We have already begun the initial steps towards a perilous era of open conflict, in which international politics are disregarded. We are on the verge of a fresh geopolitical remapping, organized by a 78-year-old Western leader, with the principal purpose of ensuring the ultimate security and stability of the Zionist entity.
This approach also seeks to permanently conclude the file on the Arab-Israeli conflict and bring the Palestinian struggle to an end. According to Trump’s views, this plan is critical and must be carried out without delay. He believes that capturing any portion of Arab territory or stealing the resources of any regional state may be carried out without hesitation. His approach to the indigenous people of Gaza and the occupied territories is identical to his stance on illegal immigrants in his own nation.
It would not be an exaggeration to envisage him planning the mass deportation of 2.2 million Palestinians onboard American military planes and dropping them off at the nearest airports in nearby countries. In simplest terms, this would clear the way for the creation of the “Middle East Riviera” he envisions while also removing the Palestinian issue from existence.
Pay up or be removed
Trump has demonstrated such a disregard for the Arab region that he appears to assume he can reshape its map and steal its resources through just words or veiled threats – without firing a single bullet. He believes he can issue directives and collect trillions of dollars from the region’s resources using the logic of “pay up or be removed.”
It is the peak of black comedy, with an unbelievable amount of arrogance, recklessness, and plain bullying. Unfortunately, the region’s current fragility originates from its lengthy involvement in the Greater Middle East Project, which was painstakingly designed by the United governments to destabilise and destroy the independence of the regional governments. The goal has been to stall progress, undermine development initiatives, and keep nations focused on fighting against blows rather than constructing a sustainable future.
constant upheaval
For 35 years, since the early 1990s, the region’s peoples have lived in constant upheaval, with instability impeding all development attempts and depriving people of a decent life. This has resulted in a general decrease in all aspects of life, damaged the political institutions of most Arab governments, and stripped the area of its once-central position in world affairs. Instead of being a dominant force, the Arab world has become the Middle East’s weak point, encircled by three rival countries, each supported by strong foreign allies: Iran, Turkey, and Israel.
These three countries have played a critical role in weakening Arab stability through strategic alliances formed to suit the interests of global powers. Iran, Turkey, and Israel have turned Arab nations into permanent battlegrounds, accumulating military arsenals while inciting ethnic, religious, and tribal tensions, resulting in a continuous cycle of murder.
Despite being one of the world’s wealthiest areas in terms of natural and human resources, and perfectly capable of competing on a global scale, the Arab world has become locked in a seemingly endless circle of instability as a result of these coordinated operations.
From bad to worse
Because Trump is only in power for four years and the American colonial programme is already far behind schedule, this stage of the Greater Middle East Project necessitates an expedited tempo – rapid leaps forward. According to my estimations, the project has been delayed for at least a decade.
This delay is largely due to the unexpected responses from regional states and their peoples, which diverged from the expectations of the United States and its colonial partners – whether these partners were interest groups (most notably the Zionist lobby, in all its political, social, and economic forms) or allied states such as Britain and France.
The masterminds behind this plot believed that the collapse would be quick and uncontested, and that this “weak region” could be simply tamed and assimilated with little effort. Their confidence arose from years of preparation, during which they attempted to alter the ideological and intellectual fabric of the region’s communities, establishing a distorted version of history that would subsequently be recognized as the “true” narrative. This was supplemented by diplomatic maneuvers, which were frequently carried out behind closed doors and violated international rules and agreements.
Gaza changes the course of history
The United States and the Western lobby, with their vast interests in the region, have deployed a mix of soft and brute-force strategies to eliminate the “Middle Eastern headache” once and for all.
However, just when things appeared to be ideal for the conclusion of this chapter, Gaza changed the course of history. The valiant Palestinian resistance has revealed American atrocities, turned the game on its head, and foiled plans devised by some of the world’s most powerful political, military, and diplomatic figures.
Not only that, but the heroic uprising of 7 October shattered the colossal investments Washington had poured into its decades-long brainwashing campaigns – designed to manipulate perceptions, distort truths, and recruit traitors within Arab states to facilitate their internal collapse.
The Palestinian resistance disrupted American political and military plans and nullified the immense economic and media investments made to accelerate regional disintegration under the Greater Middle East conspiracy.
Beyond this, vast sums have been funnelled to Israel – at times to secure it militarily from internal and external threats, at other times to bolster its economy and create an attractive social landscape that would encourage global Jewish migration. These funds have been instrumental in establishing settlements, driving development across various sectors, and crafting an ideal environment for the new colonial settlers.
A golden opportunity for Arab World
Now, we have a historic chance to flip the tables in favor of the Arab area. This is especially plausible considering that the United States is governed by an irresponsible president and that global sentiment towards Israel is at an all-time low, with the world increasingly acknowledging its crimes against humanity. Israel’s leaders and fanatical Zionists have entered the ranks of history’s greatest Nazis, once victims but now ideological heirs.
Our golden opportunity lies in a unified Arab dialogue with the United States and global Zionist forces, spearheaded by Egypt and Saudi Arabia – the two leading regional powers.
This urgent dialogue must be built on a unified Arab agenda, agreed upon by all Arab nations.
The conflict is about more than just the forced displacement of Gaza people and the eradication of the Palestinian cause; it also includes the complete implementation of the long-standing Greater Middle East Project, which strives to take all regions wanted by the Zionist entity. These regions extend over the Fertile Crescent and parts of the Sinai Peninsula, fulfilling the Zionist ambition of constructing “Greater Israel” – a homeland for worldwide Zionism based on their warped religious ideas.
This entity serves America’s interests and ensures the achievement of its key strategic objectives in the Middle East.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia Alliance
The choice of Egypt and Saudi Arabia to lead talks on behalf of the region does not lessen the importance of other Arab countries. On the contrary, it strengthens the efforts of states that have played critical roles in aiding the Palestinian resistance over the last 15 months of conflict, most notably Qatar, whose historic achievements will be immortalised in gold.
Finally, I am certain that our negotiating language must prioritise the region’s collective interests, starting with the foundation of a truly autonomous Palestinian state. This conversation must be forward-looking, taking into account the possible challenges that the region may face if Arab states continue to depend just on verbal protests rather than adopting a unified, aggressive approach that obtains practical, enforceable objectives while protecting each Arab state’s sovereignty.
From my perspective, Saudi Arabia must now recognise its essential role. It is a divinely endowed nation with enormous natural and human resources, and above all, it is the custodian of the two Holy Mosques, entrusted with safeguarding regional security and encouraging prosperity for all Arab peoples via extensive investment.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman possesses the required experience, knowledge, and political savvy for this role.
As for my beloved Egypt, it remains the decisive factor in the equation:
-
Egypt’s resistance defeated the Greater Middle East agenda.
-
Egypt, led by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, welcomes victims of Arab wars and conflicts, providing refuge for those who have experienced damage in the area.
-
Despite difficult circumstances, Egypt has continued to work and develop, preparing for the current phase of confrontation and contribution.
-
Despite exhaustion from military and political conflicts and economic pressures, Egypt remains resilient. Its people undergo hardships and difficulties in order to save Egypt from crumbling – for if Egypt collapses, God forbid, the entire Arab world would collapse at the same time.
-
Egypt has equipped and prepared its military to maintain a strong presence in the area if the Palestinian problem is not resolved. This force, with God’s favour, is the “great and valiant Egyptian army.”
-
Egypt and Saudi Arabia have long been considered the Arab world’s crown jewels. Together, they must negotiate in the language of justice and power to build the Palestinian state and preserve Arab nations’ rights, independent of Iranian, Turkish, American, or other exterior interests. Priority must be given to Arab nations’ interests, promoting prosperity and stability for all Arab inhabitants while maintaining their independence and sovereignty. This must be the region’s announced posture to the world, capitalising on the unparalleled worldwide public solidarity that has formed as a result of Gaza’s brave battle, so that, God willing, we might all emerge triumphant.
To be continued in the next issue, God willing.
