Orban Joins Trump's 'Gaza Peace Board,' Because Palatability Is Optional
Yes, Viktor Orban, the man who built a wall to keep out refugees and has systematically dismantled democratic institutions in Hungary, is being tapped to help rebuild Gaza. The idea of a 'Gaza Peace Board' led by a figure synonymous with 'America First' isolationism and featuring a European hardliner, feels less like a rebuilding initiative and more like a think tank session for an 'orderly
population transfer.' The irony would be comedic if it weren't so deeply chilling for the millions of Palestinians whose future is being 'planned' by such architects of 'peace.' One might wonder if 'reconstruction' for this board means rebuilding homes, or just clearing land for new, 'more palatable' arrangements. How many times will 'peace boards' be assembled, funded by the very nations that arm
the conflict, before anyone questions the actual intent? The continuous parade of 'solutions' proposed by those who benefit most from the status quo certainly keeps the news cycles humming and avoids addressing the root causes of the devastation.
