The State Department is trying methods - starring Secretary of State Blinken and National Security Advisor Sullivan - to appease the Ayatollah regime through far-reaching financial and diplomatic gestures, to promote human rights and democracy in Iran and to convince the Ayatollahs to agree to peaceful coexistence with their Sunni neighbors.

In order to advance the policy, the State Department ignores the conduct of the Ayatollahs since their takeover of Iran in February 1979, and also the centrality of the Ayatollahs' vision and ideology. The State Department believes that, like the West, the Ayatollahs will also enslave the ideology to financial considerations.


But, as expected, the Ayatollahs are guided by financial considerations to overshadow a 1,400-year-old fanatical and megalomaniacal religious vision, but instead leverage the dramatic gestures of the US - including the US dollar - to promote the ambitions to achieve the "Great American Satan", and upgrade the activity. - American In the fields of terrorism, drug smuggling, money laundering and the distribution of advanced combat systems around the world, with an emphasis on Latin America from southern Chile to the US-Mexico border.

The desire of the State Department to reach another agreement with the Ayatollahs, the lukewarm response to Iran's attacks and its metastases on American installations, ignoring the terrorist core of the "Muslim Brotherhood", and removing the Houthis from the list of terrorist organizations, to act to exert pressure on Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Emirates, are pushing these countries - Military and civilian - for the arms of Russia and China.

In 2024, the State Department - which has been systematically erring since its resolute opposition to the establishment of the Jewish state - increases the pressure for the establishment of a Palestinian state that will (in its estimation...) coexist peacefully. The State Department makes light of the conduct and vision of the Palestinians and bases the policy on Palestinian diplomatic statements and optimistic, but speculative, future scenarios.

[b]On the other hand, Arab leaders limit their support for a Palestinian state to saying-hugging-to-doing-indifferent-negative. They attach great importance to Palestinian subversive and terrorist conduct in Egypt (1950s), Syria (1960s), Jordan (1968-70), Lebanon (1970-82) and Kuwait (1990), and are aware of cooperation with terrorism. The Muslim Brotherhood", to the tyrannical, corrupt and terrorist nature of the PA, the education system and violent incitement in the PA, and the global record of the Palestinian leadership (increasing cooperation with Nazi Germany, the Soviet bloc, the Ayatollah regime, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba and training terrorist organizations in Asia , Africa, Europe and Latin America).

They are convinced that the Palestinian conduct shows that a Palestinian state will exacerbate the shocks of the Middle East, play into the hands of Islamic terrorism, Iran, Russia and China, and undermine their existence. They understand that a Palestinian state west of Jordan will bring about the overthrow of the Hashemite regime east of Jordan, will turn Jordan into a regional and global Islamic terror arena, will threaten all the regimes of the Arabian Peninsula and will provide a leeway for law-breaking elements.[/b]

In 2011, Blinken and Sullivan were among the initiators of the NATO attack that overthrew the Gaddafi regime, and turned Libya into an ungovernable country, a center of Islamic terrorism and drug smuggling in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, and the stage for civil wars that continue to rage with the involvement of Turkey, Qatar, Italy, Egypt. , United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and France.
Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by HolinessForever: 6:22pm On Feb 08
Secretary of State Blinken and National Security Adviser Sullivan are leading the State Department's efforts to subjugate the volcanic, volatile, treacherous, violent, tyrannical and intolerant inter-Arab reality of the past 1,400 years into a virtual reality of Western values ​​of peaceful coexistence, the observance of agreements, Human rights and democracy. The mining for the virtual Middle East stands out against an official background to the tsunami in the Arab street (which has been raging from 2011 until this moment) as if it were an "Arab Spring", despite 10 million refugees, and none of which 1948 killed 11 million Muslims in the Middle East, of which 35,000 (0.3%) in Israel's wars.

It is appropriate that the State Department listen to the insights of Prof. Vatikiotis from the University of London, who was a leading historian of the Middle East: "Inter-Arab conflicts are a permanent feature of the Middle East.... US policy must be based on the basic reality: inter-Arab relations are gone. develop linearly, and do not move from negative to positive or from positive to negative. They move in gray areas.... Agreements and arrangements are formed by leaders and regimes exposed to subversion and insurrection. This reality makes it very difficult to evaluate the inter-Arab relations and the relations between the Arabs and those who are Arabs..." Arab and regional politics in the Middle East, pp. 115-77).

Commentary: Sinwar is pulling as much time as possible into Ramadan next month in the hope of a flare-up

Sinwar continues to harden positions and take time when it comes to the abductee deal,
Looking at a person with a healthy rationale trying to get inside the head of the mass murderer Yahya Sinwar who is hiding in a bunker, it is hard to understand what motivates him to continue with the war, to refuse a ceasefire even if temporary and let's not talk about laying down his kiss.
The reasons we have received so far are many and varied: Jihadist logic, the sword is not sufficiently placed on the neck, he does not care about the Gazan people - everything is true. But a few months ago he agreed to a worse deal - what has changed anyway?


In about a month, the month of Ramadan is expected. For many years, Ramadan in Israel is the most tense period in terms of security, which over the years and every year causes unrest both in the territories, in Gaza and even in parts of western Israel.

Since the beginning of the war, Sinwar and his men have been trying to incite the Muslim world, the territories, and the Arabs of Israel to take to the streets en masse, carry out terrorist attacks and create a new intifada during a time of war that Israel will not be able to contain - fortunately, so far this has not happened and all his attempts have failed, Sinwar's last card to succeed in this mission is a month Ramadan - and it is likely that Hamas is delaying this month so that the agitation will finally succeed for them and the equation will be broken.


In Israel we need to prepare for this and steal from Hamas this card, which I believe is the last card in Hamas's strategic arsenal - after the failure of Hamas in all arenas, with adequate assessments and good political navigation, the event can be successful, and in my opinion only - cracks in Hamas will begin immediately after the failure in Ramadan and may even lead to for a hostage deal that Israel can accept.

We are facing a critical month in the war and a turning point here and there and Israel must win this battle as well.

The last stronghold
Arab reports: The IDF began the ground raid on the city of Rafah.*

The Arab media networks report that IDF forces have begun a raid on the western areas of Rafah
• The activity is being carried out simultaneously with the continued operation of our forces in the area of ​​the city of Khan Yunis
Meaning: Israel is not giving up control of the Philadelphi corridor and the Rafah crossing.
