Putin and Netanyahu trample on the biggest dream of Donald Trump. Will stay with nothing [OPINIA]
Trump likes to be praised as the main conciliator – which members of his office humbly accept. Meanwhile, in fear of losing federal funds, legislators from the Republican Party, leaders of American corporations, governors of states and dean of universities outdo each other in meeting his commands – just like EU leaders do.
However, two men who could help him win the Nobel Prize – the Prime Minister of Israel Binjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin – make it difficult for him, refusing to end the world's most efficient wars in the world, because they are associated with them with their own political interests.
Netanyahu and Putin actually play the US president on the nose. Following their own path, they are undoubtedly convinced that they will either convince him of their way of thinking, or that he would still be the president of Taco (Trump Always Chickens Out – Trump always withdraws).
In July, Netanyahu tried to gain the favor of Trump, joining four other state leaders who recommended him to the prize, joining the Reich of American legislators who nominated him. Since then, however, the Israeli leader has not played fair.
He continued the military offensive in the Gaza Zone, which was accompanied by Hunger caused by Israel, which prompted France, Great Britain and several other countries to announce that next month during the General Assembly of the UN General Assembly they would officially support the creation of the Palestinian state.

Despite this, at the weekend, Trump was optimistic about the prospect of concluding an agreement, claiming that Israel accepted his terms regarding the contract of hostages that would end the war. However, as Israeli officials clearly emphasized, Netanyahu has not yet convened a meeting of the office to discuss the latest peace frame. What's more, it was unlikely that he would oppose political partners from his far -right ruling coalition, who perceive this moment as a chance to fulfill their dreams of great Israel, restoring the biblical lands of Jews, and they do not want to end the campaign in the Gaza Strip.
In the middle of the week, the Israeli leader seemed to destroy or at least reduce the chances of a peace agreement negotiated by the United States, conducting a bold, though unsuccessful, air action against runny nose – an ally of the United States, who passed himself to please Trump during his official visit to Diszy this spring. During this visit, Qatar also announced a commitment worth $ 1.2 trillion. [4 bln 355 mld zł] for the development of economic exchange with the United States.
Even worse, the leaders of Hamas-including the former political head of this combat organization Chalid Maszal, the main negotiator of Chalil al-Haija and the leader of the West Bank Zaher Jabarin-they gathered in Qatar to discuss the latest peace agreement, which was recently re-rewarded by Trump's buddy from the golf cours Witkoff. Israel claimed that the attack was a retaliation for the assassination of firearms in Jerusalem, in which six Israelis were killed and eight were injured, but it was clear that he had been planned for months.
Trump publicly criticized Israel for a raid of runny nose, but this does not seem to stop the stubborn Netanyahu: after what American officials described as a hot telephone conversation between Trump and the Israeli leader, the rebellious Netanyahu and the Minister of Defense of Israel Katz, they committed to continue attacks on “enemies everywhere”.
Netanyahu still bombards Palestinian territories and does not stop the far -right settlers from madness on the west shore – who want to join Israel – but is not the only person who puts obstacles on Trump's path. This week, it was again emphasized that Putin is not really interested in ending the war with Ukraine.
Since the summit with Trump in Alaska, where the US President resigned from the demand for immediate suspension of weapons, Putin escalates the conflict on all fronts. The Russian leader did not repay Trump in any way – on the contrary.
By showing indifference to Trump's sporadic threats, Putin tries to present Ukraine as an obstacle to peace. The Russian leader remains convinced that time works in favor of Moscow, and the military advantage of Russia over Ukraine is only growing, because Kiev has difficulty mobilizing human forces needed to defend the front line against Russian attacks.

Since Putin's departure from Anchorage, Russia has conducted even greater attacks with drones and rockets to Ukraine and for the first time since the beginning of the war she attacked the main government buildings in Kiev. The attack on the office of the Prime Minister of Ukraine took place just two weeks after a visit to the city of another envoy Trump, Keith Kellogg. As Kellogg noted on the internet: “The attack was not a signal that Russia wants to end this war diplomatically.” Despite this, his boss seems willing to strive for a room with diplomatic means.
On Wednesday morning, Russia went even further, disregarding NATO, entering the airspace of Poland and sending a dozen or so drones across the border through allied Belarus. Poles, with the help of NATO allies, managed to shoot down only a few of them, which emphasizes the weakness of NATO air defense on its eastern flank.
Many perceive Russian interference as a test of determination, unity and readiness of the alliance. It may be true, but it was probably also a test of Trump's courage, as well as a warning against the very idea of a significant distribution of NATO forces in Poland – or other so -called front countries bordering Ukraine – as part of a security guarantee for Kiev after the conclusion of the agreement.
The Kremlin message is clear: [te kraje] They will not necessarily be safe. So far, the reaction of the US President to what is a glaring provocation has been strangely subdued.
So the Nobel Peace Prize? In the case of Trump, it is more likely that he will stay with nothing.
