American presidential elections: the world holds its breath
Donald Trump or Kamila Harris? The Americans will elect their president this Tuesday, November 5. They chose between the ghostly and fanciful Donald Trump who was defeated by Democrat Jo Biden four years ago.
The current American president has given up running for a second term for health reasons. He was replaced at short notice by Kamila Harris. The two candidates are neck and neck in the polls (48% Democratic, against 47% in favor of the Republican candidate) and these are the seven “ Swing States » who will referee the election, according to the media.
This American election makes us fear the worst. Firstly because of the risk of unrest in the United States, the greatest economic and military power on the planet. Then, because of the repercussions of Trump's return to the White House where he did not leave good memories.
Supported by Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, it was he who recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. During the election campaign, he incited his friend to bomb Iran.
It was Donald Trump who initiated the Abraham Accords to normalize relations between Arab countries and Israel. It recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in exchange for the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Morocco.
In terms of foreign policy, Kamila Harris advocates the continuity of that traced by Joe Biden with firm support for Israel, while promising the Palestinians to “ fight so that they can realize their right to dignity and self-determination ».
Under Biden, the United States has provided, and continues to provide, decisive support to Israel in its war against the Palestinian people, providing it with the weapons necessary to carry out the massacres of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.
