Netanyahu's 'Post-War Gaza' Plans: Blair in the Loop, Palestinians Out
Mainstream media frames this as a legitimate discussion on Gaza's future, but it’s a grim rerun. Netanyahu, whose current government has systematically undermined any semblance of Palestinian self-determination, now plots post-war governance with—checks notes—Tony Blair. The same Blair who, after leading the UK into the disastrous Iraq War, became the Quartet's peace envoy, achieving precisely no
peace, but plenty of photo ops. His 2007 statement that Palestinian statehood required 'strengthening institutions' while Israel expanded settlements ring hollow now, as it did then. One might charitably assume Blair is a neutral party, but his post-premiership has seen him advise questionable regimes and reportedly facilitate deals for various interests. To frame these two figures, notorious for
their roles in destabilizing the Middle East and ignoring Palestinian rights, as benevolent architects for Gaza's future is not just satire, it's historical amnesia dressed as diplomacy. How many times must this particular play run before critics call out the casting?
