How can we not rejoice at first? The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came on Sunday, immediately opening the way for the entry of the first humanitarian convoys into the Gaza Strip, where they are experiencing a dramatic situation. First three Israeli hostages have been released. The Pope was not mistaken, welcoming this measure during the Angelus prayer and calling for its respect. Francis knows it well: many uncertainties surround this fragile step towards peace.
Did he not intervene three hours late than the initial plan, giving rise to new anxiety among the populations, who have been suffering martyrdom for almost eighteen months? Isn't it just ” provisional ” (six weeks!), as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu keeps insisting? “We retain the right to resume the war if necessary and with the support of the United States,” he also affirmed. An American reference that owes nothing to chance.
Returning to the White House this Monday, where he will be officially inaugurated for a second term, Donald Trump arrives in a strengthened position. On the international scene as well as domestically. In the Middle East, therefore, but also in Ukraine, the 47th president of the United States wants to influence the conflicts.
In his country, he announced shock measures, and most certainly brutal ones. Migrants therefore face an unprecedented threat of expulsions. Chin shots? Not sure, as the tycoon has surrounded himself with a close guard determined to take action. Let us not be fooled, however: these threats deliberately create an anxiety-provoking climate. Trump wants to destabilize in order to rule better. In this unstable atmosphere, we must remain calm and vigilant.
