Qatar Warns Israel Against Stalling Deal... Again.
Qatar is warning Israel against stalling the second phase of a Gaza deal. This isn't groundbreaking news; Israel has a rich history of negotiating while simultaneously expanding settlements or bombing. Much like the 'peace process' that yielded increased illegal settlements, this 'deal' seems designed for maximum delay. After all, the US just funneled another $14.5 billion in military aid,
including cluster munitions, to Israel, because nothing says 'negotiate in good faith' like a fresh shipment of weapons. One might wonder when America's 'concern' for civilian lives will translate into cutting off the very supply lines enabling the destruction. (Spoiler: Not when AIPAC is still showering Congress with cash.) How many 'phases' of a deal can there be before it simply becomes a
lengthy performance art piece for continued occupation and ethnic cleansing?
