Ok, this is my take on the new recalibrated situation in the Middle East.

First of all; a warm welcome to the new American administration. I fought for Kamala, yet we actually see eye to eye on most of the current issues. So I will remain in the ME to try and support you in the work; we have to secure peace and make Israel a viable and long living country.

I know that Mr. Netanyahu hoped he would have free rein in attacking Iran, and there is no doubt, that he will have a freer range of options. Yet Mr. Trumps goals are peace and America first.

This gives the whole dynamics a different pace. Where Mr. Biden has been setting limits to Israel, but has supported Israel quite upfront militarily. Mr. Trump will give Israel a freer range of motion, but not invest so much money and military power in the debacle.

So Israel is more free, yet less physically supported.

Add to this, the Saudi connection is actually strengthened in terms of US network. The Saudis like the Trumps, and trust them. Saudis are very ethical and lean on what is right. Here they see, that Trump is the ethical choice.

Add to this Russia is getting more closely involved, and since Trump wants to end the Ukraine war, the dynamics in this relationship will also change.

All in all, the pressure at Israel in relation to its friends; the US, Russia and Saudi Arabia are for peace.

So this is what will happen.

Dealing with Gaza and the hostages really is the basic issue. Here again, the Palestinian Arab seems to be willing to lay down weapons and free the hostages.

Now, I have, from the beginning been of the opinion, that the peace accords that have been the reality since Obama, was the right way to go. There is the issue of the freedom of the Iranian women, who so bravely fight for their independence. Also the Persian king. Yet, going down into total destruction in the Middle East is the price we will have to pay for the independence of the Iranian women.

That price is too steep. I am so sorry. Though supporting their cause is a priority that we will have to continue to do.

All politics comes down to choices, and you can’t choose both. But you can CONTINUE to support the cause of the women of Iran, and hopefully in the future they can be free.

G-d bless the providence of choosing the right thing, and may we see peace in the Middle East.
