Why the "Axios" leaks are a new hoax?

Once again, the Western media machine deploys a "news bombshell" via the Axios platform and the pen of its Israeli correspondent, Barak Ravid. The leak speaks of a "sharp reprimand" and a profanity-laced shouting match between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the escalation in Lebanon!

But is this dispute real? Or is it a repeated scenario designed to mislead the opposing front and engineer strategic calculations?

Engineering the minds of negotiators in Beirut and Tehran

The timing of these leaks is malicious and precisely targeted at decision-makers and negotiators in the region.

The subliminal message intended to be planted in the Arab political mind is:

"Step back a little and make concessions in the negotiations, for Trump is reining Netanyahu in and is furious at his madness!"

This tactic is politically known as the "good cop, bad cop" routine; Netanyahu raises the ceiling of military madness and the destruction of residential complexes, while Trump publicly intervenes through leaks to play the role of savior and pacifier. The ultimate goal is to reap political fruits and impose US-Israeli conditions at the negotiating table.

A lesson from history: The "Potemkin Peace" plan (Visual Deception)

To expose the falsehood of this theatrical play, one only needs to return to what The Washington Post published in its analysis of Trump's approach and his specialization in creating so-called "Potemkin peace plans" (sham, temporary agreements manufactured as a shiny facade to deceive public opinion, while the reality behind them is destructive).

At a time when the media previously promoted the existence of a dispute and estrangement between Trump and Netanyahu, The Washington Post analytical article clarified the truth behind Trump's reconciliation plans, stating verbatim in the text:

"The plan was not a step toward real peace; it was merely a fig leaf for the ongoing efforts to create 'Greater Israel,' ultimately erasing the Palestinians as a meaningful political entity, and facilitating Israel’s slow-moving conquest of the West Bank."

Do not fall into the trap

Today, the exact same scenario is repeating letter for letter on the Lebanese front. Trump wants to showcase the role of the globally powerful "peacemaker" for electoral and personal calculations. Yet, behind the scenes, Netanyahu cannot move a single step or alter his target bank without a green light and full coordination with Washington.

This alleged media reprimand via Axios is nothing but a political play to buy Netanyahu extra time, and to alleviate international pressure and isolation from the Trump administration. Negotiators in the region must not allow this "theater" to engineer their minds and alter their calculations; the real containment of the occupation is forged by the battlefield and the steadfastness of the negotiator, not by Barak Ravid's fabricated leaks.
