There is currently a competition going on between the EU and the USA about who talks the most with terrorists. One day you are a terrorist, the next day you are a peace partner with an important position in the EU’s or in President Trump’s visions and plans for peace in the Middle East.
At the same time as it was revealed that Hamas has built a network of terror cells in Europe, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff was on his way to a planned meeting with Hamas’s top negotiator Khalil al-Hayya in Istanbul on Wednesday. The meeting was canceled at the last minute, probably due to the revelation of this network. It came from the Mossad via the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and had the following title: «The Hamas Octopus» – A wave of revelations of the terror infrastructure built by the Hamas leadership in the heart of Europe»
At the same time, the PLO terrorist and Holocaust denier Abu Abbas was received in Italy during a state visit where he got to represent a state that does not exist. Pope Leo received him with open arms while expressing his sympathy for the civilians in Gaza without mentioning either the October massacre or criticizing the PLO’s and Hamas’s terror against both Jews and Arabs. In the Vatican’s statement, it read:
«During the cordial discussions, it was acknowledged that there is an urgent need to provide assistance to the civilian population in Gaza and to end the conflict by pursuing a two-state solution.»
Abbas also escaped being confronted with EU concerns that the PA continues to use EU funds to pay terrorists according to the number of Jews they kill, despite the PA’s declaration that this criminal practice had ended. The terrorist was also not confronted with the content of the textbooks under his control. IMPACT-se has recently published a report of 396 pages where 290 PA schoolbooks and 71 teacher guides from the period 2025-2026 are thoroughly reviewed. The result shows that Arab children are still being brainwashed and trained for jihad, to murder Jews, and that the books’ content is still permeated by the same antisemitism the PA claims to have removed.
Equally strange was seeing the self-declared Syrian President Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa being received in the Oval Office at the White House, while the arrest warrant for him as a terrorist and the reward of 10 million dollars had been removed. Forgotten was September 11th and forgotten were the countless terror victims, whether they were Arabs, Yazidis, Alawites, or Druze.
Economic interests are one of the driving forces behind the acceptance and tolerance of today’s Jew-hatred and Islamist terrorism in both Europe and the USA. In these waters, Israel, Western Jews, and the remaining indigenous peoples in the region must be prepared to have to fight to survive.
The ILO and the Terror State of Qatar
An even more frightening example of the West’s moral decay was seen this week in connection with the debate about moving the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) regional office from Beirut to Doha. The ILO is well aware that the terror state of Qatar has about three million workers, many of whom work as slaves for the country’s approximately 300,000 Arab inhabitants who belong to the same Saudi Arabian tribe. A body established to protect workers’ rights is now considering moving its operations to a city mainly populated by immigrants working under what must be described as slave conditions!
Qatar, about which we have written several times previously, finances the Muslim Brotherhood’s terror activities in the West and in the Middle East by buying influence at universities and in various sports organizations. Together with Iran, they support Hamas’s terror activities against Israel. That the UN cooperates with Qatar should not surprise anyone. The problem is President Trump’s financial relationship with Qatar—the country behind the enormous antisemitic waves that have ridden the American universities at the same time as the Muslim Brotherhood tightens its grip in both the USA and the rest of the West.
Trump’s Economic Interests
Trump’s economic interests lying behind the cooperation with Qatar and the rearmament of Saudi Arabia are in themselves a challenge for Israel’s military status in the region. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Washington recently concluded with the US’s largest arms deal with Saudi Arabia. The result was a staggering deal worth trillions of dollars. Forgotten is September 11th and forgotten is the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered and dismembered in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
The rearmament of Arab countries must be seen in the context of the EU’s, the Vatican’s, and the UN’s plans for a two-state solution, which in reality is a three-state solution. The resolution the USA proposed and which was adopted by the UN Security Council with 13 of the 15 members’ votes on Monday (Russia and China abstained), means the deployment of an international stabilization force in the Gaza Strip, the establishment of a transitional administration of which Trump himself becomes the supreme leader, with the possibility of a Palestinian state if the terror organizations in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza undergo a profound transformation from terrorists and antisemites into peace doves.
In Resolution 2803, adopted by the Security Council on November 17, 2025, the following is stated under point 19:
«While the reconstruction of Gaza progresses, and when the PA’s reform program is implemented in a credible manner, the conditions for a credible path to Palestinian self-determination and statehood may finally be present, something we recognize as the Palestinian people’s ambition.»
Everyone whom it does not directly concern agrees on the two-state solution. But what will they do when both Israel’s Prime Minister and Minister of Defense stand firm that a new Palestinian state is out of the question? And when Hamas flatly rejects the entire resolution?
Is Israel Being Sacrificed Again?
Behind the gigantic economic agreement between the USA and Saudi Arabia lie both opportunities and challenges for Israel.
The talks with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince include Trump’s commitment to sell Saudi Arabia F-35 fighters, cooperation on civilian nuclear power, critical minerals, access to advanced AI technology, and much more. The F-35 is not just a plane. It is a powerful flying intelligence unit that until now has given Israel airspace sovereignty over the Middle East. Fortunately, Israel managed to persuade Trump not to sell F-35s to the dictator Erdoğan, and the sale to Saudi Arabia may take at least ten years to be realized, but it nevertheless represents a threat Israel takes seriously. Equally serious for Israel are Trump’s plans to sell Saudi Arabia access to American AI, something that could put the whole world in grave danger, especially if some of this ends up in Chinese hands.
Whether these agreements will put Israel’s existence in danger or if they will prevent Russia’s, China’s, Turkey’s, and Iran’s influence in the region and bring peace remains to be seen. Trump presents this entire gigantic economic agreement with Saudi Arabia as an important step toward a future normalization process where Saudi Arabia can join the Abraham Accords.
But there is no indication that the Crown Prince is about to acknowledge that Gaza, Judea, and Samaria, which were illegally occupied by Egypt and today’s Jordan for 19 years, were never declared a «Palestinian state.» The remaining 76% of the Palestine Mandate was, after all, separated out and converted into a Palestinian state that later changed its name from Transjordan to Jordan.
A New Colonial Round in the Middle East?
The struggle for hegemony in the Middle East with its oil wealth, which has been going on between England and the USA since the 1930s (read: The Secret War Against the Jews by John Loftus and Mark Aarons), has cost the entire region’s indigenous populations dearly, the Jews included.
It may now look as if we are heading into a new round where terror states like Qatar, Iran, and Turkey, as well as countries like Russia and China, will be able to counteract the pro-Western front Trump is trying to build in cooperation with Saudi Arabia. The goal is to serve the USA’s economic interests while, according to Trump’s understanding, contributing to regional stability, so that he can write himself into the history books as the world’s foremost peacemaker. We hope that this will not be at the expense of Israel’s security interests. The USA is still an important friend and ally, but that gives no reason for Israel to reduce its vigilance; quite the contrary.
