Washington, D.C. – E be like say President Donald Trump don enter one chance, as his credibility don kolo after Israeli jets strike Qatar during peace talks wey suppose help calm wahala between Hamas and Israel. Five Hamas members don join ancestors, but the big fish wey dey negotiate for ceasefire carry their pail go another place. Talk true, e no too sweet for Trump side as he dey chop steak for one posh restaurant when the news land.
“I no dey feel jolly about this matter at all,” Trump talk, as if say na small wahala fitting make everybody bend. But the way him dey talk e be like say him never really catch the weight of the matter. This strafe from Israel no just blend well, especially as dem dey act like say dem no see the big American interests wey dey involved.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte don talk say na so dem go just dey play with fire, as Poland don catch drones wey violate dem airspace because of the Russian wahala wey dey happen. Seriously, the way tings dey shake for this matter, e dey clear say na major ojoro dey happen.
For Trump, e dey try play dem peacemaker role wey fit save plenty lives, but how e wan achieve am when e no fit control wetin happen for him own backyard? Just months ago, he enter White House talk say him go end wars for Gaza and Ukraine, but now na wahala dey escalate, and e dey jaga-jaga like Jesus dey face major league wahala.
No be like say e dey easy for am to wash him hands for this one, because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dey turn am upside down. Instead of working together, him dey pursue the elimination of Hamas with all him heart, while Trump dey look like mumu wey no fit predict wetin go happen next.
And the matter no stop for there. Dis strike don shake Qatar’s trust for America as di country dey play mediator role. If Qatar itself dey fear for di open wahala wey Israel dey bring, wetin you think say dey happen to other Arab nations wey dey watch? Na jokers dem fit see Trump as, as him credibility don land for ground like pounded yam.
Netanyahu don quickly disown di move, insist say na naim be the boss for di operation as if to say e no need backup. But with all di accusations wey dey fly around, many go still suspect say Trump gree for di strike or even give tacit approval. The White House, however, don flex muscle to say dem no dey involved, but who dey believe am again?
As for Netanyahu don play this card, plenty analysts dey yan say e wan make di ongoing negotiations dry up because him no want hostages go home without dem feeling like winners. Dis one go only make matter get sharper and people wey dey shelter for Gaza go collect am hot.
If di US fit shake dis level of relationship with Qatar, wetin about dem other Gulf states? If Israel fit invade Qatar in broad daylight, dem go fit expect same any day? Na wah oh! Trump don really need to polish him image before dem go carry palm oil come rub am for back.
