The US president boasts that he saved the Israeli colony from collapse and defeat, and is working to save Netanyahu from trial and contempt. Has he succeeded? Will he be able to achieve this?

No one underestimates America's capabilities and global superiority, especially given that Russia is waging a war of attrition in Ukraine, and China's non-military options, not resorting to confrontation, but rather working diligently to enhance its economic superiority and development.

As long as the United States stands with colonization, with injustice, with occupation, and against the right of the Arab peoples to dignity, independence, and non-submission, and against the freedom and independence of Palestine, and the right of refugees to return to the cities and villages from which they were previously expelled, and to recover their property from, in, and on them, it will never win, and will not be in a position that enjoys respect, status, and appropriate humanity. Wealth and affluence, development, and superiority, if they are not linked to and supported by human values, and do not achieve justice for humanity, will not triumph. This is how Britain and France were, and they were defeated, along with all the colonial powers like them. This was the result of the United States' prolonged war on Vietnam.

In Palestine, despite the Israeli superiority, its barbaric bombing, its insane war, its deliberate killing of Palestinian civilians, and its targeted assassinations of resistance leaders, Palestine rises up, works, gathers its ranks, directs strikes at its enemy forces, and achieves successes. These successes may be individual or organized, but they reflect the rise of a people from their pain, burying their dead martyrs and continuing their choice. They have no choice but to resist and stand up to injustice, colonialism, occupation, and foreign invaders who have plundered their homeland and continue to do so. What they are doing in the villages of the Palestinian West Bank, Jerusalem, and even in the Palestinian Bedouin Negev is the model presented by the colony on how to deal with the owners of the land, the owners of the homeland, who have no choice but to stay and stand firm, and then resist.

The American president can provide all military, technological, intelligence and financial assistance to the colony, to continue its occupation, supremacy, killing and destruction of the lives of the Palestinian people, but America will not be able to provide the legitimacy of survival to the usurping occupier, and he will not be able to dictate submission and surrender to the Palestinian people, the Lebanese and Syrians, the Arabs, Muslims and Christians as long as they are right, with Palestine as it was the first of the two Qiblahs for Muslims, the second of the two mosques, and the third of the two holy sanctuaries, as it is for Christians the birth of Jesus Christ, his good tidings and his resurrection, it was, is and will remain.

Reaching a ceasefire agreement is not a gift from the Americans, nor is it a means of escape for the Israelis. Nor is it simply a Palestinian desire. Rather, it is the product of realities on the ground, where the colony failed to achieve its war goals, and where the Palestinians persevered despite the pain, suffering, killing, and destruction that befell them.

A political battle is a reflection of a military battle, and both will not stop. Rather, they are a cumulative station on the road, before which there are stations and after which there will be stations.
