The Middle East

It is extremely difficult to comment on the Middle East situation right now. The constellations and power structures are so messed up.

There are positive signs however. If the US makes some kind of two state solution together with Israel in Gaza, there is a true chance of peace. It still very much rests on the strict measuring of the military offensive capabilities of Hamas. Hamas has to be stopped.

In the Iranian war things are REALLY messed up. The closing of the Hormuz strait is a weird yet obvious offensive move. Weird because it hurts Iran itself the most, yet logical because it hurts the West a lot. It is also very peaceful, which essentially is a deescalation from the the attack on the Iranian nuclear infrastructure. Add to this Israeli attempt at empowering the Iranian people. Everything is really up in the air.

However, peace in one end may help in the other. So maybe peace in Gaza can have a positive effect in the war with Iran.

As an added layer to the complexity, NATO has been strengthened by the Iranian attack and is moving away from the European confrontation that the Danish pm Mette Frederiksen caused by going after the Danish Islam critics who are popular in the US.

I hope we will see some kind of settling. I personally support a two state solution. Mostly because this is what the Arab countries want and we are allied with them. But also because we need some calm now. It has been going on for too long.

Mr. Netanyahu hopefully feels, that I have respected him, and sees that I am his friend.

G-d bless the will to make peace in the Middle East. May we have progress, finally.
