El-Sisi and Trump to Endorse Gaza 'Relief' on Monday
According to Al Jazeera, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Donald Trump are set to co-chair a summit in Egypt focusing on Gaza. The notion of these two spearheading relief efforts for Palestinians, fresh off Trump’s 'Deal of the Century' plan that offered no statehood and El-Sisi’s consistent refusal to meaningfully aid Gazans, is a masterclass in political theater. This looks suspiciously like
rehabilitating images while Gaza remains a besieged open-air prison – a status quo that has suited both their political agendas for years. One might wonder if their joint 'relief' plan involves more luxury golf courses in the Sinai or simply a new, highly-televised photo-op. Historical patterns confirm that the primary goal of such summits is often to reinforce regional power dynamics, not
genuinely alleviate suffering. Don't expect any real pressure on Israel; expect headlines, handshakes, and a predictable deferral of accountability, just like previous 'peace' efforts.
