DONALD Trump’s unpredictability is the subject of much discussion, but his proposed theft of the Gaza Strip is predictable, as part of an alleged bargain he made with the Zionists who bailed him out of his financial woes. Trump’s bankruptcy in the 1990s was handled by bond trader, Wilbur Ross of Rothschild Inc., and it has been claimed that the deal assured him that he would become a two-term president, in exchange for driving through the Zionists’ plan of a Greater Israel.
Trump’s deal-making relies on his never failing to keep his side of a bargain, and he is indentured to Israel’s founding family, the Rothschilds. Lionel Walter Rothschild was the recipient of the fateful letter – dubbed The Balfour Declaration – addressed to Lord Rothschild by Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour in 1917, that stated Britain would look favourably upon the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. Leaving aside that the document was a letter to a private individual, Palestine was under the Ottoman Empire that Britain was fighting and losing to in the First World War. The Foreign Office, therefore, promised land that was not its own to give. The Rothschilds headed the international Zionist movement, and, through their increasing power and influence over the decision-making process in the U.S., were confident that they could bring the U.S. into the war on Britain’s side to turn the tide of events in Britain’s favour, in exchange for Britain’s support for their project.
This was, therefore, another illegitimate deal, made between a group promising to exercise the undue influence it had no right to possess, for what the other side categorically did not possess – any rights over the land of Palestine. Britain simultaneously made conflicting promises of freedom and independence to the Arab tribes as long as they rebelled against the Turks and helped Britain gain an advantage over the Ottoman Empire. These were promises Britain had no qualms in breaking. Trump’s post on Truth Social depicting the shift from a war-torn Gaza to that of a luxury resort Trump’s plan to redesign the map of Palestine without Palestinians is the burlesque culmination of the betrayal and treachery perpetrated by the U.S.-AngloIsraeli Empire that is now firmly out of the closet.
Beyond the lands of the Occupied Palestinian Territories that belong to the Palestinians, the 2019 report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) stated that geologists and natural resources economists had confirmed that the Occupied Territories lay above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in the West Bank and in the Mediterranean off the coast of Gaza. The report stated that occupation continued to prevent Palestinians from developing their energy fields and, as such, the Palestinian people had been denied the benefits of using this natural resource to finance socioeconomic development and meet their energy needs. The accumulated losses are estimated in the billions of dollars.
The study identified and assessed existing and potential Palestinian oil and natural gas reserves that could be exploited for the benefit of the Palestinian people, which Israel is either preventing them from exploiting, or exploiting itself without regard for international law. In 1999, British Gas (BG) discovered a significant gas field in the Gaza Marine f ields just 20 miles off Gaza. The Palestinian Authority granted BG a 25-year exploratory concession as a partner, but the Israelis blocked its development. In 2016, Royal Dutch Shell, whose largest shareholder is Victor Rothschild, paid BG $52m for the field. In the context of the former ‘conspiracy theory’ of Greater Israel, it is important to understand that Gaza’s maritime gas reserves are part of a broader coastal area of natural gas that extends from the Egyptian border to Northern Syria, that Israel intends to claim.
Trump has announced that the U.S. annexation of Gaza would be in the form of a ‘long-term ownership position’. As Prof. Alon Ben-Meir explains in his article on Global Research entitled, The Arab States Must Stop Trump and Netanyahu In Their Tracks, the Arab League were convening an emergency summit in Cairo, that was due to take place on March 4. It is time for them to join forces and issue a unanimous and stern warning to the U.S. that unilateral actions that have such a devastating effect on the region will not be tolerated, now or at any time in the future.
The U.S. provides Egypt and Jordan with $3.2bn in annual aid. But this is a drop in the ocean compared to the Gulf states’ foreign reserve funds of over $700bn. They could make up the shortfall if the American aid were withdrawn. Saudi Arabia could threaten to substantially reduce oil production, which would affect the petrol prices Americans pay at the pump.
The Gulf states, Egypt and Jordan could suspend procurement of American weapons. The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco, who have signed the Abraham Accords to normalise relations with Israel, could warn Israel that they will rescind that normalisation if Israel makes any attempt to exile the Palestinians. Egypt and Jordan could recall their ambassadors from Israel, and Saudi Arabia could reiterate that it will not normalise relations with Israel under any circumstances. These are actionable measures the Arab states could take collectively. Alongside a joint declaration of solidarity, the Arab states need to advance a comprehensive Arab-led reconstruction plan for Gaza, as well as taking whatever steps necessary to help establish a unity government representing all the Palestinian political voices.
