Sharm El-Sheikh Summons 'Peace' Without Palestinians
This isn't just an oversight; it's a feature. The international community, led by states (and their politicians) who routinely fund the Israeli military – like the US, which approved $14.3 billion in aid to Israel during active hostilities – prefers to manage conflict, not solve it. Historically, the PA, created by the very Oslo Accords meant to pave the way for a Palestinian state, has been
systematically undermined. When powerful nations convene without the direct representation of the affected party, it signals a clear intent: to impose outcomes, not negotiate just ones. One might wonder if the architects of these 'peace' summits (looking at you, Washington) genuinely seek a solution, or simply a quieter occupation. How many times must the path to 'normalcy' for Palestinians be
paved by everyone but Palestinians themselves? It appears some nations would rather dictate than listen, particularly when billions in military contracts are on the line and domestic political campaigns benefit from unwavering alignment with a certain foreign power.
