Israel-Hamas war
Is Trump's era the start of a new world order?
Donald Trump is set to take the oath as the elected president of the United States. In the current era, nearly every country in the world has some form of relationship with others. These relationships can be either friendly or adversarial, meaning that every country, especially major powers, has interests intertwined with others. Accordingly, the United States, the world’s largest economy and military power, has commercial, military, and even ideological ties or conflicts with nearly every country. These relationships also experience ups and downs. It is important to note that those who believe that US foreign policy does not change regardless of which party forms the government are influenced by outdated thinking. Such thinking is old-fashioned, a relic of the Cold War era, when the US maintained consistent policies toward the Soviet Union and the countries in the socialist bloc, regardless of which party was in power. However, that bloc has now collapsed, and even large socialist countries like China are now operating under free-market principles.

Western powers never wanted political stability in the Middle East
It is very difficult to say anything specific about the Middle East in general as there are Muslims in the Middle East, (but, being a little bit harsh) there are also some Munafiqs (hypocrites) there. Western countries have a fascination with the Middle East because of its wealth and resources. Attracted by those resources, Western powers are always eager to expand their influence in the Middle East. Most importantly, Western countries never wanted political stability in the Middle East. So they have been running one proxy war after another in the region. At the moment, there is a fear of a conventional war in the Middle East centered on the conflict between Iran and Israel. I hope Iran and Israel don't get into a conventional war. If the two countries get into a traditional war, it will be alarming for everyone.
Is Israel heading towards becoming a rogue state with unchecked support from the US?
The recent violence between Palestinians and Israelis is not solely the responsibility of the Hamas and Netanyahu governments; the stains of blood also lie on the hands of the Western powers. However, it is true that Palestinian militants initiated an attack on Israeli settlements near Gaza on October 7th. Yet, this attack did not originate from any specific location, nor were there prior warnings. Israel claims they did not provoke any aggression. However, the credibility of that claim is debatable. Western governments are well aware of the true plight of the Palestinians in Gaza. However, they have been tacitly supporting Israel's attacks against Palestinians for decades.
