Netanyahu's new intentions in Iran and the Middle East

Israel now speaks of giving peace a chance, saying that the massive and systematic bombing of Iran could be halted if Ali Khamenei stops bombing Israel and enters into nuclear negotiations with the United States., that is, with Israel, since the humiliation suffered by the country that is probably the oldest in the world.

Is Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal genuine? It seems hard to believe, precisely because the military victory has been overwhelming and has boosted his popularity. We could be facing another lie, another attempt to show the world a friendlier face after the tens of thousands of Palestinian children and women killed in the Gaza Strip.

This weekend, the United States and Israel deceived Iran into believing that they had not yet decided to attack its nuclear facilities. Donald Trump's lie consisted of making Tehran believe that there was room for negotiation., so nothing seems to oppose the idea that the new peace offer Netanyahu is talking about is actually the penultimate tactical lie, designed to buy time.

Several Israeli analysts agree that Netanyahu and his entourage are surprised by the fact that after ten days of bombing that have left hundreds dead, the Iranians have not taken to the major cities to express their condemnation of the regime. Netanyahu expected revolts and has not seen them. Even Trump has expressed his disappointment by raising this point in front of microphones.

The Israeli prime minister is taking advantage of the opportunity that has been created to reorder the Middle East, for which he has Trump's unconditional support. On Sunday, the US president showered Netanyahu with praise, and the military victory over Iran opens the way for him to dictate the conditions under which the region will navigate in the coming years, possibly the coming decades.

Reconfigure the region

Netanyahu wants to leave the Middle East subject to Israeli interests.Elections, if not brought forward, will take place in Israel in the fall of 2026. But Trump still has at least three and a half years left in the White House, and Netanyahu can maneuver to be reelected for another term in a deeply divided country. but it has also won with the systematic bombing of the Gaza Strip. However, this doesn't mean we can achieve the stable, long-lasting peace that many Israelis who are caught up in Netanyahu's juggling act think. In fact, we may very well be moving further away from this goal.

In other words, can the chapters with the Palestinians and Iran be definitively closed? That's undoubtedly what Netanyahu is seeking, but for now, these are two unanswered questions. Only a negotiated solution could move us toward a solid peace.
