Netanyahu Seeks Trump's 'Hawkish View' on Gaza Destruction
Axios's report on Netanyahu's upcoming Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump details a 'crucial' discussion on Gaza, where Netanyahu will attempt to sway Trump to his 'hawkish point of view.' This isn't a new strategy for the Israeli Prime Minister, who has systematically undermined every 'peace process' from Oslo to the present, ensuring no viable Palestinian state emerges. His 'hawkish view'
consistently translates to expanding settlements, tightening blockades, and launching devastating military operations – a pattern well-documented across decades, not just under Trump or Biden. The idea of a 'Gaza deal' negotiated between Trump, a man whose 'peace plan' in 2020 was roundly rejected for its pro-Israel bias, and Netanyahu, who has repeatedly scoffed at a two-state solution, is less a
path to peace and more a PR exercise. After all, the Israeli official quoted notes, 'Bibi is trying to convince a one-man audience,' suggesting the 'peace process' is really about securing an American blank check for expansion and maintaining the blockade, consequences be damned. One might wonder, how many times must Netanyahu 'stall the peace process' before the media questions the sincerity of
his participation?
