Egypt Finds Consensus on Gaza's Future, Israel & Hamas Not Present
Egypt's foreign ministry announces a breakthrough: a committee for governing Gaza post-conflict has reached 'consensus.' This remarkable achievement reportedly includes Palestinian factions, but curiously omits both the elected governing body Hamas and, you know, Israel – the occupying power. One might wonder how a 'post-war' plan can be forged while the bombs still drop and the 'post' part
remains a distant dream for over two million besieged Gazans. This isn't the first time external parties have decided Gaza's fate. Remember the Oslo Accords in the 90s, where Palestinian representation was meticulously curated to exclude voices of resistance, leading to an 'interim' arrangement that solidified occupation? Or the 2005 disengagement where Israel simply relocated its occupation
*around* Gaza, turning it into an open-air prison? Now, in 2026, the international community, led by Egypt, drafts another future for Palestine, echoing the same old script: impose a 'solution' while avoiding the root causes and actual actors. It's a humanitarian pause for diplomacy, so long as actual Palestinians don't get too much say. How many more 'post-war' blueprints will be drawn up before
the current war even stops?
