Ceasefire: Between Rejection and Acceptance

Every party involved in the conflict and war, and affected by the American-Israeli aggression on Iran starting Saturday, 28/2/2026, and by the confrontation, clashes, bombing, and the still raging war, has an interest in stopping it in one way or another. We Arabs are paying the price and suffering the harm caused by the two parties to the conflict: 1- The American with the colony, 2- The Iranian, through war and mutual bombing. We have no interest in this war, its idea, its cause, or its repercussions. The only beneficiary is the Israeli colony, which seeks to achieve two goals: first, complete control in its occupation of the entire map of Palestine, and second, its dominance, control, and imposition of its influence over the entire Arab East, from the Jordan River to the borders of eastern Iraq. The different parties have interests, visions, and positions: First, the United States believes it has achieved what it wanted by destroying Iran's military capabilities for its land, air, and naval weapons and its nuclear sites, and it no longer sees anything else to do after bombing five to seven thousand Iranian sites. Iran has been seeking, since the third round of negotiations on 26/2/2026 in Geneva, to reach understandings and agreements with the United States, and these undeclared negotiations are heading in this direction. However, the harm has begun to affect American society through rising fuel prices, as gasoline prices for cars have increased by a third, causing inconvenience to the American citizen who has no interest in this war. Therefore, due to this high cost of fuel and American food commodities, the Republican Party, which holds the majority in both the House and Senate, will pay the price, and it is likely that it will lose this majority in the upcoming elections on 2/11/2026, due to the unprofitable war. For this reason, President Trump will work to expedite a ceasefire agreement. Second, Iran, which suffered harm, bombing, destruction, and the assassination of its main leaders: political, military, and security, managed to withstand despite the human and material losses it incurred. Despite this, it is still capable of delivering painful blows to the Israeli colony, and therefore has an interest in a ceasefire, from a position of strength. Third, the Arab Gulf countries, which suffered harm, along with: Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon, and which originally have no interest in this war and were harmed by it, have a primary interest before others in a ceasefire. Fourth, the three international parties: China, Russia, and Europe, have an interest in a ceasefire, and are making efforts, mediations, and interventions through Turkey, Egypt, Oman, and Pakistan to lay the groundwork for a ceasefire and the successful conclusion of an agreement, especially by Europe with China, which is the most affected. Fifth, as for the Israeli colony, which is the instigator, planner, and driver of this war, it is the only party that seeks to continue the war and complete the destruction of Iran's remaining capabilities. There is an Israeli similarity between the forces of the government coalition: the extremist political and hardline Jewish religious with the opposition party forces due to the existence of a "common enemy" for them, but they will split if a ceasefire occurs, especially with upcoming elections. Therefore, Netanyahu has no interest in a ceasefire until he achieves his full program and declares Iran's defeat and the victory of the colony's plan in planning and attacking Iran. A ceasefire will most likely be achieved in the coming days because the majority of the affected parties have an interest in reaching such a decision.
