Editorial: Le Monde

• Donald Trump promised to measure his successes not only based on won battles, but also ended wars and even those not entered.
• Trump displays consistent alignment with Israeli positions, especially with the move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and unilateral recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
• Trump proposed the idea of U.S taking control of the Gaza Strip, which would imply displacing the Palestinian population.
• These actions are consistent with the vision of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict promoted by the Israeli racist, far-right, and supremacist factions.
• Trump might also express a stance regarding potential annexations in the occupied West Bank.
• These actions amount to a rejection to the legitimate right of Palestinians to self-determination and align with a kind of denialism.
• Sustainable peace can only be achieved through compromise, not through oppression.

Conclusion: Denial of Palestinian rights and adoption of extremist stances can jeopardize normalization possibilities between Israel and other regional powers like Saudi Arabia, and threaten Middle East stability.
