Trump is against the off-ramp because he can't declare victory, because he would lose face, because he'd face pressure groups, because we have the Zionist lobby, I would call it, in the United States.
For Israel, the issue is
uh somewhat distinct but israel's main issue is that it wants complete military dominance
of West Asia and the Middle East and even into the Horn of Africa and North Africa.
And it almost has that.
Not that it can easily control all of the territory, no, by no means, but it is able to act with impunity.
It's able to invade...
Lebanon, it's able to occupy Syria, it's able to overthrow other countries' governments, and that's what it wants.
But it faces an obstacle, and the obstacle is Iran.
Israel, 30 years ago this year, when Netanyahu first became prime minister, adopted a strategy that was explained in a public paper called the clean break strategy.
And the clean break strategy said,
We will never accept, we being our new government, never accept a state of Palestine.
We will occupy all of what had been the British Palestine, British Mandatory Palestine.
In other words, we'll control Gaza, we'll control the West Bank, we'll control all of Jerusalem, and we may control other places as well.
We'll never do that, but we'll face resistance when we make that claim and hold on to this territory.
We'll definitely face resistance.
We'll definitely face resistance of militant groups.
But what Netanyahu and his colleagues in the United States said was, rather than fighting those militant groups directly, we need to bring down the governments in the Middle East and West Asia that support those groups.
And that is what's called the clean break strategy.
The clean break was the clean break from the peace accords, from the land for peace idea that Israel would return to its borders.
