The ousting of Ukrainian leader Vlodomir Zelensky from the White House has shaken up the whole world! It has no precedent in the modern world — at least not as remembered — where the leader of a country who comes on an official visit is shamefully expelled even before a meeting.
There is no doubt that the Ukrainian president made all the possible errors when he arrived at the White House without any prior preparation. He already knew in advance what Trump thought of him and should have realized that under no circumstances should he parry with him publicly in front of all the cameras. He simply played into the hands of the American president who apparently was waiting for Zelensky's first blunder so that he could shame him before the world.
Simultaneously, Trump made it clear to whoever in the world did not yet understand, that the White House was being occupied by a different kind of man, a unique type of no compare in the world — not a politician, not a diplomat — but, as the only way to describe him: a horse trader who came to do 'business.'
In Trump's world there is the division between good and bad — with regard to business deals. The Russian dictator, Putin, is good for business, since he can help Trump in his fight against China, while Zelensky is bad for business, because his war with Russian not only cost the American taxpayer "trillions" of dollars, a sum greater than all the aid provided to Israel in these past many years, but interferes with Trump in closing many good business deals with Russia.
In this category, Israel plays a part in Trump's conception as being on the correct side of the map, while the Jihad terrorists are on the wrong side. Trump expects Israel to remove this obstacle in his path and pave the way to a big deal with Saudi Arabia, and from his viewpoint, all means are acceptable, or as he expresses it very bluntly: to "open the gates of Hell for them."
The first stage which Israel took was to cease "humanitarian" aid to the Gaza Strip, a small, insignificant step, because Gaza is flooded with food which can last for many months to come. The next stage which Israel is contemplating is shutting down supplies of electricity and water, and is only awaiting the green light from Trump. The world can shout, as it did until now, when huge supplies flowed directly to Hamas, enabling it to continue to exist. But if America agrees, the citizens of Gaza will have to learn to live without electricity, fuel and water.
As the days continue since Trump's rise to power, it becomes clearer how the previous Biden administration was responsible for the extension of the war for so many months. First and foremost, was the tremendous pressure exerted by Washington to enable the flow of aid to Gaza which enabled Gaza to survive during this long period. There is a real question if there is anywhere in world history where an attacked nation is expected to supply aid to its enemies, enabling it to continue fighting against it. Surely, if electricity, water and food had been cut off in the beginning, Hamas would not have been able to stand up to the starving Gaza population.
But humanitarian aid was not the whole story. The Biden administration generously supplied, through various bodies, billions of dollars to Hamas. A meeting which took place a week ago regarding the efficiency of the committee of supervision and reform of the American House of Representatives, showed that since the October 7th invasion and up to the end of the Biden administration, over two billion dollars was transferred from all of American foreign aid to organizations affiliated with Hamas.
Among the data presented to the committee was evidence of the transfer of money to Gaza organizations who purported to be charity organizations which called for "cleaning up our country from the profanity of the Jews". Among the leaders of these organizations was Abdul Salem Haniyeh, son of Ismael Haniyeh.
Another example exposed was the transfer of money to Bank Gamal Trust in Lebanon which, according to testimony from the members of the members of the staff of [chashiva] of the Middle East Forum, were earmarked by the bank to fund Hezbollah, while other funds reach Al Qaida branches in Syria.
