Netanyahu to Trump: 'Gaza Deal' Sounds Great, Where Do I Sign?
The story focuses on a supposed 'Gaza deal' and Iran, completely ignoring Netanyahu's consistent rejection of Palestinian statehood and a viable future for Gaza. This isn't a new posture; Netanyahu stated as early as 2009 that a Palestinian state would be a 'terror base,' a position he reiterated in 2014 and explicitly again this year, blocking any two-state solution. Meanwhile, Trump's
administration oversaw the moving of the US embassy to Jerusalem and the 'Deal of the Century,' which further marginalized Palestinian rights, all while receiving substantial political support from organizations like AIPAC. We’re expected to believe these discussions are about 'peace,' when history (and countless public statements) clearly indicate a strategy of control and expansion. How many
more meetings before media outlets acknowledge the consistent pattern of undermining Palestinian aspirations, often with bipartisan US backing fueled by millions in lobbying dollars? One might wonder if the 'deal' being discussed involves more land, less justice, and continued US military aid.
