Israel has threatened the US strategic position in the resource-rich Middle East. And then in Washington they said: “Let Hamas try.” On the causes of the current escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict ponders Pravda.Ru columnist Lyubov Stepushova.
US lawmakers have called on Qatar to close Hamas’ office in Doha and reconsider its ties to the “terrorist group” as designated by the US. However, Qatari officials immediately said that Doha does not sponsor or finance Hamas, but agreed to host the organization’s political office after the United States requested to open a channel of communication with the group. This happened more than ten years ago.
A Qatari official told the Financial Times that Washington first asked Doha to open “indirect channels” in 2006, after Hamas won elections in Gaza. Russian sources indicate that this Palestinian movement was initially viewed by Israel as a competitor to the Palestine Liberation Organization Yasser Arafat (Fatah) and was even financed by Tel Aviv.
Interestingly, France, Italy and the Netherlands signed long-term agreements with Qatar for the supply of liquefied natural gas after the Hamas attack on Israeli settlements on October 7th. This suggests that for them, accusations against Qatar as an accomplice of terrorism were not initially even considered.
If there are connections with Hamas, then the question is, is the US behind their attack? For years, Israel has been an obstacle to US relations with the Arab world and Iran, and this has become critical to America’s survival in recent years amid China’s entry into the Middle East with the yuan instead of the petrodollar, its success in reconciling Iran and Saudi Arabia, and its desire to reconcile Israel. with Saudi Arabia, strengthening the positions of the Russian Federation and Iran in Syria, Iraq, and throughout the Middle East.
Washington has already forgotten how it dreamed of overthrowing the Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, and lifted sanctions on him in order to buy Venezuelan oil again. Now to the US President Joe Biden Iran urgently needs to be forgiven for its nuclear program in order to buy oil from it and not from Russia. Because the Russian Federation in OPEC, together with the Saudis, manipulate the strategic market as they want.
Zoological hatred of Israelis towards their Palestinian neighbors and towards Arabs in general (I must say, completely mutual. — approx. EADaily ), began to prevent Washington from keeping close to itself the resource-rich and geostrategically important Middle East. In addition, ensuring Israel’s security costs the United States a tidy sum of $4 billion a year.
Bringing Israel in line is what America needed. Let Hamas try, they decided. This makes it clear why Israel missed the Hamas attack on the best guarded border in the world by the best intelligence services in the world. Strange references to the inability to control key Hamas communication channels, belief in talk that Hamas is not going to attack, can only be explained by one thing, these channels were spreading disinformation, and the entire operation was planned through a secret communication channel through Qatar.
There are currently protests against the prime minister in Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu. The United States, therefore, first removes the objectionable Netanyahu, then stops the operation of the Israeli army in Gaza, drags Europe into the game, which will take the entire blow and consequences of the war upon itself – refugees, terrorist attacks and more. And the Americans themselves will act as peacekeepers and force Israel to return to the borders approved by the UN, and allow Palestine to establish its own state with its capital in Jerusalem (Biden speaks of this goal as a long-term one).
If Israel “kicks up,” then Washington’s maximum program is to finally resolve the Israeli issue, which is already boring to the whole world (judging by the vote at the UN).
