@_A_khalifa Bro please. All of this is so that trump can keep negotiations going. Iran is going nowhere and uae will be best friends with Iran in future
@you_duba@EvanWritesOnX If you were weak and you gained strength by cozying up to someone and then slowly started to turn your back on them, I’m going to learn from this and do the same to you. Israel was weak, cozied up to the states, uae & ksa have learned from this, uae has cozied up and what’s next?
Slovenia has joined Spain in demanding the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement over the situation in Lebanon
Honestly, it’s a shame that so many lack the courage shown by Slovenia and Spain in opposing Netanyahu
Hats off to the Slovenians and the Spaniards

Europa tiene los recursos, las instituciones, el talento y los valores. No hay ninguna razón objetiva para que soñemos en pequeño.
Nos falta atrevernos a imaginar dónde podríamos llegar juntos.
Europa debe recuperar su lugar en el mundo con valentía.
The most important sentence in this entire 'war' was not spoken by Trump or Netanyahu or Iran.
It was spoken by Lebanon's prime minister.
"No one negotiates on behalf of Lebanon except the Lebanese state."
That sentence ended Israel's justification for being in Lebanon. Because if Lebanon's own government is asserting sovereignty, asking for direct talks, and positioning itself independently from Hezbollah,
then what exactly is Israel bombing?
Not a proxy.
A country.
And the entire region just watched Israel respond to a peace offer with a massacre.
Over 1800 dead.
Hours after signing onto a ceasefire it claimed to support.
See this "war", was conducted because every major player decided to avoid a real war.
It was a managed reset of the entire Middle Eastern order.
Khamenei was removed to unlock Iran's pragmatist faction. Gulf infrastructure was damaged just enough to justify new reconstruction contracts and energy repricing. Pakistan was elevated as the new mediation hub. China embedded yuan settlement into Hormuz transit. Every major actor got something out of this.
Every actor except Israel.
Iran's pragmatists accepted the ceasefire, honored it, and showed up ready to negotiate. They traded the resistance axis for a seat at the table.
The Gulf states absorbed their hits and immediately started calculating reconstruction terms. Old contracts get renegotiated. New security frameworks get funded. Saudi Arabia collected record oil premiums throughout the entire war.
The damage was not a catastrophe. It was a business opportunity.
Pakistan went from a country defined by debt and instability to the broker of the most consequential ceasefire in a generation. China backed it. Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia participated.
And while all of this was happening, while every other player in the region was quietly positioning for the post-war order,
Netanyahu launched "Operation Eternal Darkness" on Lebanese civilians because his coalition needed it.
That is how you know this is a foregone conclusion.
Israel is being governed by a finite-game logic. Every decision is optimized for the survival of a coalition that needs war, needs territorial expansion, needs the Litani River, needs the rejection of every ceasefire and every framework and every deal.
The coalition survives.
The state erodes.
Because everyone else is playing the infinite game.
Iran's pragmatists are trading proxies for sanctions relief and economic reintegration.
The Gulf states are trading reconstruction contracts for a new security architecture.
Pakistan is trading mediation for structural relevance.
China is trading diplomatic backing for energy settlement in yuan.
Lebanon's prime minister is trading Hezbollah's monopoly on resistance for actual state sovereignty.
Every single one of these trades points in the same direction.
Away from Israel.
The best part is, no one sat in a room and planned the isolation of Israel.
What happened is worse.
Every rational actor in the system, pursuing its own survival logic, independently arrived at the same conclusion:
the future gets built without Israel's participation.
The strangulation of Israel has arrived.
@EvanWritesOnX If Lebanon also speaks for itself then Israel is incriminated further because now it shows Lebanon and Hezbollah are separate entities and therefore the targeting of civilian locations further puts Netanyahu under the criminal spotlight. #backfired
