US President Biden has presented a plan for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.
It provides for the release of all hostages by Hamas and at the same time the withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza.
At this point Palestinian civilians would return to their homes and neighbourhoods in all areas of Gaza, receiving increased humanitarian assistance from the international community. The international community’s reconstruction of Gaza would then begin.
In this way – Biden underlines – Israel could integrate more deeply into the region, including a potential historic normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, becoming part of a regional security network to counter the threat posed by Iran.
The clear aim of the plan is to strike the BRICS, which Russia and China are part of, and Saudi Arabia has entered together with Iran, which the USA and Israel consider their most dangerous enemy in the region. However, the fact remains – concludes Biden – that Israel will always have the right to defend itself from threats to its security and that the United States will always ensure that Israel has what it needs to protect itself.
Biden’s plan perfectly fits the United States’ war strategy in the Middle East.
It maintains the strategic axis with Israel by continuing to supply it with the most advanced weapons systems and massive quantities of ammunition, including those with which Israel is razing Gaza to the ground. At the same time, he envisages reconstruction of Gaza – entrusted to the international community, i.e. mainly to the United States, Israel, the European Union, and the G7 – which, as the plan presented by Netanyahu specifies, would consist of rebuilding Gaza from scratchtransforming it into a massive free trade zone with luxury skyscrapers, eco-friendly solar power plants and electric car manufacturing plants.
The surviving Palestinians, returning to their homes and neighbourhoods, would find only rubble and would no longer have any real property rights. An inevitable mass exodus would follow, while those remaining would become dependent on the activities set up in Gaza by the international community. The Palestinian Territory of Gaza would thus be erased, together with that of the West Bank, erasing Palestine as a state.
