Netanyahu to Discuss Gaza 'Peace Plan' with Trump, Again
NPR’s report announces Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Florida meeting with Donald Trump to discuss the “next phases of the peace plan for Gaza.” One might recall Netanyahu's similar 'peace' discussions after previous escalations, notably in 2014 and 2008-09. His track record includes systematically dismantling the Oslo Accords and actively expanding settlements while proclaiming
commitment to 'peace,' a definition apparently exclusive to Israeli security and land grabs. This isn't about peace; it's about legitimizing continued occupation and displacement. Trump's 'deal of the century,' unveiled in 2020, formalized annexation ambitions and gutted Palestinian statehood claims, earning him the Republican Jewish Coalition's unconditional support. The phrase 'peace plan for
Gaza' from these two figures sounds less like diplomacy and more like a macabre punchline, especially given the current humanitarian catastrophe in the strip. How many times must the international community pretend these photo ops are about anything other than further entrenching an extremist agenda?
