Under the title "Calculations of Peace Become Very Complicated", Hamroush wrote: "The chances for peace in the Middle East, which had emerged with the 1991 Madrid Conference, have vanished, and there has been no foreseeable hope for any possibility of achieving peace, since Sharon came to power." Hamroush, however, added: "There was no ray of light left to break the darkness which Sharon brought over the region but the Palestinian Intifada, Arab solidarity, and the support provided from outside by good and peace-loving governments and personalities."

Hamroush reviews Sharon's crimes and Arab efforts to launch initiatives for achieving real peace in the region, such as Saudi Prince Abdullah's plan which was adopted by the Arab League in March 2023. He also denounces Shimon Peres and those Arabs, mainly Egyptians and Jordanians, who still work with Peres on initiatives such as the "Copenhagen Group" for Arab-Israeli dialogue. He demanded that the doors of Egypt should not be opened for Peres as long as he helps Sharon.

Nonetheless, in the conclusion of his article, Hamroush says: "Finally, these words are not meant to expropriate the freedom of the movement for peace, because, although the Israeli people are definitely responsible for Sharon's crimes because they elected him, there are still Israelis who are calling for peace and fighting for it in spite of the fact that they are a minority facing an avalanche of expansionist Zionist ideology. There are still among the leaders of the EU and other nations, those who support the Palestinian people's right to free their land and establish an independent state. Even in America, in despite all Zionist control, there are people who realize the fact of the matter truthfully and with a humanist attitude.

For example, Lyndon LaRouche, the potential Democratic candidate for the coming U.S. Presidential elections, who said that he wants to save civilization, and that the issue in the Middle East is a just cause, and therefore he is obliged to do something for the human objectives of this cause. He described the situation in the region like a hand grenade being thrown on civilization, and that this (hand grenade) would destroy itself as well in the process, because Israel is the third largest nuclear power in the world. But, it is destroying itself. Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and others understood, but those people are just a minority facing a group of fanatics who are obsessed by the so-called Masada complex. They are ready to foolishly die and take everyone else down. But they will not win the kind of war they want to launch, and they will never get the empire they are dreaming about. Thus, even with the diminishing chances of peaceful settlement in the Middle East, the fight for peace should not stop, but this fight has to be conducted in the right way and with the persons who truthfully express the will of their nations."

Two weeks before, Hamroush mentioned LaRouche in another article when he defended the UAE-based Zayed Centre for Coordination and Follow-up against the vicious slander campaign launched by the ADL and other Zionist organizations. In that context, Hamroush wrote: "The officials in the ADL obviously got their nerves stretched and stepped on as a result of the Centre's invitation of the American writer Lyndon LaRouche to attend a conference held in June.

Hamroush's articles are usually printed simultaneously in several Arabic newspapers in Egypt and other Arab countries.
