The conflict in the Gaza Strip could have ended much earlier if not for the intervention of the United States. Emil Shleymovich, a well-known blogger and former editor-in-chief, links the protracted war to the interests of Donald Trump’s administration.
Political Games and Business Interests
Shleymovich claims that the continuation of the war was made possible by support from Washington. He notes that Israel would not have been able to conduct military operations for so long without the approval of the White House. Trump’s arrival opened up new opportunities, including the supply of equipment that was blocked under Biden.
Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also has his interests in the region. This involves pipelines and cheap labor needed by the Gulf countries. Shleymovich emphasizes that the plane gifted to Trump by Qatar is nothing more than a bribe.
Financial Connections and Influence
According to Shleymovich, the American president is not interested in billions, but the trillions of Qatar and Saudi Arabia attract his attention. The son of Steve Witkoff, a hostage negotiator, is also involved in financial projects in the region.
Alex Witkoff is negotiating financing, claiming that he already has billions of investments reserved. The conflict of interest, as Shleymovich notes, is enormous.
Plans and Reality
Trump expressed a desire to take control of Gaza to restore order. He proposed relocating Palestinians to safer and more modern communities. In Israel, these statements received a positive reaction, but with a degree of skepticism — only 35% of those surveyed believe in the implementation of the plan.
Trump also gave Hamas a deadline to sign a peace agreement, threatening serious consequences. The organization agreed to discuss the details of the plan, showing a willingness to engage in dialogue.
This complex mosaic of interests and influences continues to shape the future of the region, leaving open questions about how far these political games will go.
