An Israeli writer published an article in which he explained the reasons behind US President Donald Trump’s launch of his plan regarding the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli writer Uriel Daskal said in an article on the Hebrew website “Walla” that everyone is talking today about Donald Trump’s proposal to seize Gaza and transfer 1.8 million Palestinians, but the truth is that this is exactly what Trump wants: to divert attention from what is happening in Washington.

He explains that everything is going according to the plan of Steve Bannon, Trump’s former advisor, who described his media strategy as “shooting at the fastest rate,” as he said: “Since the media is made up of stupid people, they can only focus on one thing, so we have to drown them with a torrent of exciting news, and they will lose control of what is really important.. Bang, bang, bang, and they will not recover.”

The Israeli writer continues that this is why Trump throws out unrealistic proposals such as buying Greenland, occupying Panama, and moving Palestinians there, because he knows that the media will be preoccupied with these headlines, instead of focusing on the radical changes taking place within the US federal government.

He explains that while the media is preoccupied with Trump’s vision for Gaza, in Washington, a systematic and rapid dismantling of the US government and intelligence agencies is taking place.

He says that over the past two weeks, Elon Musk and his team have taken control of US financial data systems, canceled sensitive security protocols, fired senior officials, and shut down an entire government agency with a budget equal to only 0.25% of Musk’s personal wealth.

He explains that in return, six government agencies have resorted to the courts, which have issued arrest warrants against Musk and Trump, but that has not stopped the ambitious billionaire’s plan, who continues to dismantle federal institutions, driven by his new libertarian ideology and his quest to increase his power and wealth in an unprecedented way.

Israeli writer Uriel Daskal warns that one of the most dangerous developments is the attack on US intelligence agencies. The Trump administration has sent emails to all FBI and CIA employees, offering them compensation in exchange for resignation, in a move aimed at weakening the security services.

He continues that the matter does not stop there, as Trump is now demanding that the identities of federal agents who investigated the storming of Congress on January 6, 2021 be revealed, putting them and their families at grave risk, according to court orders trying to stop this.

He points out that even within the White House itself, there are officials who do not know what Musk will do next. The New York Times quoted internal sources as saying that Musk enjoys a level of independence that no one can control, which makes him the de facto president, while Trump provides him with political cover.

Daskal stresses that what is happening today in Washington is not just a political conflict, but a radical restructuring of the US government, which may affect not only the future of the United States, but also global security, including Israel. He concludes that if Trump and Musk pursue their extreme vision, the world will face a new era of political chaos, where large corporations control countries and governments are dismantled in favor of the wealthiest few.
