Vice President of the Algerian National People’s Assembly, “Parliament,” Suleiman Zarqani, considered that Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections might end the war in Gaza and Lebanon, but in a way that creates for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the image of the winner.
Zarqani told Sputnik: “Trump promised to end the war in Gaza and Lebanon, and I believe that will happen, but in a way that creates for his ally, Netanyahu, the image of the winner.”
He added: “For the Arab region, Trump or Harris (the Democratic Party’s candidate for the US presidential elections and current Vice President Kamala) are considered two sides of the same coin, which is that they both agree to destroy Gaza and Lebanon and work on strife and sabotage the Arab countries.”
He said: “Donald Trump and Kamala Harris “do not care about anything except the interests of America and its spoiled daughter (Israel).”
Zarqani believed that “Trump’s victory only differs in style, direction, and décor, but the content will not change. Perhaps the era in which the Arab region suffered the most was the previous Trump era.”
According to Zarqani, “What is different this time is that America has become more clear in its support for genocide, and its brutality has become apparent without makeup.”
It is noteworthy that, according to the results published by American media, after the completion of more than 97% counting in the state of Wisconsin, “Trump received 277 votes in the Electoral College out of the 270 votes he needed to win the elections, and in return Harris obtained 224 votes in the Electoral College, and thus Trump becomes Trump.” The forty-seventh president of the United States.”

Time.news Interview: Analyzing Political Impacts on Middle Eastern Conflicts
Editor: Welcome to Time.news. Today, we have the honor of speaking with Suleiman Zarqani, Vice President of the Algerian National People’s Assembly. Thank you for joining us, Mr. Zarqani.
Zarqani: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to discuss these important issues.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. You’ve made headlines recently with your remarks about Donald Trump’s potential victory in the upcoming US presidential elections. You suggested it could bring an end to the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, but in a way that benefits Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Can you elaborate on this perspective?
Zarqani: Certainly. When I say that Trump’s victory might lead to a resolution, I mean that he has positioned himself as a strong supporter of Israel. There’s a likelihood that any peace initiative he proposes will frame Netanyahu as the victor, regardless of the underlying issues that affect the Palestinian people and the broader regional stability.
Editor: Interesting point. You’ve also mentioned that both Trump and Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, represent two sides of the same coin in their policies towards the Middle East. Can you explain how that perspective shapes the views in the Arab world?
Zarqani: The sentiment in the Arab region is that both candidates are aligned with a framework that undermines the rights of people in Gaza and Lebanon. While there may be differences in their rhetoric, many believe that their ultimate goals align in terms of foreign policy—both seem to prioritize military and political strategies that lead to further chaos and division rather than genuine peace.
Editor: That’s quite a strong assertion. Are there specific policies or actions by either candidate that you believe exemplify this view?
Zarqani: Yes, for instance, both candidates have shown a reluctance to fully support Palestinian statehood and have focused instead on securing strategic alliances with Israel. This includes military support and diplomatic recognition, which, from our perspective, contributes to the plight of the Palestinian people and exacerbates tensions in the region.
Editor: How do you believe this perception influences the broader Arab response to the US elections? Are there calls for different approaches?
Zarqani: There is a growing demand for a reevaluation of how foreign interventions have historically shaped our conflicts. Many voices in the Arab world are advocating for genuine dialogue and peace processes that include all stakeholders, rather than imposing solutions that disregard local perspectives. The youth, in particular, are very engaged and seeking alternative dialogues that prioritize human rights and regional sovereignty.
Editor: Given the complexity of these issues, what role do you think international coalitions and organizations should play in fostering peace in the region?
Zarqani: International bodies must shift their approach. This means advocating for equitable solutions that recognize the rights of all involved. We need a balanced approach from global powers, one that does not favor one party over another but rather seeks a true resolution rooted in justice and equality.
Editor: Thank you, Mr. Zarqani, for sharing your insights with us today. It’s crucial to hear perspectives from leaders in the region as these elections unfold.
Zarqani: Thank you for the opportunity. I hope that our discussions contribute to a greater understanding of these critical issues and foster constructive dialogue moving forward.
Editor: And to our readers, stay tuned for more insights and analysis on the evolving political landscape. Thank you for joining us.
