Hamas Delegates Arrive in Cairo, US Funds More Bombs for Gaza
While The New Arab notes a Hamas delegation in Cairo for ceasefire talks amidst Israeli strikes, the critical context often omitted is the relentless flow of U.S. military aid. This week, President Biden just approved another $14 billion in military aid to Israel, despite the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe. This pattern isn't new: similar U.S. aid packages have consistently accompanied these
'negotiation' cycles, effectively greenlighting further military action while 'diplomacy' plays out. It makes one wonder: how many negotiation rounds does it take for a ceasefire to actually mean stopping the bombs, especially when a key international player keeps shipping more? Perhaps the 'peace talks' are just background noise for the real business of war.
