Kushner Tackles 'Normalcy' in Ceasefire-Riddled Gaza
The New Arab reports on Jared Kushner’s recent trip to Israel, meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu after a Gaza ceasefire. This isn't just a friendly chat; Kushner's past 'peace' efforts famously re-branded Palestinian liberation as 'economic opportunity,' culminating in the Abraham Accords that bypassed Palestinian self-determination entirely. His 2020 'Peace to Prosperity' plan explicitly endorsed
Israeli annexation of West Bank settlements, a move that only solidified dispossession. One might wonder what 'prosperity' looks like for a population under siege, especially when the conversations are happening exclusively with the occupiers. How many more 'ceasefires' and 'peace plans' do Palestinians need to suffer through before the world acknowledges the core issue isn't about 'development'
but simple human rights and an end to occupation?
