Miami Talks: 'Ceasefire' While Gaza Burns
The United States is hosting 'Gaza ceasefire talks' in Miami, as if distance lends perspective to genocide. While White House special envoy Steve Witkoff chats with regional powers, Netanyahu's government continues its relentless assault on Gaza. This isn't about peace; it's about managing optics for a US administration that greenlights cluster bombs one day ( HRW, April 5, 2024 ) and preaches
'restraint' the next. The talks are, as ever, a distraction from the real policy at play: unconditional support for Israel, regardless of Palestinian suffering. These 'negotiations' follow a well-trod path of US-led diplomacy that consistently fails to hold Israel accountable or protect Palestinians. One might wonder, how many luxurious Florida talks does it take before the world admits these are
not peace efforts, but rather elaborate performances designed to prolong a conflict in which the US remains Israel's primary enabler? It's a cruel irony to discuss 'ceasefire' far from the constant threat of bombs the US helps supply.
