The overwhelming majority of the states across the globe still do not comprehend what they are really dealing with in the Middle East. To start with, the history of the Middle East can be compressed in one sentence: originally, the Arab tribal and clannish societies, and after World War II, the newly established Arab states for millennia have collectively terrorized the Jews and, since its inception, the State of Israel, while anathematizing the Jews in general for daring to exist at all among them. As a result, the State of Israel had to prepare to repulse the Arab armies as well as all the countless terrorist organizations with their evil religious ideologies, who have been hell bent on destroying the legitimate State of Israel and totally annihilating its inhabitants. Despite being plagued by the relentless attacks of all members of the Arab League until the very present, the small State of Israel has become politically a model democracy and intellectually, financially, as well as economically, a prosperous powerhouse. In the meantime, in stark contravention of their unobstructed prospects, the majority of the Arab states have continued indulging in either worldly tyrannical experimentations or arbitrary exercise of pseudo Islamic warfare against their own coreligionist “apostates” and all the “heretics” of the world - Mulhid or Zindiq in the Qur’an - that fundamentally destroyed their societies for the sole benefit of their devilishly corrupt godlike Overlords.
A hopeful new epoch in the Middle East’s future has opened up with the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020 by the State of Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Named after the biblical patriarch Abraham, designated as the common ancestor of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the Accords have opened up the prospect of permanent peace through full diplomatic recognition and widespread cooperation among the historically hostile peoples. Following four wasted years under the demented President Joseph R. Biden, the returning President Donald J. Trump revitalized his diplomatic efforts to normalize relations in the Middle East. The President’s 20-Point Plan of September 29, 2025, aims to end the war in Gaza and to define a blueprint for lasting peace in the region.
The art of peacemaking has always been the most complex diplomatic construct in history. Although President Trump’s 20-Point Plan will certainly undergo modifications, it rightly aims to avert one of the longest festering disasters in international politics, designed to rectify the failures of not knowing how to make peace. For this reason, President Trump’s Plan is definitely not merely another truce. On the contrary, it is a realistic peace Plan. For Israel, the Plan is a roadmap toward the end of endless precarious victories followed by tentative preparations for a new war. For the World of Islam - Ummah - the Plan’s fundamental message is clear: there will be neither peace nor a power equilibrium in the Greater Middle East and beyond until, in one form or another, Israel is legally recognized and accepted as a full member state of the region. The mandatory exclusion of all Islamic terrorist organizations from any peace deal is absolutely necessary if this new lasting peace is to be held together. Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and all the other Islamic religion-based death cults will only destroy this balance by their very nature. In this case, the entire plan will be disrupted, and chaos will certainly ensue, as it has since 1948, following every so-called ceasefire agreement.
An additional essential feature of President Trump’s Plan is that it will end the avalanche of perpetual lies by political Islam. The products of this monster abuse of a religion are barbarism, inhuman violence, and uncivilized cruelty. The infamous, yet falsely glorified, Muslim Martyrdom is self-defeating and, even more importantly, contrary to men’s rational desires of creation, happiness, as well as individual liberty. Voluntarily becoming the prisoners of such a catastrophic worldview means that all the Muslim states condemn themselves to stagnation and slow death.
And herein lies the real truth of President Trump’s Plan. In his second term, he realized that force can only be applied rationally, while the ruthlessly irrational use of force is nothing but destructive manipulation. Moreover, the former is practical when it is based on principles and is controlled. The latter must be decisively eliminated. Propagating an exclusive pseudo-religious nonsense is a deception to both its followers and to outsiders. Therefore, President Trump is a realist, while the followers of political cum terrorist Islam are treacherous visionaries.
Contrary to President Trump’s strategic lucidity, almost all the countries of Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and in North America, Canada, are passing through a crisis of geopolitical idiocy. Mainly, the so-called Western states are being put in dangerous situations because of their incompetent leaders. Prime Minister Sanches in Spain, Prime Minister Carney in Canada, Prime Minister Starmer in Great Britain, President Macron in France, and many like-minded presidents and prime ministers are being lost in the many contradictions of their failed domestic policies as well as the collective incomprehension of their international interests. Moreover, through their moral incoherence and one-sided selective outrage, they foster chronic instability across the globe and dangerously incapacitate Western unity.
Fallacious narratives, false versions, and unfulfilled promises have already led to many unrealistic hopes and grotesque illusions. The ensuing violence has also caused too much hatred and division. Historically, confusing right and wrong had always led to assured disasters. President Trump’s 20-Point Plan must succeed because it will provide the Middle East with lasting peace, not just on paper, but also in practice.
