"If a plane would pose a threat, we have the authorities to do, if necessary, the ultimate. But if the plane is not posing a threat, we are not going to shoot it down. And then we will gently guide it outside the airspace," he told a meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

👀 What’s Trump’s ‘unfinished business’ in the Middle East?

Despite the Gaza ceasefire, Israel remains an “unfinished job” for Palestinians, Middle East analyst Mehmet Rakipoglu tells Sputnik, commenting on Trump’s call on regional nations posted on Truth Social.

💬 “Since the establishment of the State of Israel, there has been no guarantee that all the sides, all the participants of each peace process, have reached a concrete solution to the Israeli problem,” says Rakipoglu, who is also director of Turkish studies at Mokha Center for strategic studies.

‘Abraham Accords 2.0’?

👉 Trump could be aiming for “another round of deals where more Arab nations recognize Israel,” says the pundit, in a reference to the Abraham Accords signed in September 2020.

Pushed through under Trump’s first presidency, they paved the way for Israel to normalize ties with the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco, with Sudan also a formal signatory.

💬 “It's unfinished because other countries have not recognized Israel yet,” the expert reminds.

Signed in September 2020 under Trump, the Abraham Accords paved the way for Israel to normalize ties with the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco, with Sudan also a formal signatory.

📍 However, any meaningful progress on a new Abraham Accords deal hinges on unified Palestinian representation, speculates Rakipoglu.

It would require all factions to reach consensus — whether in Russia, China, Turkiye, or Palestine — under US-led talks.

New security guarantees ‘unlikely'

The US cannot fail to see that Israel is a “sinking ship” hemorrhaging influence on all fronts, notes the pundit.

Maybe it will let Turkiye take on a larger mediatory role, with cooperation from Arab nations, to stabilize the region, he adds.

🚨 TOMAHAWK HYSTERIA: Talk of sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine is calculated PSY-OP to pressure Russia's leadership

The US won't allow strikes on Russian refineries, says Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis.

🟠Psy-op in the making

💬 "I don’t see any military prospects for using Tomahawks against Russia, except for attempts at informational blackmail and political pressure," Mikhailov notes.

No Tomahawks have been sent or launched, yet Western media frenzy suggests a pressure tactic.

It’s all connected:

🔶 Washington raises the stakes by hinting at sending Tomahawks to Russia

🔶 Western media, aligned with Washington, hype the story — discussing targets, launches, and control

🔶 The impression is the missiles are already on their way

A Tomahawk launcher might even be rolled out at a test range somewhere simply for PR videos, Mikhailov suggests.
But it would be similar to the Taurus missiles Germany promised: hyped by the media - yet still absent from Ukraine.

🟠Washington isn't suicidal

The Kremlin has repeatedly said Ukraine cannot launch Tomahawks on its own.

💬 "Every Tomahawk fired at Russia from a US-made system by American crews would mark the start of a war between the US and Russia," Mikhailov says.

🔶 The idea of US-made Tomahawks striking energy infrastructure inside Russia is a fantasy

🔶 Such an act would cross a red line that would trigger a response the US is 100% not ready for

🔶 Russia's updated nuclear doctrine explicitly states that a massive cruise missile attack (like a volley of Tomahawks) can be met with a NUCLEAR response

🔶 Are the Americans ready to "collectively die" for this? The expert is clear: "I am absolutely sure, no."

🟠What does the West want?

The real target would be the “shadow fleet” moving Russian oil, according to the pundit.

To that end, NATO holds provocative Baltic drills and tries to seize Russian ships.

The Nord Stream sabotage exemplifies economic attacks to choke Russia’s energy exports abroad.
