Egyptian Envoy Meets Israel as Gaza Starves, Again
Kamal's visit aims to 'implement a ceasefire deal' and facilitate aid, nearly eight months into a war that has laid Gaza waste. This isn't diplomacy; it's international theater while Palestinians starve. How many 'ceasefire talks' have occurred since October, each followed by renewed Israeli onslaughts supported by US arms? One might wonder if these 'negotiations' primarily serve to give an
illusion of concern, while Washington continues to approve another $15 billion in aid to Israel, as it did in April. Historically, Egypt has often been a convenient interlocutor, maintaining ties with Israel since the Camp David Accords. These 'talks' allow the US to claim diplomacy is working, while the siege tightens and the civilian death toll climbs. The pattern is clear: talk, bomb, talk,
bomb. It's a cruel game for Gaza, where 'aid' often means just enough to prevent outright famine, not enough to rebuild lives.
