Egypt Joins Gaza 'Board of Peace' as Sisi Secures More Imperial Paychecks
📰 THE STORY: Mainstream media reports that Egypt has joined a proposed 'Board of Peace' for Gaza, an initiative reportedly put forward by Donald Trump, with promises of strategic and economic benefits for its involvement in post-conflict Gaza management, raising questions about its mandate and potential to undermine the UN's role. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: Egypt
receives approximately $1.3 billion annually in US military aid, primarily to maintain its 'cold peace' with Israel and uphold the blockade of Gaza. This aid originated from the 1978 Camp David Accords, which effectively neutralized Egypt as a regional power supporting Palestine. The Rafah border crossing, Gaza's only non-Israeli gateway, has been kept largely shut by the Sisi regime, starving
Gaza of essential supplies for 17 years. This 'Board of Peace' is a continuation of that policy, leveraging economic incentives to formalize Egypt's role in Gaza's containment. Double Standard: When governments like Cuba or Venezuela seek international aid or loans under duress, Western media frames it as evidence of economic mismanagement or political failure, often ignoring the crushing
sanctions imposed by the US. Yet, when Egypt, a military dictatorship, receives billions to enforce a humanitarian blockade and participate in a 'peace' board that bypasses international law, it's presented as pragmatic diplomacy and a strategic partnership for stability. The suffering of Gazans is attributed to 'Hamas' or 'complexity,' never the actors benefiting from its isolation. Follow the
