The conflict in the Middle East may be coming to an end, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has backed US President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.
It remains unclear whether the plan will succeed, as many details are still vague and its implementation has yet to be finalized.
However, the US has involved many Muslim states—including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar in the Middle East and Pakistan and Indonesia in Asia. This could signal the start of a new peace framework in the region.
Apparently, America has succeeded in negotiating a comprehensive peace plan that could be vital for the future global revival of a Pax Americana. European countries might also have a part to play. The plan could help strengthen US confidence in Asia, where recent actions have been seen as erratic and untrustworthy.
Russia and China have not been involved, marking a significant setback in a region crucial to both countries’ strategic interests and raw materials. The Middle East could thus feature a new political map without Russia and China.
Russia, directly or through its proxies, has been a key player in the region since the end of World War II. China has made significant political and economic inroads in recent decades. Yet both have supported Iran, the clear loser in the area.
Pakistan is expected to deploy 50,000 troops against the Houthis, Iran’s proxies. Syria has become the ground for a compromise between Turkey and Israel. Pro-Iranian forces have been disarmed in Lebanon and are now cornered in Iraq.
Another factor is that in the coming weeks, the war in Ukraine could once again take center stage. Political and military efforts could shift focus to supporting Ukraine and countering Russia.
Despite past tariff scares and numerous blunders and issues with allies in Asia and Europe, Trump may have achieved a significant success in Gaza. However, it could still fall apart soon.
If the plan does succeed, it will depend on the US or Israel, not Russia or China. This proves the US’s historic massive advantage over its adversaries. America may only need to score one goal to win, while Russia or China must score many.
Still, even if everything works out, it’s not the end. There are three key aspects:
- The hearts and minds of people in Europe and the world. After decades of being buried under the ashes, antisemitism has reemerged. It has become increasingly acceptable, and in some cases, even fashionable. This trend needs to be reversed to ensure a stable future for Israel and the region. It will be delicate because some of the countries involved in the deal are happy to dispatch Hamas but are equally pleased to see Israel as the global villain, discriminated against and isolated.
- The second aspect involves Ukraine. The main point is not just stopping Russia’s invasion but reversing it. It will require significant effort, with possible support from Israel or Turkey.
- Lastly, implementing the agreement will be a minefield full of traps that could blow everything up.
One very delicate element for the US will be restoring ties with India while maintaining a balance with Pakistan. Pakistan maintains good relations with China, although it opposes Iran in its fight in Yemen. Just hours after the Washington announcement, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the agreement.
But the political significance remains. It’s a blow to Beijing’s September 3 parade, where China showcased its new weapons and the newly formed pact with Russia and North Korea.
China, outside the Middle East, is surrounded by many adversaries. It can improve relations with India, but what about the disputed borders? It can strengthen ties with Japan or South Korea, but what about Taiwan? It can connect with Vietnam or the Philippines, but what about the South China Sea?
The US doesn’t have territorial disputes with any of them; the issue is the opposite – they complain that the US doesn’t show enough love and support, which can be complicated. Betrayed love and broken hearts can be dangerous. However, territorial competition is an entirely different ball game.

All haletheGolden Avenger, and goodbye to the Judeaphobic brain-worm infected foolsand rat-packing clowns able to insult their bettors but unable to post in their own names.
This bloody genocidal clown and U.S. running dog really thinks that people in global south are all idiots.
F off lah buddy, you are just a dog.
You are not even fit to open your mouth in front of me.
Since this guy has already made it clear that he is okay with genocide if so called “west” is doing it, he better not come and whine about Russia invading Ukraine, killing civilians or China committing “aggression”
He whine also don’t come and whine.
NO ONE is going to take him seriously.
Israel is killing women, killing children, killing babies, committing ecocide in Gaza, this guy has ZERO problems with it. If that is the case, don’t come and talk so much c*ck about Russia and China.
He better F off to whatever hole or cave he crawled out from.
You DREAM also don’t go and DREAM about anyone in global south coming to oppose Russia and helping Ukraine.
Dream also don’t dream.
You think we stupid or what? Russia loses, then the West comes and go for global genocide on global south, lol?
Who is going to help us when the genocide comes? You? The West?
ha ha h aha ha. Don’t make me LAUGH!
Laughing while Isael os doing all that unseemly killing? How de thyJews refusto play’helpless victim anymore. We’re supposed to be sheep not lions. INFURIATING! 😉 That’s the sum total of your ilk – those unable to craete, compete or produce, only whine about how terrible those who can and do are – but fool no one. Keep laughing, and the IDF will keep the Jewish people and their state safe from the savage rapists, mutilators, kidnappers and the global lynch mobs and laughing web-based clowns with nothing but pain, inferiority complexes and loss to share.
I read the 20-point proposal on the BBC website. Some points are plausible and other are not. The big problem is that Israel never abides by a ceasefire, so whatever Hamas does short of surrender would be a provocation. In fact, that is what the proposal is, a demand for surrender. Point nineteen makes the fraud obvious:—‘. . . the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, . . .’. How many times have we heard that before?
How many times has HAMAS disarmed!
Beware of Zionists and Americans bearing gifts of peace. Take this as a bad omen of more escalations. Remember these cowards use negotiations and peace to hide behind before plotting imminent attacks and defiling humanity with their sabotage and backstabbing antics. They will either strike Venezeula, Iran or some other target while they “talk peace”. We know the script by now. They have destroyed trust. Israel bombs Qatar, US uses it to make security guarantees aimed at Iran, not Israel. These people attack themselves like Nordstream, September 11, October 7 to justify their imperialism. It is the essence of a spreading cancer. Do not be fooled by fake peace proposals. Israel and America cannot honor anything with the current Bible- bashing regimes in power.
Keep dreaming!
The best solution is for comet 31 Atlas to strike …….
Another solution is for you to join the Puny Little Army’s strawberry soldiers.
I don’t get it, you say you live in Aus, but support a murderous foreign regime. Is it because you are a leftover man in Aus, as so many Chinese ladies prefer a more virile man ?
Russia is winning the war and the most battle hardened military in the world. Also drone tech leader now, thanks to NATO’s orchestration in 2014. US soldiers were bust fighting guerillas against non-peers, they grew fat and complacent. These days, chasing shadows and putting on lipstick and stilettoes. That’s what being a Westerner has become, you had a good run but became fat and lazy and stupid in the process.
Funny that commentator BigRooster who likes to su*k on c*ck did not post comments here. It leads me to believe that he is from Europe.
Bankotsu, big Loser Rooster is likely Australian. Yep Big R sure likes to talk c0 ck.
Yes, I’m one of the real Aussies, who can reverse out of my driveway in 1 attempt. While you, my little Tiddly Wink take over 3 attempts.
Hello? I’m still living rent free in your head.
When I see this writer’s articles on this site, it is like seeing sh*t. It is same thing.
This writer’s mouth is like an ar*ehole.
Only sh*t comes out.
Chump the peace-maker. Its something the right wing populism would fall for, like the left wing mush brains fell for with Obama. The chances of a sustainable peace-deal holding under this fake orange wrecking ball held firmly by Epstein kompromat and filthy Jewish and Big Tech money are almost non-existent. It would require trusting a snake like the US and Israel, which are impossible to trust. Tony Blair to govern Gaza? The idea sounds like it came out of the backside of John Bolton. Chump only picks the best I was told, 11D chess master and “trust the plan”. While he salivates over invading Venezuela and bombing Iran again. The guy is supposedly working on “peaceful” solutions. People have yet to fully grasp just how evil and fake the West has become. It is almost unbelievable, no wonder why so many are still in denial. 500 years of Western imperialism are ending. Some people’s entire careers have amounted to nothing who thought theirs was a lineage from god himself. Agent Orange ihas been put in place to oversee the bankruptcy of the empire and frame it as MAGA. That is his role.
Probably being paid by Israelis to write this tripe. ‘Genocide, what genocide? The dead Palestinian children and babies all died of natural causes.’
When Palestinian women and babies are being killed by Israel, the most important thing is to fight “anti semitism”.
That is the no. 1 thing that comes to mind.
No wonder these Europeans are all seen as complete and utter clowns around the world. They are really superior to chinese in producing BS.
So Europeans want people in global south to support Ukraine and fight Russia? ha ha ha ha!
Don’t make me laugh lah!
EVERYONE in GLOBAL SOUTH supports RUSSIA, dumb dumb.
Zambia breaking news. Huge pollution at a Copper mine owned by Chinese. If you have ever been to Africa (?) you’ll find the Squnits are not liked.
I think this writer should show some respect to Russia.
Asians admire Russia, Asians love Russia, Asians embrace Russia and Asians want to learn from Russia. We don’t have any of the stupid garbage russophobia of the West.
He better show some respect to Russia.
I love Russia, I love Putin.
Asians ladies love Russians, and other European, sausages. More virile men
How come Europeans are so russophobic?
Russians are loved by everyone in global south.
We all love Russia!
No one hates Russia in global south. There is ZERO russophobia here.
I love Russia.
Very weird hatred of Russia by Europe. I don’t understand.
Israeli genocide, Europeans will go and shill for it, Russia they will attack. Weird.
And you travel alot (if only you could reverse out of your driveway) ?
I know that the writer’s skin is white so he sees himself as superior to non whites. My skin is yellow so he sees me as inferior to him.
But he better don’t go around the world preaching some sort of moral superiority of white people.
That will be true joke in 2025.
This idiot doesn’t even know how low the Europeans’ image has sunk in eyes of the world. They are like lowest of the low. Yet this clown still sees himself as superior.
He is just a fool. A typical white fool, water carrier for the evil empire that has stolen his European future from him, alongside the comprador EU political elite, but he looks the other way and blames the East. The guys who bombed Europe’s energy supply. Gone are the days when Italy was a respectable country in the days of Venetian and Genoesian traders, Marco Polo. Today Italy joined the suicide coalition, pulling out of BRI that could have helped their sinking economy. Instead they have shacked themselves to the sinking Ti tanic called Ukraine like the rest of club whitey. The other week these Zionist maniacs were bombing negotiators in the country hosting CENTCOM, their most generous host. Today we are told this fake peace plan is Pox Americana at ts finest. We have much more questions for these bipolar mental midgets than praises.
The writer is a moral degenerate and one of the most morally depraved writers on this site.
He is the human garbage and sewage of Europe. He shouldn’t be writing here. He doesn’t care about fate of Asia. All Asians can be genocided to death and he won’t bat an eye.
Very weird that this kind of human filth and garbage is writing here on a site called “Asia Times”.
He wants to preach white power, white supremacy, he better go off to other sites.
Well you’ll be OK as you live in Canada
You’re yella?
So short, slitty eyes, small appendages, can’t park, eat cats and dogs, and are a leftover man?
The image of the Euro’s seems pretty good for all those little Ch ladies who want something larger !
It’s hard to be humble, esp when a Ch lady looks approvingly at my stature.
Europe has sunk to such a low level.
No one in this world takes anything from Europe seriously AT ALL.
I see this garbage written by an Italian, I read also want to vomit.
Italian food can have that effect on you, if you are used to eating dogs and cats.
This delusional clown thinks Pox Americana is coming back. There is a good reason why Russia and China are staying a distance away from the issue – let the Americans fall into the trap. They are now exposed as a subsidiary of the Apartheid state. Israel is doing wonders in discrediting the West as a fake proponent of freedom. The more this drags on, the more obvious the scam of the US-Israel becomes. They are modern day crusaders ruled by the reptilian brain, operating on outdated firmware known as the ‘Bible’ which is a laughable diatribe written by a tribe who made themselves out to be the heroes in their own fable. The Muslim world will realize what ‘partners’ they are working with. Until they kick out US troops or stand up for Palestine beyond just words, I do not think Russia or China will be stepping in.
These Europeans are all dogs reared by America. They see America as their white master. Without Americans white power, these pathetic Europeans are nothing in the world.
That is why this white supremacist writer is supporting Pax Americana. He is content to live as a U.S. running dog.
Europeans are a ridiculous joke now.
Even worse is to be a banana, yella on the outside, but a westerner on the inside !
That’s not the way you say it, lol. Here’s how: “He’s a banana; skin outside is yellow, inside the meat is white!”.
lol.
“After decades of being buried under the ashes, antisemitism has reemerged. It has become increasingly acceptable, and in some cases, even fashionable…”
Hey, what about russophobia in Europe, it suddenly emerged for no reason in 2022.
I suggest campaign to fight russophobia in Europe. It suddenly popped up in Europe in 2022.
Over here in Asia, there is ZERO russophobia. Europe better do something about their russophobia.
Racist garbage, these europeans.
Europeans are largely neanderthals, they do not learn. Every few decades they wipe themselves out and blame the Russians.
2% genes of the Euro’s are reckoned to be Neanderthal. That is less than the 4% of Asian from Denisovan. As you are Pak it’s very likely you have either N or D genes.
But far more consequential are the effects of cousin marriage on your physical and mental health.
Yet you seem to be antisemitic. I’m not sure how that works with your theory.
According to Islamists, the only way to fight Islamaphobia is to kill all the Jews
“After decades of being buried under the ashes, antisemitism has reemerged. It has become increasingly acceptable, and in some cases, even fashionable…”
Most important thing on this writer’s mind with the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza is “antisemitism”.
No wonder Europeans are a joke.
U.S. reared dog will be U.S. reared dog. There will be no change in the status of Europe. They are all dogs.
So they should be scared of being eaten by Chinese?
What about Europe, can it revive Europe?
Europeans are seen as complete clowns around the world now.
No one in this world takes anything that comes out of the mouth of a European seriously.
Europeans are a joke.
Nothing but dogs reared by America. Some are also Israeli reared dogs supporting the genocide in Gaza.
And you travel so widely…. except you have problems reversing from your driveway.
