The Middle East is important for American imperialism because of the oil and gas and because it is a strategic place connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe. Since 1967, after it proved that it is a very powerful state, Israel has become the most important instrument to secure the domination of American imperialism in the region.
Trump is aware that the U.S. is a declining empire, and he tries to save it by getting good economic deals for American imperialism. However, the defeat of Israel in the war with Hamas broke the image of the Zionist monster as the fourth or fifth strongest army and has raised the question: Is Israel a strategic asset for American imperialism or a burden that costs a lot of money?
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump will land in Riyadh and begin a four-day visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. During his visit, Trump will meet with the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) at a political summit in Riyadh. The next day, the president will continue to Doha, and then arrive in Abu Dhabi, where he will conclude his visit on Friday
Israel Hayom writes:
“US President Donald Trump is embarking on a four-day visit to the Gulf states this week, focusing on achieving economic and technological deals, and a conspicuous avoidance of a visit to Israel. The focus will be on trillions of dollars in investments, arms deals, energy, and artificial intelligence innovation, along with burning political issues such as the war in Gaza and the Iranian nuclear program”.[i]
“Saudi Arabia is expected to announce investments in the United States amounting to up to $1 trillion, promote an arms deal worth more than $100 billion, and even resume civilian nuclear talks on its territory. In Qatar, as a central mediator in the negotiations between Israel and Hamas, it can be assumed that advancing a ceasefire and ending the war in Gaza will be the main topic in the talks.”[ii]
“During President Trump’s visit to the Gulf, the Iranian nuclear issue is expected to come up for discussion with regional leaders, in part because of the administration’s efforts to advance diplomatic understandings with Tehran. According to reports, the Gulf states are expressing support for the US-Iranian negotiations aimed at preventing regional escalation.”[iii]
Such deals with these states will ensure that they will remain semi colonies:
“Despite the continued fighting in Gaza, the Houthi attacks, and the negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program, Trump chose to refrain from visiting Israel. An Israeli source noted that Trump is expected to hear about the situation in Gaza throughout the visit – a message that is uncomfortable for Jerusalem.”[iv]
Hamas, which has realized that Trump has an interest in the end of the war of Israel on Gaza, released an Israeli-American soldier.
“According to the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, senior Hamas sources say that Hamas will release the kidnapped Idan Alexander at 12:00 p.m. today (Monday).. An Israeli source confirmed this, saying that “if Hamas agrees to the outline, the expansion of the war will be postponed for the sake of executing the deal and releasing our hostages.” [v]
“The Prime Minister’s Office said: “The expected release of IDF soldier Idan Alexander without compensation will be possible due to the aggressive policy that we led with the backing of President Trump, and thanks to the military pressure of IDF soldiers in the Gaza Strip.” The lies of Netanyahu are transparent, that the majority of the Israelis see through them.”
“The president is returning to the Middle East to promote a vision of trade as an alternative to extremism,” White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said. But for Israel, this could be interpreted as a worrying signal of the administration’s priorities”
What we witness is not only the beginning of the end of Netanyahu but possibly the beginning of the end of the Zionist monster.
