Some "fresh" news seemed to breathe life into the climate of horror that the long-suffering Palestinian population is experiencing today: France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia decided to recognize the independent Palestinian state.
But as soon as the announcement was made, "a group of U.S. congressmen sent a letter to the governments of those four countries, with copies to U.S. President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, rejecting the announced intention of those nations to recognize the Palestinian state at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, which begins in New York."
This action is part of an increasingly dire reality that reminds us who the real culprits of genocide are.
Let us recall that shortly before the November 2024 presidential election, in which Republican candidate Donald Trump won the vote, he devoted most of his campaign to "promises" that, over time, have turned out to be electoral lies.
He focused his crusade on portraying himself as the president who would rid the United States of immigrants, assured that he would achieve peace in Ukraine as soon as he reached the White House, and promised to resolve the Palestinian issue and secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. "I will achieve this in a week," he claimed.
At that time, there was a lot of talk that "now it's going to happen," and some even thought it was possible that he would rethink the policy toward Cuba.
Naivety? Confusion between wishes and reality? A bit of both, and much more. Trump's time in the White House has shown that it is more of the same, and now, with the person in charge of foreign policy, it is impossible to think rationally.
Let us remember his confidence when he expressed the slogan "promises made, promises kept." At least so far, all the promises that gave a glimmer of hope for a peaceful world have been broken.
The Israeli genocide against the Palestinians is an issue that moves the world and that every day awakens us to more crimes and more children massacred by bombs or hunger.
Trump, who boasted of seeking peace, has increased his involvement in the crime, not only financing the war and sending sophisticated weapons for Israel to use in the genocide, but also being, perhaps, among all U.S. leaders, the one who has most vetoed in the UN Security Council any initiative, even if only for a ceasefire, that has been proposed by the international community.
For the umpteenth time this year, the Security Council has met to demand an end to the genocide, and each time the U.S. government, read Donald Trump, has rejected the initiative and opted to continue the massacre.
Understanding this reality would go a long way toward avoiding confusion about what might appear to be the image of a Trump who truly wants to solve problems. As if the veto at the UN were not enough, Trump himself is the author of the proposal to turn Gaza into a tourist Riviera, and to do so, if there are still any Palestinians left there, to expel them to other countries. In other words, to definitively leave the Palestinians without a homeland, without a country.
The crime in Gaza and throughout Palestine is beyond imagination, and it is not only Netanyahu who has blood on his hands and soul, but also, and to a much greater extent, every government and every president who has occupied the White House. Trump is no exception.
