00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, what President Trump just published this morning on his Truth Social
00:00:06.380 may genuinely become one of the most controversial geopolitical statements made by an American
00:00:13.180 president in modern history. Because his statement is not simply a peace proposal.
00:00:20.060 This is not merely another Middle East negotiation. And this is not just about
00:00:25.380 the Islamic regime's nuclear program or sanctions relief. But rather, it's an open attempt to 0.67
00:00:32.120 completely dismantle one of the central ideological pillars that has dominated much of the Muslim
00:00:39.740 world for generations. In fact, pretty much since the invention of Islam. Permanent opposition to 0.94
00:00:48.180 Israel. And that is why this post is so explosive. Because if you actually read President Trump's
00:00:55.860 Truth Social post carefully, line by line, country by country, what he is demanding is not symbolic
00:01:04.040 normalization. It's not vague future dialogue, and it's not some slow, gradual diplomatic evolution
00:01:11.760 that unfolds quietly behind the scenes over the next 20 years. It's an immediate, simultaneous
00:01:19.440 participation in the Abraham Accords by some of the most anti-Israel populations and politically
00:01:27.720 sensitive governments in the Muslim world. We're talking about Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan,
00:01:36.060 Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. Now Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are also mentioned but as
00:01:45.160 President Trump states in his Truth Social post they've already signed on to the Abraham Accords
00:01:50.560 and what's even more interesting is that President Trump says that potentially the Islamic regime
00:01:59.900 occupying Iran might sign the Abraham Accords as well. I can tell you right off the bat that
00:02:07.040 the Islamic regime will never, ever formally recognize the state of Israel, and I'll explain 0.96
00:02:14.080 why later. But think about how radical this statement actually is. Because for decades, 0.54
00:02:21.740 many of these governments built political legitimacy within their populations by publicly
00:02:27.360 opposing Israel, supporting Palestinian resistance narratives, amplifying their anti-Zionist and
00:02:35.060 anti-Jew rhetoric, funding anti-Israel political movements, or at minimum, carefully avoiding any
00:02:43.340 public mobilization that might anger their deeply anti-Semitic populations. Entire generations
00:02:50.740 across large parts of the Muslim world have been raised to see Israel, not simply as another
00:02:58.000 country, but as a civilizational enemy. And now, President Trump is effectively saying
00:03:05.280 that entire Muslim political order must end. Not gradually, not eventually, now, right now.
00:03:16.480 That is what makes this so controversial, because this is not merely pressure on governments.
00:03:24.180 This is pressure on the emotional and ideological worldview of millions of people across the Middle East and the broader Muslim world.
00:03:34.180 And whether people support President Trump or despise him politically, no one can deny the sheer scale of what he's attempting here.
00:03:42.660 Because President Trump is not merely negotiating with the Islamic regime occupying Iran.
00:03:48.780 He's trying to reorganize the entire Middle East around a completely different axis of power.
00:03:56.480 For decades, the political currency of the region revolved around one question.
00:04:02.140 Who opposes Israel the hardest?
00:04:05.420 President Trump wants to replace that with who can build the strongest anti-Islamic regime occupying Iran economic and military coalition. 0.73
00:04:15.640 That is the revolution hiding inside this proposal. 0.55
00:04:20.140 And if this succeeds even partially, it could fundamentally reshape the Middle East for generations.
00:04:28.140 I'm Goldie Gamari, former Canadian politician and current geopolitical analyst, and you're watching The Goldie Show.
00:04:44.500 So let's start with the post itself, as that is pretty much the foundation and basis for this entire video.
00:04:51.860 Earlier today, President Trump wrote,
00:04:54.560 Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely.
00:04:59.680 It will only be a great deal for all or no deal at all. 0.98
00:05:05.260 Back to the battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before.
00:05:09.880 And nobody wants that.
00:05:11.140 During my discussions on Saturday with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain, I stated that after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, 0.86
00:05:30.840 It should be mandatory that all of these countries, at a minimum, simultaneously sign onto the Abraham Accords.
00:05:41.820 Those countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, already a member,
00:05:47.020 Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain, already a member.
00:05:52.940 It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted.
00:05:58.940 But most should be ready, willing, and able to make the settlement with Iran a far more historic event than it would otherwise be.
00:06:10.220 The Abraham Accords have proven to be, for the countries involved, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan, a financial, economic, and social boom.
00:06:23.160 even during this time of conflict and war, with the current members never even suggesting leaving
00:06:29.600 or taking so much as a pause. The reason for this is that the Abraham Accords have been great for
00:06:37.240 them and will be even better for everybody and bring true power, strength, and peace to the
00:06:43.180 Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years. It will be a document respected like no other
00:06:49.500 that has ever been signed anywhere in the world. Its level of importance and prestige will be
00:06:55.840 unparalleled. Here's the interesting part. It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi
00:07:03.920 Arabia and Qatar, and everyone else should follow suit. If they don't, they should not be part of
00:07:12.120 this deal in that it shows bad intention. In speaking to numerous of the great leaders mentioned
00:07:19.320 above they would be honored as soon as our document is signed to have the islamic republic
00:07:26.120 of iran as part of the abraham accords that's never going to happen i'll explain why wow now
00:07:34.920 that would be something special this will be the most important deal that any of these great but
00:07:41.320 always in conflict countries will will ever sign nothing in the past or in the future will surpass
00:07:48.440 it therefore i am mandatorily requesting that all countries immediately sign the abraham accords and
00:07:59.320 that if iran signs its agreement with me as president of the united states of america it
00:08:06.840 would be an honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled world coalition again that's
00:08:14.120 never gonna happen let's continue the middle east would be united powerful and economically strong
00:08:21.080 like perhaps no other area anywhere in the world by copy of this truth i'm asking my representatives
00:08:27.960 to begin and successfully complete the process of signing these countries into the already historic
00:08:35.960 abraham accords thank you for your attention to this matter donald j trump president of the united
00:08:43.640 States of America. Now, before we go further, I need to say something honestly that Western
00:08:51.980 politicians and media outlets often refuse to discuss openly because they're terrified of
00:08:58.140 controversy. The reality is that large parts of the Muslim world have deeply entrenched anti-Israel
00:09:05.700 sentiment. That's simply a reality. Now, of course, not every Muslim hates Israel. Not every Arab
00:09:13.120 supports extremism. Not every Middle Eastern population supports war, and millions of ordinary
00:09:19.740 people throughout the region are exhausted by conflict and simply want peace, prosperity,
00:09:26.180 stability, and economic opportunity. But at the same time, it's impossible to understand the
00:09:33.180 significance of President Trump's proposal unless you understand how deeply anti-Israel ideology
00:09:40.360 has been embedded into political culture throughout much of the region for generations.
00:09:47.100 This is not merely about policy disagreements. In many countries, hostility towards Israel
00:09:53.820 became tied to religious identity, political legitimacy, regional pride, pan-Arab nationalism,
00:10:02.100 Islamist ideology, and revolutionary politics. Children grow up hearing anti-Israel messaging
00:10:10.020 in schools. State media amplifies anti-Israel narratives constantly. Clerics preach about
00:10:18.220 resistance. Political leaders gain popularity through anti-Israel speeches. Militous organizations 1.00
00:10:27.300 are glorified as defenders of Islam and normalization with Israel is portrayed as
00:10:35.400 betrayal. That is the political and religious reality that President Trump is confronting
00:10:42.420 head on. And that's why this proposal is so dangerous politically for the leaders involved.
00:10:51.720 Because many of these governments already cooperate quietly with Israel behind closed
00:10:56.980 doors. We're talking security cooperation, intelligence sharing, military coordination
00:11:03.060 against the Islamic regime occupying Iran, economic discussions, technology partnerships,
00:11:09.840 a lot of that already exists privately. But public normalization is completely different
00:11:17.000 because public normalization forces governments to confront the emotions of their own populations.
00:11:24.540 And that's where things become volatile. So let's begin with the centerpiece of these countries,
00:11:31.520 Saudi Arabia. Because Saudi Arabia is the crown jewel of President Trump's entire strategy.
00:11:39.800 Saudi Arabia is not just another Arab or Muslim state. Saudi Arabia is the guardian of Mecca
00:11:46.500 and Medina, the holiest sites in Islam. Which means if Saudi Arabia openly normalizes with
00:11:53.860 Israel through the Abraham Accords, the symbolic impact across the Muslim world would be enormous.
00:12:01.520 For decades, Saudi Arabia positioned itself publicly as a defender of the Palestinian cause, 0.70
00:12:08.420 while simultaneously fearing Islamic regime occupying Iran expansion behind the scenes. 0.51
00:12:16.760 And this balancing act worked for years because the kingdom could quietly cooperate with the West and Israel strategically,
00:12:25.240 while maintaining public distance politically.
00:12:27.660 But President Trump is now essentially saying no more ambiguity.
00:12:34.300 Choose right now.
00:12:36.480 That is what this really is. 0.83
00:12:38.800 Because Saudi Arabia understands that the Islamic regime occupying Iran threatens the Persian Gulf monarchies directly. 0.71
00:12:47.820 The Islamic regime occupying Iran funds the Houthis that are attacking Saudi interests. 0.51
00:12:54.080 the Islamic regime occupying Iran backs militias throughout the region. The Islamic regime seeks 0.95
00:13:01.440 regional hegemony. The Islamic regime threatens Persian Gulf shipping lanes. The Islamic regime's 1.00
00:13:08.280 revolutionary ideology directly threatens the legitimacy of Sunni monarchies. So strategically, 0.83
00:13:15.260 Saudi Arabia increasingly aligns with Israel against the Islamic Republic occupying Iran.
00:13:22.360 But publicly, that remains controversial inside many parts of the Muslim world.
00:13:29.560 And President Trump knows that if Saudi Arabia signs openly, that psychological barrier collapses for many other nations.
00:13:39.420 Because if the custodian of the two holiest mosques recognizes Israel publicly, then the entire political landscape in the Middle East changes.
00:13:49.640 Now, let's talk about Qatar, because Qatar may actually be the most controversial country on this entire list.
00:13:59.260 Why? Well, that's because Qatar has spent years playing both sides.
00:14:05.500 Qatar hosts America's CENTCOM military headquarters, but at the same time, Qatar has maintained relationships with Hamas leadership.
00:14:15.040 Qatar has funded Islamist media narratives through Al Jazeera.
00:14:19.520 Qatar has positioned itself as a mediator while simultaneously empowering Islamist political
00:14:26.040 networks like the Muslim Brotherhood, not just throughout the region, but throughout the entire
00:14:31.560 world. In essence, Qatar is a terrorist state. So President Trump including Qatar publicly, 0.97
00:14:38.860 it's not accidental. That is strategic pressure. He's effectively forcing Qatar to stop balancing
00:14:47.060 between Islamist populism and Western security alignment, and that matters because Qatar has
00:14:54.060 enormous media influence across the Arab world. Al Jazeera, which is pretty much the Qatari
00:15:02.320 propaganda mouthpiece for Qatar's foreign intelligence ministry, has helped shaped
00:15:07.880 anti-Israel narratives for decades, not just throughout the region, but in the West as well
00:15:14.320 through its affiliate AJ+. So if Qatar normalizes publicly, that creates a massive ideological 0.58
00:15:22.520 contradiction inside the broader Islamist ecosystem. And many Islamist movements would 0.94
00:15:29.840 view that as betrayal, which is exactly why this is so controversial. Perhaps the most explosive
00:15:37.900 country on this list is Pakistan. Because Pakistan is not merely another Muslim-majority
00:15:44.740 country. Pakistan is a nuclear power. Over 240 million people, one of the largest Muslim
00:15:53.080 populations on earth, a military deeply tied to Islamic identity politics, and a country that
00:16:00.860 never recognize Israel and never wants to. Support for Palestine inside Pakistan is emotionally
00:16:08.580 intense. Anti-Israel sentiment exists across major segments of political society.
00:16:17.320 Islamist groups in Pakistan frequently frame the Palestinian issue as part of a global Islamic
00:16:24.220 struggle. So imagine what would happen politically if Pakistan suddenly recognizes Israel. It would
00:16:33.040 be seismic because it would shatter one of the core narratives that many Islamist movements have
00:16:39.700 promoted for generations. That no truly Islamic state can normalize relations with Israel.
00:16:47.580 President Trump understands this and strategically Pakistan also matters because of geography. 0.86
00:16:54.220 Pakistan borders Iran. Pakistan sits between the Middle East, Central Asia, China, and India.
00:17:02.700 Pakistan has nuclear weapons, and Pakistan plays a major role in the Islamic world psychologically 0.60
00:17:08.780 and militarily. If Pakistan joins normalization efforts, the Islamic regime occupying Iran 0.91
00:17:16.860 becomes even more isolated. Now let's talk about Turkey. And this part is extraordinary 0.67
00:17:24.940 because Erdogan spent years positioning himself as one of the loudest anti-Israel voices in the
00:17:32.660 Muslim world. And that's because of his deep ties and connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:17:38.940 He's accused Israel of terrorism. He's openly defended Hamas repeatedly. He's used anti-Israel
00:17:46.840 Israel rhetoric constantly for domestic political gain. Yet despite all of that, President Trump
00:17:53.460 still publicly included Turkey on the list. Why? Because President Trump understands something
00:18:02.140 important. Erdogan's rhetoric and Erdogan's strategic interests are not always the same
00:18:09.340 thing. Turkey remains part of NATO, and Turkey depends heavily on Western markets. Turkey
00:18:17.960 fears IRGC influence regionally. Turkey competes with the Islamic regime occupying Iran for
00:18:25.940 leadership in the Muslim world. So President Trump is basically cornering Erdogan publicly.
00:18:32.480 He's forcing him into a contradiction. Either continue the anti-Israel populist rhetoric
00:18:39.320 or join the emerging regional coalition. And that is very politically dangerous for Erdogan
00:18:47.140 because much of his political base strongly opposes normalization with Israel. Now Egypt
00:18:54.000 already has a peace treaty with Israel, but President Trump clearly wants something beyond
00:19:00.540 technical diplomatic recognition. He wants visible normalization, economic integration,
00:19:07.900 strategic cooperation, public alliance structures. And this matters because Egypt remains one of the
00:19:15.380 most culturally influential Arab countries in the world. We're talking about Egyptian media,
00:19:22.200 Egyptian intellectual influence, Egyptian religious institutions, Egyptian military
00:19:28.120 prestige. All of these shape broader Arab public opinion. And despite decades of peace with Israel,
00:19:36.080 anti-Israel sentiment still exists heavily among large parts of Egyptian society.
00:19:43.560 So President Trump pushing Egypt toward deeper mobilization is politically sensitive domestically.
00:19:49.240 very sensitive. The country of Jordan is another extremely delicate case. Jordan already maintains
00:19:58.580 peace with Israel, but Jordan also contains a massive Palestinian population and remains
00:20:05.000 deeply tied to the Palestinian issue emotionally and politically. Public anti-Israel sentiment
00:20:12.940 inside Jordan remains strong. The Jordanian monarchy walks an extremely careful balancing act,
00:20:21.200 maintaining security cooperation with Israel while managing public anger over Palestinian issues.
00:20:28.320 So President Trump demanding broader normalization pressures Jordan internally as well. Because again,
00:20:35.380 this is not just diplomacy. This is a confrontation with decades of public political emotion and that
00:20:44.720 means everything. Now here's where this becomes existential for the Islamic Republic occupying
00:20:51.660 Iran. The Islamic regime built its entire revolutionary identity around permanent 0.96
00:20:58.860 confrontation with Israel and America. Death to Israel, death to America, the axis of resistance, 0.99
00:21:08.220 liberation of Jerusalem. These slogans are not symbolic decorations. They are the ideological
00:21:16.220 fuel of the regime itself. They are one of the core pillars that brought the Islamic regime to 0.98
00:21:25.460 existence. The Islamic regime needs that permanent conflict because conflict justifies repression 0.99
00:21:34.200 of the Iranian people. Conflict justifies militarization. Conflict justifies proxy 0.93
00:21:42.060 warfare. Conflict justifies economic sacrifice. It justifies their ideological extremism.
00:21:50.240 And if the Muslim world increasingly moves towards normalization with Israel, then the Islamic regime occupying Iran risks becoming isolated in a way it has never experienced before. 0.95
00:22:05.460 Imagine ordinary Iranians who, by the way, are very pro-Israel. 0.59
00:22:11.000 But imagine ordinary Iranians watching Saudi Arabia integrating economically with Israel, Qatar normalizing, Pakistan recognizing Israel, Turkey cooperating strategically, regional economies booming, while Iran, which is occupied by the Islamic regime, remains sanctioned, isolated, economically collapsing and trapped in endless Islamic revolutionary hostility. 0.61
00:22:41.000 That becomes dangerous for the Islamic regime internally, because eventually ordinary people start asking, why is the Islamic regime still doing this? Why is the Islamic regime isolating us? 0.53
00:22:54.760 Why is the Islamic regime forcing us to be poorer? Why are Arab countries moving forward while we, an Iranian civilization with historical ties and friendship with Israel, remain trapped in an Islamist anti-Israel ideology that is fundamentally opposed to the Iranian cultural identity and ideology?
00:23:21.260 And that questioning threatens the existence of the Islamic regime itself.
00:23:28.940 So to conclude, what President Trump appears to be attempting here is the creation of an entirely new Middle Eastern order. 0.76
00:23:39.160 A Middle East where Israel is normalized.
00:23:42.060 The Islamic regime occupying Iran is isolated. 0.80
00:23:45.820 Economic integration replaces endless ideological warfare.
00:23:49.860 and regional powers align around trade, technology, military coordination, and an anti-Islamic regime
00:23:59.220 containment. That is the real strategy. And whether it succeeds or fails, it is undeniably historic,
00:24:08.320 because this is not merely about peace. This is about ending the decades, centuries, thousands
00:24:16.160 year old anti-Israel political architecture that has dominated the region for generations
00:24:22.760 and that's why the backlash could be enormous. Islamist movements will oppose it. Hardliners
00:24:30.660 throughout the region will oppose it and obviously the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the
00:24:36.040 Islamic regime occupying Iran itself will oppose it aggressively. Militant organizations will frame
00:24:43.940 this as betrayal of Islam. Religious extremists will portray it as surrender. But at the same
00:24:51.740 time, millions of people throughout the Middle East are exhausted by endless war. And President
00:24:57.880 Trump is betting that economic opportunity, regional power, and an anti-IRGC alignment
00:25:05.760 will eventually outweigh that ideological hostility. That's the gamble. And if it works,
00:25:13.420 the Middle East could fundamentally transform before our very eyes. But if it fails, the 0.98
00:25:20.640 backlash could be explosive. Either way, what President Trump published this morning may become
00:25:28.660 one of the defining geopolitical moments of this era. I look forward to hearing your thoughts
00:25:35.840 in the comments. I'm Goldie Gamari, you're watching The Goldie Show, and now you know.
