Global newspapers: Only Trump can stop the occupation of Gaza and save Israel from its government.

Many global newspapers have addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to occupy the city of Gaza, noting that U.S. President Donald Trump may be the only one capable of stopping this plan. Concerns are growing about the escalation of the situation in Gaza, where U.S. intervention is deemed necessary to avoid catastrophe.

In an article by Israeli writer Gideon Levy, the assassination of Anas Sharif, a prominent correspondent for Al Jazeera, was highlighted, considering it a deliberate execution. Levy strongly criticized the occupying army for killing journalists, pointing out his lack of trust in a state that prevents free coverage of the war.

Levy also criticized the Israeli media for adopting the army's narrative, asserting that Sharif was braver than any Israeli correspondent and could teach Israeli media lessons in the fundamentals of journalism. This criticism reflects the significant gap between media narratives and the true accounts of events.

An analysis in the American magazine Foreign Policy pointed out that Netanyahu's plan to control Gaza is illogical and a disaster for everyone. Trump is seen as the only hope for changing the course, as he could provide a plausible justification for Netanyahu to back down from his plan, helping to avoid escalation.

In the occupied West Bank, an investigation by The New York Times found that Zionist settlers are carrying out violent campaigns against Palestinian villages. With the world preoccupied with the Gaza war, these attacks have become routine, reflecting an escalation in assaults against Palestinians.

The investigations indicate that these campaigns by Zionist settlers are among the most violent since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in 1967. These events raise concerns about the humanitarian situation in the region and increase the suffering of Palestinians.

In another context, The Washington Post discussed the Trump-Putin summit, where the writers noted a fundamental misunderstanding mixed with hope and fear. Hope for Trump's success in pressuring Putin to end the war, and fear that Trump might heed Putin's demands.

The White House is lowering expectations about what can be achieved at this summit, reflecting a state of anxiety about the outcomes of the meeting. On the other hand, The Moscow Times viewed the summit as evoking feelings of anger and anxiety, but it also carries hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough.

The mere possibility of an American president receiving his Russian counterpart, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, in a U.S. state that was once Russian territory, represents a confirmation of Washington's deviation from its traditional allies.

These developments reflect the complexities of the international political situation and its impact on the Palestinian cause, where hope remains pinned on interventions that could change the course of events.
