Without peace in Gaza, any agreement is just another chapter in the book of global hypocrisy...
When Iran and Israel exchanged missiles, the world felt a sense of déjà vu. The scenario was familiar: warnings, threats, surgical strikes, and a series of declarations of “restraint” from the major powers.
This was the first time that war started with drones and ended with Twitter statuses.
Netanyahu, often described as a master of political survival through staged crises, had been warning the world for decades: “Iran is the existential threat.” He even drew a bomb on the UN podium, a symbol that looked more like a Lego game than a military intelligence analysis.
Meanwhile, Iran, a master of the language of resistance and Islamic symbolism, reacted as expected: with a precision strike on a US base in Qatar, a base that was already empty. Tehran, too, seems to prefer to "talk hard but strike lightly."
All this happened while in Gaza, thousands of civilians still live under shelter, without water, without power, without hope. No statement by Netanyahu, no UN resolution mentioned them on the evening news.
The big game
Behind the scenes, two international figures have built the framework of this new game: Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
The first, a relentless orator via social media, presents himself as the Middle East's peacemaker, a kind of nuclear 'Messiah' who distributes weapons and collects 'Nobels'.
The second, a strategist who never lets a crisis go to waste, uses the tension to cement control over Ukraine and offer "alternative stability" through the OCS and BRICS.
In the end, if a ceasefire does occur, it will be sold to us as a historic agreement. But let's not be fooled: this is not peace, it is a temporary suspension of aggression for tactical reasons.
And who wins?
Trump, who will be praised for de-escalation? Putin, who maintains the image of a calm leader in the face of Western chaos? Or Netanyahu, who turns fear into votes?
One thing is certain: the losers are the usual ones; the children in Rafah, the refugees in Hormuz, the civilians in Tel Aviv and Tehran living in fear of sirens.
If this world had a sense of strategic justice, the words “ceasefire,” “civil defense,” “dialogue” would not be terms used only after a nuclear explosion. Without peace in Gaza, any agreement is just another chapter in the book of global hypocrisy./ Pamphlet
