments. “If I weren’t here, he would never do it”, He told the Russian leader in an interview with Washington Examiner. “The next step is a complete ceasefire of fire and an agreement”, Trump continued. ‘I think it will be very fast’he stressed.
If the US president manages to bring peacewill be one enormous achievement That will save thousands of lives, but his personal credibility is currently based on a leader, Putin, who has systematically violated agreements and truce.
Also Putin’s agreement to stop the attacks on energy infrastructure can Do not look so much to retreat. According to CNN, Beth Shaner, a former senior US intelligence official: “What did they agree with? Ukraine, the first thing it achieved during the war was to hit all Russia’s energy infrastructure. Agreeing (Moscow) is not a victory. ” “These are the terms of the Kremlin, they are not American terms. Certainly Putin is the one who drives this agreement »she appreciates herself.
The two leaders also discussed world issuesbeyond the war, including nuclear weapons. This highlights Trump’s goal of bringing Putin back to the world stage. According to White House officials “The two leaders also shared the view that the Iran should never be able to destroy Israel”
And this is important as it shows that the goal of Russia’s approach could be in Moscow is removed by her close ties to her Tehransomething that interests the US.
Like Putin, Netanyahu has political goals
At the same time, the collapse of the truce in Gaza shows the weakness of the US government To convert the original peacekeeping agreement into a permanent truce. And it is a trend that could predict how badly it could evolve and the Peaceful process in Ukraine.
Many American observers have long believed that Netanyahu He never wanted to go beyond the first stage her agreement cease fire.
Tuesday was the deadliest day of the last 15 months in Gaza, according to CNN’s report, after Israeli forces hit multiple targets while killing more than 400 Palestiniansamong them many civilians and children.
Israeli prime minister claimed to have launched attacks because Hamas refused to release their remaining hostages or to accept the US proposal to extend the ceasefire in Gaza, despite the cessation of Israel’s military activity.
Hamas, however, insisted that did not reject US proposal and that he wishes to extend the ceasefire. But, as CNN comments, the hard -core Islamic group has little incentives to release the remaining living hostageswhich is the last negotiating paper in the conflict with Israel as Netanyahu swear that the war will only end when Hamas is eliminated.
‘This is just the beginning’The Israeli prime minister said on Tuesday.
Netanyahu, who is being tried for corruption, obtained immediate political benefits by his decision to rekindle the war. Right -wing politician Ithamar Ben Grove said he will return to the government with the “Jewish power” party and this reinforces his political position in view of a series of difficult budget negotiations that could threaten the longevity of his government.
Returning to war operations also meant that trial Netanyan for corruption was temporarily postponed.
Many of the prime minister’s critics believe that he deliberately extended the war to Gaza to postpone his trial, from which he could be imprisoned or convicted,
Like Putin -for whom the war in Ukraine has become an existential purpose -so does Netanyahu Maybe he doesn’t want to end the battlesto consolidate his power.
However, both leaders must keep in mind that their “friend”, Trump has the huge political motives to cease wars And sooner or later, the US president may be confronted with difficult political choices, which he has postponed for the time being.
