There are indications that the United States of America (US) is trying to alter the outcome of the Al-Aqsa Flood in favour of the American Zionist project. The US is re-drawing a new Middle East which will have three salient features.
Two-state solution: This is the solution which the entire world has already abandoned. The Arab countries ditched it by heading towards normalization (with Israel) without making it withdraw from the (Palestinian) lands and restoring 1967 borders. It is the solution which all Israeli politicians have been rejecting before the October 7 attack. The Zionist entity has wrecked it by expanding settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem and Judaizing the city. But now this solution has re-surfaced strongly and is acknowledged again by the entire world and some of the Israeli politicians.
However, the two-state solution in its new form is different from the solution which had the Arab consensus. It is expected that the new form of the solution will be in Israel’s interest under which Palestinians will get a smaller geographical area, and not have right to return. It will be a Palestinian state which will not have military. There will also be a temporal and spatial division of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Normalization with Saudi Arabia without requiring the 1967 border restoration condition: This is even though the Arab Peace Initiative was launched by Saudi King Abdullah and was unanimously adopted by Arab countries at the Arab League meeting in Beirut in 2002. The effort is to bring Saudi Arabia and Israel closer, and they normalise bilateral relations. It will work as breaking of the barrier. This will ultimately lead to the entire Arab and Islamic world follow the Saudi line. This will put the entire region on the US-Western axis and distance it from the Chinese-Russian eastern axis. Under this plan, Israel will be brought at the center stage of the project again by ensuring its military, economic and scientific superiority.
Hitting all vital forces in the Arab and Islamic world which refuse to join the project or resist it: Under this design, the Hamas movement of Palestine, as well as all other Islamic movements, no matter how much they try to show their moderation and acceptance of remaining under the roof of the current regimes, are on top of the hit list. Their mere rejection of normalization will be a reason to attach the label of terrorism to them to crush them. This was recommended by some American studies and was published in some Arab media outlets, including the EmiratiSky News Arabia.
There is a war going on in Palestine. The political and diplomatic resolution of the crisis is imminent. But from this it is evident that it is a fight not only between Hamas and the Zionist entity, but rather a battle between the Western Zionist colonial project and the entire world. The battlefield and decisive battle are in Palestine and the Arab countries. This is because, those who are concerned with it more than anyone else are the Palestinians, then the Arab peoples.
They want to waste the sacrifices of the people of Gaza and the West Bank to save the Zionist state when it is dying, and to turn the Palestinians’ victory into defeat.
