QUESTIONING THE STATE
STATE DEPARTMENT BRIEFINGS ON PALESTINE, CEASEFIRE, AND BEYOND

Said Arikat Al-Quds Correspondent in Washington DC
Sam Husseini Independent Journalist writing at husseini.substack.com

in Conversation with Bassam Haddad

As the world learns more about Israel’s slaughter in Gaza amid a cautious ceasefire, we host two prominent journalists, Said Arikat and Sam Husseini, who have been in the forefront of “Questioning the State” at Press briefings in the United States. In addition to the horrendous treatment one of our guests (Sam Husseini) received in a recent press conference featuring Secretary Anthony Blinken, we address the road to, potential trade-offs, and the implications of the “ceasefire” under the incoming U.S. administration. We will also address the official position of the United States on the collapse of the Syrian regime and the emerging alternative leadership.

„Joe Biden was wrong.

His bear hug has been one the biggest foreign policy mistakes in modern American history. It did not give Biden or the US leverage in private. Again and again, Netanyahu ignored Biden’s pleas to change policy. Red lines were drawn that Israel could not cross. Israel crossed them and faced no consequences.“

"In news that was buried on the day after Christmas, #Trump tapped #foreignpolicy realist Elbridge Colby for a top job in the #Pentagon. The appointment overrode a major behind-the-scenes campaign waged by supporters of #Israel to block Colby from the #TrumpAdministration, largely for his opposition to war with #Iran. Colby has also been a leading critic of US support for the war between #Russia and #Ukraine,"

Who is “Bridge” Colby?

"House #GOP leadership is bringing to a vote this week #HR23, a partisan bill to reimpose Trump-era #sanctions on the #InternationalCriminalCourt (#ICC) for seeking to hold Israeli leaders accountable for their actions against #Palestinians in #Gaza, which leading human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have concluded amount to the crimes of genocide and extermination."

„Biden administration notified Congress on Friday of weapons package made up of thousands of bombs, missiles, and artillery shells.

The Biden administration notified Congress of an $8 billion weapons package for Israel, including thousands of bombs, missiles and artillery shells, in one of the largest new arms sales since the war in Gaza began in 2023.“

"If you look carefully, you’ll see that the United States is actually directly at war. It’s an intense, high-level collaboration in planning and targeting. Not to speak of the fact that virtually every shell, every missile, every bomb is American, and that the Israeli army couldn’t go on for more than three months without those hundreds of airlifted shipments." - #RashidKhalidi

„Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be ambassador to Israel, has long rejected a Palestinian state in territory previously seized by Israel and has repeatedly signaled his staunch support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.“

„The Biden administration sidestepped its own 30-day deadline for Israel to provide significantly more humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip or face a weapons cut-off, saying that progress has been made despite aid groups warning of a looming famine.“

„Senior Saudi Arabian and Iranian military officials have discussed bilateral defense cooperation. This development follows US President-elect Donald Trump's strong show of support for Israel and his hardline stance toward Iran during his campaign.“

„(…) The Middle East remains on the brink of full-scale, region-wide war, with the potential for direct U.S. involvement. The decision by Washington to place itself at the center of these conflicts is a symptom of a broader self-defeating U.S. Middle East policy.

To fix this, Trump should center U.S. Middle East policy on two chief objectives: disentanglement and deprioritization.“

»Trump will “not restrain the Israelis whatsoever,” said Howard Stoffer, a professor of international affairs at the University of New Haven.

“I think he'll keep his hands off,” he said. “Whatever the Israelis want to do, he will [support] it. He could care less about those in Michigan, other places where there are populations that support the Palestinians.”«

„In Gaza, where the 13-month war has had a devastating impact, people were desperate for a solution and voiced the hope Trump might offer one.

Hamas’ Oct 7 attack resulted in 1,206 deaths, mostly civilians (…).

Israel’s retaliatory campaign has killed 43,391 people in Gaza, a majority of them civilians (…).“

„Israel's right-wing government welcomed Donald Trump's US election win. The government sees it as positive for Israeli-American relations. Trump has pledged strong support for Israel, particularly in the current Middle East conflict. Israeli settler leaders also expressed hope for a more favorable stance from the US under a Trump administration.“
