When America's interests collide with those of the occupying state: the priority is for the former.

Donald Trump hoped that the signing of the prisoner exchange agreement, which was signed three days ago, would coincide with his entry into the White House, where the mediators at that time succeeded in obtaining the approval of the resistance, but Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the "International Criminal Court," continued to manipulate the White House and thwarted that deal.

At that time, Trump was not talking about stopping the aggressive war and starting a peace process in the Middle East as he does today; rather, his only concern was to put his stamp of heroism on an agreement that would lead to the release of Israeli hostages only.

Just as Netanyahu succeeded in manipulating the Biden administration, continuing a pattern of manipulation with previous administrations, he managed to manipulate the Trump administration for more than nine months, during which the latter granted him more than one opportunity and provided him with everything necessary to complete the mission, but he failed to achieve any of the war's objectives except for those related to the destruction of the Gaza Strip, raising the human cost, and drying up the means of life in the sector.

Netanyahu did not stop repeating his goals for continuing the barbaric war, starting with the destruction and dismantling of the resistance movement, to forcibly releasing his captives, to displacing the residents of the sector, and reoccupying and settling it.

Trump practically and publicly adopted those goals and spoke of the "Riviera of the Middle East" without the people of the sector, but he too succumbed to failure, until he reached a breaking point and was forced to intervene strongly to end the aggressive war through negotiations.

This came after the failure in Gaza, the failure to overthrow the Iranian regime and destroy its nuclear project, and the failure to remove the "Ansar Allah" (Houthi) group from the equation of conflict to open the roads for international trade, and after the transformations that occurred following the occupation state's aggression against Qatar and the failure of the assassination attempt on the negotiating Hamas delegation.

In his own words, Trump said that he could not continue facing a world that had turned away from supporting the American-Israeli war.

It seems that Trump belatedly realized that the failed Netanyahu was trying to manipulate him and his administration, and that he was threatening American interests in the region, and also pushing towards increasing isolation for America and the Israeli state on the international level.

Trump is not unaware of the risks arising from shifts in American public opinion, including both the "Democratic" and "Republican" parties, which repeated American opinion polls indicate have deeply struck the Israeli narrative and are strongly pressuring the American political level.

Behind Trump's decision to end the war stands his keen desire to save the occupying state from itself, after Netanyahu and his extreme "right-wing" coalition took it to the brink of disaster, as many Israeli officials acknowledge.

This shift in Trump's position also came after crossing the red line when he ordered the bombing of Doha, which raised doubts and negatively affected the confidence of America's allies in the region regarding its commitments to protect their security and stability.

Trump could have endured for some time the anger of his Arab allies if Netanyahu had succeeded in achieving the war's objectives, and regained the ability to subjugate them under the influence of Israeli power and to continue plundering the wealth of the Arabian Gulf and obtaining more funds, but he was no longer able to protect his country's interests in the region, with the ongoing Israeli failure that no longer had a specific ceiling.

Thus, we must reach the conclusion that Trump was not as serious and resolute as he is today regarding the necessity of stopping the barbaric war and attempting to achieve its objectives through diplomatic means.

In terms of timing, we cannot exclude Trump's personal goal of seeking the "Nobel Peace Prize," but this goal was not sufficient to explain the matter, no matter what is said about Trump's narcissism.

Gaza is not qualified to be under American guardianship as many believe and as Trump desires; this is still a matter of negotiation and discussion.

But what is certain is that the occupying state has become under American guardianship, as Netanyahu was not free to act and make decisions, but had to comply with the American decision.

This is evidenced by his meeting with Weitkov and Kushner before entering the government meeting to approve the deal, and their presence at the meeting for half an hour was enough to ensure the decision was made.

This is also evidenced by America starting to establish a military unit of 200 soldiers stationed at one of the Israeli military bases to monitor the implementation of the agreement.

In contrast, American sources confirm that they are not in the process of sending any military forces to
