“The greatest comeback in history. » Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was emphatic in welcoming Donald Trump's victory in the American presidential election against his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. “Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America”added the far-right head of government, congratulating his sidekick for his “huge victory” in the hope of ever more powerful support from its main ally while the war in Gaza and Lebanon brings its daily procession of victims under Israeli bombs.
Donald Trump multiplied the pledges during his first term
And for good reason. If outgoing Democratic President Joe Biden never broke his unconditional support for Israel or interrupted aid from the United States – including military aid – despite his vain calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, Donald Trump has multiplied, during his first mandate, the pledges to the colonial policy of Israel. It was he who gave the green light to the annexation of the Palestinian territories by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, where he moved the United States embassy, by recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. . He again who launched the normalization process (the Abraham Accords) between Arab countries and Israel. He who, in 2018, announced the American withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement (JCPOA).
It is not surprising that Israel Katz, transferred the day before from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to that of Defense after the dismissal of Yoav Gallant, strikes the same tone as Benjamin Netanyahu: “Together we will strengthen the US-Israel alliance, bring back the hostages and stand firm to defeat the Iran-led axis of evil”he posted on X (formerly Twitter). His replacement as head of diplomacy, Gideon Saar, for his part, welcomed the “strong and dedicated leadership” of Donald Trump here at “proven his commitment to Israel’s security”.
“I look forward to working with you to strengthen the strong bond between our people, to build a future of peace and security in the region and to defend our shared values”added Israeli President Isaac Herzog, addressing the newly elected official.
To be the newspaper of peace, our daily challenge
Since Jaurès, the defense of peace has been in our DNA.
- Which still informs today about the actions of pacifists for disarmament?
- How many media point out that decolonization struggles still exist, and that they must be supported?
- How much value do international solidarityand unambiguously commit to the side of the exiles?
Our values have no borders.
Help us support the right to self-determination and the option of peace.
I want to know more!
