Netanyahu to 'Meet Trump,' Gaza Plan 'Close' (Again)
Netanyahu announcing a 'second phase' for Gaza under a US president is a recurring motif, not news. In 2002, 2006, 2014, and now, it's always 'security needs' and 'eradicating threats.' The constant throughout these cycles? Continuous displacement and expansion. Trump, famously, greenlit Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights and moved the US embassy to Jerusalem without a single Palestinian
concession. This 'close' plan likely involves more of the same, framed as 'peace' while expanding settlements and pushing more Gazans out. One might wonder if any of these 'phases' ever included actual peace for Palestinians, or if it's always just a euphemism for further land grabs. Each 'plan' seems to accelerate the same outcome, just with a different US administration providing diplomatic
cover. It's not a plan for peace; it's a blueprint for perpetual conflict, endlessly rebranded.
