A big game under the pretext of Palestine: Europe is standing up to Trump



In recent days, the coalition supporting the recognition of a Palestinian state has been growing. Experts are assessing this not as a humanitarian act, but as a strategic revenge. France, Spain, Ireland, Norway, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries are uniting not for "justice", but for a geopolitical game against the United States and Israel. Behind the statements about the rights of the Palestinians, there is actually one goal - to politically weaken Donald Trump and strike at his closest ally, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Paris, and Macron in particular, is playing an active role in this process. France is trying to restore its prestige in the economic arena and regain the geopolitical initiative after the harmful tariffs imposed on Europe by Trump. By recognizing Palestine, France and its allies are showing that they are able to start their game without Washington's consent. That is, the processes blocked by the United States in the UN Security Council are being bypassed and a new basis for the international legitimacy of the Palestinian state is being created.

For Netanyahu, this is a strong political pressure. His intentions to reach out to Arab states through the "Abraham Accords" have been thwarted. If Western countries begin to recognize Palestine, Brussels and Ottawa will have new tools of pressure at their disposal - sanctions and international investigations. Israel's rhetoric about "self-defense" is increasingly viewed as inconsistent in Europe, especially against the backdrop of events in Gaza.

For Trump, this is a direct challenge. As the pressure on Netanyahu increases, the price of supporting Israel within the United States is also increasing. So the political space for Trump is also narrowing. The globalists are using the Palestinian issue not for peace, but as a tool to redistribute their sphere of influence on a global scale. For the first time in many years, Europe has entered the arena where Trump considers himself the absolute winner and has launched its counterattack.
