Biden’s signs of senility, the fentanyl crisis, the dearth of life and the disaffection of the democratic left wing in the face of the Israeli massacres in Gaza, would have sunk his popularity to historic lows, which would facilitate the triumphant return of Donald Trump in the November presidential elections by having cleared the way to the White House after the latest decisions of the Supreme Court.
Also, six months after the invasion of Gaza, Israeli society’s disaffection with Netanyahu would have increased due to its nefarious management of the crisis with Hamas and its zero interest in rescuing the Jewish hostages alive and according to the average of the latest electoral polls the Likud of Netanyahu would be arrested in the event of new elections as demanded by the new strongman of Israeli politics, Benny Gantz.
Consequently, the tense telephone call between Biden and Netanyahu would have laid the foundations for an agreement that would benefit both leaders, consisting of the total withdrawal of the Israeli army from a Gaza which will remain a demilitarized zone under the control of the UN Blue Helmets, with which Lebanon and Iran would now be on the target of Israel and the Pentagon who will proceed to their destabilization by expedited methods.
End of the War Campaign in Gaza?
After the asymmetrical punishment inflicted by Israel, all basic infrastructure, schools, mosques, hospitals and 90 per cent of Gaza’s buildings were reportedly razed by systematic aviation bombardments resulting in more than 34,000 Palestinian civilian casualties and several thousand more buried in the rubble
The real objective of the Gaza military campaign was to provoke a second nakba in which 1.5 million Palestinians were forced to leave a Gaza turned into a mass of rubble and human remains that would make it impossible for the displaced Gazan population to return and confined to the open-air concentration camp in Rafah, described by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, as “apocalyptic”, while warning ” of the growing risk of genocide.
Such forcible confinement of the Gazan population would be a measure of pressure on Egypt to open its border and settle the Palestinians in the Sinai Peninsula, after which Israel would proceed to the unilateral declaration of sovereignty over Gaza and its maritime areas. To complete his ethnic cleansing, Netanyahu would have ordered the final assault on Rafah prior to evicting the thousands of Gazans held there, military operation that the US would have forbidden him in the certainty that such an operation would result in a new massacre of civilians unaffordable by world public opinion.
Thus, Netanyahu would already be cornered by the international community’s condemnation of the flagrant violation of human rights in Gaza with about 35000 Palestinian civilian victims that has resulted in the presentation by South Africa to the International Tribunal in the Hague (ICC)of a lawsuit against Israel for alleged “crime of genocide”. However, the Solomonic decision of the Tribunal allowed the continuation of the genocide of the Gazan population, using starvation and the lack of medical supplies as weapons of war in the face of the passivity of the US and Europe but Biden and Netanyahu would have agreed the total withdrawal of the Israeli army from a Gaza that will remain as a demilitarized zone under the control of the UN blue helmets.
Lebanon and Iran in the Crosshairs of Israel and the US
According to the agreement between Biden and Netanyahu, Lebanon and Iran would now be on the target of Israel and the Pentagon who would destabilize them by expedited methods, which would mean the beginning of a great regional conflict that will mark the future of the area in the coming years.
In this context, the recent Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus that, according to the Syrian agency SANA, resulted in the death of three senior commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Among them would be Brigadier General Mohamed Reda al Zahedi coupled with the latest attacks in Lebanon against Hamas leaders, which would be the Israeli bait to provoke the entry into conflict of Hezbollah and Iran.
According to the secret agreement reached between Biden and Netanyahu, the CIA and the Israeli Mossad would prepare similar false flag attacks in the Persian Gulf and after attributing their authorship to the Iranians and taking advantage of the consequent Iranian response, declare the US Congress a state of war.
This process is known as “statutory authorization” and is a prerequisite for President Biden to be able to apply the 1973 War Powers Act that empowers him to send troops abroad.
Thus, taking advantage of the fact that Russia is occupied with Ukraine, China surrounded by the nuclear crisis arc of the AUKUS to protect Taiwan and that the strategic reserves of the US are at maximum, the Pentagon will take advantage of the surprise attack of Israel to Iran to initiate a new war in the Middle East with the double objective to dry up the energy sources of China and to configure the cartography of the New Middle East.
