What was agreed upon in Washington?

Netanyahu held three unusually consecutive meetings with President Trump at the White House, without either of them disclosing the content of the meetings. The meetings took place without any clear understanding of what was agreed upon. However, what we see after Netanyahu's return may explain some of what was agreed upon, particularly regarding the continued procrastination in negotiating a ceasefire in Gaza, and even the escalation of bombing, killing, and destruction. We are also witnessing an escalation in violence and extremism in Syria, where Druze residents are subjected to unprecedented attacks by groups affiliated with the new government, which is under the leadership of "Sharaa." Is what we are witnessing these days part of what Netanyahu's meetings in Washington included? Was this prepared? Or are there other issues that were agreed upon, the details of which will become clearer in the coming weeks and months?

What's striking here is Trump's direct intervention in the outcome of Netanyahu's trial, pushing him to halt it. This is unprecedented. No American president has ever interfered in the course of trials and legal cases in Israel. However, Trump is working diligently and tirelessly for Netanyahu, and yesterday he dispatched the US ambassador to Israel to attend the trial.

Since returning from his last visit to Washington, Netanyahu has been acting as if he possesses undisclosed secrets. It seems that the convergence between Trump and Netanyahu will keep the region vulnerable to the storms of war, conflict, and destruction. At the same time, Netanyahu has received full assurances of support from Trump, especially regarding the war on Gaza and the ongoing genocide. This explains the procrastination in negotiations and the reluctance to conclude any agreement.

Amid this suspicious ambiguity surrounding what happened behind the scenes at the White House, the region remains hostage to agreements concluded behind closed doors, resulting in more bloodshed and destruction on the ground.

What we are witnessing in Gaza and Syria may be only the beginning of larger transformations, the maps of which are being drawn in the shadows, while the people pay a heavy price for undeclared agendas. Until the full truth is revealed, we will continue to wonder: Were the Washington meetings a prelude to an even harsher phase? Or are other arrangements being made to divide the divided and fragment the fragmented?
