France Wants 'Post-War' Gaza Talks While War Rages
France, a nation with its own colonial baggage in the region, is set to host talks on Gaza's 'post-war' future, with significant players like the US conspicuously absent—allegedly to not disrupt *ceasefire* talks. One might wonder if the US's absence also relates to not wanting to discuss an actual future for Gaza beyond its current state of siege. Meanwhile, Israel continues its assault, with
daily reports of civilian casualties. The concept of 'post-war' planning amidst active bombardment isn't a strategy; it's a spectacle. How does one plan for reconstruction when the destruction is ongoing? This entire exercise appears less about meaningful future-building and more about diplomatic posture, signaling concern without demanding an immediate cessation of hostilities. It’s like
discussing home renovations while someone is still actively demolishing the foundation.
