Richard Medhurst, independent journalist from the United Kingdom, presents his geopolitical analysis in this viral video exposing the hidden reasons behind the US and Israel's war on Gaza.
1. Control of the large quantities of gas in the mediterrenean sea through sanctions on Iran (withdrawal from nuclear deal), Russia (Ukraine war), and crippling Lebanon, Syria, and now Gaza's, infrastructure. Conveniently, this leaves only Israel able to extract the gas in the Leviathan gas field, necessary to deliver on its gas deal with the European Union following the outbreak of the Ukraine war.
2. Countering BRICS, China, and the New Silk Road. Shortly before the war in Gaza began, Netanyahu had announced his "plan for a New Middle East" establishing a rival trade route from India, to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and into Occupied Palestine and Europe.

Medhurst discusses Israel and the United States' plan to build the Ben Gurion Canal, a rival to the infamous Suez Canal in Egypt. The proposed canal is named after Israel's first Prime Minister Ben Gurion and would connect the Red Sea to the Mediterrenean Sea, thereby cutting shipping time and costs– just as the Suez Canal already does.
It goes without saying that cutting costs for global trade, and controlling the flow of traffic itself, presen eonormous economic and geopolitical incentives for Israel and the United States. The idea for this Ben Gurion Canal was hatched in the 1960s as a response to Egypt's nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1956. Originally featured in US goverment documemnts, the papers were only declassified later in the 1990s.
Gaza is located in a key, geostrategic area of the globe. The Ben Gurion Canal would have to go right through Gaza, if not alongside it, which means the destruction of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians on a massive scale– precisely what we are witnessing today.
