The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Awaits an Important Visit To Donald Trump in The White House On Monday. The American President is pushing for an end to the war in Gaza, while Netanyahu is striking a consumer -different tone. “It has bone crackling for some time”.
Anyone who listed carefully to the speeches at the general assembly of the united nations this week could hear that Israel and the united States are no longer Complety on the Same Page Regarding Gaza. An Exasperated Prime Minister Netanyahu Said He would “get the Job Done in Gaza”. President Trump Said the War Must Stop.
The Festival of Diplomacy at the un Summit in New York Exposed More Small Cracks in Israeli-American Relations. Trump Said After a Consultation with Leaders from a Number of Arab Countries in the Middle East That He not Allow Israel to Occupy the West Bank, A Plan that Netanyahu has flirting with for some time.
In Addition, Israeli Media Leaked Details This Weekend about a Possible Peace Plan that Trump Wants To Present to Netanyahu. That Draft Plan, Consisting of 21 Clauses, Reportedly Includes of Imediate Ceasefire, The Return of All Remeaning Israeli Hostages and the Release of Thousands of Palestinian Prisoners of War By Israel.
The plan would also contain a solution for the gaza strip. The Israeli Armed Forces must give up the area, after which a technocratic leader under the leadership of Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair Must Temporarily Take Over Power. The Armed Wing of Hamas Will Be Dismantled, After which work will be done on Establishing a Palestinian State. The Americans would put pressure on Qatar to get Hamas on board, which does not seem likely.
Netanyahu Will Not Let A Palestinian State Be ‘Pushed Down His Throat’
With the development of the past week, Netanyahu’s visit to the white house promises to be an interesting one. The Israeli Prime Minister is Unlikely to Agree to Such a Peace Plan. At the un this week, he said that Israel would not allow a “terrorist state to be pushed down its throat.”
Netanyahu would also not be able to sell the conditions in the current Draft plan to the far-right minority in His War Cabinet. They Still Have A Considerable Influence on the Fate of the Prime Minister. Without the support of that faction, The Government is Threateded With Collapse. MoreOover, Netanyahu’s Course, Under Pressure from Western Allies, Has So Far Only Hardened. This week, The Israeli Prime Minister Lashed Out At Allies Who Decided to Recognize The Palestinian State, Such As France and England.
Trump, who proudly presented the deal to journalists on Friday, is a personal motivated to end the gaza conflict. For the white house, this peaosal marks an importing moment and trump is already talking as if a deal is a matter of time. So The Question is Whether Trump is prepared to accommodate Netanyahu huge in The White House.
The Two Are Also by No Means Friends, Emphasizes Middle East Expert Maurits Berger. “It has bone crackling between the two for some time.” Among Others, The Wall Street Journal Reported Earlier That The American President Regularly Expresses His Frustrations about the Israeli Prime Minister Behind The Scenes.
In Addition, The Role of Gulf States in the Middle East Should Not Be Underestimated, Says Paul Aarts. He is KnowledgeBey in the Field of International Relations. “We Will See How Great The Influence of Those Arab Countries is on Trump,” He says. Gulf States Such as Qatar, which play a prominent role in the Mediation of the Gaza Conflict, Can Put Him Under Pressure with Their Financial Resources, He Expects.
The US is the only one that can put pressure on Israel
The US is Both Financily and Militarily Israel’s Most Important Ally, which is also Being Put Under Pressure by More and More European Allies. The only one who currently has the mean to put pressure on Israel is Trump, Says Berger. But that is not without risks.
“I Highly Doubt Whether He Will Do That,” Berger Emphasizes. “I think Netanyahu will get his way. Israel is an important Domestic Topic in the United States. If Trump withdraws his support for Israel, That Could Cost Votes.” Americans have traditionally leg huge projects. Berger Emphasizes that it has only happened once before that an American president suspended financial aid to Israel.
Aarts also Doubs Whether Trump is Really Going to Lay A Bomb Under American-Israeli Relations. “I think Netanyahu will Travel to Washington with Confidence. He is an excellent negotiator. We must also note that Israel has so far always goths what it wants from America.”
Netanyahu Will Have To Choose In The Long Term
However, The Israeli Prime Minister is in A Difficult Position, in which he has been to make sacrifices in the long term, writes the Jerusalem post . The Newspaper States That Netanyahu is at a “Personal and Political Crossroads” Door Visit to Washington On Monday.
Going Along with the American Peace Plan Could Lead to the Fall of His War Cabinet. Flatly Rejecting The Deal Means A Possible Deterioration of Relations with Israel’s Most Loyal Ally. In The Long Term, the Prime Minister Will Have to Choose Whether to Make Concessions to Washington, or Remain Stubbornly Attached to his Hard-Line Government Course.
