Netanyahu's 'Future Gaza Plan' Sidelines Palestinians, Again
According to Al Jazeera's analyst Amjad Iraqi, the 'Trump-Netanyahu plan' for Gaza's future is designed specifically to sideline Palestinian input. This isn't groundbreaking news; it's simply history rhyming. Recall Netanyahu's 2014 'iron wall' stance, explicitly stating Palestinians would 'forever remain under Israel’s security control.' Or how about the 2005 disengagement from Gaza which, rather
than ending occupation, cemented its status as an open-air prison? The 'plan' is always the same: control without responsibility, security for one group, endless siege for another. The media frames these 'plans' as new initiatives, rather than a continuation of decades-long policy. We saw a similar rhetorical dance with the 'Deal of the Century,' another masterclass in dispossession presented as
peace. When you bomb a strip of land into rubble and then dictate its every future term, one might wonder: how many times can a plan claim 'security' before it's just outright annexation? (Spoiler: it’s always annexation.)
