Trump and Netanyahu: War Winners or Just Another Show?
Is this the end or just the beginning? While the world holds its breath over the 21-month war between Israel and Hamas, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are putting on a show as if they have already declared victory. Meeting for the third time this year in Washington, Trump is eager to be remembered as a peacemaker. But is this just lipstick on a bloody reality?
Triumph or Illusion?
The recent joint strikes on Iran, hailed by both as an “undeniable success,” are just the tip of the iceberg. The war in Gaza rages on, with tens of thousands of Palestinians killed. Gaza is devastated, and Israel’s international isolation deepens. Yet, Trump and Netanyahu boast of a “huge victory” over a common enemy. Is this really a victory or just a political show for the public?
A Fragile Ceasefire
Negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas are underway, aiming for a 60-day pause in fighting. This would allow aid to flow into Gaza and the release of at least some of the 50 hostages Hamas still holds. But key questions remain: will the ceasefire truly end the conflict? Hamas demands a complete end to the war and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, while Netanyahu insists the war will only end when Hamas surrenders. This clash of demands casts a shadow over any optimism.
Trump’s Nobel Dream
Trump openly wants to be remembered as a peacemaker. He has repeatedly praised peace agreements brokered by his administration, from India and Pakistan to DR Congo and Rwanda. Now he hopes to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict under his watch. But is this a genuine peace process or just another chance for political promotion?
An Uncertain Future
Just before Netanyahu’s visit, Trump lowered expectations. Though optimistic, it’s clear the situation changes day by day. Achieving a ceasefire and releasing hostages remains uncertain. And the war? It continues, with all its horrors and consequences.
Conclusion
While Trump and Netanyahu stage a victory show, the reality in Gaza is far from triumphant. The war goes on, people suffer, and political games continue. Will this meeting bring peace or just another round of false hopes? Only time will tell.
