Kushner Joins 'Gaza Peace Board': Architects of Deals Now Constructing Peace?
The Hill announces a 'Gaza Board of Peace' featuring Jared Kushner, a man known for brokering the Abraham Accords—agreements that conspicuously sidestepped the core issue of Palestinian statehood. This 'peace' initiative comes as Gaza faces ongoing siege and destruction, a crisis intensified by US-backed policies and military aid. It’s a remarkable pivot for someone whose previous 'peace' efforts
effectively endorsed Israeli annexation without Palestinian consent. (The same 'deal' widely condemned as a non-starter by Palestinians and most international bodies.) One might logically ask: how does one architect a 'peace board' for a population under blockade, particularly when previous endeavors excluded their fundamental rights? It appears the 'peace' being pursued here is less about justice
and more about continued normalization of occupation, dressed up in philanthropic language. A true masterstroke of rebranding. Perhaps next, weapons manufacturers will launch a 'Global Disarmament Committee.' The irony, or rather, the sheer audacity, would be impressive if it weren't so tragically predictable.
