Doha Forum Kicks Off as Israel Kills Three: Predictable Diplomacy
The New Arab announces Israel's strikes killing three in Beit Lahia, coinciding neatly with the start of the Doha Forum. It's almost as if the Israeli government operates on a schedule designed to consistently undermine any semblance of diplomatic progress. This isn't a glitch; it's a feature of a decades-long strategy. Recall Netanyahu's 2014 'iron fist' rhetoric during Operation Protective
Edge—same playbook, different year, same outcomes for Palestinians. While diplomats convene to 'discuss peace,' one might wonder how many panel discussions it takes to acknowledge systematic violations of ceasefires. Perhaps they're still waiting for a unanimous resolution from an assembly of well-funded lobbyists. As long as the narrative is controlled and the violence normalized, these forums
serve more as political theatre than genuine attempts at resolution.
