Blinken's 9th visit successful
Contrary to what is being said about Blinken’s visit to the colony, Qatar and Egypt, during the month of August 2024, that it was a failure, it was not so, but rather it was successful by American-Israeli standards, in terms of the goal of the visit, which achieved its goal according to the understanding between Netanyahu and the administration of the shaken President Biden.
The US Secretary of State's ninth visit to the Arab region, like his previous repeated visits, was aimed first at reaching an understanding with the head of the colony's government, Netanyahu. None of his previous visits was aimed at stopping the war on the Gaza Strip, or sympathizing with the suffering of the Palestinian people. The common goal between them is always how to get rid of Hamas and the Palestinian resistance, but with the least possible losses, while being careful not to expand the network of clashes, and not to turn into a regional war, the rhythms of which are difficult to control, so that it does not turn into a war in which Russia contributes through direct support for Iran, in confronting the colony and the United States, because it will weaken the American role and support for Ukraine against Russia.
The first factor for the United States is to support the colony and provide all the needs it requires in its battle against the Palestinian people, because the struggle of the Palestinian people is the title for changing the equations imposed on the Arab region since World War II and the birth of the Israeli colony in 1948, as a tool and base for American and European interests, in the face of the Arabs’ aspirations for freedom, independence, democracy and dignity.
The second factor is to avoid the Palestinian-Israeli conflict turning into a regional conflict in which Iran and perhaps Turkey participate due to the conflict between Israeli interests and goals and the regional aspirations of both Tehran and Ankara.
The third factor in Blinken’s repeated visits is to demonstrate the American role in stopping the war on Palestine, serving two American purposes:
First, in response to the Palestinian, Arab, Islamic, African lobby in the United States, for electoral reasons and motives, they had previously informed the Biden campaign administration that they would place a blank paper in the ballot boxes, expressing their protest, rejection, and condemnation of the Biden administration’s behavior in supporting the colony and covering up its crimes by preventing any condemnation targeting it internationally, in the Security Council or the International Court of Justice, or the International Criminal Court, or any similar manifestation on the global level, as well as their strong rejection of the support provided by the United States to the colony militarily, armament-wise, and financially so that it can continue its brutal, brutal, aggressive war against Palestinian civilians by killing tens of thousands, destroying infrastructure and all service facilities, and demolishing homes over the heads of their residents, under the pretext of pursuing and eliminating Hamas leaders.
The second American factor is the demonstration of interest by Blinken and his administration in working to release Israeli prisoners with dual Israeli-American citizenship, as American citizens, whom the Biden administration is working to release, in light of the electoral atmosphere for the presidency, the House of Representatives, and the Senate.
The goals of Blinken's visit, according to American-Israeli standards, achieved what Washington seeks: 1- Supporting the colony and reaching an understanding with it, 2- Not expanding the conflict and avoiding its transformation into a regional conflict, and the rest are details that fall within the service of these goals and their success, and employing all means of flexibility and deception to achieve them.
Let's look at three aspects of the prevailing scene:
First, American military support for the colony’s army, and the transfer of American and European armies to the region, whether in the Mediterranean, or the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Sea region surrounding Iran, in a clear message to Tehran and the colony.
Second, the continuation of the Israeli bombing, killing and war against the Palestinians, without reservation, hesitation or concern about any international deterrent measures.
Third, holding Hamas responsible for not reaching an agreement, which is not true and contrary to what is correct.
Blinken succeeded in his visit to the benefit of the Israeli colony, while the Palestinian people are still facing the price of survival, steadfastness and resistance alone, and they have no choice but this choice: the choice of resistance and dignity, and continuing the path on the path of freedom, independence and return.
